I'm glad they're still open for dine-in during COVID but I would still avoid this establishment like the plague. Very long waits for food, no refills/requests for refills, disorganization everywhere, and bland plates with no seasoning or flavor. The photos brought me in but the terrible service will keep me out. Save your money and ignore what look like padded ratings/reviews for this location. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite on our housing search. Lots of craft beer options and fun decor. We ordered the cheese curds, a pepperoni flatbread pizza and a cheese flatbread pizza and everything was good. The menu was sort of all over the place but impressively had several vegan options. read more

I've eaten the same thing here twice: first time pre-covid indoors and the second time during COVID to-go. Both times were with people who got other entrees and agree with this review. The good: 1. Awesome selection for vegetarians and meat eaters alike 2. Cute concept and space, always good to support local 3. Nice mix of bar food and actual entrees 4. Tasty tofu The bad: 1. Super slow service both times (inside time, the place was dead and still took 15 minutes for a host to come by our table and to-go time took an extra 15 minutes longer than predicted) 2. Really salty everything. I know eating fried food isn't good for you, but I've felt like crap after both times eating here (with only 1 beer!) 3. Forgot the super tasty tofu on the vegan poutine, put quarter of a super strong onion on the burger with an underdone patty Wish I could like this place, but the amount of salt, consistently slow service, and $12 for a plate of fries isn't worth it given other local options. read more

don't order doordash here they leave the orders out for anyone to take and then refuse to remake it when they don't have the order and extremely rude read more

Vegan options - YAY!!! So thrilled to have some great plant-based comfort foods that don't include quinoa or black beans. We get the vegan poutine, which taste just like fries and gravy from Baltimore, MD. The Potato MoMo's are also incredible (hand rolled fresh daily). We had them fried. Portions are large, and vegan ranch is to die for. What other restaurants offer a decent vegan ranch?! Not many. Service is also incredible- you have to order at the bar, but that doesn't bother us a bit. Super dog friendly too , nice outdoor seating space, and big selection of brews. Check this place out! read more

The Nashville hot wings were so good! The owner was extremely friendly and we talked for awhile while I ate. I lived in Nashville for a little bit and the Nashville Hot wings tasted just like the iconic Nashville Hot chicken. Great wings. Great place. read more

Ordered food right before the cut off for delivery and was worried it might come looking rushed or not cared for but received the total opposite. Was completely surprised and happy with my order. Everything was hot and delicious. Would recommend for some greater than mediocre bar food. Can't wait to taste some more stuff on the menu! read more

I wanted some poutine on Canada Day and took to Twitter to see where I could get it. Several tweeps told me about BottleDog, so we got in the car and headed to Cary! They also have Nashville Hot Chicken. Luckily, I didn't have to decide between poutine and hot chicken, because they had Poulet Chaud which is poutine topped with hot chicken. It was DELICIOUS and incredibly filling. Don't plan on eating anything else for the day should you decide to go here for poutine! I didn't partake in beer since I had already spent some time at a brewery that day, but they had a great draft list. Glad I found out about this place. I will definitely be back! read more

This was a surprise for us when we came here. We have been to several brewery type places where the food just isn't as impressive as the beer selection. But this blew us away! The Le Castor was a heavy comfort food dish that was full of flavor! The Pineapplelachian bottledog was delicious and HUGE! I couldn't even finish it! Fried fromage and traditional flatbread was a nice addon to our family meal. A place we will come back to for sure!!! read more

Poutine, mon dieu. Just like Quebec but with far better weather. The best poutine this side of the New York border and better than some in Montreal. Excellent selection of beers, both on tap and bottles. They have a variety of sizes, so get the one that fits your thirst. I tried the cider, excellent, not too sweet. Must try all the poutines, I'll be back!! read more

I went in for a pick up order and was serviced by the nastiest rudiest female ever. I will never visit this establishment again.

Awesome flatbreads, had the Hawaii Redneck and Sweet Caroline:) The Brews are nice as well, I chose the Pineapple Berliner Weiss woo hoo! So yummy! The atmosphere was casual and fun, with great music and sports on the televisions all around. I enjoy brews and food for sure! There were many items on the menu and more than enough beers to choose from:) We will certainly be back! Raleigh Brewing had a vendor tonight that gave samples and free pint glasses with a beer from their brewery! My fav read more

BottleDog Bites & Brews - Seriously the best wings in Cary!!!!! & on wing Wednesday that are only 5$. Pictured: garlic parm and spicy bbq - Beer Bar Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

This place is great - they order each beer in ~6 pony kegs so there is constant rotation, and the food is awesome. If you are a Canadian - or hail from cheese country (Wisconsin) then you'll appreciate their selection of poutine. Definitely go with the Montreal smoked meat... Tip: ask for the OLD (not Bavarian) pretzels - they are NOT on the menu and are the BOMB!!! read more

Staff was attentive, food was delicious and they have a nice beer selection. We also loved the dog menu!

