We finally got to try Capon's and we're so happy we did! I got a pickle martini and it was absolutely delicious, definitely the best I've ever had. We started with the shrimp cocktail and it was so insanely fresh, huge sized pieces and delicious. Then we split a rib eye and mac and cheese/cacio e pepe that was DIVINE. We're already booked to come back next month because it's so delicious and you really get what you pay for. And the best part was the SERVICE. Everyone on the wait staff was so kind and professional, it really felt like an upscale fancy restaurant. Overall I highly recommend and can't wait to try more items! read more

Capons Chophouse - cacio e pepe - American Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Celebrated a family member's birthday there recently and left feeling underwhelmed. The desserts looked amazing but didn't taste as good as they looked. We also all didn't feel well by the time we arrived home - each one of us had upset stomachs. The positives were that the wait staff was attentive, the burgers were tasty,, and the decor lovely. Even with that, I'll have to think twice about dining here again. read more

I recently visited Capon's Chophouse for lunch. This restaurant is beautifully decorated with comfortable booth seating and lots of greenery. The service throughout the meal was very attentive. I appreciated how our waitress checked on us often. My friend and I shared the disco fries, which were truffle fries with cheese and gravy. The waitress poured the gravy on for us, it was quite the presentation. We loved this for a starter; perfect for sharing. Entrees ordered include the blackened mahi sandwich and skirt steak. Both were packed with flavor. We ended our meal with carrot cake for dessert. The sweetest ending to a great meal. The cocktails are also top notch! For lunch, a prix fixe menu is available - 2 entrees for $39. I'd definitely come back again. read more

When I say this is my favorite restaurant right now... I truly mean it! This is the hottest spot in Bergen county to eat or grab a drink currently! From expectational service, exquisite food to their new-age modern ambience. This place is a 100/10. The crowd is of all ages, young and fun, romantic, date night, family vibe, singles ready to mingle. The 5 times I've come to this spot its always popping (basically a line out the door). As soon as you walk in you're ALWAYS greeted by my favorite hostess Tiffany. She's a sweetheart and is so attentive! I have a preference of sitting next to the bar, but not at the bar... I know, I'm annoying LOL. They have these bar top tables, that are my favorite. The assistant GM Angela always greets me as soon as I get in, and literally walks me right to them. Angela always makes sure I get my favorite table, and ensures I'm always making a follow up reservation towards the end of my visit. She's always so accommodating, she is a sweetheart!! When I say the staff is absolutely incredible, I mean it whole heartedly. All of my servers were super attentive and checked in multiple times even on the busiest Fridays! They made sure they were at my service, without even asking. The ambiance is moody, fun, young, and sexy. The lighting is mysterious and toned down, the colors are very earthy, browns and green. I am so obsessed with the lighting in this place, it really sets the vibe. Now last but not least, the FOOD.  So here the my cheat sheet (on what to get). What I order, in this order is the following:  1st- The Tuna Crudo  2nd- The Crispy Rice 3rd- Candied Bacon  4th- Caesar Salad   *This is all appetizers, then the following for our meals.* 5th- Chophouse Burger w. Disco Fries 6th- Chicken parm  7th- Onion rings Last but not least I ALWAYS get the mezcal mules, my girls get the lechee martinis. I hope you guys love this place as much as I do! It's giving NYC restaurant, but in NJ! read more

A few months in and kicking on all cylinders! Ambiance and service as good as week one and zero disappointments as you work your way through the menu. The fritto misto appetizer is a must and the prime dry aged NY strip is the best iteration of this cut to be had in the Tri-State area. Will be back for more! read more

a vibe***** firstly everyone is so nice. which is important to us. we arrived early and were seated promptly on a Friday night. we were overwhelmed with the choices for apps as we loved the idea of all they had to offer.. we started with the frito misto, was delightful finding some fried shrimpies in there. we then ordered the lamb chop appy, octopus, chicken parm, filet, truffle fries, mashed potatoes and spinach. all amazing! the spinach was just outstanding! for dessert we enjoyed the banana split. the hype is worth it. definitely give this place a whirl ! Mikayla was outstanding ! will be back read more

