Service was SSSLLLOOOWWW. It felt like our server was not interested in serving tables. Even basic things like topping off our water, seemed like it took forever. He needed some training on etiquette, when our bill came he was hovering over us paying, it felt like being bullied to tip him a certain amount. Honestly the tip was forced, for the service we got it wasn't worth much of a tip. Then only after paying did we noticed charges that were never told to us while ordering. Why would a server not notify you if something is extra or an up charge? When we brought it to his attention he seemed to not care that we didn't know or that he didn't say anything, nor did he take the initiative to correct the problem. Management may need to spend some time on upping the servers game. Training is key to success. Meh experience.

They have of course Irish drinks, but they also have kolsch from Germany, red ales from England, and Belgian beers, to boot. They also have a pretty broad menu, with a variety of items that are Irish or Scottish. Having been to both, I was excited to try some of their foods. I found that they were just okay. I've had better versions of everything I ate, and I think the key problem was seasoning. Things were just not seasoned very well. Service was very attentive. The food came out in relatively good time. They also have plenty of nice booths and a warm atmosphere with lots of wood. On the walls are vintage Guinness prints, like any good Irish pub. So it feels authentic.

It's been a while since I had Lonerider's beer and at one point it slipped my mind to write a…read morereview about it but then I realized there was still a review I haven't posted yet for the brewery and decided to rectify that oversight. We had three different beers from this brewery, one in which appears to be no longer in production. The discontinued one was a pale ale by the name of Peacemaker. It was refreshing and enjoyable to have. Flavor features with this beer are that typically seen with a pale ale which are hoppy, malty and sweet. The beer is very light bodied which is nice and very smooth. Unfortunate that it's out of production. The other two beers we had are still being made. One was Shotgun Betty which is a Hefeweizen. Not bad but sometimes I struggle with Hefes and the strong banana clove flavor which was the case here. It was good that it was light bodied like most Hefes are and smooth also. The final beer was the Sweet Josie Brown Ale which I think was my favorite. The sweet, malty and coffee flavors are very enjoyable and like the prior two beers a nice smooth body to this fine dark beer. I am glad I recalled this brewery experience as I felt it was important to post the beers we had and what we thought of them!

Bottom line: LongHorn Steakhouse at Brier Creek yielded a mediocre experience this time. Longer…read morewait than expected for seating, long wait for food to arrive, and noticing a lack of flavor in my steak itself factor into my impression here. The Deets: Before heading into holiday grocery shopping with some friends, we decided to stop in to this LongHorn Steakhouse located in Brier Creek. For a Monday evening, they were still pretty crowded and we had a longer than expected wait to be seated. They were indeed full inside the seating area when we were shown to our table. LongHorn has a pretty extensive menu as one expects from a steakhouse chain. I decided on the Loaded Potato Soup to start out with here and it was pretty good but not exceptional, again what would be expected from a steakhouse chain here. For my meal I went with Flo's Filet 6 oz choice with rice pilaf as my side selection. I have to admit, while the steak was cooked as ordered it did not really have much flavor to it even for a filet as well as lacking in overall presentation. While the steak flavor was disappointing, the rice pilaf was good and there was plenty of it. My friend looked pretty satisfied with his ribs selection and it was a huge portion as well. If I come back in the future, I may change up my selection to see if my experience can improve. The overall speed with us getting our items we ordered was very slow. Our server was very nice and friendly (even extremely talkative) but the long delay receiving our ordered items was definitely something we all noticed. Overall, it was a chain steakhouse experience as I've pointed out a few times, not much else here and our hunger was satisfied before hitting the grocery store.

I suggested The Goat based on…read moreYelp reviews and because it was convenient to her meetings and Interstate 40 since she lives in the Charlotte area and was driving home that evening. Vickie was already there when I arrived and had ordered the Queso Skillet. It was a great way to start the meal. The sausage gave it a nice flavor and paired well with the queso. Although The Goat has a full bar, we both opted for soft drinks. I had a club soda with cranberry juice, which was mixed well and refreshing. After enjoying the sausage in the Queso Skillet, I ordered the Nonna Tavern Pizza with Italian sausage, caramelized onions, banana peppers, and basil marinara. Whatever blend of cheeses was used, the pizza was delicious. I also had a side house salad with apple vinaigrette, which was very tasty. Vickie ordered the grilled salmon and said it was quite good. The service was very good, and the space has a modern industrial tavern feel with upscale farmhouse and brewery-inspired design elements. It feels casual and comfortable while being more polished than a typical sports bar. One feature that sets The Goat apart is its coffee-and-breakfast concept. The coffee, breakfast, and work area is separated from the main restaurant and resembles the kind of modern, uncluttered coffeehouse you might find in a contemporary hotel or airport lounge. It creates a welcoming space for morning coffee, breakfast, or remote work before the lunch and dinner crowds arrive. After my visit, I learned that The Goat is operated by LC Hospitality, an Ohio-based company that has expanded the concept to several states. The Brier Creek location is one of multiple Goat locations, giving it the feel of a locally focused establishment while benefiting from a larger hospitality organization. Overall, this was a good experience. The food was enjoyable, the atmosphere was inviting, and the prices were reasonable. The combination of restaurant, tavern, coffeehouse, and social gathering space makes for a unique dining environment in the Brier Creek area.

The menu online as I write says the 12 oz. 28 day aged ribeye is $29.89 including grilled mushrooms, roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes. I recall being slightly disappointed that baked potatoes were no longer an option, but the food was so good, that was not an issue. Service was good, the food was good. I thought it was worthy of the occasion. I have been to this store on at least 6-8 previous visits, although I did not usually get steak. I usually got one of their sandwiches. I liked all those I've had. There is another CAH closer to me that gets terrible reviews. It's worth it to me to drive a little further and go to a store that has given me good food and service on multiple occasions.

Carolina Ale House Review - 3/5…read more It was our last day in town, and we wanted something quick while still getting a taste of some local favorites. Since Carolina Ale House was close to where we were staying, we decided to give it a try. The atmosphere definitely had that classic ale house vibe, with plenty of local beers on tap along with other familiar beer options. It felt like a nice casual spot to unwind and grab a bite. We all ordered something different, which was nice for variety. I had the hibachi shrimp, while the others had tacos with chips, and my son kept it simple with chicken tenders and fries. The food overall was okay, but my dish was a little disappointing. Everything on my plate--between the soup, pilaf rice, broccoli, and shrimp--seemed to carry almost the exact same flavor, so I didn't really get to enjoy the distinct hibachi taste I was expecting. One highlight for me was definitely the spicy margarita--the flavor was delicious. My husband also really enjoyed the "Ale Yeah" 16 oz. Bloody Mary along with one of the local North Carolina draft beers, which was a nice touch. Our server, Trevan, did a great job taking care of us. He was accommodating, attentive, and made sure we had what we needed throughout our visit, which we appreciated. Overall, I'd rate this place a 3/5. It was a decent stop for a casual meal and drinks, but the food could have had a bit more flavor separation and wow factor
