Capital Ale House 917 Caroline Street, Fredericksburg, VA 22401

"Everything was fantastic. The service was great and the food equal. The chicken sandwich was the best one we have ever had. Biting into the fried chicken sandwich was an experience. The crunch was so crispy, it could almost be described as flakey, and had the subtle touch of sweetness that every fried chicken sandwich should have. If the sandwich was cooked so well, you can only imagine the fries. My only complaint was the chicken on the salad. It was described as grilled, but had no signs of being grilled. It seemed to be baked a bit too long (I mean look at the picture) But the lettuce and veggies were fresh. Our burger was also wonderful. I wish I would have taken better pictures, but my phone was almost dead"

"the hostess (young, dark hair) and waiter (with glasses dark hair) told us we couldn't sit in the big table outside because they wanted it for a larger party. There werent any reservations the waitress got our orders wrong and took 2 hours to bring out the correct order of shrimp, pretzel and drinks We are kind of pissed. They werent even busy, half the staff just sitting there in "training" and when we left that big table we wanted was still empty. Edit: to reply to business, this dine in was a sunny afternoon Mother's day May 14 2023. At that time, the two bifold glass doors facing Caroline St were open (when you walk in, to the right of the hostess stand and in front of the bar there was a large table, half inside, half outside behind the plants along the sidewalk). The table was not reserved or taken for the whole 3 hours we were there."

"We had such a very polite young gentleman as our waiter. Our meal was good and glad with our decision to come here with TOO MANY PLACES to decide where to eat tonight."

"Had a larger sized party and the waitress was amazing! We ended up with a gluten free menu which had many choices. Those not using the menu had a Sunday brunch menu and the regular menu to choose from. Lots of variety. The club sandwhich was huge! There are larger tables, high top tables, booths and there is a huge bar. Beer list is good."

"This is a great place. But I think it’s under staffed. The restaurant was more than half empty and we still had to wait to be seated. The food was good. A few of the menu items were out at 7pm. Stay away from the pasta dishes. Stick to the appetizers. We tried the wings were good, the Bavarian pretzel was good, the nachos were very light on the toppings. The beef ribs were good too. The big chocolate cake was not “enough for two”. But it was good nonetheless. The restaurant is clean and not too noisy. I wouldn’t say that this place has a kid friendly menu. Would my family come back? I’m not sure. I had mixed reactions from the family."
