    Blackened fish tacos.
    Mike W.

    So I'd heard about Capricious and wanted to try it for a couple weeks. Tonight, I finally moseyed out to Newberry proper from the outskirts of Newberry where I live and tried it out--and very glad I did. First off, the interior is utterly stunning. And I was talking with the owner and she did a lot of the renovations herself! Very astute adaptive reuse of an historic building and very tasteful and welcoming with its exposed original brick, paintings on the walls, shelved books from the owner's grandfather, and other choice details. It feels classy but welcoming and informal. You could come here on a nice date but I didn't feel awkward walking in wearing boardshorts and Converse, either. The owner and her staff are very friendly and like their restaurant, welcoming and informal. The menu is eclectic and expansive, also changes pretty often apparently. I ordered the fish tacos and had them blackened instead of fried. They were very good, pretty spicy, and of ample size which is nice because plenty of places give you very meager little tacos--but not here, three decent-sized ones. I'm really glad this place has opened up because Newberry needed something like this and everything seems literally spot-on, no aspect where I can really complain at all. I don't know what if any desserts they had but suspect they have some--I'd already gotten donuts from the bakery next door (which I also very much recommend). They don't serve lunch yet but the owner told me it's in the works.

    From the moment you walk in, you will be charmed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, making it a wonderful spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The food was outstanding--every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. If you're looking for a local gem with fantastic food and a relaxed, charming vibe, I highly recommend Capricious Local Eatery.

    Love what they have done with this place!

    The food is prepared fresh and very flavorful with different items added all the time. This keeps us coming back just to see what's new coming from the chef. Staff is supper friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this casual friendly local restaurant and bar.

    Love that they had a small menu, food was very delicious, service was just a tad confusing as to whether you ordered drinks at the bar or you had a server come to your table. But every encounter we had with the server was very good. The ambience was very low-key and quiet and kind of chill which was really nice. Wasn't noisy. Could have a nice conversation.

    Bar and dining area

    A real find in Newberry. Low key ambiance but a major step above the sports bar atmosphere so many of the local places have. A wide range of salads, shareable small plates, sandwiches and a few dinner entrees. Lots of vegetarian options. Food is different without being weird, and I've loved everything I've tried here. Order at the counter, they bring the food to your table. House wines are very drinkable and a steal at $6 for a generous pour.

    Crispy Parmesan chicken with thier own twist and a Chicken power bowl.

    Cool spot! We sat the bar and had a great dinner. The food was delicious and the staff was kind and attentive. We will be back! Such a cool menu.

    Tried this new spot on a whim for date night. Definitely not disappointed! The ambiance was beautiful, attention to detail 10/10, the owner (who took our order) was super kind and had many recommendations. We went with all of them and the food was outstanding! Highly recommend!

    Amazing fish tacos

    The place is cute, but the food is terrible. They are trying hard but the food reminds me of a kiosk at an airport or mall.

    I visited Goldie's Burger while my sister was visiting. She is a smash burger connoisseur and…read morewanted to give them a try before our walk around Depot Park. She had the cheese burger with all the toppings and grilled onions and a side of queso. She said it was decent. I had a cheese burger as well with lettuce and Goldie's sauce. I thought mines was good but wish I actually tasted the Goldie's sauce. We shared a box of fries which were hot and fresh and a good amount. I would have liked if they were more crunchy though. We sat outside which was nice to enjoy the weather.

    Really cute hamburger place inside a reclaimed box car with attached game room, nicely clean…read morebathrooms and a beer and wine garden at the end with nice seating area there as well. Parking is a challenge, but we parked elsewhere and walked over there. The smell of the delicious burgers had me drooling! Got the double patty with cheese Goldie burger and onion rings and my husband got the same with loaded tater tots. Sprite and water in a bottle for drinks...and we were all set. Our order came out pretty quickly and we enjoyed watching the kids run around excitedly and play the various games, whether it was skee ball, pinball, driving courses, riding the motorized animals...kids enjoy the most basic things to the maximum! Great idea for families! Nice park frontage, walking paths, etc. I'm going to have to tell my daughter in law to bring the kids here next time. They'd LOVE IT! The Goldie Burger was fantastic. They do have vegan options as well, so don't fret! Tots, fries and onion rings are excellent sides for your sandwich. The fella at the front counter was beyond pleasant, helpful, friendly and very attentive to every patron. Even went so far as to give extra free tokens to one family with 3 little ones since they spent so much there on their meals. I gave out free tokens to a lithe younger girl who was wearing what used to be my favorite sneakers growing up...Converse All-Stars! She had her mouth hanging open for a few minutes while mom said thank you for her...hey, old people don't place much arcade games I told them.... So enjoy! Great family spot with the kids to run off that excess energy and have fun. We enjoyed the food and the scenery.

    This place is great. Tasty burgers, delicious fries, awesome service. The best part of the visit…read morewas Ruth who took care of us. She was super and made us feel like we were welcome - a rarity in this day and age. The only thing that could have made the visit better is if they used tallow for their fryer. Thanks! We'll be back!

    First off, let me just say that I was absolutely DRAWN here by the smell of the burgers cooking…read morewhile I was vacuuming out my car at the carwash practically next door! It's kind of deceptive at the street, you'll see their name on the sign out front, but there's nothing telling you to drive BETWEEN Chipotle and the weed dispensary towards the back and beat to your right. RELISH is at the end, but there's TONS of parking and I appreciate that. Went inside and since I'd never been there before, I thought one of the women that were there would at least help me out, but the one young girl must've been on her way out the door because she was asking me if I was ordering chicken...I was confused. I said no, but then she asked me if I was picking up an order and I answered no to this as well...and then said I hadn't even ordered yet. Took me repeating this twice for her to understand me. I get it. It's small, lots of sizzling sounds and fryer sounds and then there's music playing ( I'm assuming) as well...all this makes it a little hard to hear. Finally placed my order. I got a double patty cheeseburger. Onion rings. And so the short wait began...one of the fellas at the grill asked me what I wanted on my burger...you choose exactly what sauces or lack thereof you want! Done right in front of you so you can ask for more or less...garlic aoli? Wow! Who knew? I'm missing BurgerFi less right about now! If you want grilled mushrooms or grilled onions or if you want them raw or bell peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, different cheeses, jalapeños, (bacon is extra though as is a fried egg), banana peppers, just like a subway! I'm a mayo and A1 lover with lots of pickles and one tomato...but decided to try it with the GRILLED onions. I'm getting that again! Absolutely fantastic and done EXACTLY the way I wanted it. I have to say that their pickles are superb because of the crunch factor. So many places will give you pickles and they're little scrawny floppy excuses for a pickle. Also, you go somewhere else and you get a double because their patties are so thin...NOT HERE! You get what you pay for. Tomato slices? Not paper thin like the other places...not barely there. Nice thick juicy slices! I have to mention their buns. I would be remiss if I passed by this topic and didn't touch on it. I don't know where they buy them from or if they make them, but they are absolutely superb. Soft and tender to the bite, but hold up so well and don't fall apart. I like that. Like a cornmeal dusting on top too. Old fashioned but so so good. Just not enough bun to burger ratio. Way too much burger -- and I never thought I'd ever say that! The fellas were so nice, cooked my food to perfection and I can't say I have not the slightest complaint about anything regarding this restaurant. Decent amount of food for the money compared to other places and the quality is definitely there. Worth every penny in my opinion. This place has just now moved into my favorite spot that was left vacated when they took away my BurgerFi. And if you haven't tried them...YOU ARE MISSING OUT!
