You can not go wrong with Capers. It's not expensive and the good is so good! My favorite is the French onion soup and a large margarita . I normally try to avoid weekends because they are so busy and the wait is so long.the inside is the prettiest but the food is where it is at read more

I miss Caper's. When are they reopening? The food was great and I always enjoyed my meal.

Tasty Delmonico with sautéed mushrooms. Broccoli is frozen so it's a hard no. Wish I would've selected a different or another side and very bland. Sat at the bar with friendly staff and good music. Reasonably priced Steak is a must! Eastside Gem. read more

This little joint is a good spot for nice bite comfort food. There are a variety of options on the menu and a steady but increased flow of cutomers. There were groups and individual customers. Our group had two fried catfish meals, two Philly Cheese Steaks, and Turkey Club. The standard sides range from fries, coleslaw to veggies. The portions are better than most places that squeeze to the smallest portions possible. With that being written, we have a new spot to get our catfish on. Skip the coffee though...lol. Also, nice and professional service. read more

I took someone to Capers for their birthday and it was profoundly disappointing experience. First of all the server was really rude and wouldn't even look me in the face. I ordered Delmonico steak, baked potato and a $15 drink that was watered down. My steak was tough and overcooked, even though I asked for it to be cooked medium rare. The baked potato tasted like it had been sitting all day in heating bin. Save your money and grill a steak at home. The food here is awful and the service is really bad too. read more

So sad that they are seemingly stuck in the renovation from Hell itself. I have loved this east side joint for years. Great food, great service. The decor isnt the attraction here, it's the food and the people. Shout out to the T-bone special and the baked potatoes. I love this place and hope it comes back thriving. The community is without you!! read more

Best Steaks in North East Detroit (Eastpointe)... unfortunately many times come cold to your table, but still has an amazing flavor...also they stopped being open at night...so, we bever can go there anymore read more

the The service has declined tremendously. I specifically asked for fresh bread & potatoes and it was hard and cold. The food (salmon, veggies & potatoes) was served on a tray instead of a plate. Extremely disappointed. Bring the old owners back. HURRY! read more

Great Delmonicos! The flavor never fails for me. I also order ahead and when I arrive for pickup, my order is hot and ready. One time, I did dine in with my bestie. We sat at the bar top and we had a good time. The lighting is not too bright, the drinks were good and strong. Bestie and I had a nice conversation over great food and drinks! read more

very good service with experienced servers decent food with great selection and a very nice salad bar private parking in a medium area not far the faint of heart i went there with two guy friends huge drinks very reasonable prices for the amount they serve they have generous portions but you pay by the ounce for your steak for medium quality it reminded me of old school 70s restaurant that was considered high end back then read more

A Detroit staple! Whether you're getting carry-out or dining in (I've done both) you're sure to get the best steak you've ever tasted.

Can you say steak by the ounce?! Located on Gratiot just south of 8 Mile Rd., Capers has been a neighborhood favorite for years. The space is kind of small and the tables are packed in tight so you can expect to get pretty cozy with the patrons next to you. The area is complete with a full service bar and a salad bar in the back. There is often a wait and they don't take reservations but the food and the prices make it worth it. In addition to the chicken, seafood and pasta entrees they offer huge baked potatoes that can be loaded up how you please. And they are most known for their Cuts of Delmonico (or rib-eye), New York Strip, T-Bone, and Filet Mignon steak by the ounce. So you can order the cut to match your appetite. On most weekdays certain cuts are on special for a discount. My favorite is Friday when there is a cod fish fry which can also be prepared broiled. Add a few of the a la carte jumbo shrimp and you have a winner of a combo. Service is friendly but sometimes drags a little but I chalked it up to how utterly busy the place is always with every table full. One thing can be said and that is that everyone is usually laughing and enjoying themselves which is the general ambiance of the spot. If you want friendly serve, good prices and yummy food check them out. read more

I miss this place, I used to go here with my mom all the time. This was her favorite place to get steak and a baked potato. Nice people and nice service. 10/10. read more

I order a porterhouse steak with coconut shrimp and mash potatoes and they were delicious!! Would have given 5 stars if my steak was medium rare but it was medium which I know is a challenge for this restaurant. But the flavor was awesome!! read more

