Great Burgers

by Katmar

I'm really surprised at so many negative reviews. El Cap makes a great homemade burger. I think too many people have gotten used to fast food burgers and don't know a good burger when they get one. They are juicy, not greasy, the way a burger should be. They remind me of how burgers tasted when I was a kid before frozen patties were used most places. El Cap may not be the prettiest restaurant around, but it is very atmospheric. Just to clarify for all of you tourists who think Floridians don't know good food, I have visited every state in this country (and 6 continents). I know good food and El Cap has always been good when I've been there. If you don't like Florida food, I would suggest that you vacation elsewhere!

Best Burgers!!

by mandipandi15

This little hole in the wall was a great date! My hubby and I are foodies, I will admit this. So, when he took me here I was apprehensive. The waitress was so nice and the burgers were just how we wanted them and the flavor was wonderful. A definite must!!

• Pros: The waitstaff is friendly and food is great
• Cons: Stuffed Jalapinos

El Cap El Cheapo??

by Kellyp

I have gone to El caps for over 30 years and today was my last visit. Each time the burger gets smaller and the price gets larger. They actually now charge for lemon slices 25 cents with your over priced drink ( no free refills)!! When we went to pay our tab we were told they could not split the check, we all had $20 dollar bills and we were told they could not make change for us, they did not have cash available.. Is this a business with no petty cash to break change for $60.

When we asked for Mary jane the owner she never the waitress told us she is the one who would not give us change!! She never appeared and almost 10 minutes later the waitress appeared with change for all of us!! I know times are hard but they are going to get harder for this place. They forgot the most important part of business, Customer service.. That is what will keep the truly good places going, they will not last much longer sad to say at this rate.. We all vowed to never return and we will just support our first love Chattaways even more,they rock!!

• Pros: Local hangout
• Cons: Item charges No split checks No change
