Stopped in for breakfast. Nice pick! Clean! Friendly! I wanted a pancake with my eggs and they made THAT my "toast" selection. I used the bathroom and it was clean and proper. Newer building, ample parking, easy access to freeway and gas station right next door. So why not five stars? Margarine vs butter. And the coffee was standard diner fare. But I'd be pleased to visit this place again. It's a great place for a traveling family and friends. read more

Looked online for restaurants in Rawlins... this popped up... the stars/reviews were low but we thought we would try it anyways... so glad we did! Service was ok and friendly and very accommodating ... but the food was soooooo delicious! Home style for sure. Definitely worth a try if that's what you like... tried the combo plate with French toast sooooo good! More than enough food. We will be back! read more

Great Breakfast,Good Lunch,And Awesome Dinner. And Affordable Prices. Great Place.Reallly Nice Server's

The food was awful. We ordered breakfast which is hard to mess up but somehow they did. We waited for to long to get our meal then it was burnt and part of it cold. Would not recommend wasting your time and money. read more

Smells like old grease, food takes forever and the avocado tastes like sugar. Bathrooms are dirty. When our food finally came out the French fries were cold and my kids corn dogs were burnt. At least it wasn't expensive. read more

Great food! Hostess was very accommodating. We wanted to share a plate of spaghetti and I asked for a separate plate, but they put the spaghetti in two separate containers. How thoughtful! We even got 2 garlic bread each. read more

Deeply upset with this overall reasonable restaurant. Traveling through with my young son who stayed at the hotel while I went to pick up our 25 min. to go order. An hour later, after asking about my order which I could see waiting and cooling on the counter, the very unpleasant young female proceeded to deliver many other orders to the in house clients while flat ignoring me and giving me dirty looks. Eventually a more mature adult delivered my then cold food and charged me full price without apology. Unacceptable. Do not order out, apparently their staff could care less. read more

Rawlins is a small town (pop. 8500) in the middle of nowhere from the point-of-view of a Californian. One does not expect fine dining here. No surprise, Cappy's is not fine dining. What it is, however, is quite good enough. We stopped for dinner on a cross-country trip. My wife had cheese ravioli. We were not quite sure whether they were made in-house or purchased elsewhere, but they were well packed with ricotta cheese and covered with a tangy marinara sauce. It came with spaghetti and garlic bread and could have fed two people like my wife. I chose a Caesar salad with chicken. Hearty portion, a good facsimile of a Caesar dressing, and fresh lettuce. We each chose a house-made pie for dessert. She had fresh apple pie a la mode, and I had lemon meringue. Both pies were just excellent. Our waitress was a young lady named Kayla. Very efficient and pleasant. read more

Very casual environment. They were busy. All the customers know each other. It was great food. I would eat there again. I had the homemade chicken fried steak with cottage cheese, roll, and potatoe soup. I think it is worth a stop. If you are driving through then this is one of the few restaurants around. You won't go wrong. Staff was super friendly. read more

See all

Just to be all the way real, you're better off going to the Exxon or Conoco next door and getting food from there. It'd be cheaper and so much better read more

Loved this place. Good food. Great staff. When I asked who is in the picture behind the cash register, the young man proudly said, "That's my Nana." The attentive young staff immediately made sense. read more

First time visiting. I had the Buffalo Chicken salad which was amazing. I read other reviews about how awesome the chicken fried steak is because they don't deep fry it and I believe they might cook the Buffalo wings the same way. Very crisp and amazing. I had with ranch which was also great. Definitely made fresh not from a bottle. I will be back for sure. read more

When we entered it took a while to be seated. No menus given by hostess. Waitress came to take order approx 10 mins after we were seated. We asked for menus, the waitress seemed surprised that we needed them, returned a few minutes later with them and immediately asked if we were ready to order. We asked if we could look at the menus first and she walked away. We waited another 10 minutes for her to come back. While waiting we were able to notice the place, menus and windows were all dirty. Since our time and business were not valued ( and we over heard from another table that they were out of steak!) We decided to leave. However, people were pouring in. The people there seemed to be enjoying themselves. Although the location is right off 80, it is worth it to drive to downtown and try another place that is clean and may value your business. read more

We had great salad and fried chicken. Remember you are not in the middle of a city. Rawlins, WY is in the middle of no where. We didn't want to go to a bar with grill so went here. Friendly waitress. We would stop again. read more

The food is sub standard. We ordered a seasoned burrito and a Chicken fried steak. Neither one has any flavor or spices. Completely unappatizing. Said something to the manager and her response was everyone loves our food and we cater to our clientel. Obviously not versed in effective customer service or the desire to increase business. Very expensive for not good food. Wont waste my time there again. As well kind of dirty and ceiling tiles nasty. read more

