Cappy's Restaurant

Cappy’s has always been a hometown favorite. Definitely worth the drive even if you aren’t in the Alamo Heights area. Known for seafood and cocktails, just about everything on the menu is good. I had the Potato Crusted Halibut with Julianne Vegetables. It was killer, highly recommend. Cocktails were spot on and the bread is delicious. Only room for improvement would be desert. We had the Key Lime Pie which came with a kiwi gel. It was decent but far from the best Key Lime Pie I’ve had and the Kiwi was an odd addition.

It’s my first time enjoying Kathy‘s restaurant. I went with a large group of family. Service was impeccable. The waiter did not miss a B. It was very impressive. I had a hamburger and french fries, which was absolutely delicious. The restaurant was decorated beautifully. The parking was perfect ample parking.Enjoyed every minute of it. You can go wrong at this restaurant.

This pace deserves all the stars! Wait staff is friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, well groomed. The atmosphere is cozy and casual but still has that upscale feeling. Like an old yacht club. We have never had to wait for seating with our without a reservation. The alcoholic beverages are fantastic. I had a blueberry mojito, not on menu, it was perfect. The food is excellent I have loved everything on the menu. My favorite are the brussels sprouts, I get them every time. Ended with sweets and coffee. My favorite was the coconut cream pie. It was rich, creamy, and silky. The absolute best cream pie I've ever had. The gentleman I was with ordered the apple pie. It was loaded with layer upon layer of thin sliced apples. Both could be ordered and shared. The prices are high and the portions are small, except on the desserts and sides, but you are paying for taste and flavor when it comes to appetizers and main course.

I’ve been on the hunt for sticky toffee pudding ever since coming back from Scotland. And boy, did this one hit the spot!! We went for lunch on Monday, and this place was busy! While everyone seemed to be opting for salad, we felt decadent and ordered the lobster grilled cheese and mustang (? I think that’s what it’s called) chicken. Everything was fantastic. Our waitress was so kind and patient despite how demanding the crowd was. So happy to have stopped by finally!

Everything was top quality and our server Justin was very kind. It was our first time dining here and they took care of our desserts as courtesy. My husband and I had the lobster thermidor, it was complimented with grilled asparagus and a lobster potato mash. The sticky toffee pudding tasted heavenly, the mixture of saltiness from the toffee and sweet/creamy with the blue bell vanilla ice cream was such a perfect balance. The crème brûlée was creamy but not too sweet. If you have a chance to go to this place you should, I know I'll be coming back. Amazing food and amazing service :)

Went to Crappy’s Restaurant in San Antonio for lunch and had a really great experience. The food was delicious especially the sandwich, which was easily the highlight of the meal. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. On top of that, the service was absolutely top-notch friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. Overall, a very enjoyable lunch and definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re in San Antonio.

Sean was a great host. He was the perfect representative of Cappy's. Very welcoming and attentive service, he was well informed related to the various menu items. The food was delicious. I was very impressed with the dirty rice. The texture of the rice was perfect, the aroma of various herbs and spices excited you before you could taste a bite! The overall atmosphere encouraged you to stay. I look forward to my next visit. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Tell me why this is my favorite restaurant in the ‘09. Everything was amazing. We went during lunch and I ordered the lobster grilled cheese and fries. So happy we were able to grab a reservation. We sat outside on the patio. The oak trees create so much shade that sitting outside is no problem with the south Texas heat. I enjoyed the lobster grilled cheese sandwich. I would totally re-order this.. The Service was impeccable and the manager came by to check on us to see how things were going. That was a nice touch. We ordered the key lime pie for desert. The pie was absolutely phenomenal. Will definitely come back again, the whole ambience of the neighborhood is so great to see.

Cappy's is one of my favorite restaurants in San Antonio. They call themselves "casual fine dining", which is a great way to describe the experience. The ambiance and decor are casual and relaxed, but the service and food are stand-out. I have never had a dish or drink from here that I didn't love. Everything is high quality, and although the dishes are simple they are all executed well. Must-try dishes are the halibut and mustang chicken. We also recently tried the brussels sprouts with kimchi vinaigrette and crab cake, and both were amazing! Would recommend Cappy's for any occasion, from a celebration to a casual lunch.

