I love this place. I drop in for breakfast and I am never disappointed. Great pancakes and waffles. To top it all off a slice of bacalava is the size of a slice of pie. Great coffee too.
Great food and lots of variety, as you would expect from a diner. I usually ask for veggies on the side - they actually put garlic on it and it doesnt taste plain/boiled. Happy customer every time.
Great experience. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Food was fresh and delicious!
This gives me white vibes and the food is really good. Weekdays are amazing there is special deals on food
I highly recommend this diner. Uber Eats only delivered one bag of food from a large order and the diner did the right thing and delivered the rest of the food themselves. My wife and I order from here often the food is great and the price is reasonable.
Love this place. Courteous service, great, straightforward diner food. Very comforting and my go-to place if i want a heavier lunch out. Bathroom was clean. Prices are more than reasonable (although at first glance through the menu, the salads look a little overpriced) for almost everything.
This diner is great. It is affordable, staff is friendly and the food is delicious.
Loved the pan-cakes here.Busy place.Friendly staff.
This diner is very pretty and looks brand new. the staff is very great and nice. they made us feel welcome. my son loves it he had a great time here. with his kids meal he got a donut. he was so happy the waiter even talked with him and made my son happy too. the food was amazing. it was very good. they have great prices. we needed something new in the neighborhood and this was perfect. they have restrooms and seating available. they have table service and high chairs. I will come back here again.
Very good and family environment. I wish it was a little bit bigger.
Great Diner, perfect burger, very crispy fries. Outdoor dining is a pretty good setup, but no barriers between tables, but was there on a Sat afternoon and they were filling tons of takeout orders, so there was plenty of space for sit down dining.
The food at capitol diner was amazing and the service was spectacular They were kind and attentive. I had French toast with fresh berries and wiped creamalong with two over easy eggs. The French toast was moist and perfect in flavor. The eggs were on point. Will definitely go again this is now my and my kids favorite place to get comfort food
Had the meatloaf lunch special. It was seasoned well. The mashed potatoes were made from real potatoes. The side of green beans looked and tasted fresh. I was pleasantly surprised. I ate the entire plate. This little store front diner has some delish dishes! I definitely recommend this small, modern, stylish, cozy spot. Comfortable for one or more.
Ordered chicken wings. They tasted pretty bad and low quality. Could not eat it but the fries were good
Didnt have a great experience eating here. The food was okay, but the service is what made it bad for me and my fiance as we ate. Took us a long time before we got a menu and before we were able to place an order. And after receiving our food, within a few minutes we were given the bill for our food.We didnt get any attention and was consistantly ignored when we needed something. Cant help but wonder many reasons why, especially when white customers that were eating were receiving good service and not being ignored.
Partner’s croissant egg and cheese was fine, croissant was a little doughey. Not the best $6 breakfast sandwich, I’ve had better at a bodega. However, the French toast was foul. Idk what kind of butter they used but the bread was yellow and greasy, they put no powdered sugar on it as I requested instead of maple syrup, and to top it off it was $11. Disappointed.
My spouse & I were curious about trying the food here. Unfortunately, we never had the chance because we left before being seated. The man who greeted us was outrageously nasty with my spouse who has a disability. Then he refused to give us seats. Even more disturbing was the behavior of the seated patrons. Who seemed to support discrimination. We never went back here again after this horrible incident. We reported this diner for a violation of the ADA. I hope that justice prevails.
The only thing you need to know is that the Turkey Club is on point. Im addicted.Okay, one more thing is that the burgers are really fantastic, too.
Just moved to the neighborhood and went to Capitol Sunday afternoon. It was pretty full but I was by myself so it was easy to sit me. I kept it basic, Turkey sausage omelette platter. Everything was good, not much of a homefries guy but they were good. Service was on point. They didnt rush me and made sure I needed for nothing. Will definitely go back. Thank you for the great experience Capital!
Perfectly pleasant old-fashioned diner with large portions and good prices. I had an iced coffee and the Reuben sandwich, both were very good. Excellent sauerkraut and mustard. Overall a nice place to spend some time in Inwood.
Lovely restaurant. Great service. Large portions. Very fresh food and well cooked. Love their chicken and waffles.
I have ordered from the Capital numerous times Chicken Souvlaki platter always great salads same most everything but today i ordered their chicken wings they were awful and overpriced 5 wings for 10.75 stay away from selecting this.
Great melding of an old-school diner with some modern updates. On walking in it feels like youre entering a place thats been there for 60 years but also just opened. It seems like they took an old place and updated it in just the right places, so it still feels nostalgic but not out of date. The best part, though, was that the food was quick to the table and delicious. The breakfast burrito i had was cooked perfectly, not greasy, and complimented with the best home fries ive had in manhattan. Definitely coming back for more.
My boyfriend and I go here all the time for breakfast food. Its good stuff! I love that they have Irish Sausages. And their soup is good too. The only thing is that you have to bring cash because they dont take cards.
