Great little restaurant. Nothing about "fast food" here, and that is really good. This restaurant reminds me of places my parents used to take me back in the 1950's. Nothing fancy, just very good food at reasonable prices. We've driven up here from Cincinnati 3 times in the last year and we always look forward to coming back!

Such a fantastic dive - food is exactly what you'd expect: consistent and plentiful. Surprised by the Wednesday Special. Spend $10 and get a slice of their ahhhmazing peanut butter pie or a cinnamon roll. TBH I really went there for the pie! Ended up with the fish dinner. Fried fish better than most places, too many fries (but you just have to try to eat them all anyway) and minced Cole slaw. It's the perfect slaw for a southern hot dog, but that's not on the menu. Pie went home with me.

I wondered what the hype was all about and initially felt it was just the lack of competition since this is a dive diner in the middle of nowhere. When we first walked in I thought "this is it?" The parking lot was full, but the seating section was tiny and felt very old school. It turns out there are two dining areas. You have to walk between the kitchen and the cash register to get to the bigger half. We'll try that next time because the smaller section felt cramped.The food is decent, the prices are great, and the portions are huge so the budget-friendly convenience for the hungry people could be the draw. That's why we will be back and it's also why I'm giving them four stars even though the quality of the food and atmosphere would usually only give them three from me. I do appreciate a good value when I'm feeling too lazy to cook.The burgers were recommended to us, and who doesn't love a good burger! They are smash burgers and they are huge! Too big to pick up because the burger extended way beyond the bun. We used forks to whittle them down until we could pick them up. They were flavorful and cooked perfectly.I wish someone had told me how HUGE the sides are. We absolutely could have shared an order of tots. It's big enough to feed your whole family. We also enjoyed the cheese curds, but again, huge portion. Next time we'll split the fried mushrooms.Side note, we wanted to order another cheap beer and dessert, but the server never came back so we gave up and left, after paying the bill at the counter.

Came here on a busy friday night. I expected to have some kind of wait. Unfortunately, it took 90 minutes to get our food after ordering. 90 minutes for burgers and fries.... Waitresses checked for refills one time in that 90 minutes. When the food finally came out, everything was about room temperature or colder. Also, the waitresses were bringing food out where the bottom of a plate was stacked on top of food. It's definitely not the most sanitary way to do it, considering what the plates were sitting on before coming out. I've been here a couple of times in the past and would suggest this place to family and friends. Last night has me rethinking returning and referrals.Rod's, you can do better than this. It was unacceptable.

It was absolutely disgusting. Everything we ordered was nasty, bugs were crawling on the wall and on the ceiling, food everywhere on the table was dirty. I had to ask her to clean it before she laid down the menu. The pictures on Facebook are fake because nothing looks good. Just imagine the worst place you could ever eat and that's where it is.

This place doesn't look like much from the outside but definitely a hidden little gem of a sandwich shop. Food was served fast and portions were huge, all the sandwiches are easily shareable by 2. Fried apps were delicious and food came out quickly! Star of the show for us was the double ham and cheese.

We've passed this place a few times on a our way to Cowan Lake to do some camping. This time we made a point of making this a camping meal. I picked up a to go order and we ate our burgers at the camper. First, the amount of fries you get is over the top. And the burgers. Yea. I'm not a burger person. I never order burgers when I eat out. After reading the reviews I decided to break this habit. We will be ordering from Capricorn Inn EVERY time we camp in the area and I will get the burger EVERY time. Food was hot, fries crispy. Worth a drive to this spot!

If you can find the place you're in for some good food and good prices. I didn't understand how they have a restaurant way out in the middle of nothing and how it does so well. The service was friendly, portions beyond generous and reasonable prices. For some reason I had a cash convenience charge of $1.75. The price quickly went up with that nonsense charge, $3.00 to put cheese on the french fries, and ticky-tack charges. When I left, I let out some farts and pulled them back Inn.

Local dive spot. All American food with a friendly down home atmosphere. Crowded on a Saturday. Juke box for some fun. Friendly servers but slow service. One reco: please get the servers some trays to carry the food so they don't have to stack plates on top of other peoples food.
