Good food. Good beer.. We have been going to the Mad Capper for 20 + years. Always good service, good food, good beer. Can't say one negative thing. The waitstaff are friendly and we have never felt rushed to leave. Can't say enough.…
Mad Capper: Great Ambiance and Beer. I am not sure what some of the other reviewers (probably Bud Light drinkers) were thinking about the Mad Capper, but whenever I am down in Stillwater, this bar is a must stop. They change up the microbrews each month, and they are outstanding. When the legendary Bells Hopslam comes out in January, they have it along with many other great varieties. The help and bar tenders are folksy and friendly. This is a real bar, with a fun theme, mainly hats and caps. The food is not expensive as others have said. Standard bar fare, so if you are looking for gourmet try one of the other establishments in town.…
WORST service EVER. doesn't really deserve one star. Waitress was worst I've had in years, bartender no better. Food was super expensive and doesn't even compare to average fare in a grocery deli. Beer selection was great, but don't venture any further than that...providing you even get the drink you order...…
Unless you're a regular....
I love Stillwater, but this place needs to go. Unless you are one of their regulars, you are treated like crap. I've given it a few tries. Once, the host asked us to leave because we had been in the
bar an hour and only ordered two drinks each. It was a Tuesday night!
The food is nothing to boast about. The beer selection is huge, but good luck getting a cold one... plus, it's kinda pricey if you're not coming during Happy Hour.
I'd suggest trying one of the many other bars in the area... the ones with much better service and customer care.…
We Have Finally Found Our Spot.
My wife and I have been looking for a weekly "regular" place to eat. We were getting tired of the corporate owned chains so we headed to downtown Stillwater. Over the past few months we have gone
to about every restaraunt in Stillwater. The one we kept coming back to is the Mad Capper.
The staff is friendly and after only a couple of visits we were treated like regulars. The bartenders remembered our drink choices as well as the servers. We haven't run across a meal that we didn't like and the prices are very reasonable as well. We have had everything from walleye to burgers to nachos and they all have been perfect.
During certain periods of the week it will get a bit busy but there is plenty of room to belly up and have a drink while you wait. I would assume the reason it gets busy is from the return customers. In speaking with the patrons the general concensus is that this is one of their favorite spots.
We are true Minnesota sports fans and I have never walked in when a Minnesota team wasn't being shown when they are playing. If you want to watch something special, ask a bartender and they put it on for you. The sports setting is also very appealing.
In summary, this is the place that we will continue to frequent due to their excellent food, service, and atmosphere. It's a great place to relax, watch a game and have a great meal.…