Came for lunch with family around 2 and it was still quite busy inside, especially at the bar area. Inside is very beautifully decorated, with a nice Christmas tree up front which helped distract the kiddo for a bit. Service was exceptional, able to handle my sneaky credit card give at the beginning of the meal, thank you both to our hostess and server! :) Tried the chop burger..wow, outstanding. Fries were delectable. The side salad is more of a frissé which I think I would pass on next time and could use more dressing, but honestly that's the only thing to quip about. Candied bacon and onion rings to start were very good too. Pumpkin old fashioned is a must try if youre into OF's. Also outstanding. Sure a little pricey but had a great experience. read more

This review is just for drinks. They premix almost all the drinks on their menu, leaving some flavors being overpowering. At 22 dollars I felt that a freshly mixed drink would be nice.

Capons Chophouse is fairly new and fits perfectly in my wheelhouse. Had to come. Once we entered we were welcomed by the hostess and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Quickly seated in a beautiful corner booth. The lights are dim, but it's not dark. It has a high end typical steakhouse feel to it, but not overdone. It was decorated just right. This was an anniversary dinner and when we sat down there was a card on the table for us from the restaurant. Unreal. What a nice gesture. Our server Makayla was welcoming and we started off with cocktails: Pumpkin spiced old fashioned- beautiful looking cocktail. Tasted amazing, it has a bite with that Elijah Craig bourbon. Slightly dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives- made just right. For appetizers: Bread service- the foccacia bread had such a beautiful crisp to it, that when you cut it with the knife, it snapped like a chip. That paired the inside of a cloud. Perfection. The ricotta and hot honey spread didn't stand a chance. Mopped up everything. The Caesar- well seasoned with a good portion of dressing. Not too much where it's soggy, but enough to coat all of the pieces just right. Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna- very light and nice. It was a refreshing take. It's like a puffed rice cake with spicy tuna on top. Lamb Chop Lollipops- amazing. Tender, juicy and packed full of flavor. I do feel there was an excessive amount of oil in the chimichurri. The lamb was sitting in a pool of oil. Just dabbed that off and it was good to go. I paired the Etna Rosso red wine with the apps. *This is how wine should be brought to the table. I ordered by the glass. You should still bring the bottle out for me to see before pouring. Not only did this happen, I got to taste it as well. Most places only do this when you get the bottle. The plate clearing was impeccable. Maybe an empty plate sat for 30 seconds before it was taken away. Entree- 20 ounce Chateaubriand med rare - beautifully cooked. The crust on this was insanely good. Sides: Charred broccolini - perfectly cooked broccoli with amazing seasoning. Loaded whipped potatoes- fluffy and airy. Beautiful Brussel sprouts with Bacon- I feel that this one was a little too sauced up. The glaze was a lot on there. It drowned out the brussel sprouts too much. Little less in my opinion and it would've been perfect. It took away from the crispness of the brussel sprouts. Bacon pieces were fire. I just picked those out and ate those. This was the only food we didn't finish here. I paired the Cabernet, Beckmen with the Entree. Crumbing was done in between courses. Amazing. Dessert: The carrot cake was recommended by the manager Ana. It was HUGE! And soo good. We both couldn't stop eating it. They comped the dessert which was extremely nice and not expected. That paired perfectly with espresso martinis. 3 beans. Amazing foam, beautiful. I got 2 of them, because I was vibing. The music is upbeat and its a playlist for everyone. Everything, from the staff/ service, the quality food, paired with above and beyond touches, makes this place amazing. Would highly recommend. read more

Went for my daughter graduation celebration. We arrived around 12:30ish and immediately was seated. The service was swift and on point. We ordered the calamari,shrimp, zucchini and grilled octopus to start. My daughter got the steak and fries. A breaded chicken was made for my son with fried. I got the branzino and my husband got the smash burger. The food was delicious!!!!!! The only thing that wasn't good was the creamed spinach. I felt bad to complain so, I didn't but everything was really good. I'll be back. read more

