A word from Capital City Chophouse

For the past 11 years, customers have been streaming into the Capital City Chop House citing the delicious food, the great service and the good value. Why is it that many guests return to the Chop House so often that the staff are able to greet them by name? It’s because the restaurant maintains… a level of quality and consistency- thanks to the credentialed chefs and experienced wait staff- that diners have come to depend on. Perhaps the most important constant at the Chop House is the Certified Angus Beef Brand; considered the “royalty of beef.” Less than 8% of all beef makes the CAB grade, yet the Chop House serves only CAB across the board, from center-cut steaks to burgers. The Chop House philosophy is to let its delicious steaks speak for themselves, seasoning them with a simple grating of tricolored peppercorns. The Chop House serves only the highest quality of products available; join us for lunch or dinner. Private banquet rooms are available.Continued

Diner Reviews

"I've been here regularly on business trips for the past few years. The quality of the food and service have both gone down quite a bit during the last two visits. The meat was over-cooked. The server's service was sub-par. For the prices that they charge, I expect high standards, which the Chophouse is not meeting."

"My wife & I had each dined at CCCH prior/separately (for business functions) and enjoyed it, so we decided to have a dinner date there on Saturday evening, 3/8/14. I had requested a quiet booth and was pleased to get seated at a very inviting & comfortable booth in the quiet back corner of the main dining room. Atmosphere was perfect for a romantic outing. Our server was very prompt and truly outstanding - she was very helpful and seemed to know exactly when to be there - almost seemed she could read our minds. Timing for arrival of our drinks and food (soup, salads, entrees) was perfect, and everything tasted delicious. Couldn't ask for better. Thanks, CCCH!"

"The Chop House is always great for business lunches and dinners. Great for that special occasion as well. Great staff and great food are the norm."

"Good place for business lunches if you have the time. The service can be a bit slow so may not get in and out in an hour. However, tables are large, possible to have private conversation. Food generally good and selection is good."

"I love eating at the bar. The staff is wonderful and the food is always great. I usually get the steak or tuna appetizer."

"This has been a favorite place for after work meetings as well as one of our favorite places to take our clients. However, I was extremely disappointed to see a 90 rating. If we didn't have clients with us, we would have left. What's going on?"

"I've always heard high remarks regarding Chop House from two members of our party as they are frequent lunch customers. Everything lived up to what I was told. The brie and bruschetta were great appetizers, and the spicy tuna roll was amazing."

"We made several changes the day of our dinner to the number of people attending and the staff was very easy to work with and helpful in making the changes."

"The food was wonderful and the service was very nice. The spotlights aimed at the tables detract from the overall ambiance - more indirect lighting would serve much better. Our waitress was attentive, if not in a hurry. I would recommend this place for a special occasion, or a business type lunch. The steaks are great and the crabcakes....!!!"

"We had the tilapia fettuccine and ribeye. Both were cooked correctly and had a great taste. The service consistent checked on our table and kept our beverage filled."

"When my wife and I arrived at the restaurant the hostess said that she didn't have a reservation for me, I showed her my email confirmation from the reservation that I made weeks in advance but yet still got the same response. she never even offered to try and fit us in. It wasn't until the manager came over and read it that he told her to go ahead and seat us. The sad thing is that the restaurant was never full (yes, even on Valentines day), there was always 2-3 empty tables but they were ok with turning away a patron ready to give them business. At some point people just need to make the call that is most practical and not rely solely on technology, especially if it is wrong. Once we were seated the server was nice and the food was great"

"Had the crab cocktail and shrimp cocktail for appetizers, both were excellent. Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly, and the NY Strip was also done to perfection. Both steak dinners included a side dish along with either a soup or salad, we really liked that feature. The salads were fresh and crisp, and the side dishes were tasty. No complaints at all about the food. The timing of the food arriving to the table was great, no dishes were rushed, our waitress did an awesome job at making sure we had everything we needed without making us feel like she was crowding our dining experience."

"Went for Valentines Day/birthday dinner and had an amazing night. We had a quiet corner booth and started with the tuna appetizer. Wonderful. I had salmon, spouse had steak. Food was prepared prefectly. Service was spectacular. Was treated to a complimentary birthday pound cake with raspberries which was awesome. Just a perfect dinner all around."

"The Chop House is close to the Airport and RTP businesses making it an excellent choice to make connections with business associates and customers. The food is always predictably very good and service is excellent. Semi-private room is available for larger groups. The noise levels are moderate making for easy discussion around a large table. Plenty of parking and convenient to local hotels. Reservations are easy to make with Open table or by calling directly."

"My husband and my best friend recently dined here and we had a wonderful evening. Our server, Val, was extremely good. She was attentive without hovering and allowed us our privacy without ignoring us. The wine was fabulous, the appetizers great and the entrees equally good. The atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and allowed us to have private conversations. You can't ask for a better evening. We will definitely be back and will recommend this restaurant to friends and colleagues. Thanks for a great time."

"I've tried several different entrees and liked everyone with the exception of the fish tacos. Too much salad dressing and garnish to wrap up. The steaks are cooked to perfection! Service is great. Try it, you'll like it!"

