Unfortunately our experience wasn’t what we were expecting from this diner. When we walked in it had a strange smell and we were directed to seat ourselves at “whatever table” would fit our party of eight. There was just one other table with customers in the whole restaurant which was odd. When it came to our food, we ordered two orders of chicken and waffles but the waiter returned and said they only had enough chicken for one of the orders and that they had frozen chicken strips that they could make for the other. My husband and mother in law were not happy with their chicken burgers because the chicken was disproportionately smaller than the bun so there was a chunk of their burger that had no meat. When we were done eating the waiter took a very long time to give us our check even after she had already cleared the table and saw that we were done. Overall it wasn’t a great experience and we had already made up our mind while we were there that we wouldn’t return or recommend Capitola Diner to anyone.

It was quiet on Monday early afternoon, just what I was looking for. Had a chicken quesadilla, it had lots of good chicken and lots of cheese. Pretty yummy

Food was great the Ribs were actually quite awesome, meat comes off the bone and the sauce is nice and tangy. It was a good portion too.
It was a slow night, but my waitress was wonderful.

Food and service were both pleasant. Off oder near doorway as you enter, but seemed to dissipate as you got further into restaurant. Typical diner food.

For a family of 4 from out of town this spot was perfect. Perfect on price and perfect on taste. My wife is vegetarian and works in the food industry, she was very impressed that this place made most of the things we tasted from scratch.
Have loved this place for years. My family too. Great people. Great food. Great service. Always a great go to place for whatever you're craving.

Capitola Cafe has excellent food! The cheeseburger was delicious and the bartender made me one of the best Mexican coffees! It’s very comfortable and I would highly recommend you eating here! Great place with reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and welcoming.
