Augustus Grill has blossomed into a first-rate restaurant that offers a wide variety of menu…read moreoptions at very reasonable prices. The indoor seating is limited - but comfortable. The spacious Deck is one of the best dining venues within miles. It's peaceful, scenic, bucolic and relaxing. Service is friendly and the dishes we have tried were well-prepared, innovative and delicious. The Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce ($21 with two sides) was as good as any I have had. The thick loin was pleasantly crunchy with a quick burst of tangy flavor. The inside was juicy, flaky and tender. The Roasted Mixed Vegetables were slightly undercooked, allowing the flavors of the Carrots, Cauliflower and Broccoli to stand out. The Potato Salad was OK, but I would have preferred something more zippy and zesty. The Chicken Salad Sandwich ($8.49 with one side) was smooth and creamy. The Toasted Multigrain Bread and Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing transformed this basic stand-by into something special. The Pasta Salad was a real winner. Unlike most bland pasta salads I have had, this one was nicely seasoned and brimming with flavor. We finished the evening with a generous slice of Cheesecake ($6) with a sweet but tangy Raspberry Jalapeño Sauce. Lunch with a grandson on the deck was a lot of fun for everybody. He had the Kids Meal ($6) which included a Hot Dog (he wanted it plain, of course), Bottle of Gatorade and Chips. We enjoyed the Pastrami Burger ($16.49 - with thin-sliced seared Pastrami, Cheddar Cheese, sliced Onion and Thousand Island Dressing) and the Hawaiian Burger ($14.49 - with grilled Pineapple, BBQ Sauce and Cheddar Cheese). The 1/3 pound burgers were served on a fresh Brioche Bun and included One Side. We can recommend either burger, but the one with Pastrami, was truly outstanding.

I enjoyed the Y'All Capone, closest to an Old world Italian, but it's better looking cousin with a twist! Country ham, shallots and a Calabrian Aioli add a deeper flavor with a splendid dusting of herbs and a hearty dose of fresh vinaigrette; it sealed the deal. I always enjoy a good dose of vinaigrette messy enough to enjoy on a baguette or roll that can stand up to it!! This was a winner, winner Italian dinner! And that's just the sandwich... being a full service butcher they offer expertly cut meats for all of your cooking endeavors. The husband-and-wife team that own and run the shop are so welcoming and friendly. You may come in as a stranger but you leave as a friend, they even shared their vinaigrette recipe with me!! This hidden gem is not nearly as hidden as I thought, no less than 25 people came in while I was there to pick up chops, steak, sandwiches and their $5.00 per pound ground beef (for now, just on Saturdays) Get it while you can!! Service, food and value served up at Bellow Butcher Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00-6ish! Best Sandwich I have had in my life!!

I tried to call before going in with her because some restaurants don't have it on their door, but also don't allow inside... their phone went to a recorded message so I figured go in and give it a try, of course they weren't happy about it, but they let me order my sandwich and we're polite and kind to me!! That's very important!! What I liked so far was even though they're busy and small they're friendly. And the young man that worked there was very kind to me!! even brought my dog a water when he brought my sandwich outside to me!! I wish I had a huge tip for him!! Got home, opened up the sandwich and to my surprise, there laid a masterpiece!! I took a bite of my Toasted hot pastrami sandwich, and I was immediately in heaven!!!' The flavors were bursting and melting in my mouth!! The perfect amount of everything put together by an artist!! Well done chef!! Well done owner!! Well done Staff!! My first time at the lunchbox definitely ensuring it will not be my last time because I have not found a more pleasing flavorful pastrami and Raleigh. I enjoyed it so much and it was so filling I could only eat half of it.!! Don't get me started on their selection of chips!! Kettle chips are my favorite and they had jalapeño queso. Nobody carries those.!! Thank you so much. Perfect blend with that beautiful sandwich.

I wanted to take a friend to a nice spot Friday June 12, he had never had the pleasure of…read moreexperiencing. I've been here many times however it was his 1st visit. I let him know the food was great, home cooked and good portions. The one thing that ruined the evening was the RUDE waitress, he walked up to the table and before he could sit down she bought my drink out, she asked what will you have to drink, he's looking confused and responds still standing, well what do you have? She rambles all the options so fast I'm not sure he understood all but made a choice. Then he sat down. She came back and slid it on the table like a fly by.. Soon she bought a hush puppy basket they were cold, I dare not complain she was so nasty and distant. Next she came back, order book open and I was like it's his 1st time, she didn't say anything, she just looked out the window and waited, so we just knew we needed to order, so I named my meat before I could finish SIDES??then he simply asks did they have bone in chicken ( I didn't know he was going to ask or I would have told him beforehand) she says no we have , fried chicken breast tenders, sisco chicken etc, she named every chicken dish on the menu without taking a breath.. I can give her props for knowing that..we both were looking at her confused and she never looked at us it was always "looking out the window " He said just give me "Flounder " one piece or two??? He replies one, SIDES??? Like we needed to be on point. She took the menus and left. She asked the questions she needed but was mean, not engaging and just rude. The WAY she asked.. When our food came this waitress walked by and literally slid our food on the table in a way that was like HERE! And kept walking I don't even think she stopped when she put them on the table she may have slowed down. We had to reach towards the end of the table to slide our plates in front of us. We both looking at each other in agreement she just nasty! The next time she came back she walked by and sat down a half glass of refill for his drink, she hadn't asked she just did it, suppose he wanted a glass of water? When we put our forks down she came over to get his plate and bought me a to go box as I still had half my food on my plate and she left the ticket. She didn't say is there anything I can get you or anything the entire time. He put his pymt with the ticket and put it on the edge of the table, I hadn't been in a while so I forgot we would pay on the way out. She was cleaning the floor near us and slid our ticket/pymt farther on our table, as if it was in her way, again he's confused so he said this is ready and she let him know to pay up front. I have never experienced such a nasty waitress at this restaurant and because of this I probably will never go back. I don't like not feeling comfortable and welcomed in a place where my money and time is going into. I started to complain before I left but in reality I don't think it would have mattered, and we left a tip not as much as we would have if she was more pleasant. I don't know whether she was having a bad day, a long day or to take it personal but I can't deal with attitude like that and won't take a chance on it again. This man drove a hour to experience this was just unbelievable!!!!

Brigs is a solid 3-star brunch spot in Wake Forest. I'm not from the area--just visiting…read morefriends--so I turned to Yelp to find a good place to eat. The restaurant was packed and had a strong 4-star rating, so with limited standout options nearby, it felt like an easy choice. My husband ordered the shrimp and grits, and I went with the chicken and waffles with a side of grits. I'm giving it 3 stars mainly because of the chicken. What came out were chicken tenders, which was disappointing. All the photos I saw beforehand showed full pieces like breasts or thighs, so getting two small tenders felt a bit underwhelming--I was honestly caught off guard. That said, the waffles were phenomenal. The grits were phenomenal. And the service was phenomenal. Overall, the ambiance, curb appeal, and especially the chicken brought this down from what could have easily been a 4.5 or even 5-star experience.
