The Capital Grille is among the most acclaimed chain steakhouses in the USA, and it and Ruth’s Chris are frequently mentioned as among the elite of the chain steakhouses. In my opinion though, Ruth’s Chris ain’t all that. We’ve reviewed it before on this channel. The Capital Grille though is quite excellent!
Despite being in a steakhouse mecca, the Capital Grille locations in NYC all have excellent reviews. They are all around 4.5 or 4.6 and have thousands of reviews. That’s pretty good considering NYC is home to many of the best steakhouses in the world! With that in mind, I resolved to head to the closest Capital Grille near me and try the Capital Grille menu.
I kind of have high standards at this point, having eaten at many of the best steakhouses in NYC and the best steakhouses in America, but I will judge the Capital Grille fairly. I will say how good the Capital Grille is overall, rather than comparing it only against the best steakhouses in New York City which isn’t very fair in my opinion. I will be reviewing the Capital Grille steaks and also its delectable Capital Grille Sam’s mashed potatoes! The steak we reviewed will be what I presume to be the Capital Grille’s best steak, their dry-aged bone-in New York strip strip since it was highlighted as such on the menu!
Definitely check out this vid sometime!

If I got that sear I’d tell them to send it back
I’ve eaten at Capital Grille in Baltimore. It was good but, not the best of the best steakhouses.
Capital Grille is like a Ruth Chris or Morton’s. My favorites are Grille 66 and Steak 954 in Fort Lauderdale. Peter Lugers In Brooklyn.
Didn’t I give you a fork? Are you eating potatoes with a serving spoon again?
I love the way you put the potatoes like a Persian cat. Otherwise, your page is the best! 🥩🥔👌🏾
Go eagles 🦅 great video first time im liking ur video because im thinking u an eagles fan
You sound like a bit of a douche when you bite the bread and say I can do what I want. Are you that worried what people think? I eat bread the same way and I still think you're a douche. The better thing to say is hey, it's just easier to eat the bread this way with butter, but of course I will add more to the inside of the bread after this… excellent bread!"
He said non NY steak place. So I thought maybe it was normally priced. Nope, still over priced. Then he went for the "NY" strip steak.. which is just a strip steak with ”NY" in front of it so they can sell it for more. Then he mentioned truffle fries on the menu. Knew it was the same as every other over priced steak joint.
Heading to NYC to the ballet this weekend…. but first…. I gotta stop by only the classiest option in North Jersey for a bite to eat: Hiram's! UA, I wish I could say I saw it from you first, but heard it off Anthony Bourdain first. Thank you though, but gotta give credit where credit is due. Thanks, and great video as always!
Enjoyed your review.
I know most people enjoy a good crust on their steak, but they say it’s carcinogenic, so don’t overdo it.
Hope you can check out Hawksmoor NYC.
I know you’re on a budget for Youtube but lunch menu reviews don’t cut it for the experience
Can you open your eyes?
Medium/medium rare? Looks more raw. Hint: dead giveaway is the white strip of fat in the cross section that hasn't been rendered by being cooked enough.
Wow, I’m watching this at 3am in my bedroom, and I can literally smell this food. I’m so jealous!
UA if you’re ever in Buffalo you have to go to Lucia. You’d have to travel 8 hours each direction to Chicago or NYC for a better steak.
Video starts from 10:55, just FYI
Go to Roots Steakhouse in Summit, NJ. People have raved about it. I have yet to try it, but your review can definitely help me decide.
UA PLEASE PLEASE Check out Vecchia Osteria! It’s located in bucks county PA in Newtown! They are family owned and considered the best Italian food in bucks county!
Counting calories at a New York Steakhouse, what a hoot!
The one I go to regularly outside of Boston is absolutely wonderful. I'm never disappointed.
I only go here when it’s a corp. dinner
I've found that thinner cuts of steak are not gonna get a great sear with medium rare temp., unless it's a 900 + degree flame. You ordered medium rare which it was, you'd hope the NY Strip ifrom the dinner menu is a lot thicker?
Great show!!
the prices are outrageous!!!!!!! i'm gonna pass
next time get it Kona crusted with the shallot butter….the Kona coffee they do on all their steaks if requested and it helps with the crust that you are looking for
My first time seeing your channel. Great content. The anticipation of what you're going to say after tightly closing your eyes is priceless! Love it.
When was ur shellfish allergy discovered? Did the doctor inform u of it?
