Capital Restaurant — Restaurant in Chambersburg

Typical American diner menu. We ordered the chopped steak and the he meatloaf. The meatloaf was 2 small slices about 3/8" thick - very skimpy for the price. The mac & cheese was really bad.

Asked for a little mayo and a little ranch dressing. Ranch came out in a container, as expected. Mayo was overly applied. Small parking lot for about 8 vehicles. Interior of the restaurant is rather out dated. Wide tape covering rips in the booth cushions. This was our servers first day and did fairly well for not being shadowed. Probably not going to be in our rotation...
