    Grilled Wings with Lemon Buffalo and Thai Chili sauces on the side
    Annie D.

    Every time we come.to Abbey Road, we always have the best food and service! We went for an "early" Friday dinner to beat the Friday night rush. We got seated close to the bar and that was a fun time. The patrons were having a great time interacting with the bartenders, light and fun conversations. We ordered the Jumbo Wings grilled and a side/basket of homemade chips. Those wings...grilled to perfection! We ordered a couple of sauces on the side (Lemon Buffalo and Thai Chili). Both sauces were a nice addition, but the wings were great on their own! The chips are some of my favorite with their homemade ranch (i could drink their ranch, so good)! Service was wonderful, attentive and we never felt rushed. Definitely a great local spot to hit!

    I really wanted some boneless wings. These are just chicken breast cut up and sauces not a bit of crunch or texture to them.. ‍

    I am working here for a couple of days out of town and I really wanted some boneless wings. The environment felt nice although I did get my order to go. I have to say I am a little disappointed. These are just chicken breast cut up and sauced not a bit of crunch or texture to them.. ‍ I also got some sweet potato fries. They were pretty good, but I was a little disappointed they didn't come with anything to dip them in.

    Came to this restaurant while on vacation and staying with family in Cary, NC. It was close and convenient. The waitress was very attentive. Appetizers came out timely. Our food was fast. We enjoyed drinks and the waitress made sure we had enough of those along with anything else we needed. Food tasted great and we left all very full. We would definitely come back when visiting this area again! We sat inside but they were having live music outside which would definitely be enjoyable!

    Buffalo chicken Dip appetizer

    The lowdown: the 4 stars were based on the fact that my first visit wasn't the best. If it were on this one alone I would have given 5 stars. The food is delicious,the service was good, and the staff wore masks, cleaned the tables thoroughly after patrons were eating(which we know is important during this COVID time). Abbey Road Tavern is a decent size, decorated according to what you would expect from a pub/restaurant. Musical memorabilia everywhere. I think it would be cute if the dishes had musical names! We got the buffalo dip to start! it is sooo so so good! It comes with soft and hard tortilla chips. For my meal I order the buffalo chicken sandwich. It was perfect. Hit the spot. It came with fries and was very filling. I noticed when paying w a credit card they charge a 4% fee so keep that in mind when you go! Our server was terrific. I'm pretty sure her name was Elizabeth. I definately want to check out other menu items.

    During my time at NC State, we would make the haul out to Cary and have a treat meal as "poor" college kids would. I am happy to see that this place is still here, and has expanded since my time at State (graduated in '04). It is a bit "off the beaten path" since the small shopping center is a little tucked away and probably was just a stand along gas station at some point. I bet the growing city of Cary and highway development (elsewhere) brought the gas station's demise, but luckily enough this restaurant found a home here. The burgers are why you come here. I love that they've kept the burgers pretty much how I remember them (ingredient-wise) and have expanded their menu. I think beer was a luxury item when I was in school so we always got soda or water... The craft scene has exploded in the last decade and they have plenty of local (NC) beers on tap. Last visit, I came by myself and my server was super nice. She had a ton of tables (inside AND outside) so there was a little bit of a slower pace for my meal, but I didn't mind it so much. She did thank me for being patient when she brought the bill out, so she was aware, but there's nothing you can really do since it looked like all the servers were running around everywhere. Tried the bacon cheese fries... and they didn't disappoint. Burgers are cooked (to how you want them). Mine was delicious. There is a large bar area and tvs surrounding (so probably a great place to watch sports). I don't really remember them having too many tables outside since during school, you could park under the awning. I think now they've utilized the shade for outside seating and cornhole boards. Overall, I will continue to crave these burgers and will probably stop by every time I find myself in the area.

    a burger and a drink

    Meh. Years ago in Cary this used to be the best burger in town but I think it's super average. $30 for one cocktail (small) and a burger. It was cooked to medium rare perfection but nothing superior. Bacon was soggy. Good fries and the ranch is homemade and well done. Bartender nice and very attentive. SURCHARGE for credit card though? UTTERLY ridiculous. It's called the cost of doing business. Pass.

    Burgers are still good although quite a bit smaller than they used to be. Mozzarella sticks were great! Spouse got the shrimp pita and enjoyed it. Can no longer get 1/2 onion rings and 1/2 fries. Onion rings aren't nearly as good as before. Price is comparable to other bar and grills. If I had never been pre-pandemic, I would have enjoyed my recent trip more. Quality and quantity have taken a slight hit while the price has increased. Stinks when both of those happen. Still a good meal though if you live close by...just no longer a destination.

    Tequila club
    Jeff F.

    I don't think there's a better place to get delicious bar food in this part of Cary! The tequila club sandwich is to die for! The burgers are really good too! And they have a great beer selection, and the bartenders know how to mix a good drink. There is a pretty large outdoor area for those who like to sit in a parking lot. Only thing I don't like is the bathrooms are too small for the size of the restaurant, and they usually are really dirty and smell horrible.

    We enjoyed the bar atmosphere at Abbey Road. We also loved that they had the beyond meat options for the burgers. I had the Ringo with beyond meat, which was so tasty with mushrooms, onions, and cheese. The sweet potato fries were delicious! We shared a pint of Stella. We'll be back to the neighborhood bar.

    Food was good, service was terrible. It is ok to have kids as servers, but they need a front of house manager to keep up quality of service.

    It is just not worth it. Food is mediocre. Locals run the place. Just go someplace else.

    One of our fav venues in the area! This time we saw Spin Doctors, Blues Travelers, and Gin…read moreBlossoms. It was crazy packed for this show, so we were pretty far off to the side near the lake in the back, but we still had a good time! If you want to sit close, try to get in when they open the doors - especially if it's a very popular band! One perk of this venue is they still offer free parking! You can pay for parking if you want to be super close, but the free lot isn't a far walk.

    Came here recently for a kids' show and had an OK time…read more First, Google Maps was telling us to take a very different route than the one we ended up taking by following the street signs directing us to Koka Booth Ampitheatre. Maybe we were being directed to the front of the venue instead of the parking lot? Anyway, not sure if we would have ended up in the same place, but just a word of caution :) We arrived shortly before the start of the show and I was pretty shocked at the traffic. We waited in line for a long time before realizing that we were in the "preferred parking" line (where we'd have to pay $15) instead of the free parking that was a bit further away. Since we didn't want to be late, we paid for the parking :) There were plenty of free spots available, so that was nice. The walk to the ampitheatre was actually really nice and shaded with big tall trees. There was a front large lawn area and then a covered seating area with tables and chairs set up behind it. There were a ton of people, especially on the lawn, but we snagged a table in the corner and had a decent view of the stage. I was then sent off to grab popcorn for the family. They had a bunch of different lines for concessions, which included a variety of snacks and drinks, including beer :) Hurray! My line moved pretty slowly and I had to wait for fresh popcorn to be made, so it took maybe 15 to 20 minutes to actually get my food and get back to my family. The show sounded OK - I think it was a little quiet, but there were kids present so that kind of makes sense. I think it would have been nice to have screens so that people who were sitting far away could see the performance better. We left shortly before the end of the main set (our son was getting tired and/or bored) and traffic was fine getting out. Overall, it was an OK time. Parking was a little stressful and it felt a little hectic inside. I'd maybe come back here to see a performance if I was super into the artist, but I don't think the venue itself is really a draw.