Recommend: Yes. Highly suggest making a reservation. Food: I ordered the Mustang Chicken. It is a thin filet of Chicken (big piece though) on top of a mashed potatoes with a side of vegetables. There was also a sauce on top of the chicken filet. Family members ordered a ribeye which also came with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The rib eye was so juicy and tender. The vegetables were so delicious and flavorful. My chicken was so delicious. It was breaded, juicy, and savory, pairing well with the mashed potatoes. There was so much food that I had a meal for the next day. I highly recommend the Mustang Chicken. Service: The waitress was friendly and on top of the service. She made sure our drinks were never empty and checked on is several times. Ambiance: Althought the establishment has two floors it is small indoors, low lighting in the evening, making it feel intimate. There is seating outside for the warmer months.

Cappy's is a classic! They have both indoor and outdoor dining which I love. We decided to dine outside, but the mosquitos were biting us. The staff noticed and left to go buy us bug spray. We thought that was really above and beyond, thoughtful service! The food is always good here. I love their salads and recently tried their crab cake which was also delicious. We topped the night off with their warm chocolate cake that served with vanilla ice cream... you just can't go wrong with that combo! So delicious! Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a great dining experience, Cappy's is a great place to try!

Got the 'Mustang Chicken', and it was INCREDIBLE!!!!! I come from a culinary background, so I know good food. The crème brûlée was outstanding. My Hubby said he could have eaten 10 more! We had ours to go, so we can't speak for the service. The interior seems great though. Just view the pics...

First time ever to dine here. We both ordered entrees. Relaxed atmosphere, patio dining and indoor dining available. Brunch and entrees available. Lots of drinks to choose from: alcoholic to non alcoholic plus teas and lemonade. For the location it was priced reasonably.

Tbh I've been to Cappy's so many times since I discovered it about 3 years ago when I moved to the Broadway area. It feels like a magical haven and nothing like any other dining experience in SA. I have recommended it to countless others and it's an automatic choice to bring visitors. Everyone loves it. The food, drinks, and service are 10/10. Don't miss out on the dessert. I finally splurged on the surf and turf this weekend and I don't regret it! Pls never change, Cappy's.

While it's on the pricier side, the personalized attention and overall experience make it well worth it. The outdoor patio is especially awesome in the spring. It's hard to believe I've lived here all my life and have never been! I had the Redfish Pontchartrain, and it was a pleasant surprise. The subtle, sweet cinnamon flavor was unexpected but really nice, and they're generous with the lump crab on top, which is a big plus. For dessert, don't miss the Sticky Toffee Pudding. It's absolutely amazing! The interior is also thoughtfully done. It's not too loud, making it perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable meal.

Had dinner last night at one of our favorite restaurants in San Antonio. We had such a lovely waitress named Lola Grace. She was personable, attentive, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend the mustang chicken and sticky toffee pudding a la mode for dessert. Thank you Cappy's for another nice dinner. We will be back!

Years later and this place is still top-notch! My friends and I came for brunch and the service was wonderful- they were attentive but didn't rush us when we wanted to leisurely drink our cocktails and chat before ordering our meals. All of the food was fantastic and fresh. I will definitely be back as I want to try every drink and entree on the extravagant menu. This place is nice for a casual meetup or a dressed-up date night. There is something for everyone and they have gluten-free options.

All I can was everything was super delicious. We tried 3 different things. General manager stopped by and was super friendly. Was impressed!

While I've been to Cappycinos several times, I had never eaten at the original Cappys until recently, despite my son playing soccer with Cappy's son decades ago. There is no place more 09 than this place. It's where Alamo Heights people go for brunch or business meetings. Service is top-notch, and I never felt rushed as my friend and I lingered long after our yummy food was consumed.

St. Patty's Day lunch plans didn't pan out as expected but we made the most out of it by visiting @cappysrestaurant. The rain was starting to come down and the wait for sitting indoors was about an hour. Kyle, the manager, had us sit in the Cappycino's area instead. I appreciated him accommodating us. Alicia was our server. Dad had the Cranberry Lemonade, Hubby had a Mexican Mule, and I had the Brandy Punch. Dad and I shared the Ham & Cheese Omelet and Dad finished his portion. Glad he enjoyed! Hubby had the Homard, which was truffled scrambled eggs, lump crab, butter-poached cold water lobster tail. He shared a piece of the lobster and crab and soo good! Really reasonable for $29! Kyle checked on us a few more times. Really outstanding restaurant!