The absolute best meal I had in Detroit!! My friends took me here with the tantalizing suggestion of "we know a great place that serves steak by the oz" and I was not disappointed. Not only is Capers a legit and unpretentious steakhouse, with a super sweet and accommodating staff plus a great little bird cartoon logo that feels as out of time as its decor, but its prices are outrageously affordable! I ordered a 10oz Delmonico steak (which is on special on Sundays) and let me tell you: this thing was huge and cooked absolutely perfectly medium-rare. It was DELICIOUS. I can't even tell you how good this steak was. It also cost me a mere $9, which is insane in comparison to the high quality and excellent taste of this excellent steak that was wider than my head!!! As a side I ordered a "handful of fries" which was equally perfectly portioned (a handful is all anybody needs of fries), delicious tasting and frickin' a $1.25. Amen!!!! My friends ordered other styles of steak, which were similarly cooked fantastically, and some of those huuuuge baked potatoes which looked delicious. All in all, an insanely fun and affordable meal. Capers legit made me wish I lived in Detroit. Keep on, Capers! I love you. read more

Honestly, I used to come here for the Monday T-Bone special. Where else can you get a 27 oz steak from a steakhouse for under $40? Usually it's like 30 something dollars and you'll be all set! The steaks come out just like you asked them to, the sides are always good and super big. If you get a potato, expected to feed two people possibly. The worst part about going is waiting at the door to get seated. But I get that because sometimes you just have to make sure you actually have seats for everybody trying to enjoy the same food. I only say that because it's not really any space to wait and you have to sit there, or stand there, and the doorway. But once you sit down you're great! And don't even give me started on the drinks lol! If you don't watch yourself you may be feeling extra good because of those! But this is a HomeTown favor for me. I wish they had one in the city that I'm at now. For the price, you're definitely winning! read more

I went to Capers before the pandemic. The quality of the food was great, you could order your meat by the ounce, select the doneness, the baked potatoes were jumbo size, and they had a small salad bar. It gets pretty crowded towards the evenings and weekends. I'd recommend going there to eat with friends if you're a carnivore and love your meats. read more

The best steakhouse in the D hands downs I love it every time I come home it goes down read more

Overall a good experience. Capers was pretty busy so there was a bit of a wait, but the wait was worth it. I ordered the 20 oz delmonico medium it was cooked good and tasted great. My wife ordered the 10 oz filet and she said it was good. The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. The price was not bad at all. The atmosphere was good to. I will be back. read more

I had one of the best steaks of my life at Capers. It's not much to look at from the outside, and hell, the same goes for the inside. But the steaks. My god. The steaks. You just can't find better quality steaks within $15 of what you'll pay here. As someone else mentioned, this isn't a fancy place. There were only two servers on a busy Saturday afternoon with a line out the door. But what they do in the kitchen, they do very well. We started with two crocks of French onion soup. Excellent, with plenty of cheese. We each ordered a steak - a Delmonico for me and a fillet for him. Jacob also ordered their macaroni salad as a side. We didn't wait long for our entrees. Our steaks were prepared just as we asked and were expertly seasoned. The macaroni side was boring, so I'd skip it next time. I savored every bite of my steak, though, and Jacob did as well. Our bill was only $34 for two big steaks, two crocks of tasty soup, some garlic bread and macaroni salad. I think Capers is a fine establishment with a good thing going on. Everyone should visit at least once in their life. I can't wait to go back. read more

It had been almost 20 years since had visited! I used to live in the area, but after I moved, I tended to eat near my new home. This recent visit was just as enjoyable as all of my previous visits. Steak by the ounce, just the way it used to be. To be fair to all of my vegetarian, vegan and other friends who don't eat meat, they have a salad bar here. I saw it on the menu. I did not actually *see* the salad bar, but I trust that they have one. And nothing against Capers, but if you are into salads, Golden Corral might be a better choice for you. Okay, so on to my evening meal ... I grabbed a friend and off we went. We arrived just as the person parked in the lot next to the front door was leaving. We walked in, no waiting and we're promptly seated at the first table. Not the best seat in the house, but it served the purpose. Our waitress came by shortly thereafter and took drink orders. I had unsweetened tea, which I think comes with refills. They also have bottled sweet tea and lemonade, etc. Those are not free refills for obvious reasons. Once the drinks arrived, our waitress took our orders. We both ordered Delmonico's and loaded baked potato, with slight variations. My slight variation was sautéed onions and mushrooms. I also opted for the 'liquid cheese' offered as a topping on my baked potato. I am by no means a potato aficionado. It tasted good, I was happy. Just as the words came out of my mouth that perhaps we should have ordered an appetizer, the dinners arrived. They were cooked to perfection. At that point, anyone who knows me well realizes that conversation with me will cease. I have a task at hand and there is no time for talk. I look forward to the next time I visit, and I am pretty sure it won't be years from now.... read more

This is an ok place to grab a bite. The inside needs updating, but I can say their steaks are good and their loaded potatoes hits the spot. They do get a lot of customers on the weekends, so you might have to order your food in advance read more

Best steaks in the city! Waitresses are so nice and friendly. Drinks are fixed to perfection

I had ordered potato, skins and coconut shrimp, the coconut shrimp was not done, it was raw and the batter under the crust was not even done. It was all milky. read more