I had the Italian sandwich (essentially, a chicken parm) and my partner had a patty melt on rye. It was pretty decent, and the price was okay. A fine place to stop on your way out of town back onto 80. read more

Cappy's Restaurant & Bar - Menu snippet. - Diners Near Me - Rawlins, Wyoming

Food OK. Nothing to write home about. Service OK, again, don't write home about it. I made two trips today, my first and my last

If I could give 0 stars I totally would. I asked the waitress what she would recommend and she said that the prime rib was good, so I ordered it. Honestly my first reaction was WTF IS THIS. I'm not one to be picky but when your prime rib is 50% fat sitting in grease on the same pan they used to cook it, I complain. The fries were garbage super soggy. How can you possibly mess up French fries? Mashed potatoes tasted like dish soap and butter. Barbecue chicken had McDonalds quality BBQ sauce poured on top of it lol. Seriously, I would have rather skipped dinner for the night. I took two bites off my prime rib and they didn't even offer to take it off the bill. IT WAS TWENTY DOLLARS. DO NOT EAT HERE read more

Been to Cappy's several times, breakfast, lunch and now dinner. They never fail, just below average all the time.

Service was great, food isn't. Chicken fried steak was tough and chewy and the breading falls apart. Had a sour taste on the meat so it's probably an old batch of meat from the meat locker. read more

Not worth the money you pay for the food .. I had a Cesar Chicken Salad and got food poisoning the owner has yet to return my phone calls or reimburse me the funds is cost to purchase the food. On my way home took me 4 days to travel a 2 day trip ... read more

Food was good.. nothing special, but really delicious. Staff was friendly. I would recommend you get the red chili fries. Those are delicious! Soda was almost $3 which is a bit pricey read more

Simple dinner but delicious food. Large breakfast servings. Quick service.

I went there for breakfast and ordered the chicken fried steak took about 45 minutes to get my meal when I got it the hash browns were cold and the steak was sour needless to say I didn't eat it. I haven't found a good meal since I got to Rawlins read more

Sorry - but a better name would be Crappy's. Soup (tomato rice?) was a bowl of sodium - my "patty melt" was not a melt - toasted bread with an overcooked burger and negligible cheese inside - and served on big entrée plate with 4 pickle slices making it look like an afterthought from the kitchen. My brother-in-law had the fried chicken and I agree with other reviews - looked like a frozen dinner right out of the box. To make matters worse, we sat there looking at Yelp reviews/pictures of other restaurants in the area that we should have gone to - and will go to next time. read more

My girlfriend and I were passing through Rawlins and decided to grab some grub. We saw Cappy's and thought we would give it a shot. BIG mistake. We usually are not ones to complain, however this was especially bad. Not only were the booths filthy, but there was a whole fly wing stuck in the menu. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip and besides having no flavor, the center was rubbery and the edges burnt. The last straw was when I got my fries and they were soaked in oil and soggy as if there were microwaved. I genuinely feel cheated, considering the meal with drinks came out to over 30$ (plus tip). We told the waitress about the issues with the food and she did not offer to do anything about it, even though we barely touched the food. On a bright note the BLT was decent. Pass this one up. read more

I really wanted to like this place as I had heard good things about it. I was starving but it still wasn't good. The highlight of my meal was the salad with bottled dressing and club crackers. The fried chicken tasted like the banquet fried chicken t.v. dinners of my youth, with powdered mash, packet gravy and all. Server was polite and attentive so I give 2 stars. Won't be back though. read more

3 words for you! (Don't do it.) There are better restaurants even with the few options that may be available here in this south Wyoming town of Rawlings. The real complaint is about this place stinks, the food is bland and there is nothing real compelling to draw you back. There are flies that buzz you and die bomb you while you're trying to eat. This place should be named just "Crap" I would give it 1/10 of a star but it won't let you. 1 little plus the waitress was nice and she knew English, so I guess that's worth a star. ( I think that says it all.) read more

On our way through Rawlins we stop at Cappy's. It was about 10am and the breakfast rush was just ending. I ordered the Breakfast Tacos smothered with green chili. They were delicious!! Just what this hungry traveler needed and something other than hash browns, eggs, and bacon (which they also have and is delish according to my husband). The coffee was hot and not watered down. I would recommend anyone making a stop before getting on the looooooong boring interstate, stop for the Breakfast Tacos and friendly quick service. read more

My first opinion of this establishment was the restroom. There is a bucket under the sink containing dirty sink water. The stalls do no have toilet seat liners. The bathroom was not impressively clean at all. After looking at their menu we soon realized that we would be eating over priced diner food. The drinks are $1.99 for a soda. We decided to share a double cheese burger with fries, almost $10. Our waitress was very nice and attentive to our table. read more

