The best steakhouse in Memphis! There are plenty of top steakhouses but this one is the best for service, food and ambiance. This restaurant never disappoints with the quality of food. The manager and waiters are always attentive to your needs. The ambiance is great for date night or any celebration. You will always have great food. They also offer complimentary valet just bring cash for tips.

The place to go for the full steakhouse experience! My experience at Capital Grille lived up to the reputation of the establishment. We didn't have a reservation because it was early for dinner and we knew we wanted to sit at the bar. We entered from the brightness of the day outside in the dark and sultry interior of the restaurant. We were greeted and ushered to the bar area where we chose our own seats. Our bartender introduced himself, provided us with menus, and informed us of the specials of the day. We told him we were on a mission to find a great burger and we had come specifically for the burger specials. He explained the options to us and helped us make drink selections to pair with our choices. I chose the Wagyu Cheeseburger with no bun, fries, and a Pinot Noir and my husband got the bleu cheese and black truffle burger with fries. Our orders arrived promptly and looked delicious! Each burger was cooked to our exact specifications, mine being medium and my husband's medium rare. You could see the difference on the inside color once we had taken a few bites. The fries were also great. Steakhouse fries are some of the most underrated menu items. They're always a step above. All in all, we loved our experience at Capital Grille and will definitely be back for more.

22 oz bone-in ribeye
Angela P.

We ate there last night. I've eaten at TCG in NYC 2x and Dallas 2x. Those are phenomenal. This one would come in 3rd between those. The experience and service was 5 star, but the 22 oz bone-in ribeye was not as good as the others. Not seasoned as thoroughly as the others but still melt in your mouth. This one is the closest to me but not sure I'd travel back to eat there.

Mushroom and Swiss Wagyu burger and fries

Ate the Wagyu and Wine last night. It was delish!!! I chose the mushroom and Swiss burger. It was cooked perfectly and the fries cooked in duck fat were awesome. This is such a great deal - don't miss out. It's available until November 16th, for $35 you get to pick from three delicious burger options and 3 wines plus it includes fries. The service and atmosphere are great as always.

I don't normally order burgers out but since CG's Wagyu and Wine is so popular, I decided to try. It is amazing!

Great food and great service! We also got severa sides but my personal favorite dish was the filet. it was a great cut and cooked to at a perfect medium rare.

Roasted Chicken Breast with Mushrooms and Parmesan Risotto

A group of 10 colleagues and I decided to go to The Capital Grille for a team lunch the other day but didn't have reservations. I expected them to not be able to get us in, but they made some quick arrangements within one of their rooms and it was great! I always think it being a place for a heavy dinner (steak and potatoes). When I went for lunch the other day for a team luncheon, I was happy to see that they had a lunch specific menu with a few lighter options. When arriving to The Capital Grill with 10 colleagues and no reservation, I was surprised that they were so willing to rearrange things and find a space for our large group to dine. They seated us in a private room and quickly set it up so that we could all connect and it ensured it was a very nice environment for us. I was also pleased to see that they had a lunch specific menu as I was worried it would be too heavy of a meal for lunch and wouldn't be great for a during work outing. While everyone's order looked great and was thoroughly enjoyed, I would absolutely order my same meal again - it was much better than I could've pictured. Our meal started off with drinks (we ordered sparkling water), a bread basket (served with salted butter), and then we decided to order. I selected the Roasted Chicken Breast plate which came with mushroom and parmesan risotto as well as a caesar salad. Our table also ordered a few orders of the truffle fries to share. The chicken cut so easily that I could've used just my fork or a butter knife and the risotto was rich and flavorful. The fries were perfectly cooked and also seasoned well. The service was also phenomenal - our server was friendly and ensured the lunch went seamlessly. Would absolutely visit again!

Went to capital grille during the generous pour, and had a great time. The service was great and the atmosphere was quiet. This is a great place for date night or dinner with friends. The food was amazing as well.

I went here with a group of colleagues on a business trip. Everything was impeccable. We ate at a spacious table in the bar area. The service was polite, prompt, and professional. The drinks were delicious, the appetizers were perfectly portioned, and the entrees were plated to impress. I would definitely recommend.

Went to Non-Vintage for the first time to see Edie Bake Oven and her beautiful ladies perform. If I…read morecould give a review for Edie alone, it would be 5 stars. She carried this review up to the 3 I'm giving Non-Vintage. First of all, there was a severe deficiency of seating and staff for this event. No one greeted us when we entered, we moved chairs ourselves to make an accommodating space out of the way of the performers, and at no point did a member of staff take our order outside of waiting at the bar. The line for the bar was right in the way of the performers, and many people were forced to wait 10+ minutes for a drink order because there was only one bartender working. Another staff member had offered to help, and the bartender DECLINED, forcing us to continue to wait. I did try the wings and the charcuterie, they were good. I tried the nonalcoholic hibiscus drink and the nonalcoholic summer cooler drink. The summer cooler was much better in my opinion, but both were good nonalcoholic options. I think I would like to try this place when they are not hosting an event, I'm sure it's lovely when they are staffed appropriately for the shift. However, I was sorely disappointed tonight being forced to wait nearly an hour at the bar, missing parts of the show and on my feet for just a drink.

Great food! Everything was quite tasty. The service was great!…read more A large group left the restaurant and it took more than 45 minutes for someone to clean it up. There weren't that many customers in during this time and I saw quite a few waiters that could have cleaned it up. Maybe I'm a bit of a prude - when I eat out, I'd prefer not to see dirty dishes on empty tables when I'm walking to/from the laboratory. Regardless, I will be returning next time I'm in Memphis. One more comment - when I used to live in Memphis (maybe 5 years ago?) this restaurant had a piano player some nights. This was AWESOME !!! Any chance of bringing that back??? That piano player made the place SO SPECIAL compared to other restaurants. It was the perfect blend of a good meal in a nice environment with a magnificent musician demonstrating their talents. Always kinda felt magical in a manner of speaking

As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I…read moreexperienced: - We arrived at 11:10 for an 11:15 reservation and it was clear that the management did not plan for ample staff nor were the scheduled staff in position ready to serve prior to their 11 o'clock opening. - Our waiter, Matthew was very pleasant, but it took him over seven minutes for his first visit to our table. He was then subsequently also tasked with an entire conference room full of people to serve. - When our food did finally come out, it was lukewarm and the appetizer arrived when the rest of our meal arrived, 47 minutes after we arrived. --- Total miss management of staffing!!! - Also, they are cutting back on the size of the meatballs now, which used to be a favorite. We'll think twice about returning here!

Ok so this place is…read morethe worst and I have been all over the us and Canada to night clubs, we are down in Mississippi for work and we drove an hour and a half to go out here , I shouldn't even have to say this but me and my buddy are white and the two friends we went out with are black, and the security door man let are friends in no problem but told us we had to have something for black clothing on because it was all black night so we went to the vehicle and put some black clothing on and then headed back over then we get back up to him and he literally told us that this is all black night that if we ( white boys) wanted to get in we would have to pay him a 100 dollar cover charge when the club cover charge was only 20 dollars then we messaged are friends to let them know what was up and they literally said if she goes out to see them don't let her back in. Seriously in all my life and I'm 40 I have never had someone be so straight racist to me and then say our friends couldn't go back in if they came out to talk to us. This place should be shut down no public place should be allowed to do that to anyone and what kind of owner hires someone like that. SO IF YOU ARE WHITE DONT EVEN TRY TO GO OUT HERE
