Capital City Chop House

Capital City Chop House brings fine-dining polish to Morrisville’s airport corridor, pairing its long-standing obsession with quality with a relaxed, clubby dining room. Within striking distance of Research Triangle Park and Raleigh-Durham International Airport, it has become a reliable stop for travelers and locals seeking steakhouse classics and attentive service. Plates are double-checked by both chef and executive manager before leaving the kitchen, keeping experiences consistent for business lunches and celebratory evenings alike.

Executive Chef Matthew Kahrs and his team showcase center-cut Certified Angus Beef in cuts ranging from the signature ribeye to the 18-ounce cowboy ribeye, alongside seafood favorites like Chilean seabass with pineapple relish, jumbo lump crab cakes, and sashimi-grade tuna. Guests can tailor entrees with enhancements such as Oscar-style crab, peppercorn au poivre, or black-and-blue blue cheese, while starters like seared tenderloin tips and crab dip set the tone. A full bar, curated wine list, and craft cocktails round out the meal.

Amenities make the restaurant as functional as it is flavorful. Three private dining rooms — the Library seating up to 33, the Capital Room up to 44, and the Sun Room up to 55 — accommodate gatherings from board dinners to milestone parties, and onsite parking offers 220 spaces with wheelchair access. Reservations are recommended, yet the team also supports takeout and gluten-free options for guests on the move. With banquet layouts hosting as many as 95 diners, Capital City Chop House remains a dependable venue for polished dining near the runway.
