Our wait was about 20 min which is nothing for a restaurant after a game on parents weekend. Once we were seated, our server came to take our drink order. Extra points scored for my Coke Zero with no ice. Most servers forget. Because we had a drive home and we wanted to get going and we knew how crowded it was, we put in our app and main order all at once, which our awesome server appreciated. We had the buffalo chicken cheese dip for appetizer. Husband and son said it was good. Could've been a little hotter with bigger pieces of chicken. For dinner husband had the jerk chicken sandwich. Said it was very good. Son had the steak and cheese quesadilla. Said it was good but not very cheesy. I had the garlic parm traditional wings. They were very good but needed a little more flavor. Or just a hint of salt. Otherwise great, and came out nice and hot.

We were visiting Harrisonburg for the weekend and after looking on Yelp for a good place to have…read moredinner on a Saturday night, we decided on Capital Ale House. Lots of prom kids and college students filled the place. We were quickly seated in a nice booth and Nate our server helped us with some stout beers. We had a milk stout and a caramel macchiato stout the latter of which was the best. Looking at the menu I have to say it was not your standard ale house fair. It was definitely "elevated" in this regard. We asked to split a 2 soft shell entree with broccolini & seasoned mash, a bowl of crab bisque and a pierogi sampler. We also asked for an extra plate, to which Nate said he would take care of it. When the food arrived it was divided perfectly. Nate had split the bowl of soup into 2 small bowls and he divided the entree and sides onto 2 plates. The soft shell crabs were HUGE, the largest I had ever seen, and crisply fried to perfection. The sides were equally exquisite in their flavor and preparation. The crab bisque was loaded with fresh lump crabmeat and perfectly seasoned. The pirogies were also excellent in flavor and presentation. It was the most satisfying meal I'd had in a while (could be because I was craving soft shells) Needless to say we were very happy with the food in every way and were stuffed as we asked for the check. Nate/Nathaniel really made the experience as he was highly attentive, though caring for many tables, and was quick to take care of our every need. The place was really rocking with customers and everyone there was having a great time. We'll definitely be back and let everyone we know what a top notch establishment Capital Ale House in Harrisonburg is.

The waters themselves took about 20 minutes to come out. Then our appetizers came shortly after. The plates brought to us for the appetizers literally had food pieces on them and sauce smears - seemed like they weren't run through the washer enough. After we got the water, it took them 20 minutes to take our order. After we placed our orders it took over an hour for our food to be brought out. The service was incredibly slow for mediocre food. The atmosphere was good and we were with good people, so that made the experience alright. I don't recommend coming here, find a better place in Harrisonburg, there's so many.

It's basically…read morehalf off as long as you order traditional, whereas on Thursdays, it'll be half off on boneless. It can be for lunch or dinner since the deal will be available all day until closing. For the sizes of the wings, they have snack, small, medium, and large. You'll be getting 5 wings for snack, 10 for small, 15 for medium, and 20 for a large. I usually get medium and split 3 flavors by 5 wings. The flavors I got were bourbon honey mustard, Parmesan garlic, and medium sauce wings. Bourbon honey mustard was by far my favorite because of its sweetness and juiciness. My other two were on the saltier side, but still flavorful. For sides, you can choose to get carrots and/or celeries with ranch or blue cheese all on the house. The service from our server, Savannah, was splendid. All of our needs were met because of her consistent check ups. She even accommodated with our request for a booth table even though it was just a party of two.

We were seated in a comfortable booth on the second floor. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive from the moment we arrived.

I ordered the pulled pork with mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts topped with bacon and candied pecans, and hush puppies. Everything was delicious, and the portions were generous, I couldn't even finish my meal. The Brussels sprouts were especially outstanding. Jimmy Madison's is well worth a visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Harrisonburg.

Not long after she returned to take our food orders. While we were waiting for the food, someone brought us some warm blankets. All through our meal people kept checking to see whether we needed anything. It was the best service I have seen in a long time, and I arrange a bi-monthly lunch outing for a club I belong to. The food was delicious. The salmon sandwich was incredible, the burrata appetizer was to die for, and I wish everyone had such good French fries.

The restaurant was packed due to Mother's Day but we were seated after a 30 min wait which we didn't mind. The dinner rolls were delicious as always. We got 2 16 oz NY strip steak dishes with mashed potatoes, fries, chili, and Caesar salad. We also got the steak kabobs which came with seasoned rice and fries. All the dishes were absolutely delicious and the portions were large enough for us to take home leftovers for extra meals!! Our server was kind enough to give us additional dinner rolls with the delicious cinnamon butter to take home. I will always rely on Texas Roadhouse for a great meal. My only complaint is the chili recipe has changed. It used to be "Texas style" chili meaning no beans were added and cubes of meat were used instead of ground beef which seems to have changed.
