Checked Capital Ale out on a co-workers recommendation. Great selection of beer, both bottle and on tap. Menu was quite good and the burger and stuffed pretzel were tasty. Atmosphere is great. Only drawback was the completely average service. Forgot to order an appetizer and never saw the waiter between the time we ordered and our main course arriving.

Right in the heart of historic Fredricksburg. Outstanding beer selection - draft and bottled. Food is par for the course in a brew pub - better than most, tho'.

If I go somewhere and the food is ok and the beer is great but the service is awful, I give it another shot. My second trip to Capital Ale House proved even worse than the first time.

We had the crab deviled eggs, ring of fire burger, lamb burger; the food beer and drink were very good. We were going to get desert, however our waitress never came back to our table even when we flagged her. The manager finally gave us our bill after 20 minutes of waiting.

After a six month deployment to the Middle East, this was my husband's choice for first meal back in the States, and it definitely lived up to his expectations. Great food, service, friendliness, value -- need I say more? The managers stopped by when they heard about my husband, and comp'ed his meal as well. If you're not sure where... More
