    The Rancher and Watermelon Hibiscus Lemonade
    Courtnay B.

    Dined in for lunch and had the Rancher Bowl and watermelon hibiscus lemonade (yum!). The line moved really fast, the people were friendly and the food was delicious. The food is super fresh, portion size is large and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be back!

    I stopped in here for a salad one afternoon. It was good. I saw another review that said "think of Chipotle, only for salads" and I thought that was an accurate description. Same type of service and vibe inside as Chipotle. Great alternative to fast food and likely way less expensive than getting a salad bar from Whole Foods. I particularly liked their salad dressing choices.

    I got The Rancher and my partner got Build Your Own Farmbowl with a Sparkling pineapple mint drink.

    I got The Rancher and my partner got the Build your own farmbowl. I loved mine, I'm glad I can request to remove an ingredient or replace it with something else. My bowl was a bit spicy from the sriracha sauce which is optional but very creamy from the feta cheese and avocado, so good. My partner enjoys that he can choose whatever ingredients he wants and dressing. They ask how much dressing you want too. Will come again, such friendly staff and clean establishment.

    Can't go wrong with Farmside Kitchen! Everything is so fresh and delicious and the price is downright cheap for the quality and amount of food.

    Very very good spot. The staff was super friendly and the place was really clean. They've got plenty of indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. Tons of toppings and dressings to pick from and everything tasted super fresh. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

    This is the second Farmside Kitchen location in the Triangle. This location is located in the upper level of the Waverly Place shopping plaza. There is plenty of parking in the shared parking lot. There is also also a large dining area indoors & some seats and tables outside. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by multiple employees. The staff were exceptional throughout our visit. They were very helpful in assisting us with our bowls, to-go containers, bags, drinks, etc. We got the opportunity to come for a sneak peak of the business that is opening next week. Farmside offers a variety of preselected bowl options or you can create your own bowl. They also have a kids menu, avocado toast, cookies fountain drinks such as soda & fruit juices, grilled cheese, and etc. We got to try a variety of items such as their bowls, Mac & cheese, cookies, juices & sodas. We got our food very quickly & were provided with large portion sizes. We even had leftovers. Everything tasted good and was fresh. My favorite was the Rancher & Caesar bowls. The Mac & cheese was good & creamy & the cookies were soft & tasty. I can't wait to come back & try other menu items!

    Bottom line: Farmside Kitchen in their Waverly Place location serves up some light and healthier meal options that I enjoy. I like having a choice that not only offers that type of meal but you can customize to your liking as well. Good meals so far here. The Deets: I've discovered Farmside Kitchen fairly recently by ordering from them delivery-wise using their RTP location. I found it a great way to order a pretty healthy and light meal through delivery. Now I have been able to visit their Waverly Place location in person here as well. This location is bright and clean, flow is easy to get to order your meal with a good sized seating area inside. There are a few tables outside also. When ordering, you can see all the ingredients available during each step of the process, pretty simple. They have a wide variety of choices to put together to make your meal unique or have many pre-formulated menu selections that they put together in front of you. I usually go with the Little Farmer Bowl with your choice of grilled protein, choice of grain, choice of green, black beans or roasted veggie, topping/dressing, and a choice of drink. I usually like Romaine, grilled chicken, rice, black beans, and Parmesan cheese for my bowl. Yes, it's from the kid's menu but it's just the size I need and contains all I'd like to enjoy in the meal (remember, keeping it somewhat light here). One visit I did get their avocado toast and enjoyed it as a "side" to my bowl choice. Service was adequate both visits, felt a bit rushed the first time but well served and all went well. I like Farmside Kitchen and will continue to enjoy meals from there, whether in person or delivery.

    Came here on a Wednesday afternoon. Restaurant is casual as you order at the counter. There is a limit to amount of food options you put in your bowl. I think I was overcharged as two bowls came to $38 and I followed the instructions. Quality of food is good. It was warm and fresh. Selection of sodas and fruit infused drinks.

    My husband and I happened upon their sneak peak/employee training. I have been wanting to try the Durham location for a while and it never worked out. So glad the owner and manager stopped us to invite us in. Usually I stay away from a restaurant when they are opening as they are ironing out the kinks. Not here. The service was so friendly and quick! The food was fresh and plentiful. Love they use locally sourced food. I tried the root veggie bowl with chicken and my husband had the pitchfork with tofu. The proteins were both cooked perfectly. I liked the root veggie bowl better than the pitch fork. I wanted to try the farm Caesar but thought that looked boring compared to others. Will have to come back. Lots of seating inside and out. Will be back!

    Lucky 32 is a southern inspired kitchen that puts a creative spin on its food that you can't miss…read more We went for a friends birthday and started with cocktails. I had the bourbon berry crush and it was a perfect blend of bourbon and fresh berries and mint and was not overly sweet. We also had the spicy peach margarita and I highly recommend trying this spin on a classic. It was a very refreshing margarita that was freshly made and not overly sweet. The shoestring okra is an appetizer that you have to try. I honestly could have eaten two plates, it is perfectly crispy and a bit spicy with a great aioli dipping sauce. We also had the heirloom tomatoes with goat cheese and the pork rinds and pimento cheese. They were all devoured and enjoyed by all. I ordered the cornmeal crusted catfish with grits and blistered okra. I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed a meal so much. The catfish and the grits paired together perfectly. We also had jambalaya and pork schnitzel. I can't wait to return. The waitress was very knowledgeable and the ambiance was great for a girl's night. They even brought a cake out for the birthday we were celebrating.

