I'm invited to a party here during the week, whats the opinions on the place and what should I expect?.

It's noisy. Cheap food and depending on the night cheap drink. There's theme type nights from Monday to Wednesday.

It's a good laugh. Go have fun.

Only ever been to the captains in cork but its a franchise so prob very much the same. Foods very nice and pretty reasonable too, staff are a bit jumpy though and rush over to you when you've just been seated to take your order.

Lovely, thanks guys. Its a freebie so no stress really

I've only been there once last year. Myself and the girlfriend stopped in for lunch. I was expecting it to be like TGI's(which IMO tastes nice). I think I ordered a platter or combo or something like that. Onions rings, chicken wings etc. It was the greasiest, tasteless thing I had in a long time. What I mean by tasteless is that you if you closed your eyes and ate a piece of each you couldn't tell what was what. Actually there was a taste.....hot grease. I was disappointed As I said though, I've only been there once so it could be different when you go!

I bring the family regularly. Always find the staff great, good atmosphere and Bud ice cold. They used to have the best banoffee in Dublin which is no longer on the menu.:(

Been there many times over the years, used to be good. But last visits have not been great so i decided never to go back.

Last visit was about 2-3months back. Service was terrible. Girl at front door was to be frank abrupt and slightly rude. Food was dire, and i tend to eat anything. But this was dry and has no taste at all.

The place wasnt even that busy. ( and i know captain americas busy).

Ive also been to the tallaght one several times and its a world apart. Staff seem to be well on the ball. never had food issues.

But as you say its a freebee so just head on and enjoy it. Anything free, well you can complain much.

Used to be one of the best burger joints going. Now, I'd defo prefer to go to TGI's. But that said, it's still decent enough to go to.

Its a good spot for an informal party - good atmosphere, great cocktails and the food is grand. Am sure you'll enjoy it

food's not great but you'll have a good night, particularly if it's a freebie

burgers were always pretty good in my experience.

Regularly go when I'm in town. Couldn't say a bad thing about the food , its delicious, the staff are friendly and the drink is cheap enough for Grafton Street. One real problem is the complete lack of space. Can be really cramped when its busy with little room to maneuver.

Apart from that , enjoy your night

Thanks guys.

Just home, had a fantastic 20oz T-Bone steak and baked spud - beautiful.

Staff were really nice and friendly, and the service quicker than most places I've been to. Staff were really on the ball.

Glad to hear it's still a winner. Haven't been to Captain America's in about 5 years but used to love the place. Despite living in America I still miss it like I miss SuperQuinn sausages.

It was pretty good alright.. But, the desert - I got the worse banana split ever, I think the cream was that stuff in a can - it was pretty awful tbh.

But the steak was to die for!.

foolelle

cream is deffo from a can, one of the nicer s*&t in a can types though

Better than TGIs, but if you're just having drinks at the bar, keep a eye on your change.

Anf tbh, that might be the deciding factor as to if I'll go back or not.

If someone is taking a short cut on this I don't wanna know what else I'm being cut on.

It was disgusting (the canned cream).

I was there on a weekday night recently with friends and it was good, overall. Nice atmosphere, good food, not too expensive considering its prime city centre location.
