   We usually go here every time I come to Boston and it’s normally pretty good. Last night it wasn’t. The lobster bisque came out lukewarm warm. The burger bun was stale and hard. I asked for well done fries and they came out cold and not crispy at all. Top it off with slow service (there were maybe 3 tables, so not busy) and a broken milkshake machine. Next time we’ll just go to Shake Shack. At least it will be consistent.

   My family and I went to dinner on a Sunday night to celebrate my birthday. We all enjoyed our appetizers, meals and desserts. We started with the wings, calamari, and the clam chowder. My husband said the chowder was a 7 out of 10. For dinner I had the Capital Burger which I loved! My sons had the chicken sandwich and the bacon cheeseburger- both very good. My husband had the steak sandwich and also enjoyed it. Our server was great. Overall, a lovely dinner.

   The burgers were delicious, fresh and flavorful, but the menu didn’t offer many options. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing: our server was slow and never offered a refill for our drinks. Overall, great food but poor service.

   Great quality service and food! The staff was friendly, efficient, and attentive. Sat outside, and was concerned about the street noise, but being below street level, made for a wonderful experience.

   Another great meal at Capital Burger. This is one of our “go to” places when we visit Boston. Highly recommend the pretzel appetizer and the shakes are delicious. The staff is very friendly.

   The front desk lied about availability and said the restaurant was fully booked when it was empty. I booked on OpenTable. The server upsold a middling burger doused in cheese despite me saying I didn’t care for a lot of cheese, forgot to check in and never refilled my water. Mostly though it’s a very expensive forgettable burger so I was disappointed about that more than the weird lackluster service.
