In town for work and after a long day on the Josie decided to give a local place a try. Menu has a large selection of foods and styles of food. Decided to go with the Cajun pasta with chicken. Back home when you order Cajun anything it's barely spiced. That was not the case here. The spice was just the right amount. The flavors were more than cayenne pepper. The noodles were done great and the beer was cold. The only knock was the chicken was dry but it had great flavor just took a few more chews. I would visit again bc like I said there are burgers, steaks, sushi, other pastas and so much more. read more

Fun atmosphere. Great variety of food options. The staff were very friendly. High barriers between booths offered some privacy, which was nice read more

Santa Fe Capitol Grill - Steak sandwich and crab cakes - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Excellent food menu, good service except when overwhelmed. Friday evening Happy Hours have cheap liquor. Very lively on Halloween and other holidays. I'm not super cool with the TVs mostly showing sports, not my thing, but I know others like it. It's right in my neighborhood, and on days when I'm lazy I can pick up food in like 15 minutes. I recommend them. PS-- Yelp lies and refuses to share my real location. I live in SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO!! I left Minnesota in 2025. I changed it in the profile I made, put in Santa Fe 2x, their software is lousy and they continue to pretend I am driving 1,000s or miles to review Santa Fe area places. read more

Bar staff is great. Atmosphere is clean modern and comfortable with NM informational commercials on HDTVs and pleasant music. There is usually some sports on a few TVs. But the food is lackluster. Do not get the tacos on Taco Tuesday. The carne asada was flavorless, cheese is ok, bland semi-soft tortillas and cilantro the tastiest part. All of this unimpressive cuisine comes in the form of lukewarm minuscule taco-like open face edible on a hot plate. For better food, head next door to Plaza South restaurant. But even they have changed as management changed. read more

Low rating because of service from what appeared to be probably not a 16-year-old server. Food was fine no complaints there. One thing to note is that there is a salad that they consider vegan however it has turkey in it. I tried to point that out to a couple of people and they were totally totally disinterested. So what does that tell you. I'm over this place read more

The pastas tasted dry,it wasn't cooked properly,at the end it has a weird taste and texture in my mouth. But other than that the appetizer tasted a lot better than the actual food the wings were good and tasty they were flavorful if you come I only recommend getting the appetizer(wings). The drinks were okay I guess. The service was very good the people were kind. read more

The atmosphere and service is nice. The food is very bland and off flavor. We had the fish and chips which were more like fish sticks with an odd flavor. We had the chicken fried chicken which was flavorless. The "seasonal vegetables" that accompany it was spinach, canned corn and canned mushrooms. The tacos had no flavor at all. I wouldn't recommend. read more

My husband and I sat in the bar in a booth and service was so slow! If we come back again, we will not be doing that. The Happy Hour menu impressed with its variety, especially the popular wings. Our choice of popcorn shrimp, served with fries, was enjoyable. The frozen mango margarita was a pleasant surprise, adding to the positive note of our experience. It's worth noting that Happy Hour runs daily from 3-6 pm. I'm often skeptical of chains but for HH, it's a solid choice. read more

Santa Fe Capitol Grill - Current Happy Hour Menu as of November 2023 - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

To satisfy my desire for a burger while on Vacation, and with my stomach feeling better, we enjoyed an early dinner after a full morning of running errands, we stopped in at Capitol Grill for the New Mexico Signature Green Chili Cheeseburger and fries. We were warmly escorted by the hostess across the dimly lit and relaxing dining room, where we chose to sit in a booth. The burger was spicy but delicious, and the service was quick and helpful. From where we sat , we were able to see TVs playing sports at the bar. Hubby and I enjoyed our experience and look forward to our return!

