Cappy’s Hot Spot Bar & Grill

Best wings in town. Tons of great burgers. Tons of appetizers. Awesome drinks and specials, and a great wait staff.

The wings and fries are my very favorite. The wings weren’t fatty at all which is important for me and I’m kinda a «French fry connoisseur» and they have really good fries… plus wings are cheap on Tuesday! Love to go there! Highly recommend!

Great place to eat and drink! Try the Thai Chili wings they are the bomb. Place is clean and wait staff is efficient. Bartenders are friendly and you won’t have to ask for a drink, they ask you!

Well it’s about time I reviewed this place. My friends and I have been making this our weekly haunt every Wednesday for their trivia night.
It’s a little sportsbar in a random area. The location seemed a bit shady to me at first but over the months of coming here I barely notice anymore, I usually am just focusing on the delicious wings in my future.
The inside is huge. A big bar, pool table room, an eating area with flat screens and a stage, and more seating in another room. They do trivia every Wednesday and the prizes are great and it’s an awesome time. They have other events other nights of the week and lots of specials.
The service has really impressed me. I wouldn’t have expected it in a sportsbar, but the first night we went I called ahead and asked about gluten free. They gave me a cell phone number and who did I get? Well cappy himself of course! He let me know he’s actually in the process of revamping his menu to labels for gluten free, but until then the serving staff would be able to help me. Some individuals in the kitchen have had training in gluten free and between them and the amazingly helpful servers I had a pretty great list.
I get their chicken jalapeño nachos and naked wings with the honey garlic sauce. omg guys. These wings. These nachos. An addiction has formed.
Price is always ridiculously affordable and as I’ve said service is stellar, the girls always remember my order and that I’m gf. As good ol shady corner sportsbars come, this is 5 star one.

If you like a good rueben sandwich, this is the best Lincoln NE.
has to offer. I really enjoy the mango habenero chicken salad

I went here based on Unilocal reviews, and man — this was one time Unilocal steered me in the wrong direction, that’s for sure.
My first impression when we walked in was that it was dingy an dirty — carpet in a bar is never a great idea. We were brought absolutely massive menus — think five pages, plus three full page inserts — by our (very nice) waitress.
I ordered the Ragin’ Cajun and Peanut Butter Thai wings with a side of onion chips, and my husband got the Peanut Butter Bacon Burger with what we thought would be chili topped tater tots, but wound up being chili topped mashed potatoes — not sure if that was a kitchen error, or we just missed the mark on reading the menu that much.
My wings were large, and the Peanut Butter Thai sauce was pretty decent. The Ragin Cajun was spicy, but the BBQ sauce was way too sweet in my opinion. The onion chips were fine, but nothing special. However, there are plenty of better wings in Lincoln.
My husband’s Peanut Butter Bacon burger was probably the highlight of the trip, but even that was a fairly mediocre burger in a town that has so many great options. His mashed potatoes were very obviously instant, and neither the potatoes or chili has much flavor — they were so bland he resorted to trying to scrape wing sauce from my plate to make them edible.
The waitress was quite nice — she made sure to let us know about $ 2.50 Jaeger Bombs, which seems like a good deal, if wholly unappealing while recovering on New Years Day after way too much Red Bull Vodka the night before.
Cappy’s may be a good South Lincoln bar spot — I noticed they had flyers for two cover bands I’ve enjoyed at other venues — but for food, this is definitely a place to skip.

good food I haven’t had in a long time since I’ve been to small towns so if your looking for good small town bar food this is the place in a big town if you want to call Lincoln big I’ve been here about a dozen times since I first found out they have such good food and only one time was it not a hundred percent and they fixed the problem immediately and happily. thank you Cappy just so you know I haven’t been there in about 6 months but I’m sure its good still and been thinking about going back down there soon but I just don’t get down that way anymore these days

Best wings in town, hands down. Great flavors, meaty wings cooked to perfection, plenty of sauce for dipping & if you get the 30 wing platter, it comes in a trough with toast & fries.

Had the original, cinnamon schnapps BBQ, peanut butter Thai and Thai chili wings. Holy moly these were good!!! I will be coming back here a lot in the future!!!

One of my top two places for wings in Lincoln. The other is the Watering Hole. But, these are the BEST non-​seared wings as far as I’m concerned and the wings are less expensive than at Watering Hole. Huge wings and great sauces. My favorite sauce is the spicy parmesan garlic. Definitely recommend trying if you’re looking for good wings. I’ve never tried anything else, but, other foods always look good when they come out. Another thing that I like about this place is that it’s huge. Plenty of space for a bar, so it’s not like you’re packed in.

Probably one of my favorite hang outs in Lincoln — definitely one of the better bars on the south side. Food is great — the mango habenero & jalepeno citrus wings are my pick! Quick service, bar games, decent cover bands, and cheap drinks.

this place is by far my favorite in Lincoln. all the food is absolutely amazing. the pizza is as good as any in town. my absolute recommendation is the onion chips. these things are perfect fried perfection and i always order these either as an appetizer or side. they just recently started serving sweet potato fries with an aoli sauce and are fantastic as well. their ultimate burger is a must for burger lovers and is topped with pulled pork for a perfect burger combination. the philly cheesesteak sandwich is a perfect 10. you really can’t go wrong with any of the food items on the menu.
drink prices are best in town and the service is friendly and fast. the waitresses do run around at 100mph covering large areas by themselves, but they do a great job. a great place for any game day event or meal. on the weekends they have some fun bands and poker tournaments. any out of town friends always love this place as well and if you live in Lincoln give cappy’s a chance and spread the word!
my newest recommendation is the tortilla soup. it is delicious, thick and cheesy with a great spicy kick!