Steak, steak and more steak!!! I have lived in Detroit my while life but I have to confess...today was my first time ever going to Caper's. Blame on the fact that I'm more of a westside if the city kinda girl! Me and husband was on this side of town on a Sunday afternoon and I said hey let's go check it since we are so close. Now my husband does not eat pork or red meat but I live for it! After checking out a few reviews here I had a good idea on what to expect so I felt like I was prepared. I was happy to see that they have a nice very newly paced secures parking lot with a great parking attendant. Once inside I was very surprised at how intimate it was...I was really expecting some large open dining area so I wouldn't end up jabbing the person next to me while cutting my steak. Well we were immediately seated after the lady in front of us finished complaining about having to wait for the remainder of her party before being able to be seated(I thought most restaurants do that). Anywho we were seated close to the bar where carry out orders are done and picked up. Yeap, exactly what you are thinking we ended up having unwanted conversations with people picking up their food. They really should come up with a better spot, how I don't know considering it is quite small on the inside. Well our waitress was very pleasant and offered us the various specials for the day which I really loved. She was very attentive and apologized when something was overlooked which was not much. I ordered a t-bone with a baked potato and the salad bar one trip. My husband ordered the NY York sandwich but was disappointed when the waitress came back to say that they didn't have anymore cole slaw. So he opted to get the turkey club sandwich which was still very good with some onion rings and we also had the jumbo shrimp. All of our food was good, not excellent but good. Oh, my husband a large glass of beer and I had a watermelon margarita. Yes I would go back!! read more

Have been going there for years, and ever since Covid it has gone down hill. Went on Friday May 5th, and that will be the very last time. Took over 30 minutes just to order, and then Nothing came out together except the soup. First my daughters food, then mine, then my wife's and finally my son's. My wife's steak was and tasted spoiled. Told the manager, he apologized and said that he would bring out a new one. When the second steak came out, it was spoiled as well. Just left it uneaten and asked for the check. Again will never go back again. read more

I placed an order via Doordash and items were missing from the order when it arrived. The rude person I spoke with insisted the items were in the bag. Her option was for me to pick up items I'd paid for delivery for while the rest of my meal got cold. Wrong answer. Who would waste their time calling if their order was correct? Not only was the person rude, she hung up on me. So, I called Doordash who paid to replace the order. Thank you Doordash. I don't know the name of the person managing Doordash orders tonight (Sunday - November 15th) but if she worked for me she'd at minimum be written up for hanging up on a customer. The tag on the first order clearly reads "1 bag" but the corrected order was delivered in two bags. And it was only to replace the two of three items ordered. So obviously, the first order was wrong. If you're going to be nasty to a customer, please make sure you're right first! read more

The food and drinks were delish..date night with Hubby..win/win..will stop by again..Service was quick and precise..

Capers can never do any wrong, as far as I'm concerned! I've never had a bad experience, nor ordered a food item that I've never liked. Now, I have to be honest, I've not a big time steak eater at all. And in the past, I've actually ordered other items, except for a steak. I always order the Fried Cauliflower any time I got to Capers. Also, I've ordered the Baked Potatoes; Loaded, or Just with the shredded cheese and sour cream. I've ordered the Lamb Chops. And even dessert. Well, and drinks. So again, I've always been pleased with the food at Capers. I went last night, as I hadn't been in a few years. Drinks were very good; and strong. I ordered the Peach Martini, as that was their $5.00 special for the day. I also ordered Fried Cauliflower, 10 oz Steak Bites (which were delicious), and a Baked Potato with Shredded Cheddar Cheese. I will continue to dine at Capers, that's just a given! read more

The food is delicious. But the place is very small inside. I order a 12 oz steak and a cheese potato. The potatoes are huge. The bathroom is in a very weird spot. It's right next to the kitchen. I will most likely return here. I will avoid coming late. It was very packed when I went. read more

This was about my 4th or 5th time back at capers. We went Sunday afternoon right at opening (3pm) there was a line of about 35 people. The food Is good and priced really nice for steak( 85 cents an ounce Delmonico) . I've been here a few times and I would say 90% of the time they cook your steak perfectly. Coming exactly at opening and being in the back of the line, we were seated very quickly but of course the staff was slammed all at once so it took about 2 hours to get steaks. Normally service is a lot quicker and the staff is really nice. The drinks are also great and they aren't stingy on the libation. They also have a very small and simple but very very good salad bar (all you can eat). My only issue with this visit was what I saw with the salad bar. The bottom of the bar is refrigerated and this is where they keep back up supplies for the salad bar I witnessed someone re-stocking the underneath refrigerator and they openly sneezed directly into it and then shut the door. I did notice that that all of the items are packaged however it was still very offputting and disgusting to see. read more
