The rudest waitress and hostess I have ever encountered! That is saying something because I do A lot of dining out! If I had not been with family I would have walked out. The waitress was so rude right after I said “I am so...glad you are our waitress” because the hostess curtly gave us our menus gave us a dirty look and stomped away. We did nothing to deserve this type of behavior. You can hardly call it service. The only thing I think we did “wrong”in was come in at 1:30 not knowing not that this was a breakfast and lunch restaurant only, since it was our first time at this restaurant. The waitress made sure we knew it was close to closing time after we had ordered. My pastrami sandwich was cold, fried, oily and tasteless. Everyone else seemed to enjoy the food. I would return only to talk to the manager but I suspect it would do no good since the waitress was so rude to me in particular. Maybe it may be because I have a voice that sounds like a foreigner even though my family was born and raised in then U. S for many generations. I don’t know, but I won’t be back.More

My husband & I were in the area & decided to drop in for a bite. It was difficult to decide between breakfast & lunch, everything looked so good. My husband had the fish tacos. Grilled fish & lots of it, shredded cabbage, avocado, Pico...de Gallo, served in double tortillas. He said it was delicious, very tasty & moist. I had the BLT on squaw bread. Lots of bacon, very good. My side choice was coleslaw, tasty as well. They were very busy as it was lunch time. The service was attentive, always checking on you.More

Wow! Rough service. No smiling & virtual shunning for ordering a beer and then being told I cannot consume it. wth??? Then don’t offer it to me...and definitely don’t sell it to me! Hey, look...I understand the No Alcohol unless dining in law, but come...on people, I’m just NOT fine with the selling me a beer and then making me feel like a criminal for wanting to drink it thing. And me literally having to ask them, multiple times, to refund the cost of the beer. But ESPECIALLY NOW Cappi’s...if I were you (and I do this DAILY in my businesses) I would train your team to blow your customers away with incredible service. Or not. As I sit here waiting for the food, I’ll RE-evaluate my 2 star rating if, at least, the food is amazing. ✌🏼More

Scott, as my manager told you today, it's currently against the law to allow you to drink a beer while your waiting for your to go food. Sorry, but we aren't going to lose our liquor license by allowing you to drink a beer.

Wife and I were looking for a good breakfast and the reviews at Cappy's drew us in. Big local crowd there so that told us that it had some appeal. I had a pretty good French Toast, and my wife had a very so-so corn...beef hash for breakfast. Expect to wait with Covid restrictions in place. We walked away thinking it was an average place that didn't really distinguish itself in our eyes. Maybe next timeMore

We are happy you enjoyed your French Toast. Most customers say Cappy's Homemade Corn Beef hash is the "best they ever had" so i'm not sure why your wife didn't enjoy her meal. Next time you can try many other Cappy's favorites.

I have passed this place for the last 20 years, over my last weekend getaway we decided to stop because they have some great reviews, we are really glad we did, during COVID-19 they do have the interior seating but it’s limited and they have...a nice tent set up in the parking lot outback, it’s A well oiled machine, The check in process is done via iPad and they send you a text message, it was extremely busy they got us in within 15 minutes, service was prompt, we got coffee, bottomless mimosas and I had a bloody Mary, highly recommended, breakfast is solid, great portion sizing and flavor, during the hour we were there our drinks were constantly refilled and someone is always checking on you throughout your experience, there is absolutely no shortage of servers we were extremely impressed, we did notice they are doing some work to the interior of the restaurant and they are painting a new mural which is pretty damn impressive, overall even with Covid and in the outdoor dining experience, five stars, everyone was friendly, helpful and made it a really enjoyable experience,In fact, the night before we ate a certain restaurant in Huntington Beach adjacent the pier, dropped well over 100 bucks and wish we had gone to Cappys instead. If you’re in Newport, or breakfast lunch or dinner I’d highly recommended this place, they also seem to be able to get takeout orders in a priority fashion, try it, you can’t go wrongMore