Ate there for a special dinner with my wife and Cappy's never disappoints!! Although crowded, service was efficient and friendly - Rhys did a great job! I had the paella and my wife had the rack of lamb. Her only comment was the choice of sides - the roasted veggies and the chorizo were tasty but she would have preferred a side with more moisture to compliment the lamb. She did say she would order it again. My paella was very good! We did the Oysters Rockefeller as an app and they were amazing. The toffee pudding was on point and would definitely order again - the portion was huge and easy to split between us. Highly recommend!!

Exceptional dinner at Cappy's Restaurant last night. From beginning to end, our server Marc Anthony was excellent, very knowledgeable, & attentive. The food was prepared well. Great presentation, very fresh & packed with flavor. I had the potato-crusted halibut with citrus beurre blanc and julienned vegetables, OMG it was soo delicious !! Went there specifically for this dish as they had shared it on their story and I was mesmerized by their post. Had to taste it and it did not disappoint. I ordered a strawberry lemonade and it was probably the best looking and best tasting lemonade I've had. The restaurant itself is very laid back while still remaining elegant. Perfect evening all around. Highly recommend this spot.

Hot tip: look at cafe hours, then make a reservation ahead of time. Come early, the place fills up quick. Fast service. Comfortable (cozy) environment. Delicious!!! All of it!!! I'll be back.

Food was excellent. The bread selections they give you during brunch complimentary are awesome. Muffins, scones, cornbread. Whipped fruit butter. Service was good too. Prices are reasonable for the quality

Cappy's was good af! I got the fish tacos and they slapped, my fav was the drinky drinky, it slapped too! Hoover made it knows what there doing it wasn't too sweet nor bland it was well balanced and refreshing. It's very chill vibes and a good place to catch us with friends would go back again!

Had a weekend dinner reservation for a special dinner and we were seated immediately at our reservation time. The food service was quick and tasty. The servers were very knowledgeable about the menu and the specials and they provided great recommendations. The cocktail I ordered was well balanced in delicious. So many great seafood options on the menu. We will be back.

Nice, quaint place. Our server was friendly, and the food came out fairly quickly since we got there at opening time. The food was good but just average.

Food only average. Special was dry and proper cutlery (serrated knife) not suppled. Tenderloin difficult to cot with butter knife and just fell apart and was dry and flavorless. Supplement to appetizer was brought after we finished entrée. Will not be back

4.8 STARS! What a place! I love Alamo Heights but never visited Cappys until today. We went for brunch. Reservations are always necessary I'm guessing due to the popularity. That's saying something. We started with an off menu Brussels and fried shrimp and oh man was that delicious. If you love brussel sprouts then this will be a treat. The fried shrimp was so crispy and the sauce makes everything so perfectly light yet perfectly rich in flavor. I personally ordered the HOMARD truffled scrambled eggs, lump crab, butter-poached cold water lobster tail. It was amazing! The Lobster was perfectly cooked and the scrambled eggs with crab scrambled in was so juicy and not over cooked. No need to add any salt as they were perfect from the start. The truffled sauce was oh so good! We ended with the bread pudding and that is a must try! Sided with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream this was the perfect ending to an amazing brunch. Enjoy! Ps: The only reason I couldn't give it five stars is because the margarita needed a 1/2 Oz more tequila and it was too sweet. I ordered two and both were too sweet. Taste it before sending it!

I had never been to Cappy's, even though I'd been born and raised in SA. Went today for brunch. It was excellent, from the service to the food to the setting. Our waiter Abel was cordial and attentive, never hovering but always knowing when to ask about refills. The Benedicts Royale and Ranchhand were delicious. Even the coffee was great, dark and mellow. Playing a good 90's playlist. It was almost full by the time we left, a testament to the quality. Glad I finally went, and will go again next time I'm in town- a perfect place to eat before shopping at Central Market.