While I didn't love our food service was good and considerate. I got the nachos which seemed to have a can of beans piled on top with little cheese. They also seem to be heavy on seasonings, a friend got pasta with garlic bread but more garlic than bread taste. What took my review down to 2 stars was a friend got the trio plate (queso, salsa, and guac with chips) and her queso tastes funny... like it might have been bad. read more

Service was nice... Food was terrible. I had a salad with short ribs, and although I know, short ribs can be chewy, these were chewer than beef jerky. My compadre had a steak and potatoes, and the steak was way overdone and the potatoes were gummy. The cocktails were fine. read more

So we were on the way to our normal Friday evening place, Plaza Cafe Southside, when the boy wanted us to try this place. Drawing a direct comparison with its next door neighbor, here is what we concluded. Everything we had (Chicken Alfredo, Green Chile Pork Stew, and Fried Coconut Shrimp) was good. The nachos, however, were just OK. Plaza cafe's nachos are much better. The Posole at Plaza Cafe is also superior to the stew I had. We did, however, note that prices at Capitol Grill were lower than the Plaza Cafe. All in all a positive experience and with a cost conscious spouse, we're bound to return. read more

Honestly it was good the food was great not bad for the price, staff was nice checked in on us more than most restaurants do which was cool definitely would recommend read more

Service was great but.. We shared the fish and chips at $17. The fish was almost non-existent, the slaw had no taste what so ever, fries were good but lukewarm when we received them. We also shared the seared tuna. It had soy sauce and some weird sweet sauce that was not good. The fish was just so so and spinach was good but definitely not worth the money. We were pretty disappointed so we won't be back. We had liked it a couple of years ago so not sure what's changed. read more

This most recently visit was awful. The waiter quit during our drink order, he was rude and haughty. The booth was disgusting, covered in food splatter. They are charging 16-20 dollars for half of a sushi roll. On their "special" sushi menu it is rife with spelling errors. No one proof read these before they printed and lamenated them. For example: cream is spelled "ream", with "whit", white "whit", of "off". The only reason they aren't getting 1 stars on this review is because the waitress who replaced the original was very sweet. read more

Santa Fe Capitol Grill - a restaurant sign lit up at night - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

A friend and I each had the portabello mushroom burger, which came with fries. A thin (l/2") slice of mushroom that had been battered and deep fried, on a burger with their "secret sauce," but nothing was going to save this burger. The coating was thick, greasy and flavorless. The burger tasted weird, for lack of a better description. The waitress showed up exactly three times: once to take our order, second time to serve it, and then a yawning 30 minutes before she showed up with the bill, which we hadn't asked for. Maybe it was an act of mercy that she didn't ask us if we wanted dessert. read more

good service they put up with our giant group so sorry.... i got huevos rancheros it was decent but the potatoes were a little flavorless and served with ketchup which was weird. the side tortilla was also only a half. bf got a bloody mary with about 5 tablespoons of salt in it....really gross. i'd be interested in trying their lunch + dinner items though. read more

I think this place had an acre of mint growing out back. Moscow Mule came with mint. Huh? Other drinks also. I prefer seafood when eating out. Every seafood dish came with mint fried rice. And you pay way more than a full roll for half a sushi roll. It was a struggle. read more

I came in excited with high hopes, because I've heard Capitol Grill is an amazing place to have dinner. Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience. When my wife and I walked in, we were not greeted for over 2 minutes, despite being the only two people in the entrance and two girls standing at the host stand. It took over 5 minutes for our server to come and greet us, despite the fact that she saw us get seated in her section. We asked questions about their drink menu, but unfortunately she was not familiar with them. Our drinks had ingredients that were not listed on the menu, and did not taste how they should have. The cosmo tasted like a lemon drop and the old fashioned was extremely watered down. The mozzarella balls were flavorless to me, but my wife said they were "decent". We never received any silverware or napkins. Maybe I'm being too picky but I personally did not have a good experience, the 2 stars are because my wife semi enjoyed the cheese. I most likely will not return and would not recommend. read more

We always sit at the bar, so have great service, and the happy hour specials were great, the best in Santa Fe. However they changed the menu and prices, now it is just ok. The nachos were changed to a different style and flavor profile, so now they are not recommended. They used to be packed, now they have less customers. read more

Worst food ever!!! we ordered food for our team and I ordered the tenders and fries they tasted awful like the food was expired that bitter aftertaste and the fries did not taste right didn't even try to attempt to eat the gross food my other teammates got the shrimp salad they stated that what ever they used to cook the shrimp made the complete meal taste disgusting my staff felt ill after eating and then my last team members got tacos and took one bite and where done we gave all the food to our dog that came with us it was $80 wasted for poor quality food in my opinion I think the management and cooks just gave up! This restaurant just needs to close down because obviously they just stopped caring. read more

