My review may not be your experience and it's entirely based off what I ordered and cost. There's no bang for your buck here. The plus: - Music was good (Gwen Stefani "Sweet Escape" had me vibing) - Atmosphere near the bar is perfect for feeling like you're not in an airport - Server was quick and efficient (tipped him well - Food was hot - Loves the pickled okra that came with my meal The minus: - Pricing is steep for handhelds and entrees - My fish filet handheld was filling but not $28 filling (it was small) - Fresh but lacked flavor - No place to plug in for charging My handheld might have honestly cost them $4 total (with fries). And it was small and lacked flavor. I know, I know ... it's the airport. Just not what I had expected. Still, decent atmosphere if that's what you're looking for.

It was so good and tasty I'd go back again today to have another! All their burgers are a half pound, which is usually too much for me, but this combination sounded so good I had to go for it. The burger has a combo of grilled onions and jalapeños on top with blue cheese, bacon, and blueberry jam. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, tang, and every now and then, a kick. Whoever came up with this had a brilliant idea!! It's not only a keeper, but a must have and must try for those who haven't. Sorry, no pictures. Once I took my first bite it was gone in no time! We were told the place was just bought by the new Indian restaurant next to the bubble tea shop beside them. I do hope Two Guys will remain as is because it's a winner.

Pretty neat rendition of a traditional product. I had a Heat wave burger, which I thought was going to be really spicy, but was pretty medium, for me... I am from NM, though, so I have a little bit of a spice skew. The burger was nicely cooked, and although the fries came out cold, they remade some for me that were hot and pretty good. They also had a nice beer and cocktail selection, so if you are in the mood, you can get your hop or wheat on, or marg... Nice looking spot on the inside, with either ample table or bar seating, so take your pick. This is the spot where they just announced that the theater will be closing, and demolished forever... in Park West, and I did notice a lot of closed businesses, but that I think is a separate issue relating to the ridiculous rents that they are asking for in Wake as a whole.

This was my first visit at this one; we took two seats at the bar in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. Both the dining room and bar were still quite crowded. It took a little time for the bartender to clean the bar area, but we took our seats once that was taken care of. The bacon cheeseburger on steroids is not to be missed, especially if you're depressed. Da burger, three pieces of jalapeño bacon, three pieces of smoked bacon, Monterey Jack, bacon mayo, shredded iceberg lettuce, tomato, red onion & pickles. The only thing missing...the angels singing in the background. And don't overlook the Emilio's chicken sandwich, it's a gem. A crispy fried chicken breast topped with fresh mozz, jalapeño bacon, poblano mayo, guacamole, shredded iceberg, tomato & red onion (just need pickles on the side!). The fries are hand-cut, always a major positive. I do wish they had honey mustard for dipping purposes. But the BDs sauce is still fine. Onion rings are solid enough too, they're nice and thick and come out quite crispy.

No gimmicks, just good beer done right. Food held its own too. The wings came out crispy (as they should be--no soggy situations here), and the fries were hot, fresh, and exactly what you want on the side of a cold pint. What really makes the place though is the vibe--friendly, easygoing service that feels like they actually want you there. The kind of spot you could casually become a regular without even trying. Nothing over the top, just consistently good across the board.

Rich, slow-cooked beef stew topped with a beautifully swirled layer of creamy mashed potatoes--it was the ultimate comfort food. To pair with it, I enjoyed "The First Squeeze," a refreshing wheat beer from a local North Carolina brewery that complemented the meal perfectly. I planned to skip dessert...but then I spotted the Baileys Cheesecake on the menu. Resistance was futile, and I'm so glad I gave in! It was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. With its warm, authentic Irish atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food, Trali Irish Pub is definitely worth a visit. Sláinte!

I needed a nosh before a meeting and who doesn't love an Irish Pub?…read more This was my first time visiting Trali and won't be my last. It was about 6pm and the dining room was about half full, but everyone seemed in good spirits and many were watching the World Cup. The hostess sat me at a table near the entrance and facing the bar, I had a book with me to catch up on and planned to read a bit. Within a few minutes, the server came around, showed me the beer list and asked if I wanted anything else. When she returned, she saw that I had a book and very attentively asked if I would like to be moved to a quieter table... yes please! She mentioned that a 16 top was due any minute and they'd be taking up the large bar top in the center of the room, and it'd probably get pretty loud. She then talked with the hostess, and they moved me into, the library, of all rooms... how apropos... It's literally adjacent to the open bar area, but walled off and with a definite library vibe. I was sat in a corner table and with perfect ambiance. Looking over the menu, I couldn't really decide on a dish, but I wanted something more traditional Irish. I finally chose the Boxty potatoes topped with corned beef and it was a perfect portion. Everything came out to the table quickly, perfectly hot, and portioned well. I loved the mix of flavors and textured from the baked mashed potato to the shredded corned beef, and finished every single bite. I finished two chapters of my book and was pleased to see another patron in that room also reading. All in all, a night well spent and will definitely return when I'm in the area.

Since I had some extra time before my flight, I started looking around for a breakfast spot near my gate and came across La Farm at RDU Airport. I ordered a croissant, egg, and cheese sandwich along with one of their tea refreshers, and both were very good. The sandwich tasted fresh, the croissant was flaky, and it was a solid way to start the day before a flight. One thing I appreciated was that this wasn't your typical airport fast-food option. It felt more like a local bakery and café that just happened to be inside the airport. I always try to check out spots like that when I'm traveling instead of going with the usual chains. They also had plenty of seating, so it was easy to relax and enjoy my breakfast without feeling rushed. The staff kept the line moving, and the overall process was quick, efficient, and welcoming. Overall, this was a good airport find. If you're flying through Raleigh and have some time before your flight, I'd recommend giving it a try. It's a nice change of pace from the typical airport breakfast options.

After sitting, a waitress informed us that we couldn't sit at the table because burgers had to be ordered through table service instead. There were plenty of open tables, and we didn't see any signs explaining the difference. I asked if we could simply order a couple of drinks so we could stay and eat, but we were told no. The food may be ok, and the location is nice, but the experience was frustrating and the service left a bad first impression.

It…read morebegan as a hot dog cart in 2001, moving into a fixed kiosk in 2004, still in Madison Square Park, and expanded it menu to included burgers and crisp, crinkled fries . They open the original at 10:30 and by 11:30 a line had formed, that could easily stretch for blocks of a pleasant day. There was even a Shack Cam, a webcam which allowed potential customers to see the length of the line they were walking into - this became a great marketing tool! In the 1990's thru 2014 we would travel to Manhattan at least twice a year, and Shake Shack was just the kind of unique foodie spots we would search out. We ate at the original spot over 20 times, always arriving early. The company started in NYC in 2010, expanded in other areas soon, and went public in 2015. Danny Meyer, who started the hot dog cart to aid an art project in the park, was already in ownership positions with quintessential Manhattan restaurants like Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, and the very eloquent Eleven Madison Park, among others. I have eaten at the spots in Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill, and two in Charlotte, and like most great spots that expand, it is just not the same (see Whataburger). The food is decent, more so at some than others (no real surprise there), but the uniqueness of lining up in Madison Square Park to buy a burger or a dog, or crinkled fries that didn't totally suck, doesn't translated well to a fast casual spot in a shopping center. Like with Whataburger, I'll move on down the line!