Next we ordered the cheeseburger lettuce and tomatoes, pickled red onions, pimento cheese and a green salad. All of our food was prepared well and the flavors were on target. They packed it up in two to go bags: one for chilled items and the other was for hot to go takeout. The service is accurate and efficient with fast takeout to go with assistance getting everything in the car in handicapped parking was a nice touch that showed empathy and compassion. I highly recommend Lucky 32 to everyone because our experience was 5 stars plus.

They have a wonderful outdoor seating area, too. The menu is simple, but everything is very good. The standout is the fried chicken with French fries and green beans. It's large enough for 2 people! There's a giant parking structure right next to the small parking lot in front of the restaurant. When you exit the parking structure, follow the exit sign for Chatham Street. It's steps away from Hank's!

    Don't let the name fool you, this place is the furthest thing from a dive bar that I've ever seen…read more It's almost as if they were going for irony with the name...let's make a really upscale restaurant and call it a dive bar!! It would be like renaming the Angus Barn to something like the Beef Shed. I'll start with the two desserts...we couldn't decide between the three desserts they had so we settled on two. Both were freaking amazing. Almost ordered the third to go. The Chocolate tort with Nutella gluten free was creamy and deeply rich in flavor. The Espresso Panna cotta with strawberries was lighter and subtly sweet and perfect. I also couldn't decide between one entry so I got the Vietnamese pork chop and the smoked wings in plum bbq sauce...the pork chop was just okay but everything else that came with it was really good...those vegetables rocked! Now the plum wings...that's unusual and was definitely something that was downright flavorful...I would get them again for sure. My girlfriend is gluten-free and picked this place just for the GF chicken and she was blown away. I tried it and I was blown away. Usually GF food is not good, grainy, and lacking real depth...not this place. This was in all likelihood the best gluten free friend chicken I've ever had and it was half of a freaking chicken! Soooo many fries. We ended up taking half of it home and it made a complete second dinner the next day reheated in the air fryer. Definitely somewhere we will return very soon. The atmosphere is cozy and small and the perfect place for a date night. Also, their GF chicken is better than Beasley's GF chicken...just sayin!!

    Went here for Christmas Eve at the recommendation of a friend (who has never eaten there himself,…read morehe only drove by and admired the place) Our party was a bit skeptical on if this place were any good but we ended up very satisfied. Service was excellent. They played Christmas music which really was special due to it being Christmas Eve. I really appreciated that, and I feel like everyone else did too. When you looked around the restaurant, everyone was having intimate family meals for the holiday. It was really sweet, hard to explain. We ordered the: - Chicken Frances - very good 10/10 - Lamb lollipops - excellenttttt 12/10 - Beef Carpaccio - I didn't love this, the sauce overpowered it but just wasn't my taste. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Looking forward to returning and trying more items on their menu.

We started off with a round of drinks, I had wine and my husband had the Mexican Herbalist (delicious). For dinner, we had the special of the day (steak frites) and the short rib. Both were good. The steak was cooked as ordered medium), but didn't hold heat well, as it was a little cool when it arrived. We ended the night with the Apple Gallete, and it was good. The crust was a tad chewy, but it was still pretty delicious and paired nicely with the ice cream.

    This was my first time eating here . I love grilled wings so I decided to try them. I called to…read moreplace the order and the server said they don't take orders over the phone, but I didn't want to place it online because it didn't have a comment section. So I then asked if I could place the order and get all flats , she didn't understand what a flat was so I had to explain that, and she eventually told me she'll let the grill know. I get there to get my order and check my food and low and behold , it's drums in it. So then another server comes and I told her the situation and she said I could get a refund or they could remake the 3 flats that were drums . Then got the manager and ended up telling him just to make it fresh which I waited about ten mins for . I get home and I realize , THERES STILL DRUMS . And they gave me the old wings anyways and just 3 fresh flats which I didn't want my old food back there anyways because I figured that would happen but let's just say this: NO OVER THE PHONE ORDERS AND THEY CANT DO ALL FLATS . They need to better train the server. Update dec. 2,2023 So I came here a second time and this time dine in. Did NOT like the experience. They literally ran out of silverware and my steak got cold waiting for one so I didn't even want it anymore and on top of that, the chimichurri was DISGUSTING. They said there was nothing they can do about there being no silverware and they can't just "pull it out their ass" . Didn't even offer plastic .. Took forever for food and drinks. Never got my water. Or napkins. Ended up having to order nachos only cause it was the quickest thing to order without needing the silverware . A different waiter actually helped get those nachos and faster service to me. Don't believe I'll be going back at this point. First review before the update was a year prior to 2023 review. Haven't been back since .

We noticed MacGregor Draft House within walking distance. Of course airline pretzels and stroopwaffles left us feeling a bit like the Donner Party but 10PM also says eat light or invite Stephen King into your dreams. Staff were all exceedingly accommodating and genuinely friendly. The space was large and with a good crowd watching Oregon wishing they missed their flight to Atlanta but pleasantly the noise level allowed us normal conversation without requiring screaming and me sitting on my wife's lap like a huge toddler. The bartender was quick and efficient whipping up a very welcome Paloma and a frosty beer. We ordered tuna (truly fresh like there was a dock nearby) nachos. While initial order input mistakenly delivered onion rings they apologized and comped the rings and quickly brought correct order. Very fortunate mistake as the rings were the right balance of beer batter to onion. Highly recommended!

I will say the bartenders are very nice, and the food is exactly what you'd expect at a bar. Also, they accommodate large groups well (usually in the dining area from my experiences). Mixed drinks are hit or miss, depends on who's making them. Overall it's a decent place for HH.
