Excellent service, good food, clean. Little on the pricier side, extra meat was $4 if I remember correctly.

First time at this dinner and it was wonderful! We will be back. The hot turkey, mashed gravy is AMAZING! Tasty French dip too. If you are looking for a diner with the good, traditional diner food, here is your place.The social distancing was well placed and all the staff wore their masks.

I have been a fan of Capital City since I used to go to the Ambrosia in Catskill. Four generations of my family have been fans. The food is great and the service is friendly and quick. when ever we say lets got to the dinner there is no question where we mean. Its Capital City all the way.

This is the best diner in the whole capital region. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is as well. If you're looking for an authentic, delicious Gyro, then look no further. I truly believe that you can judge a diner on it's Gyro quality alone, and this idea is once again held true by this wonderful restaurant. You get restaurant quality food and service, with diner prices. You can never go wrong at this establishment.

Food was alright and the waitresses are very friendly. Everything on the breakfast menu is around 8-12 dollars and there's definitely no shortage of options. The omelets come with two slices of buttered toast and home fries. The taste isn't spectacular but it's worth what you paid for.

Highly recommend this diner. Care was taken to prepare and cook my dinner. The matzo ball soup was delicious to start with and the fried haddock with wedged French fries were cooked perfectly. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

Came here on a Saturday around 1 for lunch. Seated immediately, really friendly service. Our waitress seemed to wander a bit, but we got everything we asked for. I got the pizza burger and although it was cooked perfectly, it was a weird concept. I liked it, but wouldn't order it again. The brownie sundae was huge and we shared it 4 ways.

Probably my favorite diner of all. The food is surprisingly good, the prices are cheap, and even the service is good here compared to pretty much every diner I've ever been to. The desserts look really tasty when you walk in too. It's great that this place is in town!

This diner was featured during an episode of House Hunters! This diner has a retro flare with super accommodating and friendly staff. While not all meals are A1, most are super big portions and decently priced. The desserts are nice and so is the bowl of Matzoh ball soup.

I have to say how very disappointed I was with my experience on Saturday, March 7, 2020. I travel a lot to Albany for business and on this day I was meeting a client. I am a tea drinker. I ordered a cup of tea and I received 1 Lipton tea bag and a small carafe of not overly hot water. My client ordered coffee. When you order coffee you get free refills. When you order tea you are charged $2.19 per tea bag. Now I do don’t claim to be a mathematician but in the grocery store I know that a box of 100 tea bags are at the most $5 and some change, so doesn’t that make it a little over 5 cents per bag? So for 2 cups of tea it cost me $4.38 and my client had 3 cups of coffee for $2.19. I will give them credit that the breakfast was good but I will be finding another place to have breakfast so I can enjoy a couple cups of tea, hopefully at least a couple choices besides just Lipton, without feeling that I was discriminated against for not being a coffee drinker.
