Welcome to Capital City Chop House! For decades, the Chop House has obsessed over one thing: quality. We start with the best steaks, seafood and chops we can find, cook them exactly to your liking, then inspect every plate twice before serving you. At every turn, we pay special attention to the details. It’s these little details that all melt together to make a truly extraordinary meal. We believe premium ingredients are only as good as the chefs who prepare and cook them. We also believe a legendary menu falls flat without legendary service to serve it up. So whether it’s a business lunch, happy hour or date night, join us for a bona fide meal made the right way — all in an atmosphere where you can relax and be yourself.Capital City Chop House sits right outside of Raleigh, making it easily accessible from most places in the Triangle. It’s within striking distance of Research Triangle Park, and is just a stone’s throw from RDU Airport.

    Lucky 32 in Cary never disappoints. The food was excellent and the service was top notch. We had a drink as we were celebrating an occasion and we weren't rushed. When we did place our order, the meal was served quite quickly and was hot. Both plates were delicious

    What a wonderful dining experience. From our circular booth and view of the kitchen, to our fantastic waitress who walked us through the menu and option, this place gave us the best Italian experience. Meatball appetizer is the best I’ve had, the calamari was so light and fresh, and the steamed mussels had just the right amount of spice to make the broth mouth watering. The 15 layer lasagna is such a delight, and the truffle noodles was the star of the night. Just love the ambiance. What a great date night. Thank you all for giving us a great night!

    I have eaten here several times and the experience has always been great. That is, presentation, food, service, atmosphere, etc. This is one of my favorite go to restaurants in Raleigh. I highly recommend a visit, but be sure to make reservations.