To give you an idea of where I'm coming from.... We are traveling across country with no real solid plans of where we stop along the way, real adventurous. Anyway. We stayed one night at the holiday Inn Express and don't eat fast food (ever really) for dinner while on the road. This place was one of the recommendations from the front desk folks. We were limited because it was Sunday and understandably some places were closed and others were....well fast food. Off to Cappy's we went. The not-so-good: -Upon entering I was stopped in my tracks by overwhelming heat, heavy air, and the sound of a large amount of frying going on. -The appearance of the restaurant is dingy and not entirely clean feeling. I think this might be due to the excessive frying. -while the service was not abominable it wasn't really pleasant either. The waitresses were more like food haulers than hospitable servers. Half a star down....they weren't rude, just not friendly or helpful. -no air conditioning. Did I mention the Heat? Glass windows wrapped around the dining area. Put up some window blinds at least. - the fryer! It seemed like the fryer was 3 feet away from us on the other side of a partition wall. It was loud, didn't appear to have a vent so the thick fried air blanketed diners, it sounded too hot too. - It seemed that almost everything on the menu was fried, breaded, or covered in some sort of sauce. Hard to travel with this in your belly! The better: - chicken fried steak wasn't the worst although grey and mushy. Taste was ok, definitely better than a fast food meal. It came with a garden salad. No mark down here... Can't knock 'em for the same salad time salad every other restaurant serves. - iced tea and diet coke. Both good, both HUGE! - taco Salad. What a pleasant surprise. For a dollar or so more I went with chicken instead of taco meat. All the salad ingredients were fresh and it had good flavor. Be sure to drizzle the salsa on the salad, it's a good compliment. I coulda done without the rice and beans on the side but I just left it. - roomy parking area. We have a large truck and covered trailer hauling the toys. No problem parking along the backside - convenient off the highway. - although service wasn't cheery they were effective in getting food and drinks out to patrons. We were back relaxing in our room in no time. - more enjoyable and tasty than fast food selections in town read more

Stopped here for lunch, easy access off & on Interstate 80. Seated immediately, a friendly waitress brought menus. Ordered the spinach salad & cup of claim chowder. My hubby ordered the fried halibut w cup of claim chowder. The soup was warm, not hot, tasted ok. The spinach salad had lots of spinach leaves, crumbled bacon, almonds, apple slices, lightly seasoned chicken strips & boiled eggs w gray yolks!! Not a gray ring around yolk, a gray yolk. WOW, gray yolk was a big turn off! WE EAT WITH OUR EYES FIRST! The raspberry balsamic dressing was good, helping me to eat some of salad. I removed egg yolks but there went my protein. The French fries were greasy, some done more than others, weird! The halibut was good. The place was busy, I assume lots of locals. I was not happy at all w my meal, will not be back. I've never seen boiled eggs look like that. read more

So sorry that the first review was bad. I had a good experience! I was trying to decide between Chicken Fried Chicken or Chicken Parmigan. I asked the food server and I specified, "please don't say that both are good." The food server was quite creative! She said, "both dishers are different dining experiences." She went on to give tantalizing descriptions of both dishes. Her flair with the words helped me make my decision quickly. When I saw the prices, I originally thought, "typical small town expensive prices" until I saw how much food you get! Holy cow! The chicken parmigan was HUGE and the "side" of spaghetti was the amount I generally eat for a meal! Even the glass of water was huge! I needed both hands to hold the glass! Expect to to ask for a "go" box. The salad that came with the meal was on a different plate. The salad was the typical 95% lettuce, three grape tomatoes, and one ring of a purple onion. However, the salad dressing was generous, it was enough to drown the salad to the point where you don't care that it was 95% lettuce. I walked here from a nearby RV Park. If you are staying in one of the RV parks and don't want to cook, this will do! read more

Excellent, friendly service and good standard-fare breakfast. Would stop again on our next road trip through Rawlins WY.

Stopped here for breakfast on our way thru town. My Husband and I both ordered the chicken fried steak meal with a side of biscuits and gravy. Everything was perfect, great home cooked food! We will definitely come back again if we're in the area read more

We stopped here on our trip to Minnesota from California and the service was great and the food was delicious.

We had great service, Patty is great! The burgers are good, we had a mushroom Swiss, a patty melt, and the green chile burger was delicious! read more

Riding back from Sturgis to Salt Lake, we happened upon Cappy's, near the gas station where we filled up. We're so glad we stopped! We were seated right away, and a friendly waitress helped guide us toward a pretty terrific patty melt! We really enjoyed our meals and thought the prices were very fair. We'll definitely stop here again! read more

This is not my favorite restaurant in Rawlins, the food is okay but nothing to write home about. The thing that set me back was the smell of bad grease when I walked into the restaurant, it never went away the whole time I was there. It has a great location easy to get on and off freeway. read more

This restaurant is the best!!! The food was hella good and the ppl were so nice we got our food straight away and got everything we needed.