This place is the bomb. Ram and his wife Najira (hope I spelled that right) are doing things right. I expect Guy Fieri to be in the kitchen someday raving about Ram's Montreal smoked brisket or the amazing Chicken Poutine, or the Nepalese dumplings with spicy slow cooked sauce. Everything is hand done. If you're in downtown Cary and are going to go to a food truck and spend $11 bucks, do yourself a favor and drive the 2 minutes here. You'll not only get a lot more food, but everything is done in a quality matter. Like the homemade thin chips that go with the sandwiches. Not that you need more, but there's always great beers on tap, all the time. read more

The pastry is very good and the Montreal hot dogs are tasty. The chili bowl bread is tasty and fresh, be aware the chili is very hot. Lots of chili spice. read more

We love BottleDog. The food is always delicious and they always have a beer on tap that we've never tried before! A good atmosphere for family or date night. read more

Where to even begin? With the beer, I guess? Somehow Bottledog manages to curate an ideal selection of beers on tap, with enough diversity that everyone can likely find several things they like. Even if you're a single-style beer drinker, you're going to find at least two beers in your preferred style. The draft list is always changing, so you could easily visit every week (or more often) and have totally different beers every time. But then it's also a bottle shop! Again, a fantastic selection of beers to choose from. NC breweries are well-represented, but there's also a healthy variety from around the country and the world. But also the food. Excellent poutine in several variations delicious hot dogs, and Nashville hot chicken. It is pretty hard to not want to order the whole menu, and it's largely impossible to be disappointed, no matter what you order. And as the cherry on top, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They make Bottledog feel like a neighborhood fixture, and they seem happy to have you there. Go once, you'll want to keep coming back. read more

Doesn't look like much from the parking lot, but it is nice -- reminded me of the bars we visit at the beach with their out-side area with seating and 2 big TV's. Wonderful as the weather cools down. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Food was good-never had a poutine but enjoyed it. Prices very reasonable I thought. The only reason I will not frequent this place is because I live in Hillsborough! But I will certainly tell my friends and family to check it out if they are in that area. read more

While I couldn't partake in their vast selection of brews, their food was awesome! We started with the Bavarian pretzel; ginormous! No lie, this thing comes with its own coat hanger and smooth beer cheese. For our meals we got the sweet Carolina flatbread and the classic poutine with sliced hot dog. Amazing, filling and super nice bartender! We will be back! read more

WOW! Where has BottleDog been all my life? We came for the poutine and the Nashville hot chicken (yesterday) and tonight we're going back for wing night. The food here is absolutely top notch! Portion sizes are more than generous and poutine is all totally made from scratch. The brown gravy tasted just like grandma used to make and the fries were fresh and crispy. We even tried new beers based on the owners suggestion and everything was AMAZING. We didn't take pictures because we basically inhaled everything before we could. It was THAT GOOD. read more

Stumbled on this place and do glad we did. Great selection of beer and awesome food. My husband raved about the MTL flat bread. Great service to boot! read more

BottleDog Bites & Brews - Beer Bar Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

This is my new favorite place in town. Not only do they have great beer from all over NC and beyond, but the service is great as well. Bartender was really sweet and offered great suggestions on what to try. Food is also amazing!! Tried the flatbread and Nashville hot chicken and everything was perfect. Flatbread had the best crispy crust. Hot chicken was so good, but crazy hot, had my fiancé sweating. Can't wait to come back again. read more

BottleDog Bites & Brews - Italian flatbread - Beer Bar Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I usually discount 5 star reviews to newly opened restaurants, many reasons for this. Sometimes you have break your own rules. This place deserves the ratings/reviews it has received. After hearing about this place from some friends, and happening to be in the area, stopped in for a late lunch. Yes it is not right on Chapel Hill Street, it is around the corner from Maximillians and Woody's. Please understand this is not fine dining, it is a bottle shop that has a limited menu, but the food was simple amazing. There are few places in the Triangle to get poutine and nowhere I know of that has Montreal smoked meat, this place has them BOTH. The smoked meat is cooked in house and is among the best I have ever had. (For those that don't know Montreal smoked meat is like pastrami, but so much better) Poutine is great, the portions are good sized and is even better the next day. I was not there for the ambience, the area was well laid out and the patio is dog friendly. The music was at a decent level and a few televisions scattered about. The bottle selection was limited but all top quality,nice selection of beer on tap. Have not tried the flat breads or hot dogs yet, the toppings and options look interesting, have heard good things about their "hot chicken". Was lucky enough to meet one of the owners, Todd. Great guy, very knowledgeable about beer and had a great sense of food not only here, but in a broader sense of nationally/internationally. I am looking forward to going back and this is now on my short list of places to recommend to others. read more

Awesome beer selection and incredible poutine. There draft beer has options unlike any other. Family friendly in the evenings. Love this place. read more

Big ups for the food & beer selection. We really enjoyed the Nashville hot chicken poutine & Montreal meat poutine most, but the flatbread pizza satisfied the kids and the cheese curds were a strong appetizer. Did I mention the sweet BBQ wings? We went breaded. It all was too much food but a great change of pace for visiting family. read more