I've been going here for years. Never disappoints. Service is amazing. The food is delicious and ambience is perfect for brunch or a romantic dinner.

I've always enjoyed the food and service at Cappy's. We came for a mother-daughter evening and decided to go with a few appetizers as our dinner. The wait person was nice enough to accommodate us with Cappyccino's Burrata when we asked about it. It was delicious!! We also decided to go with their market salad, the gulf shrimp with Brussel sprouts and the crab cake. We truly enjoyed them all. it was nice evening so we sat outside. The umbrellas have heating lamps which were turned on as the temps dropped. You really can't go wrong here. They've been around for years and it shows.

A friend and I had a lunch date at Cappy's, and I must say, reservations are a must - they are always bustling! We began with a glass of wine, specifically a Cote du Rhone and a Tito's and cranberry juice cocktail. The portions were quite satisfying. For starters, we chose a wedge salad, which turned out to be generously sized with crisp, fresh lettuce. My friend went for the shrimp salad. To conclude our meal, we opted for the coconut pie. While it looked tempting, it unfortunately fell short in terms of flavor; it was overly dense and dry. Personally, I prefer a creamier, custard-like consistency, which this dessert didn't quite offer. In fact, we didn't finish it because it didn't meet our expectations. On a positive note, the salads were absolutely delicious.

Quite possibly 1 of my favorite places to dine at. For years, strictly only getting the mustang chicken or a breakfast plate during their brunch. Off on a Saturday which is rare so we got to go eat lunch there. Although our server Ryan or Bryan seemed like he didn't want to be there that day and was not personable at all. We did not let that effect our visit. Tried the blackened chicken. It was awesome. Also a jumbo lump crab cake. Delicious. We also had the Thai beef. It was a decent salad. Pretty big. As usual, the food was amazing and if you have been you need to go.

After living in San Antonio for 10 years I'm ashamed to say I'm new to Cappys. It's a great neighborhood restaurant with fantastic food and ambiance. It reminded me of restaurants back home in the Hyde Park area of Cincinnati. Just good, fresh, well cooked food. My dish was fantastic and I ate every bite. Prices were reasonable and decor is quiet elegance. Can't wait to return.

Delicious food and great service. I ordered the Mustang Chicken and Poinsettia Mimosa and it was so good!

Excellent food and the service was great, everything was delicious. The place was nice and clean, we had a good view

Came for our 29th anniversary brunch, the service experience wasn't as fantastic as our first. Had I not known about the delicious little muffins with strawberry butter they gave us before, I wouldn't have known to ask for them! Our server was probably new but everyone had them on their tables! The ambiance is always very nice, we sat inside but noticed the little fly fans outside which was very nice. Here's what we had: -Kale salad:3/5 the kale needed massaging and a little more dressing- it was very 'raw' -the burger- my husband loved the burger buns- they are the only bread they don't make themselves-it's a dense sourdough bun 4/5 -cup of gumbo 2/5- the roux was especially salty. It is a New Orleans style gumbo that is very meat based. I like my food heavily seasoned but this took it a little too far!

Hungry after walking the LightScape exhibit at the Botanical Gardens, I pop into Cappy's for a late dinner. I haven't been to Cappy's in quite a while so I'm looking forward to the experience. The interior is still basically the same, a rustic, comfy lodge type feel which is nice on a chilly night. After reviewing the menu, I start off with the Rose Manhattan cocktail and an order of the shrimp nachos. For the main course, I go with the salmon which comes with lobster mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side but I substitute the crispy brussels sprouts in place of the asparagus. The Rose Manhattan comes out first and is simply refreshing. It tastes nothing like a classic Manhattan but in a good way. The mix of rye whiskey with compari, grand marnier, honey, orange, and bitters makes for a smooth drink that is not too sweet and just boozy enough. Me likey. Next, the shrimp nachos come out and consists of six individual servings. Each serving comes on a crispy tortilla chip, topped with chopped onions, tomato, manchego cheese, and a jalepeno slice which is just out of the oven and held together by the melted cheese. It is delicious and makes for a tasty appetizer. I can only imagine what they would taste like with grilled / blackened shrimp....it would be insane but I digress. My salmon main course comes out and it is plated beautifully. The fish it grilled a perfect medium rare and is moist and flaky. The lobster mashed potatoes are also excellent with small chunks of lobster mixed in...yummy. To add a punch of flavor I substituted the asparagus for the crispy brussels sprouts and glad I did. They are grilled in a balsamic glaze that adds a flavor profile the asparagus can't and adds that little zip to take it over the top. On a roll now, I decide to go for broke and order dessert and a nightcap, so I go with the chocolate cake a la mode and an Old Fashioned Egg Nog. The chocolate cake has a topping of pecans that I wasn't expecting but much appreciated as I love pecans. The cake was served warm with a side of vanilla ice cream. The cake is moist and fluffy while the chocolate icing was light and creamy. The ice cream was good and made for a nice companion. The Old Fashioned Egg Nog is a more of an egg nog drink with bourbon added versus and Old Fashion with egg nog added if that makes sense. Either way, it was very tasty and not too sweet and paired well with the chocolate cake. Overall, it has been way too long since I've been to Cappy's but rest assured that won't happen again. The food and service were both excellent and I'll be back soon, real soon.