This restaurant is in the old LT space. Similar ambiance. We did walk in without a reservation. Was told a table would not be available till closer to the end of the night which was closer to 9-9:30; yet there were several tables that were open for quite a bit while we were at the bar. Was told that reservations were full but bar is first come first serve. There were 2 seats that were available but then were told they were "reserved for VIP". Interesting that was originally told the bar was first come first serve but yet they were reserving spots; gives the impression that only select customers are "important" to them. Okay fine! The crowd was mixed for a Saturday night. From younger geographic to an older crowd. We finally got seats. Our bartender was James & he was phenomenal! If you get him.. you're in great hands. That was the best part of this experience. The food was okay. It wasn't anything "special". We ordered "Little Lettuce Lobster Lettuce Wraps" and it definitely lives up to that name; "little"! The shrimp cocktail looks fancy but just average shrimp cocktail. The Market Salad was refreshing. It had a nice miso-orange dressing that was tasty. I ordered a Moscow Mule and was disappointed they didn't have the normal copper mug for it. Not usually typical to have a Moscow mule out of a normal glass, but okay! It was interesting to even be able to hear the waitstaff bickering in front of the customers. At one point (it's believe to be one of the managers) was telling another one of their employees "idk who they think they are.. I'm their boss" - not so very professional to be having such conversations near the customers. I went to this place. Experienced it, but won't be returning. read more

Can not speak more highly of this gem of a Jersey spot. Top to bottom this place has its act together. Food was phenomenal and the service was all over us like a cornerback on a wide receiver (in a good way). The chef has a turbo personality and made sure to check on us at our table which always makes you feel like a VIP even if you are just a regular IP. Can't wait to go back. read more

If you like steak, this is your spot. Burger was also pretty good. Fries are always overcooked which sucks. Service was on point but pushy with alcoholic drinks. I would go back for the burger and steaks. read more

I'd give Capon's 5 stars for effort. Great hospitality, fun place. Food was good starting with bread service which was decadently delicious. I ordered a burger which was juicy and decent. My wife's shrimp dish was delicious and one of the best shrimp she can remember having anywhere. Chicken parm was only ok. Cocktail pour was cheap for each of our 4 drinks. Pricey, but not surprised. read more

Service & Food is 1st Class. Tried a few of the appys as well as the focaccia bread. Pork Chop and Filet. "Glazed" Brussels Sprouts (W Bacon) and Napa Cab. The Focaccia Bread Appy was something different; well seasoned, crisp and served w (honey) and ricotta on the side. The chops like butter. Perfectly cooked. Nice. That sums it up outside of - Just Go. read more

Unexpectedly went here for dinner and it was exceptional. The decor alone is gorgeous, it feels very high end and is very aesthetically pleasing. From the bartenders to the wait staff and servers, it feels like you are at a Michelin star establishment. I went in not knowing anything outside of TikTok reviewed and having visited a few chophouses, I knew what to expect but the food and drinks here are all standouts! The seafood is fresh, the steak is perfectly cooked and everything from the cocktails, to the apps, to dessert is delicious and decadent. Come hungry. You're going to want it ALL. Also - Truffle Oil Disco Fries?! Honey. read more

Let me start off by saying I live in the city and I've been to almost every single NYC steakhouse you could name. I was excited when this opened in Hackensack because it brings the class and reputation of the city to NJ, right near where my dad lives. So we went for his birthday. The place is very nice. Brown leather banquettes. Black marble style tables...everything you'd expect a steakhouse to be, in terms of design at least. Servers were friendly and attentive. Now for the negative.... We went for lunch so I understand the lunch menu is usually more limited. But when I asked for mashed potatoes with our $185 tomahawk steak...not available. The celery root puree which was available with the salmon we ordered, and was so good, we were denied when we asked if we could order more of that (of course I would pay extra). I mean, come on. It's a steakhouse. There was no starch available for lunch except French fries. I'm not a child and I don't want fries with my $185 tomahawk. Now, for the steak. I was underwhelmed by the size of the tomahawk. It seemed a bit smaller than other tomahawks I've had. It was also cold and served on an ice cold plate. I was missing the sizzling hot steak plate from Luger's. The steak was cooked to a nice med rare as requested, but the outer part of the steak lacked that crisp char-grilled flavor. Like it was just roasted without a sear or broil on high heat. Then when we ordered dessert, we selected the banana split sundae, which was on the menu they gave to us, and they also said it's not available for lunch. Why give me a menu which had a dessert I was specifically looking forward to before I even arrived, and then tell me I can't have it at lunch time. If that's the case, take it off your menu! But since it was their mistake and they showed that menu to me, I feel they should've accommodated us. Anyways, I was a little disappointed at our $600+ lunch for my dad's birthday. I'd expect a little more attention to detail, more selection (even with lunch), and for them to be more willing to accommodate customers. Capon has a good reputation, but for his name being on the front of the building, I'd expect more. For g*d sakes we're paying NYC prices at a mall restaurant. They should be happy we made the trip out, when we could've gone to any other steakhouse in the city. read more