Found this place recently (after a bit of a search) and it was well worth it. To save you some trouble, it's right behind Woody's and Maximilian's on Chapel Hill Rd. Nice choice of bar seating, multiple size tables and a large patio. A few (but not too many) TV's so you can catch an event, but they don't become the focus of the room. Very friendly staff (thanks Max) with great craft beer knowledge. A nice tight menu of pub food that is nothing like you are going to find anywhere else in the Triangle. Poutaine (what is this, my southern self asked and why do I want it), flatbreads (the size of full blown pizzas), gourmet hot dogs and wait for it....Nashville hot chicken. I now must confess I know why people eat Poutaine. We got the one with guac and sour cream and jalepenos. Oh my that went well with a Highland Cold Mountain. Then we tried the hot chicken tenders. Order them "mild". Trust me on this. You can't, repeat can't fix food that is too hot for me. This just about was. I loved every minute of it! Now, if this wasn't enough wonderfulness, they have a very well stocked bottle shop with several things my beer knurd husband had never seen before, so we also went home with a box of bottles and cans to add to the stash. We are so glad to have found this place and are already planning a trip back with several groups of friends!!!! read more

Just stopped in for a couple of beers , did not have any food. Beer selection was very good. read more

First time here and I loved it. We sat outside as we had our dog and it was during a rain storm - when we drove up the porch area didn't look like much but on a night like that - it made for a perfect way to eat outdoors in the rain and not get disturbed. Inside the restaurant is nothing special, very small and bar-like. Food was excellent. We had the pickle chips - very good. I had the poutine with the Montreal smoked brisket on it and my husband had the brisket sandwich. That was some of the best meat I have ever had - seriously delicious. The poutine was very good, not great as the fries didn't hold up well - you have to have seriously good fries to make poutine work. Overall very impressive and we will be back. Fantastic beer selection as well (obviously). read more

I was excited to try this place because it's one of the few places in the triangle I've found that serves poutine. We ordered the Montreal style poutine to share, as soon as it came out I could tell there was way too much gravy. All of the fries were completely drowned in gravy, leaving no crisp fries at all. The flavor on the gravy was good, as was the combination of the smoked meat and pickles. I had the spicy bbq wings, they came out very crispy which was excellent, but again there was way too much sauce. I also tried the blue cheese ranch with my wings and enjoyed that. The beer selection is good and it has a sports bar vibe. I will probably go back for the wings. read more

Recent social media posts for bottledog make this place seem like a trashy boys club - I still love bottledog, but the social media management has become a train wreck over the last week :( read more

It's hard for me not to rate 4+ stars for any place that's as dog friendly as BottleDog. The food is typical pub food but their beer selection is pretty impressive. I had the brats and a pint of Those Who Made it Out. Good stuff! They have dog bites on the menu too, a comfy patio, and friendly people. I don't live in Cary, but I'd come back with my pups for a beer night out. read more

Great selection of bottles, decent food. Bar only service, which we didn't expect but was ok. Pretzels were our favorite. Pizza was okay, tenders we're generous sized. read more

This place used to be consistently good. Then the owners sold it to someone else and it's gone downhill both in atmosphere and quality. I'm pretty sure all the original kitchen staff have quit because I haven't seen those guys in a long time. It's a shame because they had some good poutine in the beginning! read more

I saw this place on my Yelp homepage and the food looked amazing and was open to trying it. The place is very hidden in a little shopping center that already has a majorly successful sports bar The owners of that sports bar also own this bar and the food is different the food is not your typical barfood it is very filling and the portion sizes are very large good for the price I went at lunchtime on a Friday and we were the only two people there the service was good but if I had to choose between the two I would go to the massively popular sports bar that's on the other end of the little shopping center maybe for a basketball game or football game that place is crowded or a nice spring Day the place is crowded people being outside and drinking fresh local brews craft beer is not really my thing so might not be the place for me but if you do like craft brews there is a lot of options there. read more

BottleDog Bites & Brews - Beer Bar Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

This place is a great community bar. I've played board games there, had dinner there, relaxed there with friends after work. The first time I went to this bar was because it was where my friend had her birthday party. Not only was the bar accommodating for 20+ people (where other bars had turned my friend away), but they baked her a birthday cake for us to enjoy. That's a real homie move. I've seen this bar broadcast sports games and play Star Wars movies. It's a cozy place to be. read more

Service is always friendly and efficient, and the food is consistently amazing, but today's visit has been a step above and beyond! First off, the menu has tripled from what was available a few weeks ago. There are many more apps, pizza options, sandwiches, and quite a few veg options. Service has been on point tonight, food was awesome, and I love that they are dog friendly to all pup's, especially my pittie! This quickly became a favorite since our first visit about two months ago. read more

Had dinner and drinks here last weekend with some friends. We sat out on the porch which was nice, despite it being very close to the parking lot. Good selection of beers on draught, all the food we ordered was delish. I don't live in Cary but if I did I would definitely return! Staff was all friendly and service was quick. You have to order everything at the bar but they bring your food to your table. read more

A nice bar to get a bite to eat and a drink. Will so go back...Poutine was not as good as in PEI but hey it was pretty dang good!