"Very excellent food and atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and attentive."

"We had reservations at 5:30 pm on a cold Wednesday night in January, Despite the fact that I have obvious difficulty walking (and I was using a cane!), they seated us ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK, thus making us walk as far as possible. When I asked if there was any possibility of being seated closer I was told that this was the only section that was open, and if it was unacceptable, we could go somewhere else. While the food was good, I know that there are plenty of other restaurants in the Triangle who serve a nice steak who are less dismissive and rude, and I will take the lady's advice and go there instead. The server didn't even ask if we wanted separate checks; she just plunked down the bill and walked away."

"Glad I was here on business dinner. $40 for a 14oz strip, baked potato and salad. Whew! Steak was excellent and prepared to perfection. Salad was skimpy and salad dressing was a disappointment (Kraft?). Too noisy in the dinning room we were in. We had good to excellent service/waiter. Prices are ridiculous for what you get. Would rather have gone to Angus Barn but I did not get to pick the restaurant this trip."

"Other than taking our order the waiter was MIA. We were a group of 6 and had to pour our own wine. He never checked back on us and it wasn't due to high traffic, we were one of only a few tables. The food was good but I felt the price was too high for a restaurant that had no atmosphere, music or character. There were only a few occupied tables on a Saturday night. Lower prices may drive business up."

"Selected Capital City Chop House for an important business lunch on January 17, 2014. We were seated quickly in a location that facilitated our discussion. The service was prompt, attentive and very responsive throughout our meal experience. without being intrusive. Our starters , drinks and meals were absolutely first rate all around! I will be back soon and will being /refer friends!"

"Had fantastic dinner Salmon and Grouper. We were very happy with the staff and our reservation was on time. Unfortunately we sat next to a large group who were way too loud and one woman thought this was her personal public display to roar out her laugh. I wish someone in the management team would tell her to behave in this type restaurant with the correct level for adults, but no one did anything. I know we were not alone."

"This restaurant knows how to cook a good steak! We went so often and lunch and always asked for the filet, that they added it to their lunch menu, I love to order mine with a cajun crust and the Grand Marnier sauce. The crab dip and calamari are always a table favorite for us. If you decide to order dessert, the cookie is best served for 2 or more people. We love to bring friends and family here, just make sure you save up for the visit. :D"

"My husband and I are new to the area and found this place through OpenTable. We had the NYE Dinner for two which came with salads, an entree and dessert for each. The Beef Wellington was amazing! My husband even had food envy as he ate his crab stuffed flounder which was. The decor seemed a little outdated, but we will definitely come back. The beef Wellington and food presentation was worth it."

"I grew up on a farm with a steady supply for beef, so I balk at having to paying $20 for a steak at Outback, so when I saw the prices of the steaks at Capital City Chophouse I got a little stressed. I got the Cowboy Ribeye and it was worth every penny I paid for it. This was easily the best steak I have ever had. The decor is a little dated, and the food is on the pricey side, but if you're a steak lover, you owe it to yourself to try this place at least once."

"we have been here a few times and really like this place. However we had a 7:30 reservation, got there about 25 minutes early. there were at least 15+ tables open, and the hostess said she could not seat us until our time. so we went ot have a drink and for that entire 25 minutes they sat no other tables!! disappointing"

"Capital City Chophouse is a good place to eat, but on Friday at lunch it was a bit too crowded for my tastes. Consequently the usual stellar service reduced to barely acceptable. The waiter was not attentive, the kitchen was painfully slow, and the experience was not what I am accustomed to here. Holiday dining NOT at its finest I'm afraid. I will go back, just not around the holidays."

"Eating at Capital City Chophouse was okay. Unfortunately, what I recall we're all the negatives. Our table of 4 was sat at a booth which was difficult for a tall member of our party. When I asked to move to a table the staff was annoyed and resisted. They eventually allowed us to move but their attitude and annoyance already came through. Wait staff service was fine and food was okay. The place just feels old and tired. There is also an odor inside the dining room which was off putting."

"Been here several times, enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. This time, the seating was wrong, the service was" just so" and the shrimp was "old". Should have sent it back because I just couldn't eat it. Could smell it as the waiter brought it to the table. It was so noisy, we couldn't hear each other across the table/booth. Will ask to be seated in the library the next time, prefering a quiet atmosphere. My friend had steak and it was "perfection" as usual. I have recommended the restaurant to others but not this time!"

"Steaks were cooked to perfection. Salmon was fresh and delicious. Crab dip appetizer and shrimp cocktail were fantastic. Loved the parmasan scalloped potatoes. Topped off with key lime pie and delicious apple walnut bread pudding. Both were wonderful! Waitress was very attentive without being overbearing. A great night out to celebrate a birthday!"

"The Capital City Chop House has very good quality meat and vegetables. I like to go there for business lunches and dinners because I can always count on good service and good food. It is a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. I recommend it. On this visit one guest's steak was served too rare. He asked to have it cooked more and they brought him another steak cooked perfectly. That's the sign of a good restaurant."
