Fresh, Friendly, Local – that’s what their sign says. They have been on Coast Highway in Newport Beach since 1982. Today was my first time. That was my friend Sylvia’s choice, and that choice was a good one. This place is full of nostalgia with beach-type murals painted on all the walls – inside and out.

The menu is extensive with all of the favorites – homestyle cooking at its best. Food was so good I forgot to take photos until we were well into the eating process. So I will need to explain what you see. That’s a patty melt on the left with sweet potato fries for Slyia. Pastrami melt for me with cole slaw. In the words of Food Network hostess, Rachel Ray, everything was “yummo”!

I hadn’t seen Sylvia is almost two years so we had fun catching up on all the family news, etc. We’ll have another food adventure soon. Here we are in all or glory. I can’t figure out why I always close my eyes. Maybe I know what’s coming, and it’s never good (lol).

The Other Thing – Cappy’s philosophy – “Our vibe is your vibe. Laid-Back and chill, just like it was the day we opened in 1982.”