I had the worst experience at this restaurant. I kid you not. 1.) The waiter lost our meal order ticket. My family and I had to wait an extra thirty minutes and watch tables around us receive their food before us. 2.) When our food finally came, the waiter handed me my plate and I dropped it on the table because it was scorching hot. I didn't know it was hot and he didn't say anything. He just handed it to me. 3.) I took a beat before eating to focus on my burnt skin. Finally, with my one good hand, I thought nothing could get worse. That was until I found a strand of hair in my food. I returned my food and I refused to order anything further. I sat there while my family ate. In the end, he did remove my club sandwich from the bill and did offer another dish. But from the theme of things, I knew he would have charged me for the new meal and so I refused. By that point, my hand was burning and so I paid our very big bill and left hungry. How does this even happen?? read more

Came here for a quick lunch while running errands. The restaurant decor is nice. We were greeted and seated immediately. It took awhile to get our drinks. Our server was busy with other tables. We ended up placing our food order with a separate server because of this. We ordered a beer, a lemon drop and two waters to drink. The lemon drop was not very good. For food, we ordered the prime rib burrito and a bowl of green chile stew. The food was okay. No real bite to the chile, so that was disappointing especially for New Mexico! Service was not very attentive. Felt like something was out of tune with the staff. We had to ask for silverware, ask for water refills, ask for the check. I don't think we will be back and I wouldn't recommend. read more

Made our first visit Saturday night. We live right down the road so don't know why it took us so long to discover this place. Sampled an assortment of appetizers available for happy hour. Calamari was outstanding as were nachos. Chicken wings were surprisingly crispy and favorable. Lettuce wraps were a bit bland especially compared to the flavorful other items. Our waiter was attentive and kept us posted when the drinks were a bit slow in coming. You don't feel so bad when you know you haven't been forgotten. Anxious to return for the Monday night prime rib special. Looking forward to that! read more

Order the Santa Fe capitol looked good but tasted very bland.. the bun was way to soggy .. everything fell apart.. had to take the bun put it to the side read more

First impressions: it's a little hard to find once you enter the San Isidro Plaza. The menu online is apparently "the old menu" according to our server. For example, the online menu offers chili con queso or guacamole with chips for $6.99. The only similar option in house is the Capitol Trio which adds a serving of salsa for a total if $10.99. Upsell, anyone!?! The trio is just ok. The guacamole isn't bad, but could use a little more seasoning. The queso tastes like melted Kraft American cheese slices and the salsa has a peculiar, perhaps vinegary taste. The chips are tri-colored & nice and crispy. My patty melt was decent but I was getting full. The potatoes au gratin needed some serious seasoning. They were just boring. My wife had the Capitol green chili/bacon cheeseburger. Her roll looked nice but was soggy as can be! The tomato was tasteless & the lettuce was wilted big-time. Now the good news: her green chili Mac & cheese was terrific! Best part of the meal! We'd come back just for a bowl of that! Our server said they make a really good green chili chicken fettuccine. If it's as good as the Mac & cheese it's worth the trip! Their "happy hour" runs from 3:00 to 6:00 (I think) and the prices for well drinks & draft beers are very reasonable. They serve the well drink Moscow Mule in a copper mug! YAY! The service was adequate. I think they say "measured." At no point did we feel rushed and we appreciate that. We did wait long enough for the check for me to complete my review! read more

We go to capital grille very often for lunch and we always ask for Mabel because she is the best server ever. Today my husband had the cheeseburger with green chili and it was the best burger he had had in ages I had about three bites of it and it was absolutely mouthwatering I had ordered the calamari and ate some of it but when calamari is big sometimes it's tough and there's nothing you can do about it but I love their Caesar salad we always add blue cheese crumbles and onion to it and we go very often to this restaurant they have a very diverse menu and you can order anything the way you like it and by the way Mabel took back the calamari insisted on it even though I didn't want her to and took it off our bill she is the best you can't go wrong by eating here. read more
