The food is always excellent here! The wings and burger are my favorite! Especially the honey rocket wings. The meat they use for the burgers is excellent and I believe they get it from Hemps meat market. They are short staffed and considering that they still do an excellent job! I always know ahead of time what I want so I place my order immediately and it’s about a 20 minute wait. They have handled many birthday dinners for my family and yes it takes 20-40 min for the food with that size group, but we would still go even with the wait. Love the staff, they are super friendly!

One of the go to places for great food and good people in Frederick !! Give them a try you will not be sorry. Just remember good fresh made food takes a little longer so order an appetizer. They are great.

The first time I tried going to Capital Crave I left because I thought it was a part of the VFW. After talking with someone they said it's not a part of the VFW and I should definitely try them. I'm happy I tried Capital Crave again. (You act like you're going to the VFW but use the door on the right) CC did not disappoint! We did dinner before a movie. We got seated quickly. Our waitress was very friendly. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. Two subs, 2 beers and a soda for $35. We sat outside and basically had the whole outdoor dining area all to ourselves. We ordered the Italian cold cut which came with regular fries. I like how they seasoned them with Old Bay and the cheeseburger sub with potato wedges. All the meat CC uses is from The Mt. Airy Meat Locker and you can tell! 🤤 #shoplocal Since I know Capital Crave isn't a part of the VFW and has terrific food, I will be back!

I go to Capital Crave when I want wings, full stop. They’re always cooked perfectly and their sauces are all made in house. The real proving grounds for me are whether I use dipping sauce, which I haven’t since I started coming here. Every flavor I’ve tried has been perfect. They aren’t over sauced and you can really tell they’re made in house. Other big stand out is their potato skins. We crushed those so the pic is of the one lone spud. 😆 I’ve ordered from here at least four times now and it’s always been amazing.

We had the Cajun Burger and Bacon Burger (double patty). These patties are actually 1/2 pound. The fries were good. It was quiet and low on staff for a Sunday afternoon, but still they were great and friendly. Affordable too. Not like your big chain restaurants.

Great local restaurant The chicken noodle soup is excellent The last couple of times our orders have wrong, the major issue is we ask for no cheese on the burger and it had cheese, and they just scraped it off.
