Simply Delicious We have been looking for a good seafood restaurant since we moved away from the coast; and we have found one in Rolesville. Granchio is a straightforward, outstanding eatery that serves perfectly prepared dishes that are creative and flavorful. Portions are generous and the seasonings imaginative. All the staff (servers, chef, owners) are friendly and welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a real 'feel-good' place to enjoy a sumptuous meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While there are a some tasty pasta dishes and other options on the menu, the shellfish creations are the stars of the show. My favorites are the BOIL BAGS. The 1/2 pound portion comes with one Corn on the Cob and one large Boiled Potato. The one pound portions come with two each. Choices are Shrimp; Snow Crab; King Crab; Lobster Tail; Green Mussels; Black Mussels and Crawfish. Sauce options include Cajun, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Butter or Granchio House (a combination of all three). You can also chose between mild, medium or hot spice levels. The Black Mussel Boil Bag was absolutely delicious. The Mussels were slightly sweet, tender, plump and cook just until they opened. I chose the House Sauce seasoned somewhere between medium and hot. It was perfect - tangy, zesty, peppery, buttery and loaded with flavor. The Potato was large and the Corn drenched in the great sauce. I added the extra Sausage and had plenty for a filling dinner and lunch the next day. Another delightful surprise was the Blue Crab Ravioli. The ample pasta envelopes were stuffed with succulent Maryland Blue Crab and fresh Ricotta Cheese and covered with a creamy Red Vodka Sauce. Again, there was enough for an ample dinner and leftover lunch. We can also recommend either the Shrimp Cocktail or the Fried Oyster Appetizers. The Shrimp were just the right size, perfectly chilled and served with a zesty cocktail sauce. The Oysters tasted fresh and the spicy Oyster Dipping Sauce was just hot enough to get your attention. Another favorite is the Snow Crab Boil Bag. The flavorful snowy white meat locked up inside each leg takes a little work, but is worth the effort. It is sweet with a slight hint of the ocean and a pure delight when paired with the lively House Sauce. Finish you feast with a large serving of heavenly Tiramisu. It will put a smile on your face. read more

Came here at 6 on Friday and asked for a table of 6. They said it's a 30 minute wait. There's 4 empty tables of 4. I asked if we could move a 2 seater table to make a 6 seater table. They said no. I asked if I could move 1 chair to the edge of a 4 seater table to make 5 seats they said no. If the tables are reserved or if the restaurant is full I understand. But as a small business owner myself the answer is always yes. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've ever said no to my customers in the last 30 years. Surely nobody's perfect. We all have good days and bad days. But definitely not coming back to this place. read more

The seafood pasta is incredible. You can taste the real garlic (not powder), the tomato sauce looks home made. All seasonings are fresh, It is well made and delicious. Just giving 4 stars because they forgot to add extra shrimp on my pasta as I ordered and the appetizer fried calamari was not crunchy and came after our plates. So they have good potential, just need to be better on little details. read more

Granchio is a small full-service restaurant in Rolesville that has an interesting menu. Much variety. They specialize in Seafood & Pasta. And they also have wings. Seafood is not southern style. There are boils, as well as pastas and some fried baskets. We were delighted to discover they are open all day on Saturday, so getting hungry at an off-time (around 2pm) served us well here. There was only one other couple in the place, and Emily provided totally charming enthusiastic service. This Gal loves her job and loves the food. I tried the Granchio pasta with Mussels, Shrimp, Clams & Crab, with their signature sauce. Came with a piece of plain white bread. It was tasty, pasta and seafood cooked ok, but it was way too oily rich for my taste. Heavy on pasta and oil, lighter on seafood. Crab was one small piece. Shrimp large. Clams small. Mussels good. Seasoning was a light Cajun. This dish was crying out for some veggies, imho. I ate the seafood and took most of the pasta home and mixed in a ton of fresh spinach, while avoiding some of the oil. Husband's meal was fantastic. He loved the fried shrimp and their seasoned fries. They use a panko breading. Shrimp again were very large and even their cocktail sauce was delicious. Not in a horseradish way, but just in a very fresh way. Speaking of fresh, the side salad he ordered with blue cheese was very fresh and made him super happy. Will definitely go back, but in my case, I would order differently. Would also love it if they had some kind of lighter seafood option, such as grilled or blacked seafood. read more

This restaurant is located in a shopping plaza with a shared parking lot in front. There were several tables inside but the business isn't that large. We came during the week & were seated right away. Our server was nice but not overly personable. I ordered the shrimp basket which was served with fries. The shrimp was large and tasted good. My fries were seasoned well and my food was hot. The chicken wings were large and tasted ok as well. After we ate our service came & brought out our check without asking us if we were done. After our bill was paid we didn't leave right away but the server never came back to get our dirty trays. I would possibly return for the food and hope for better service. read more

