First of all, I hate to give a negative review, especially on a local business. My wife and I have…read morevisited this place on multiple occassions, usually after our workday on Saturdays. I ordered their "smashburger" double with frenchfries. My wife ordered a $9 basket of fried dill pickles and an order of fried chicken gizzards. Next, a rundown of what we received. Well, the "smashburger" was not smashed. It had 2 beef patties that were clearly not smashed by definition. They were cooked from a pre-formed patty with a somewhat tough texture. There was so much "burger sauce" on it that it was running all over the plate. Next the crinkle cut fries. They were "undercooked" believe it or not. I know properly cooked when I bite into a fry. Next, the chicken gizzards. My wife took one bite and looked at me and said "they taste like they've been dredged in salt. And, the did. Inedible. Lastly, the fried dill pickles. $9 basket with little more than a handfull. The $9 was not the issue. They were cooked nearly beyond recognition. A fork would not even penetrate them they were cooked so hard. When I brought that to ine of the waitress' attention, and showed her, she said the "cook" had no control over what came out of the bag. That was not the point. The point was they were cooked ao much, they were inedible. Oh, but the Coors light we ordered were up to snuff. Well, I paid the bill, in full, left a good tip. The waitress did not offer to make anything right in order to bring us back again. So, we won't be going back. Sorry, but we didn't do it. You did.

Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. The Boardwalk Fries are an absolute must. They're piled high with rich gravy, tender, melt-in-your-mouth pot roast, and creamy, gooey cheese. Every bite was incredible! What really made our first visit stand out was the hospitality. The owner even came over to welcome us and chatted with us for a bit. He was such a genuinely nice guy, and it made us feel right at home. Great food, great people, and a great experience all around. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

The bartender Ryenne, I think that's how you spell it, approached us and started promoting for a bar in Spring Lake called Pyrates. Been there. I would never suggest anyone going there. It has a lot of problems. I don't how the owner feels, but if one of my employees was to be promoting for another bar, they would not have a job anymore. Also I noticed her serving a group of guys I work with on Bragg. The problem with that is most of them are underage. I've informed my chain of command as to who they are.

I've been a fan of the wings at the Moonrunners in Garner for a decade. I was excited when they…read moreopened this location. I like to visit Black River Tobacco Company about once a month and get food either before or after having a cigar. The nice thing is they are open late enough here to get a bite afterwards even as late as 930p. I'll start off with what's good...obviously the wings, that's almost my go to every time. The pork belly on a stick is a knockout! Honestly, you could order toast or a bun, cut these in half and put them on and it would make a legendary sandwich. It's extremely difficult to find good onion rings anymore. Most of them are GFS or Sysco pre-made crap in most restaurants. Here they are beer battered and made from scratch and fried until nice and crispy. Ask for ranch as a side. I would get these over the fries every time I go. I think the best thing on the menu is the Brisket bomb grilled cheese...OMG it is insane. It's freshly smoked brisket, pimento cheese, caramelized onions on Texas toast....bro....pair this with the onion rings and you got a 5 star meal for under $20. Now the one thing I wouldn't order here...steak. This is not a steakhouse. Not in the slightest. I would put it not he same level as Cracker Barrel or Waffle House in the this category. Think cut steaks that seem to be of select grade...just no. Don't do it. Go to Texas Roadhouse or somewhere that specializes in steaks. They're kind of pricy here at $37 for a ribeye...you can get a fat hand cut one that's almost a couple pounds at TR for that price....just pass on steak and stick to the BBQ or burgers. A lot of the sharable are good. Haven't tried the salads. Drinks are decently priced and well made. The vibe of this one is a lot different than Garner. Here it's more "clean new restaurant with a country style" vs "Dive bar that was rescued" in Garner. Pro Tip: If you're leaving Raleigh headed down 95 after work, it's easy access off the highway after you get out of Raleigh traffic and want to stop. They are fast here as well so it's a good quick meal.

Moonrunners is a surprisingly nice spot inside. It was on Bar Rescue but I think the one that was made over is their original. I think this is their second spot. Clean, sharp, and way more polished than you'd expect from a bar that proudly serves moonshine flights. The menu is huge -- classic pub fare with a Southern lean. The ribs were a little dry, but the sauce came in like a hero with a cape. The club sandwich? Really good. The kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid‑bite and go, "Okay, I see you." And yes, I tried the moonshine flight. The peanut butter cup flavor shouldn't work, but it does -- like dessert that decided to join a biker gang. Overall: solid food, great drinks, and worth the detour inspired by a man who cleans pools for a living.

Our waitress was pleasant and professional, also very helpful with our selections. I've been trying Caesar Salads with chicken at a few restaurants and comparing them.

But when I asked for more the waitress brought a container and it was a delicious elevation for that salad. I cleaned the plate! Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. Nice atmosphere but it was early around 5p when we got there so not many guests there yet.Good experience!

Fresh and lots of items. I got myself a small salad to start and went back to the table to eat it. Server came around and I asked for another plate and he told me that my steak only included one trip. I didn't see on the menu in the tiny print that it was just one trip. Every steakhouse I've been to that has a salad bar has unlimited trips. Had I known, I wouldn't have wasted my trip on a tiny side salad. I put part of the blame here on the server as well. Service was slow and it wasn't busy. I should also mention that everyone ahead of me at the salad bar has never been to a salad bar before and didn't understand how it worked and that it moved in one direction... I got a ribeye rare and it was mostly rare. It didn't really have much flavor, not sure what type of grill they use but there wasn't any special seasonings or anything to make it stand out, no woody smoke flavor or anything. My side was kind of plain and a disappointment. I had planned on leaning on the salad bar when I ordered it. Dessert was pretty good though. I'd honestly get a steak down the street at Cracker Barrel over this place...1/3 of the cost and you're not gonna leave hungry like I did here.

I wanted to send it back but the services was so slow I didn't want to wait any longer. The taste was okay but just soooo over cooked. The salad bar was my side option. You can go to the salad bar as one side. I must say. Yes. That was probably the best part of the meal. Lots of fresh ingredients. The Mac and cheese was good but was nothing to write home about. I can only speak on my food. But everyone had an over cooked steak. I went with coworkers. And kind of shares the appetizer. Shrimp cocktail was wonderful. Big shrimp. Juicy. Fresh. The grilled oysters. Where bland. Came out in a bowl. Not on the half shell like I had expected. The location seems nice inside. Clean. But very crowded.
