Capital Ale House

We came in on a Saturday night and didn't need a reservation, we were sat right awhile. It was moderately quiet, we didn't have any issues with being able to hear each other. Plenty of seating and in downtown Fredericksburg so plenty of street parking around. The menu was pretty extensive with a large beer menu. We ordered the Walnut Whiskey Salmon with Mexican Street Corn subbed in for the mashed potatoes. My husbanded ordered the pierogi sampler. The salmon was very good and I definitely recommend. It was well cooked. I didn't enjoy the Mexican Street Corn, it was missing flavor and also a little cold. I also wasn't a fan of the pierogies but my husband enjoyed them. Not bad for a relaxing night out and would come back for the beers again.

First time in Fredericksburg and figured I check out this place. Jalapeno pierogis were delicious and good selection of beer. Sour mini something was delicious. I ordered a NY Strip medium rare that came out after 40 minutes to medium well/ well. I asked for another and the bartender asked if I wanted to keep the plate to eat the sides and I said no. I waited another 40 minutes and asked the bartender where my recook was? She said I didn’t think you wanted another. I said I have been here for over 2 hours of course I wanted another one. 15 minutes later a recook came out and it was barely medium rare. I ate it as I was super hungry but not happy at all. If I’m in the area maybe I would give it another chance as it’s a nice looking bar but downtown Fredericksburg has so many other

Food has always been really good, especially wings! On a side note I just wish the service was a little better. Even when I’ve been the only customer in the restaurant it’s rare for your server to come and check on you, other than that everything is great.

So I left a bad review last time but have come back to see if it was a fluke / bad timing, etc. and it was. Our server Samantha was the best server I’ve ever had, she made the meal a memorable experience with her humor and left a wonderful impression on us all. We really enjoyed her presence. On the food, I got two meals, one stroganoff & one ny strip. Do not get the stroganoff, dog food. The NY strip was delicious & cooked perfectly, and the sides were exceptional, especially the fries. My brothers said there meals were delicious, they talked me into coming back and they were right. It wasn’t bad at all. All of this food came out to $109, not bad for 4 meals and one alcoholic beverage (not for myself, I don’t drink) … anywho, ask for Samantha. If she’s not there then just come back anothe

We stopped for lunch on 12/29/25 and enjoyed an excellent meal. The hostess seemed less than happy to be there, but our waiter, Keith, made up for at. He was friendly, attentive, helpful, and fast. The Bloody Marys were well-spiced and satisfying. The “Sailor” and “Cuban” sandwiches were excellent. The sides of warm German potato salad and jalapeño-flecked cole slaw also were very tasty. Thanks, folks. We’ll be back!
