Don't be thrown off by the worn look of the place, the friendliness of the staff and the price of an unbelievably large breakfast will have u looking at your well used coffee cup with a smile. The place stayed busy while we were there, but the staff was hustling so was seated, order taken, coffee drinking pretty quickly and food was brought out fast & hot. We did the pick 4 and I have to say it was way more than expected for the price. It was actually more than I could eat (that is saying a lot), my wife even shared my pancakes & took hers home. Everything was good, I added pepper to my eggs, hashbrowns & biscuits, I appreciate being able to add seasoning, opposed to too much-my u can add, but cannot take away philosophy. Everything was exactly as ordered, wife likes crispy and it was brought out just like she wanted. Coffee stayed full, and we walked out stuffed. Wife says she found her new spot for breakfast. read more

Friendly local breakfast place. A little bit hold in the wall, but friendly service and good food!

Good service, dive location/place. For being open since 2016 it looks like it's been here for 50 yrs without any updates. The food was decent. The portions are ginormous. It's a big person's dream. read more

Went here a while ago. Found a hair in my food that definitely not mine has it was a very short BLACK curly hair.

I've been here twice before (years apart). Have been seeing rave reviews for their chicken fried steak, so decided to give it a go. I have zero issues with the staff, overall cleanliness, the eggs, home fries or even toast. All were great. However, zero stars for what passes as chicken fried steak. Maybe they have a new cook, but it was inedible!! No breading, just coated in flour that didn't adhere to the meat and broke off in chunks after frying. Zero seasoning and tough as a boot. Could barely swallow my first and only bite after lots a chewing. Also, coffee is still the weakest in town. I would return but will never order the CFS or coffee. read more

Cappy's is a traditional, 60's era diner that will continue to carry on for years to come. The food is good and the prices are excellent. This is a place you will want to bring your kids for a diner experience that will not break the bank. Why even think of Denny's when there is the likes of Cappy's. I'm not a particular fan of chicken fried steak, but I've read so much about Cappy's rendition that I tried it on my first visit. It was HUGE. And it was pretty good, too, which is a complement since I don't care for chicken fried steak to begin with. I could only eat 2/3 of it. So big. The gravy is tasty and plentiful and the breading to meat ratio is right on. Today I had the Monday-Friday special. You choose four items for $7.69. I got a Keto-unfriendly breakfast of ham, hash browns, 4 pancakes, and biscuit an gravy LOL. Yum! The pancakes were good as were the hash browns, and the biscuit was large and fluffy and the gravy was very good. Yes, I took a take home box. Try them out. Tucson has some good diners and this is one of them. I'll be back another time to try their lunch menu. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

Visited the area and searched for a locally owned breakfast type spot instead of a chain. This one looked right in the app and I was not disappointed. Got there at 9:00 Sunday morning and the place was packed - always a good sign. Breakfast was perfect and quite plentiful - and the prices were very fair in today's post Covid world. Service was good also. If you like family owned type of places this fits the bill. Recommended. read more

Unbelievable service and unbelievable food. Everything was amazing, hot and fast. Couldn't ask for better staff and any restaurant. What a friendly wonderful place. read more

Met a friend for breakfast on a Sunday. As busy as you would expect for a weekend breakfast. Food was good, came out fast and hot. Staff was quick and so nice. Only gripe is the seating in the back of the restaurant is very loud because it's close to the kitchen. We were right next to the door to the kitchen and had to repeat ourselves a lot and couldn't hear each other. Lots of clanking dishes and silverware being tossed. read more

Cappy's is a small ma and pa cafe in a strip mall, but with good food, nice staff and a large menu. We have been several times now and each time it is consistent. The staff are helpful and provide great service, attentive with drink refills and available for questions even when very busy. The food is classic dinner with a Tucson twist. They have several Mexican options alongside classic likes waffles and biscuits and gravy. Everything we have tried from the chicken friend steak and biscuits with graveyard to the Mexican burro and eggs with hasbrowns have all been good home cooking. The food is solid with good seasoning and salsa options tonspice it up. The portions are huge and we always have to take food home. Depending on the dish we think they all range between a 3-4 in flavor but the portion size, low price and great service consistently make it a four for us. If you are looking for a classic Tucson dinner Cappy's is one you should try. read more

10/10 food was amazing pancakes as soft as clouds I definitely left with a full belly

The service here was wonderful! The food though? Well that could definitely use some help. The CFS was very chewy and the pancakes taste old? Which is weird cause as a diner type place we saw that they were making stuff as they ordered it. Maybe they stayed too long under the hot lights but they weren't as good as expected. Also their tamales weren't yet fully cooked since the masa was very mushy which sucked cause their flavor was good but the consistency was something I just couldn't get past in order to finish them. We are looking forward to try it again since it has such amazing commendations so we will see if I get to change the review. Once again tho the service was amazing and the ladies there are super nice. read more

if you love a good mom n' pop breakfast spot, then you will love Cappy's! I found this place by the great Yelp reviews, and I knew I had to give it a try. They offer breakfast specials and traditional breakfast/brunch at very affordable prices. The meals are made just like a classic, nice home cooked meal - nothing fancy but always delicious. The chicken fried steak was delicious, and my kids loved their pancakes! Service was great and our food came out quick and hot. Definitely a little spot to try out for some tasty breakfast classics. My family and I were certainly satisfied! read more

