It is sincerely awesome that Cap City Diner carries Mexican Coca Cola...

Good pickup. They use sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

I made my first foray to CC Diner on Saturday about 11.30am for some breakfast. The food was definitely tasty, and I will give it a try a second time for that reason...and I enjoyed the diner car atmosphere!
However, even tho they had a crowd but weren't packed, the service still left a bit to be desired (and the early reviews on that aspect was what postponed me from visiting before). The opening frustration was it took way too long after we ordered, about 10 minutes and asking twice, to get get some coffee and water. I wish more places would just put out on the table a plastic pitcher of water/glasses when they clear/re-set a table. I'm sure it's too much $$ potentially wasted for a business to ask for same thing on coffee side.
I look forward to trying their turkey burger, sounded good with cheese and turkey bacon!!

I really really really love their cheesesteak! Perfect bread packed with so much meat I can't eat it all at once.

Best. In. Town. No contest.

Was there for breakfast during my day off. The food and the service were top notch.
