Editorial Review for El Cap – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
A family-owned and run business for more than 24 years, this local legend grinds its own hamburger meat daily. The casual restaurant holds about a 100 hungry visitors. There are 18 TVs inside and fans and TVs outside. Big, juicy burgers come with loads of fixings such as tomato and lettuce. Chicken wings, coleslaw and french fries come highly recommended, but the burgers top local polls consistently.

What a disappointment. We have been going here for years and it WAS the best....NO MORE. Burger with everything and fries, how hard could that be? The meat was grey in the center and tasted like the stuff you got back in school. Full of cereal. The fries were limp and barely warm. We asked what the deal was and the waitress said the cook told her they got he lowest fat beef you could buy. So much for the guy who said the beef was hand ground daily. They also use to have great fries about ten years ago but decided to cut the cost and get some cheap ka-ka. One of the long time waitress told us when we inquired. Then when a reviewer was sitting next to us, the owner told he waitress to give the reviewer 'the good' fries. They have only gotten worse. We will NOT be back or will we send people there like we use to. McDonald's is better...ICK.
Pros: Beer
Cons: It looks like people are on work release

What a joke. Forget the hype. This dirty little grease pit has lousy service, lousy hamburgers and charges for refills. Oh, and the fries are nasty as well. And don't get me started on the cleanliness (or lack of) in this place. Its a shame people just believe the hype and eat there actually thinking those hamburgers are good! Babalu, Chattaways and Toojays (yes, I am not kidding) have much better burgers.