It's not a fancy place but the food is wonderful! We were in the area and looking for a breakfast place and this place had some good reviews. Other reviews noted there could be a wait but I thought on a Monday at 10 there wouldn't be - wrong. The place was full but the wait was short. The food was well worth waiting for. I had the loaded hash browns. I don't know exactly how they make hash browns taste this good. It was amazing. We also had pancakes which were some of the best I have ever had. The only problem with this place is that it is too far from my house to go often. :( read more

Perfect! I loved the fast attentive service from Leslie who was rushing with the other ladies to miraculously take care of every customer's needs without being asked. They definitely know their customers. But what really makes a great restaurant is the food. And Cappy's doesn't disappoint. read more

Top notch fresh and hot! Best breakfast cafe in Tucson, and it's daily specials are a lot of comfort (& food) for the price! Best pancakes in the area IMHO. CAPPY's is now my go-to breakfast cafe ... it's great they're open early too! read more

Breakfast can be a bit tough on a Sunday morning; the first place we went had a huge line, the second place said they had a 25-30 minute wait. We called here and were pleasantly surprised when they said they had no wait. The service was pretty spot on, they kept the coffee cup full We all ordered something different, unfortunately everyone was so hungry, I could only get a photo of mine. Would definitely go here again if in the area. read more

We came here on a Friday morning about 9:00 am, and they were STILL busy! Good sign that good food was on its way. Super clean, friendly staff, awesome food! Blueberry pancakes were loaded with fruit, and the buttermilk batter tasted great! The chorizo omelette was flavorful, not greasy, and would order it again. Not fancy, but the food and the people are what matter!! All in all, a very positive experience!! I saw chilaquiles on some other tables, and I think I will order those next visit. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Delightfully friendly staff and great service. The location is in a basic shopping mall and this place is not fancy. The food is quite good and they've come up with some really unique items artfully influenced by local Southwest flavors. Overall a super good breakfast. read more

Food was good. Coffee hot. Under staffed for a Sunday morning (2 servers and a line waiting to get in) but super friendly. There was a regular who sat by the door and yelled back to the servers more than once, that was the only negative part. read more

Food was delicious!! I ordered the chorizo and eggs! Yum-o!! Will definitely have to go back and try other dishes.

Friendly people and the food was delicious, more for your money. The food price was affordable.

A small hole in the wall diner that is well worth the stop. Although it doesn't look like much Cappys packs all the flavor you want in either a classic American breakfast or Mexican breakfast options to satisfy anybody. My grandfather and I have been regulars here for a while now and I have to say never disappointed. The service is always fast and friendly and the food is always on point. Definitely stop by for a great inexpensive meal. read more

Great little restaurant in a strip mall. Service was friendly and attentive and overall atmosphere was what you'd want from a local neighborhood diner. The portions were generous and delicious. Ordered the chicken fried steak which was huge if a little on the dry side but the gravy more than made up for it as did the biscuit. read more

I was visiting Tuscon with my wife and kids to check out the local colleges and wanted to stop for breakfast on the way. I asked my wife to find a genuine ma and pa locals kind of place. You know the real deal kind of breakfast. She went to Yelp and found Cappy's. She wasn't sure if I'd like it because it's kinda a hole in the wall in a little strip mall. A no thrills, good ole greasy spoon. Man, it was fantastic. I had the Chile rellenos with eggs and beans and grilled hot peppers. Wow! My wife had the breakfast burrito, my daughter had like an enchilada breakfast, and we had the freshest orange juice ever. I was so happy stumbling upon this place that my wife joked that I wanted our daughter to choose Arizona University just so I could visit and come for breakfast. Make no mistake, there's nothing upscale about this place. It's a tiny little dive off the beaten path and I wouldn't want it any other way! read more

Very good. Very inexpensive! We were passing through very early in the morning and stopped for coffee and breakfast. Plenty of food for a very reasonable price! If they were in the town we live in, it would be a regular breakfast place for us. Good job!! read more

This place scores high on safety measures and protocols for dine-in service. I felt very comfortable eating my lunch here. This place is truly a hidden gem. I am so glad that their doors are still open for business. It's not well known about Mexican food themed breakfasts. I loved the Chili Rellenos, they where divine!!!!!! Another small restaurant that is welcoming owned by a nice family. Would highly recommend the trip to this modest breakfast restaurant. You will not leave hungry! read more

Great food. Great service. Great and prices. We stopped in at 10am and got the last table. After we sat, more people kept coming but waited outside You know a place has to be good when people will stand outside and wait for a table. We usually have omelets and hash browns, they are always great. The hash browns are always golden and crispy on the outside and soft/fluffy inside. This last time I had the country fried steak. It was OK - more breading that I'd like. Coffee is also a little weak. The staff is always friendly and the food is served quickly. read more

super friendly and welcoming! food was great, waffles were amazing. would come again.

I loved what's I ordered. I got the chiliquiles and they were delicious. However my husband got a fish plate which came with two size and they didn't remember to bring us one of the sides. But honestly that's really minor. Another thing is that they brought a super hard roll out with the fish meal read more
