Capitol Lunch — Restaurant in New Britain

If you haven't been to Capitol Lunch, you have not gone to New Britain, CT. They sell Martin Rosol hot dogs. The "sauce" is famous throughout the area. If you order them with "everything", they will come with mustard, onions, and the sauce. There are other options and configurations, but I prefer to get them that way. Bonus... You can burp hours later and enjoy the flavor all over again... Delightful! They also sell Hamburgers/cheeseburgers, French fries, and onion rings. The staff here is friendly. The owner is nice, and you will usually find him working alongside his crew. They have some cool old photographs blown up and displayed along the wall so you can look at them while you're waiting in line. The line can get long, but usually goes quickly. When ordering; Tell them how many dogs altogether in total, what you want on them, and whether it is for there or to go. That is the way the regulars do it and it makes the workers happy while keeping the line flowing. FYI, they are better when eaten there on the spot while they are hot. There are no more tables for inside dining (for now). Prices have gone up, but still cheaper than other places (some at least) to get hotdogs. They now have a Combo/special which consists of 2 dogs, an order of fries, and a large drink. Not a bad deal, but I don't drink soda very often at all... The dogs are still good. Apparently, they are now calling the chili dogs famous dogs. I don't like it. It’s a bit...

Home of the world famous Capi dogs!!! You have to get it with the meat sauce the get the real deal but they're Martin Rosal's made in New Britain hot dogs so you can't really go wrong even if you don't get the famous meat sauce. Meat sauce, mustard and onions is called one with everything. I only get 2 max because even though you want the 3rd one it is not a good idea, for me anyway, too full. Step away from the 3rd Capi dog! They have burgers and you can get the meat sauce on them as well. They have fries and onion rings also. They sell Avery's gourmet soda which is made in New Britain on Corbin Ave at Avery's Soda which ships across the continental U.S. if you live it and want to send some to a friend or a New Britainite far from home. If your a milk lover you will love the local Guidas Milk, served ice cold out of milk machine, delicious!! Guidas Dairy is, wait for it, also a New Britain company. So lots of great New Britain products come together at Capital Lunch for your gastronomical enjoyment !! Enjoy!! Here's to New Britain!!! Also, diagonally across the street is Roly Poly Bakery, make a stop there, they have great Polish food and ice cream, it's like stepping...

I would like the ownership to see my additions to the review. They might just like it. As I was unable to submit a new review, please read the bottom portion. As you see Even my star rating went up.

Even with change of ownership few years back this place is exactly the same as decades ago. Nothing ever changes here. Food is not that good, staff as rude as always, ownership thinks they're the best thing since sliced bread. Although I have to admit that the meat sauce was a bit better on this visit, but I wouldn't count on this to last.

I hope the ownership will get to see my edited review and I hope they'll like my thoughts from my visit to the restaurant last week. I was pleasantly surprised to see the staff with smiles on their faces, being courties, polite, even cracking a joke here and there. So pleased to see people actually enjoying working. I'm not sure what you guys did with the meat sauce for hot dogs but keep doing it. It tasted 200% better. Maybe the smiles on employee's faces is the secret sauce ingredient. Whatever it is, keep up the good work. My husband and I will definitely be stopping...
