Old Capitol Grill

I made a reservation and requested a specific table one month before my spouses birthday. I was called 3 hours before dinner to be informed that our table was not available. We used to dine there frequently but will never return for a special or any other occasion. The lack of concern was also a turn off. We went to Steak House Ten instead and had an amazing dinner and were treated like royalty. more

You would usually have to travel to a junior high school cafeteria to get food of this caliber. Their food supplier is no doubt the same company that supplies the state?s correctional facilities as the food has all the flavor of institutional grade grub. The beer menu is equally terrible consisting primarily of coors products. It?s a shame that this restaurant is so bad because it?s in a nice location in the heart of Golden. About the only positive comment that can be made about this establishment is that it is very dog friendly, allowing 4 leggers in the outdoor seating areas. more

It's ok... If you're looking for a big, tasty burger, fries, a beer and you have some hungry kids, this place totally rocks. The historic location is sure to intrigue and you'll have to keep your kids from playing in the old vault. more

We went here 1 year ago and had a bad experience. The thick meatloaf my husband had ordered was barely 1/2"". We did complain about that and we got a coupon for $30.00 off our next meal. We never really wanted to go back but why waste this coupon? We went last month and I ordered ribs, something I never order in a restaurant. They were tough and tasted like they had cooked them yesterday, and were dried out and tasteless. Pros: Nicely decorated place Cons: Rotten ambiance, food is horrible, service is soso more

If you want a good Bloody Mary, DON?T order one at the Old Capital Grill in Golden. When I asked our waitress how they were, she said great. Apparently she has never had a Bloody Mary?it was thin, weak, watery, pale, anemic looking even! The celery salt was overpowering. I had to fish the olive out with my fork, as well as the huge piece of tough celery that was 2 inches shorter than the glass. Cons: Inattentive staff more

We have tried the Old Capitol Grill a few times, each time hoping and wanting a good experience. Sadly, we have always been let down. The food, no matter how simple, has been horrible. The service has always left something to be desired, and the atmosphere is lacking. If you are coming to Golden, try New Peach Garden (across the street and downstairs), Table Mountain Inn, or Ali Baba's. Pros: Inviting space, but that disappears once you enter Cons: Food, service and atmosphere more

Two years ago the place was nearly destroyed by fire and certain death would have been the best outcome. But like a bad dream there would be a reincarnation. Instead of a fresh approach that should have included a new and creative chef, an interesting atmosphere and the opportunity to be something different, the path of least resistance was chosen. Just like the first go around, the food at the Old Capital Grill tastes just like it?s name; antiquated and tasteless. I have tried many times to give this restaurant another chance by literally dragging myself thru the front door for at least eight years. I have tried a handful of items on the menu and everything has the same flavor - wet cardboard. Even a hamburger (which any restaurant can cook) can?t be served at this establishment without putting it on a crumbling and stale bun. The only thing you can count on is cold beer from the Coors brewery - just like every other establishment that is within minutes of the historic location. Thank God for The Golden City Brewery, The Briarwood and McDonalds. Pros: The cold beer Cons: Only Coors products more