Excellent restaurant, perhaps one of the best burger places in SAT. My wife had the fish and it was delicious. Great service and fairly reasonable price.

I ate here with my family after my college graduation and have never forgotten how tasty my meal was. I had a delicious wedge salad, and a flounder dish with a side of parsnips/veggies. I had no issues with service and I like the ambience both inside and outside.

Service was excellent! We had Sean as our server, he provided excellent recommendations for food and drink. We ordered the a cranberry lemonade. It was so refreshing! Like summer in a glass. Okay, you got me...I ordered a second one. We decided to split a wedge salad. Sean brought it out already cut in half for us. The hubby had salmon with lobster mash. He cleaned his plate. I chose the fish tacos with fries. The tortillas were on the stiff side but the fish was good. All in all we had a nice time. We were seated quickly, the food didn't take long but seemed fresh and the atmosphere was pleasant.

I LOVE Cappy's! It's one of my favorite hidden gem restaurants. It's literally tucked away in a small shopping center surrounded by trees. They always have well-prepared, delectable dishes. I've been many times and am always trying something different & love it all. I also love their shrimp nachos!

Cappy's is an establishment in San Antonio. Consistency is king at this fine dining but slightly casual restaurant on Broadway. The shrimp nachos were divine, a must order perhaps. I ordered the kale salad and added salmon, and it was a generously sized filet. The portions were perfect, if not slightly large. I love when I physically can't join clean plate club. Otherwise, great service either way and excellent attention to detail. Genuinely loved Cappy's!

Cons: - The ribeye I ordered was not good. It seemed it was microwaved or it was steam cooked. There was absolutely zero crust. I also ordered it cooked as medium and got a medium rare. You may have thought the ribeye couldn't get any worse but you would be wrong. They also threw on a bunch of muck on TOP of the ribeye. It seemed like tomato purée and it wasn't good. This was definitely the worst ribeye I have ever had. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT ORDER THE RIBEYE! - The music was very random. Middle: - I also ordered an Mac and cheese which was ok. Pros: - The cranberry lemonade is pretty good - The salmon with the mashed potatoes and lobster was also good. (Mainly the salmon) - The sticky toffee pudding was phenomenal definitely recommend trying, if you don't you're missing out. (Not better than Hell's Kitchen sticky toffee pudding in Las Vegas) - The jumbo crab cakes were good - Michael our waiter had great service. Suggestion for the restaurant: A good steak can stand alone on its own without purée or sauces. I recommend you put that tomato purée thing on the side.

Let's start with the Old Fashioneds. Very good!!! Loved the cherry in it!! The only criticism is that mine was not filled as much as another one. My husband said the gumbo was the best he has had anywhere!! I had the daily soup which was Sweet Chili. It had a few chunks of beef, beans that made me think they were pork and beans (but they worked great) along with onions and a bit of pasta. I quite enjoyed it. I ordered the Paella. The shrimp, mussels and scallops were cooked to perfection. The risotto was a little too cheesy for paella. The Beef Medallion was tender, flavorful and cooked correctly. The polenta was just okay. Our server was very good and attentive. When he found out that it was our first visit, he let us know dessert was on the house. Since there were four of us, we got two desserts on the house. We got the Warm Chocolate Cake which was very good. My husband ate most of it and he is not a dessert person so that should tell you something. The other dessert was Bread Pudding which was delicious. This restaurant has been around since 1977!!! So many more great entrees to try!!!

