There was a heater, so we figured we could stand it. The hostess rearranged the tables to seat us close to the heater, and left menus. Soon a waitress came with water and took drink orders. 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. Everyone enjoyed their food and the warm welcome from the staff on a not very warm day.

We ordered one of the specials, which was a grilled chicken, Gyro sandwich and substituted the side with the arugula salad. The Gyro could have used a little bit more seasoning but was very tasty. The arugula salad was the best I've had and served with beets, feta, onions, pecans, and couscous. We actually ordered a second one. We also ordered the Reuben sandwich which was served with a hefty portion of corned beef and served on marble rye. We ordered it with a cup of the potato soup which was blended with leeks, carrots, celery--delicious. Great experience!

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.

We stopped a guy delivering beer to ask when we would be served. He got our waitress who was far from friendly. It was almost too hard for her to take the food and the drink orders at once because she kept getting it wrong. And of course, it was. She completely forgot about our appetizer until after we had mentioned it several times during our meal. We had to keep flagging her down to refill our drinks. The check had regular instead of happy hour pricing (thankfully i asked to see the breakdown when she just wanted our card). The beer was ok, the food was mediocre, and the service sucked!!

The setting is relaxed and welcoming, making it good for both casual dining and meeting up with friends. Overall, it's a very good spot that delivers a pleasant experience.

The place is HOPPING on a Friday night. Staff seemed to enjoy working there and have a good team rapport. What I noticed is how many different types of people were enjoying themselves.

No reason for anyone to feel left out. Great food and service and a very happy vibe. I wish there were a tad more variety in the menu, but you can't be all things to all people and it is more important to do a select number of items extremely well. We will definitely return.

The lack of quality was such that it halfway jarred me into sobriety. The Texas Hen is made with what felt like weird chicken meal, and for $8.99 is not a good value proposition (even with the chili). The fries I ended up with were incredibly sour, which is not a flavor I typically expect from potatoes. The corn dog was alright. I want to like this place for its convenience and speed, but the taste of those sour fries coming up every time I belched the remainder of the night is a memory that will haunt me. I will not be returning.