Excellent food and exceptional service. Since this is a small dinner it is a bit uncomfortable having to eat while getting the hurry up look from others that are waiting for a table, but aside from this I highly recommend this establishment...
I love this diner. Been a few times recently since they revamped it, and I swear my food has come out in under 5 mins every time. Prices are fare, service is kind, no complaints from me.
Love the renovation! It’s so much better. Great service and food. A lot of variety on the menu and fair pricing. One of my new favorite spots now!
Great food. Great service. Very reasonable pricing. They have a great and traditional diner menu with some great Mexican and Greek food as well. I can vouch, being a Mexican, that the Mexican food is fantastic. One of the best places in Inwood.
The food comes out a bit fast. They renovated it too 100% better. Its open now which makes it feel bigger. Great diner with a huge variation.
This is a friendly, typical Greek-American diner with a very good cook and excellent prices, serviced by a caring owner. It can be crowded mid-day on weekends so but its worth the wait!
Pretty good, but I definitely ordered the wrong thing! It was like a steak sandwich and it it was really dry. Busy place and the staff couldnt keep up, but they were nice. Heard a lot of good recommendations about this place
I ordered the French toast with eggs and bacon with coffee and it was so delicious. I regret not having gone here in the past, but hope to make up for it. I enjoyed my time in this old time establishment.
Favorite spot for breakfast in Inwood!
Love the Capitol Diner. No fuss. No muss. Just straight up awesome food, excellent service, great neighborhood vibe. The Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe [medium] with Vanilla shake is my mainstay, but go in one day and try the Roumanian Steak. Best item on the menu. Grilled cheese/tomato soup is on point. Oh- It doesnt hurt that theyll have the Mets game on!
Great food and wonderful staff.Friendly fun comfort food.Dont forgetting too get pie when your meal is be done
Delicious breakfast, good service. You will find an old decoration set up, the place looks like it is straight from the 30’s or 40’s but the food is good and tasty. It is a place that time forgot, I like it.
The food is excellent and we have tried almost all of the entrees the employees with their service are excellent the Owner is magnificent. Cant wait to go back😁😁❤
You do what you gotta do this is the communication from this small business when they made a mistake. When you receive an order from uber (as a restaurant) as soon as you know you cant meet a demand, youre supposed to cancel the order and call the customer. Its called being proactive. Instead, this restaurant called after the order was cooked with only 2 items out of the 3 to say i cant do anything on my end so contact uber and as im explaining what the course of action should have been and vocalizing that uber will not be able to help me post delivery since with the covid crisis they have not been implementing refunds they say well you do what you gotta do You own a small business where community patrons want to support and you speak to them in this tone...does not make for a savvy business strategy
Best place ever! I been eating there since I was 9 years old. Food is always fresh n super yummies! A good peaceful place to enjoy your food.
AMAZING ! Great customer service & amazing food ! I had grits eggs & beef sausage.. DELICIOUS! Can’t wait to try other foods on menu !!
Best Bacon, Egg and Cheese I have had in so long!Very kind people, the vibe is great!!!?
Definitely worth a visit or two. They are trying hard and thats what counts. Some issues here and there, but they fix them right away. 1000% better than the former diner in this location by the same name.
The servicers were friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the food but most of all it was a place where good people gathered. I WILL return!
A friendly neighborhood eatery. Employees are wonderful.
Delicious food! Excellent service . Will be coming back!
Good local diner. Fresh, tasty, everything you would expect. Best in the hood.
Place looks great and clean. Service was very good and food delicious 😋. Met owner very welcoming, I wish him the best.
Good portions, and very good freshly squeezed organge juice! House potatoes are not great.
Service 5 stars, food 5 stars, price 5 stars. On the small side, simply saying that to say you might have to wait a little depending on what time and when you go but all good things are worth waiting for.
Really great customer service
I’m so grateful they are here !! Food is great service wonderful snd free delivery! The best !! Thank you!
Quick and easy. Bern there for breakfast not a long wait. The place is clean and they are very attentive.
Never had a bad meal at this place. The chicken parmesan is always great, and the staff is friendly and consistent.
The food was incredible atmosphere was great good costumer service amazing food instagram worthy and you will leave happy and the deserts are amazing
Great food with generous portions at good prices. Great delivery too! Thanks again! 👍
Love the service. Very fast. And food was good
Lentil soup was like homemade and the extra toasted everything bagel was perfect.😁😁
So good. I had the breakfast steak and let me tell you it was so juicy and flavorful.
So happy they are open. Had outdoor breakfast dining last week. A treat.
Basic food tastes good when youre hungry. Old fashioned feel so if you want an old ny feel, youll love it.
Food was very good, however, cheap with napkins and condiments...good lord!
Newly renovated and ready to go. A proper diner in Inwood - something weve been begging for for a while! 😃
Great food! Great service! Been going here for years.
They’ve recently renovated and FINALLY are accepting credit cards! Will be visiting much more often now.
High quality standard diner food.
The renovation and new owners are great. I come here with my toddler and they have a high chair for him.
Clean location with great food and great customer service. Will definitely be back.
Over priced $18 salad. Not worth it!
Good food, fast service and great prices!

