Located in the new Fountainbleu Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, Capons (named after John Capon, celebrity chef) is their burgers and fries location in their Promenade Food Court. It's a typical food court set-up, where you order and pay first, and then wait for your number to be called to pick up your order. We ordered quite a few things for the four of us for dinner before a show, and it came in stages: soda being bottles that you pick up right away, burgers and fries being done in a few minutes, and the shake taking a while since it needed to be hand spun individually. Not sure how well the staff would do with any sort of volume, but because there weren't many people around, our food was ready in a reasonable time.
Capon's classic ($13) - plain cheeseburger. They allowed us to put all the toppings on the side.
Buffalo Billy ($15) - this was my sandwich, and it was disappointing for the price. The crispy chicken fillet was thick enough, but not very large so I ended up having more than half of the bun without meat. There wasn't much blue cheese dressing, and not sure what happened to any celery.
Firebird ($14) - chicken sandwich
Smokeshow ($16) - cheeseburger with caramelized onion bacon jam.
All the sandwiches were served on a excellent potato bun, slightly toasted on both sides. The meat was of good quality, with the toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles) were fresh and crisp.
Crispy Waffle Fries ($6) - excellent. Can (almost) never go wrong with waffle fries.
Onion Rings ($6) - real onion rings, big, and greasy. very good.
Strawberry Shake ($8) - this was a great value, a large amount of strawberry ice cream, hand spun, and served perfectly with the right amount of thickness. I don't think it's ordered that much, since it took a while for the worker to make...way after the food had been delivered.
Double Chocolate Shake ($8) -
Coke Zero ($6) - steep for a 16oz bottle, considering how much the shake is.
Kiddie Ice Cream Cone ($4) - soft serve, sized for a kid. Brother ordered it just to hit the 100 dollar mark on his dining credit.
So summary: it's a fast food restaurant, employees looking like they could work at any other fast food joint, really good shakes, decent burgers, ok chicken sandwiches. OK place to eat if already in Fountainebleu, but not a reason to go there.
