Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Capital Burger in Boston offers "excellent burgers" and a welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate the "friendly and attentive staff" and "amazing" milkshakes. While some note slow service during busy times, the "pretzel appetizer" and "Bacon Cheeseburger" are highly recommended. The restaurant is a great spot for both casual and semi-formal dining experiences.

    The burgers were delicious, fresh and flavorful, but the menu didn’t offer many options. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing: our server was slow and never offered a refill for our drinks. Overall, great food but poor service.

    Great quality service and food! The staff was friendly, efficient, and attentive. Sat outside, and was concerned about the street noise, but being below street level, made for a wonderful experience.

    Another great meal at Capital Burger. This is one of our “go to” places when we visit Boston. Highly recommend the pretzel appetizer and the shakes are delicious. The staff is very friendly.

    Good food, nice ambiance and staff was nice. Service was a little slow due to restaurant being full, but I’d recommend going there again!