A perfectly average diner, just what you want in your neighborhood.
It just brings me few years back, old style dinner love it.
Old school New York spot with all the old school charm. I love coming here for breakfast.

2022-05-02This is a hidden gem! The exterior of the restaurant is not very appealing but the interior is designed very nicely. It’s very clean and has a cozy vibe. The customer service is nice but the food is what earns this place five stars. This is NOT your average diner food. The Greek waffle is a must to order!!! Very happy with this place!

2022-01-30My husband and I always order breakfast from this place every weekend, but today we decided to go in person. I have to say that Ana Maria provided us with an AMAZING customer service👌🏼! She was helping out every single table in this place, but she was proving excellent customer service to every single one of her customers. In regards to the food here, it is very good and affordable. The coffee here is just one of the best for me. I strongly recommend this place, not only because of the good food, but also for the great customer service you get! Also a shout out to Antonio who always take our orders on the weekends and is also very friendly and great worker! Great job Capitol Diner !!! My husband and I appreciate your hard work!!!!

2022-03-23Filling diner food. If youre eating in person, things come PIPPING hot. :) The waiters are also very attentive and will fill your water immediately. Theyll even make me a hot chocolate with a shot of espresso. Ordered in one time for a lazy girls day brunch, and there was just SO MUCH FOOD. :D

2019-12-07Pleasant atmosphere and staff. The portions are generous for the price. We mostly ordered the typical diner breakfast items as we had a craving for them. I definitely recommend this place if youre in the mood for good diner food. May have some wait during busy times.

2019-09-22A delicious remake of an old favorite! The new Capital Diner is a clean, charming, high-quality restaurant that serves yummy homemade food at reasonable prices. You wont find the pageantry of brunch or designer cocktails here, just fluffy pancakes to die for; salads bursting with fresh, crunchy veggies; and hands down, the crunchiest, tastiest French fries in Inwood, maybe in the city. The prices are low to moderate, which belies the quality of the food. They could charge more. They just dont. Stop by and welcome these peeps to the neighborhood by ordering yourself a short stack. You wont be sorry.

2019-12-01This dinner became our favorite go-to spot for a lazy Sunday morning breakfast. Everyone here shows up in sweats so it’s super casual and comfy!The food is SO GOOD! Tried a bunch of options like their Californian egg omelette, Texan burger and eggs Benedict with hollandaise. Never disappointed!The coffee is good, the staff is super friendly and the prices are very modest for what it is!I guess my wife and I will be eating here every week from now on!

2020-02-13Just a quick note to say that the Capitol reopened this morning (July 31, 2019) after an extensive renovation. Its a straight-up diner. Eggs, home fries, etc...clean, friendly. A diner.Postscript. Ive been back many times since first posting this review. The Capitol is consistently fresh and friendly. Perfect turkey clubs.

2019-10-20This diner has changed its face and its owner recently. I never visited the old diner, but we decided to check out the brand new diner. The inside is very bright, clean, and cozy. They had some baked goods on the counter, such as muffins and bagels. We didn’t try them, but they looked pretty good.I tried their Banana Smoothie. It was very thick and totally banana-y. Came in a plastic cup, which was kind of funny, no frills here. Tasty!We were there for brunch, and their menu is quite large! It took me a few minutes to decide what to get. I went with Pancakes Decker - layered with Greek yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, & topped with honey.Now, the actual Pancake Decker looked very different from what was shown on their menu… It didn’t come with honey either. The pancakes were fluffy, and the berries were ripe and sweet, which was great. Even though it didn’t live up to the photo, it was still a tasty dish.My hubby went with Monte Cristo. It was a bit smaller than expected, but still a nice size. It was very tasty, nice flavor and seasoning on the meat. It didn’t look like much, but we enjoyed it. I would like to go back to try some other items on their menu, but not based on the photos off the menu...LOL.
