I used to love this place. Im not sure but i feel like it has a new owner since the pandemic. They used to have a different sign out front that had some kind of downstairs greek restaurant. Now the new sign just says capitol cafe and it says all new menu. The food previously was very good. I loved their cherry topped waffle. And they had really good french fries. NOT ANYMORE. Coated fries - yuck. They did have a couple of very interesting waffles on the menu. I tried one with fire roasted apples, walnuts, and caramel sauce. My wife had something else which was good but it came with toast. One slice was basically untoasted, the other burnt. So they brought her two more. Also burnt. A third try brought more burnt toast. She will NOT go back. I would for a waffle or a slice of lemon meringue pie. Hopefully the pie is as good as it was under prevous owner. I didn't have room to try it. So i would give it 4 stars except for the fries and toast issue. Restaurant is large, clean, and has plenty of free parking. Menu is GREATLY Reduced since they are no longer open for dinner. They used to have an incredible menu. Lack of dinner hours and menu reductions are a disappointment for me. They do have a friday fish fry but haven't tried it and probably won't since the fries are a disappointment. And they need to fix their toaster.

Came on a Friday evening for the fish fry. Service was quick and we were in and out under and hour. Had the beer batter cod with potato pancakes, a salad, and apple sauce. They even gave us maple syrup for the potato pancakes. The fish was flakey, tender and breading was delicious. Pancakes were crispy and flavorful. Would definitely come back to try out breakfast too.

Nice little breakfast joint in Brookfield. Seems very popular with local senior crowd.....kinda place where one could easily become a "regular."Prices seem ok but with recent inflation, it's hard to tell. What is obvious is that portion sizes are large. The hash browns were a bit too crunchy (which is better than not crispy), and the corn beef was a tad too salty ergo, lost 1 star. The pancakes were fluffy and came with a nice mini-pitcher of syrup.Service was friendly and homey and prompt.

We stopped here on a Saturday at 1045am. They were busy , but still had a few tables available. Service was excellent. After we were seated, a gentleman came over with water and asked if we would like coffee. I had the Greek skillet, it comes with toast or pancakes. I choose the pancakes. I was expecting 2 small thin cakes, but received 2 large , thick pancakes. Served with warm syrup. The Greek skillet came with a side of Tzatziki. My wife had the Veggie skillet with sourdough toast. Everything we had was delicious. I see why they are always busy. Priced was fair as were the portions. I can't wait to go back.

Come hungry, and expect leftovers! While the prices are a little high, the service sizes are MASSIVE. We went for brunch around 10:30, and it was pretty quiet. Service was really quick. The restaurant is dated, the tables and decor are definitely older. The food is on par with other mid-tier brunch places in the Milwaukee area.

HORRENDOUS OWNER AND RESTAURANT MANAGERI recently visited Capitol Café and while the experience started off well, it quickly soured because of one major issue: the manager and owner.Let me start by saying the food was good, and our server was absolutely fantastic. They were attentive, friendly, and quick. We felt taken care of, and honestly, they saved the day. Unfortunately, our experience took a turn when we had an interaction with the manager and owner.When we went to pay, we encountered a problem. The debit/credit card machine stopped working. We tried several times, but the manager stated he had been having the issue all morning. This was at about 11:00am. There was no sign saying it was cash only and the manager was dismissive and beyond rude. Instead of comping the meal or even providing a large discount so that we could pay with the cash we had on hand, the manager demanded we go to an ATM or come back with cash before 3:00pm to pay our bill. We do not live just down the road. There was no apology from him either. I told him to speak to the owner because this was not our fault, and I did not want to drive to an ATM and pay a fee to take out money since it was THEIR machine that wasn't working for any customer. He told me to give him the name of any restaurant that would give a large discount and/or comp for this type of issue because "none will" according to him. I couldn't believe how unprofessional and cold the manager and owner were. I was appalled! I'm not the type of person to leave my bill unpaid, so I drove to an ATM. I was beyond livid at how I was treated by both of them for a problem that was the restaurant's fault.It's a shame, really, because the food and our server were both great. I used to be a regular customer as well. The manager and owner really left a bad taste in my mouth, and I will not be returning as long as they're running the show.To the server: you were amazing, and you definitely deserve better than that! You've been there for many years and I hope you leave soon.

The new menu is ridiculous! Did anyone spellcheck? The font is small, the prices on some foods are listed incorrectly and the spelling is off. And most of the Greek options are gone, for those who come here for that. It's just an old-fashioned greasy spoon now. Sad to see.

We haven't been there for breakfast in over a year but we gave it a try yesterday. My eggs benedict was served on a toasted hamburger bun, not an English muffin , and my husband's omelette was dry and toasty brown yet there was water on the plate. The only good thing was the pancake but needless to say we won't be going back.

Super sad to say but we have loved coming here over the years and in the past few months it's just not been the same. Came for breakfast this morning most of the food was cold and my husband had a black hair in his food. The waitress was very apologetic but unfortunately we all lost our appetite and basically had thrown away all three of our breakfasts.