Let me start by saying Chef Capon walking around to every table and mingling with everyone was awesome. He even sang happy birthday to my wife. Jonah was our server and he was awesome as well. The place is beautiful but honestly very loud. The menu is packed with stuff you'd want to try, albeit a bit pricey. One thing I must say is the food comes out very fast almost too fast. On a Monday night we had all apps and entree and dessert out within an hour. So a bit rushed. However, the place is worth a try for sure. read more

Late post: Had visited Capon's for a late Valentine's Day dinner in February. We made the reservation in advance and upon arrival we were seated right away. The hostesses offered to take our jackets which was a nice offer. We started with drinks and an appetizer. We got an old fashioned, espresso martini, and some calamari. The drinks were excellent! The calamari was fresh and served with some fried peppers and dipping sauces of a marinara and a mayo. For the entree we ordered the tomahawk with onion rings, fries, and broccolini. The tomahawk was cooked perfectly and super tender and literally melts in your mouth. The onion rings and fries were super crisp and the broccolini was sautéed with garlic. Everything was delicious! Overall it was a great meal! Service was excellent as the servers and managers checked up on everyone. The restaurant has a nice romantic aesthetic and plenty of seating. I def recommend making a reservation in advance. I will def visit again. read more

I have been here 3 times since they opened. First for just drinks, then just drinks and apps at a table and thirdly, for the full dinner experience. Every time has been better than the last. The girls in the front are literally the sweetest. Emily & Amanda greeted with smiles & all have checked in on us while at the table. So much so, upon leaving told them how nice it was to see genuine smiles on peoples faces. It was my friend's birthday & they even wrote out a card that was waiting on the table. Chef Josh was making his rounds and taking pictures & it's so nice to see an owner so hands on. He even sliced & plates our meal. Nice touch, chef. Everything was phenomenal. I can't wait to go for lunch! Ps. GET the Brussels & save room for dessert. Thank me later. read more

2/10 - Extremely Disappointing Experience Capone's Chophouse is overpriced with terrible service. We sat at the bar for over an hour and a half with three bartenders, yet had to repeatedly ask for our second and third drinks. Staff was attentive to everyone around us, but we were clearly ignored, which made us feel unwelcome. I was never offered a menu, despite being hungry. We spent $200 on drinks that were pre-made, not fresh. When I asked for a fresh drink, I was told, "This is how we do things here." Completely unacceptable especially for a restaurant at this price point. The drinks weren't even good and left me with a headache the next morning. The lack of hospitality was obvious from the moment we walked in. One person greeted us, while others looked at us with visible dissatisfaction. The only time service improved was after staff overheard me mention completing a survey then suddenly they were eager to help. I've dined at far better establishments. This experience missed the mark from start to finish. We left and went elsewhere to actually enjoy our night. Not worth the money! read more

I don't want to come off as too much of a fanboy, but Josh Capon and his team have freaking nailed it. Deserves more than five stars. Atmosphere of a high end NYC steakhouse, yet super comfortable. Amazing service. Shout out to Jesse, our server. Ask for him. It's really all about the food though. From the focaccia with whipped ricotta to the crispy rice tuna, to the perfectly prepared NY Strip....and don't sleep on the tiramisu. Outstanding and the best place we could have chosen to celebrate our anniversary read more

