Desserts at this Cameron Mitchell Restaurant are retro-cool, taste better than you remember & are showstopper-sized.

Cap City is more than a diner, but has a diner style menu. Good beer selection. Very good service, even during an OSU football game!

It had been several years since I had dined at Cap City. The fellow at the bar was extremely nice and friendly, too bad he will be leaving soon to find a teaching job...losing a great employee. The pretzels were incredible! Two large pretzels for $5.00 at the bar for happy hour. Really tasty, but enough to share with 3... More

The food at cap city is great. Pork chops, meatloaf, and salmon. And I highly recommend the old bay shrimp and maytag blue cheese chips.

My son and I love Caesar salads & the one made here is very good. Lots of dark green leafy Romaine with freshly made daily croutons and an excellent dressing.

Went with the family for a graduation ceremony dinner. The service was very good. We ordered drinks and appetizers before dinner. There was no rush or push to get us moving. The beer tour was very good. The meatloaf, salmon and wings were all excellent. The Big-O-Chocolate Mug was the best. Enough to share. We'll be back.

this is basically a diner with an upscale twist, I have never had a bad meal and the prices although by no means cheap are not outrageous for the portions you receive, everyone needs to try this place at least once and I think you will be hooked

I haven't been here in a while and it was close to my hotel. I opted for the Potato chip appetizer and the meatloaf melt. Loved it, just like I remembered. Try the desserts.

It's all been said. Go enjoy. Great food, excellent service. The meatloaf is awesome! The samon was delicious as was the really big chocolate cake that could serve 3 easily. We made reservations and the wait for walk ins was 1.5 hours. I would have waited knowing what I know now. I will go back!!
