Your basic breakfast joint that won't excite you from the parking lot but the rating of 4.6 is indicative of what's on the inside. Great service from a family own establishment and their food was fantastic. Lots of Mexican styled dishes to choose from. Would come back again if I was in town visiting.

Always friendly, and fast service. Great food, huge portions. Can't beat the price, most reasonable prices around. Again, always friendly in house and on phone. We live ordering here, it takes less than 15 min and hit and fresh, great tasting food. Can get a little noisy when we don't in, but totally worth it

Nice unpretentious diner. Had breakfast with the kids. Cappy's Breakfast platter is definitely enough for an adult and a kid (or two kids whose eyes are bigger than their stomachs).

Settled in an old strip mall sets Cappy's. Stopped in for breakfast as I craved waffles and they did not disappoint. My wife had Cappy's Breakfast Plate. Both... Very good. Nice attentive staff. A bit of a loud environment, but they were steadily busy, so the noise is expected. We would both revisit again one day.

Service was excellent. Parking was plenty. The inside was on the smaller side. Food was pretty good for standard breakfast. Portions are on the larger side also. Coffee was ok. Overall a good place for your classic breakfast fare.

I got the Western Omelet with Biscuit and Gravy as my side. The atmosphere was very rustic but clean. The food was hot and good. Very good choices for seating and food. 3.8/5 would probably eat here again.

First time here and I will be returning! I had the Cappy's breakfast and it was amazing. Wife had the French toast she loved it. Girlfriend had the waffles she said they were great. Prices were right for the three of us and I will be a regular here. Great job! That's what I call down home cooking!