Dinner at Capon's Chophouse was outstanding. The service was attentive and polished from start to finish. The steak was cooked absolutely perfectly for my taste- tender, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for at a great steakhouse. The disco truffle fries were off the hook: crispy, aromatic, finished table side and impossible to stop eating. We also started with oysters that were plump, incredibly fresh, and beautifully briny. It's definitely on the expensive side, but the quality of the food and service makes it feel like a special-occasion spot. My only small complaint was that the music was a bit too loud for an otherwise elegant dining experience. Overall, a fantastic meal and a place I'd gladly return to. read more

The space immediately pulls you in -- a perfect balance of modern design and classic steakhouse warmth. It has that effortless energy where you know you're in for a proper dining experience. The steak absolutely delivers. Rich, flavorful, and cooked with precision -- the kind of quality that stands on its own without needing much else. The sear, the texture, the depth of flavor... everything felt intentional and well executed. What really stood out was the overall consistency across the table. Every dish felt cohesive, from the sides to the presentation -- nothing felt like an afterthought. Even the smallest details were done right. The atmosphere carries the night just as much as the food. It's lively without being overwhelming, making it just as good for a date as it is for a night out. A place that understands its identity and executes it well. Definitely one I'd come back to ! read more

This place is fantastic, great energy, great service & great food. Top notch experience. My second time here and the food was better than my last visit! I never and I mean ever order steak. I feel like I make a great steak. (I know what you're thinking! But you haven't had my steak). This is one of the only places I will order steak. Chef Capon can make steak better than most. The menu offers a diversity of cuts, but also other yummy things. If you are not a steak person, there are plenty of other things to get. Service was amazing! The staff wanted to be there. Nothing beats a motivated waiter at a place like this. Get reservations! It's the best way to make sure you get a table. This place is always crowded and for good reason! read more

Placed was booked solid but we were able to snag bar seats. Super busy for only being open 2 weeks. Bartender was helpful & knowledgeable about the dishes. Always a good sign. She made suggestions after answering our questions. We had the dressed west coat oysters at her suggestions...delicious!! Next we had the market salad. Tasty & crunchy. Get it, you will not be disappointed. We had the ribeye medium rare, cooked perfectly & not too fatty. Added au poivre sauce, yum! The spinach was ok but the broccolini....I could have eaten just that and left happy. If the quality of the food stays consistent, this place will do very well. We agreed we will be back. Plus we knew the sommelier from previous wine tastings....always great to see familiar faces. read more

Don't waste your money. Went with my family and the food was very mediocre. Highly charred. The portion for the bronzino was about 4 ounces for $38.

From the moment you walk in, the staff goes above and beyond to meet your needs, making you feel an immediate sense of warmth and welcome that's rare to find.

Had a reservation at 7:00. Sat for 15 minutes before even getting water another 15 to order a drink. Finally got drinks and for a $25 glass of wine the pour was very minimal much less than most places despite expensive price tag. Ordered bread service for $15 which was just ok, Other apps were bacon and crispy rice with caviar... bacon ok crispy rice best bite of the night but expensive, Dinner order a rib eye cap, filet and pork chop, Filet dry, overcooked, and tough and served pre sliced? Pork chop was very good and rib eye good. Sides were ok. Wine by the glass was a joke so for second glass ordered a bottle which is a much better value but one guest had to switch from white to red. Sat with dirty plates in front of us for 30 minutes. Service was horrible and ladies room was disgusting for a fine dining restaurant. This for me was a one and done at a whopping $500 price tag. read more

This is our first visit to this new restaurant. Depending on where you sit in the restaurant, it was either romantic or trendy. The menu was limited, but very creative.

They serve every course with such care and pride that you truly feel like a valued guest, not just another table. Their warmth and attention make the entire experience feel special and personal.As for the food? Outstanding. The rib cap is second to none--perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and easily one of the best I've ever had. The sticky rice options are pure comfort food done at the highest level, rich, satisfying, and deeply craveable. Every bite was memorable. We ended the night with their banana split, another beautiful nod to comfort food that brought the perfect sweet finish to an already stellar meal.In a time when everywhere feels expensive these days, Capons Chophouse is absolutely worth every dollar. You're paying for exceptional quality, warm hospitality, and an experience that makes you feel genuinely special from start to finish.Capons Chophouse masterfully combines comfort and elegance with impeccable service and world-class food.
