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.

First and last visit. Basic. Overcooked steaks and seafood. Baked Brie and bang bang shrimp appetizers were great and so were the rolls and mushroom soup. Everything else not so good.

Very heavy on the salt. Sauce for scallops was super salty and coming from someone who loves salt, it was just too salty. The brussel sprouts were the consistency of baby food. They appeared to be crispy, but they were soggy and mushy. My husband ordered a steak medium rare and it was medium well. The best was the appetizer with Brie cheese, honey, and sliced apples. That was the best thing we ate there. After our food was delivered and the waiter finally came to check on us after we started eating, I told him the scallops are very salty and he had the audacity to tell me he could change my meal had I not eaten 2 of the 6 salty scallops. How would I have known if I did not eat them? Well, when you do not stop back by after about 15-20 minutes, what did he expect? He did not offer to substitute or offer something different. I did not know it was my fault that the chef(s) did not cook the meal well. I asked for greens beans to be substituted for the brussel sprouts and he did do that but not until I asked. There were about 4 tables that needed to be in private room as they were all together and extremely loud. I was unable to even have a conversation with my husband. I would have expected a manager to intervene and ask them to be more courteous but that did not happen either. There were many other patrons there trying to enjoy their meals also and this place just has no class about them or care about their customers. Needless to say, I'll take myself elsewhere. It was a lot of money for what it was. Don't waste your money here as there are a lot of other fine restaurants in the area that supercedes this place.

We have been several times, this was the first time in a period of time, was our most disappointing experience. We waited 30 minutes for our initial cocktail. We were not told that the anchovies to the Caesar salad were an up charge, the scallop add on to the prime ribs or drenched in sauce and dad and additional $25 for three scallops was disappointing. Onion rings greasy and soggy. Staff very nice.

What a disappointing experience. This used to be a solid choice for a great business meal experience, but not anymore. I will not take client or employees to the Chop House again. First, after arriving 15min early - on a reservation I had booked 3 weeks in advance- I was told to wait in the bar (no problem). At our reservation time, I returned to the host station where I was told it would be 15 more minutes to wait. When I reminded her of our reservation her manager told her to sit us in the bar area. So on a 3+ week reservation we were forced to sit in the bar and not the dining room. Then our server did not know the menu items and had to return to the kitchen to get our steak questions answered. My client order the iron steak however it was served cold and the other meal was luke warm (it had been sitting). The server (a new one because of original server disappeared leaving us to flag down anyone who walked by for drink refills) returned the steak and brought a new one. It was a pitiful excuse for a $50 steak. They “comped” a dessert (a tiny slice of pie) for the cold steak and delayed service. To cap things off, the staff was pushing us to pay our bill, visiting our table 4 times in 15 min to pick up our credit card. Applebee’s provides better service. Overall, it was a terrible experience and I highly recommend conducting business dinners elsewhere in RDU. Opentable should question being associated with such a place.