My oh my! Easter brunch was a gastronomical delight! From the moment you walk in til the moment you leave, Cappy's does everything right! The servers are perfect.. The food is fantastic (those were my scrumptious lamb chops in the pic I attached). The ambience is amazing. I don't know what more can be said. Every single person in our large party absolutely loved their drinks and food. I cannot wait to go back!!!

This place is incredible! The food is hands down the best I've ever had. I could eat here every day!

Always enjoy my experience here. Love the classic menu items as well as the specials, especially seafood specials. Even the burgers are excellent. Professional staff, cozy ambiance and great wine list all add to the pleasure.

Everything here is Excellent!! The menu is so diverse and the daily offerings are paired so well. You get a lot of food and so much to savor for such a reasonable price. The patio is great and the drinks are super. Their service is exceptional and they treat you with class Can't forget dessert!

I've wanted to go eat at Cappy's for a few years and just never went.... What a mistake! We made reservations a week in advance for a Saturday, got to the hostess she had our reservation and we were sat immediately. Our waitress came right away and explained the menu and the days specials for us and took our drink and app orders. The drinks and apps were brought out quickly my wife ordered the Espresso Martini which I tasted! and it was awesome just sweet enough and a good amount of alcohol! I got the Vodka Smash, WOW it's very citrusy with a good amount of vodka very good!! We also ordered the crab cake which was different to me (I'm from Maryland) but it was great! Had lots of crab meat, chipotle aioli, lime cream, and guacamole! My wife ordered the Gumbo, it was very tasty lots of seafood and it was warm and comforting! We then ordered our entree's and more drinks of course! Our entrees arrived quickly! I ordered the Chilean sea bass and dang was it good!! Cooked perfectly and with the potato crust and citrus beurre blanc it was just amazing! My wife ordered the Beef Tenderloin and a lobster tail! The tenderloin was so tender and cooked perfectly, the lobster tail was def the start of the show! Cooked perfectly and served with an awesome butter sauce. Finally we ordered some dessert, we got the Raspberry Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée, and it was as delicious as it sounds!! Great atmosphere, wonderful staff and outstanding food! We'll definitely be going back to try other menu items!!

One of our favorite brunch places in town. Cute and spacious area. Service is great. Their made in house bread is delicious- a little too sweet, but perfect with some coffee. I've tried their mimosa and peach sangria, both amazing. Their crab cake entree never disappoints. Although may look small portion, it's filled with crab meat! My husband tried homars and Ranchhand Benedict in the past- they were both excellent flavors. Highly recommend to locals and the newcomers to the city!

Outstanding cocktail menu with even more incredible food options and flavors! The decor is quaint and reservations are recommended as they fill up quickly in the evening! The White Peach Sangria was extremely refreshing with delicious flavor! Colleague and I both ordered the Mustang Chicken and devoured EVERYTHING! Our server was sweet and brought us a side of the Lemon Pepper Chips made in house that I obsessed over on my last visit, before our food came...my colleague loved them as much as I do. The Mustang Chicken is the whole package and I will absolutely be returning to get it again! The chicken is crispy on a perfect blend of mashed potatoes and vegetables. We couldn't pinpoint the ingredients in the mustang sauce but loved it! Highly recommend overall!

Great food with unusual twists! Attentive service and in a comfortable setting. Hadn't been in years. Still a great choice!

Great food and service. Prices are very reasonable!! It is one of our new "go to" places

My first time to Cappy's was a very enjoyable evening out. The service and food are very good but the ambiance is a standout. The smallish restaurant has an intimate feel that is sometimes lost in more modern designed restaurants. I'm told that the establishment is a San Antonio staple and the results support the claim. I will definitely return.

We went for a friends birthday Saturday for brunch and drinks .... Food was great and service absolutely fabulous!! It's such a cute restaurant with beautiful outdoor seating which would be perfect in the cooler weather.