Looked up the review on yelp and found this place in rolesville. It does not have a lot of seating and I do see a lot of pick up orders. So plan accordingly. We came early on a Friday evening around 6 - the place was about half full. Very nice and attentive staff - cleaned a table and sat us down. We like the fried calamari - dipping sauce was great and not overly battered. My 10 year old loves the fried fish basket with sweet potato fries. He didn't care for the Cole slaw though. Hubby ordered 1/2 pounds shrimp and 1/2 crab legs in the house sauce. It was pretty good - came with corn and potatoes. I just had a salad - nothing to complain about. When we left we saw more ppl strolling in. Nice find relatively close to home. Will come again and try other dishes. read more

This spot is hidden in plain sight! We literally passed it a few weeks ago. I thought it was something completely different. I'm so glad it was recommended & we decided to give it a try. Overall, we really enjoyed the vibe, food, & superior service. It's been a very long time since we've had services like Fahn and Nikki provided during our visit. I was impressed! The food was DELICIOUS! I appreciated the seafood boil being served in a tray vs. in a bag and bucket. We went for dinner here. There were plenty of places to sit inside, but it appears many people order delivery/takeout. We will definitely be going back for more Bang Bang shrimp & seafood boils but also to try their other food options. As someone who doesn't drink alcohol but loves mixed drinks, the only thing I'd change is possibly add one or two mocktail options to the menu. read more

Lovely local restaurants. Waitress was very nice and personable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience is welcoming and nicely decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall a great experience that we will for sure revisit. Wife and I got boil meals which were delicious. She got the plain with hot spices on the side to share with the kids and I got the Louisiana with hot spices. Highly recommend the hot spices with their Granchio sauce. Also, if you are a Margherita person gotta get the passionfruit Margherita. read more

Granchio is a newer restaurant in the Rolesville area. It is on the smaller side with some tables and high top tables. It is both a take out and sit down restaurant, although not full service. Ordering is done at the counter. Although when you enter they let you take the menu to a table to look at and then go back to the counter to order. It would be easier to order from the table or just look at the menu at the counter and order from there. Service at the counter was friendly and the owner did come out to check how everything was. I went with the fettuccine alfredo and added shrimp. It was delicious and the sauce not too heavy. I got the lunch portion and the portion was generous. I would have enjoyed the visit here more if it was full service as with the large menu that just makes it easier. Then you get your own beverages and bus your own table too. Hopefully they will figure out a better way to operate the dine in part of the business. I will return here again and try other menu items but will likely just do take out next time. read more

Why is this place not getting the big crowds it deserves --of course, I wanted to gate-keep this spot for ourselves too but they are amazing! The food was not only neatly plated, but it was all amazing! Hands down, the best seafood in RDU area where the house sauce is not salty or garlicky like other places + Alfredo sauce was not heavy but just right. Very small business, leaving the service to be top tier and very personable. Since seeing other previous reviews, they have changed to full service and take orders at the table. Will definitely be back as a regular customer! read more

One word: Delicious! I ordered a steam pot with crab legs and shrimp. I mixed the granchio butter with lemon pepper perfection. Everything was cooked perfectly! The shrimp and crab came right out of the shell, the butter seasoning was excellent. You scoop up some of that seasoning with your meats and it's amazing. The potatoes and corn are a perfect match with the boil. The best part, everything was so reasonably priced! So many seafood boil places are so pricy and this place is pretty reasonable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a intimate little spot but definitely worth the visit! A gem for sure![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This was my first time here and more than likely will be back. The food was just ok but the service was great. The crab legs were mediocre and did break cleanly. The fried fish was very tasty. Granchio does offer a pleasant break from off the hook. read more

Granchio Seafood & Pasta Restaurant - Seafood tray with 1lb snowcrab legs with sausage added. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Rolesville, North Carolina

Granchio is ALWAYS as ordered and perfectly prepared. I've probably ordered from 10 to 15 times and they've never disappointed. Folks might sleep on their wings (especially Lemon Pepper) but they are done well and can give some rivals a run for their money. I've eaten at the restaurant and ordered for pickup/delivery. Granchio is fire! read more

I called in an order for pick up. I ordered a seafood bag with crab legs, corn, potatoes, shrimp, and sausage with medium sauce spice. It was AMAZING! When I walked in the girl waitress was a little standoffish. However, when I got to the register the guy who checked me out was soooo sweet! He greeted me, asked me how my day was, and etc. i told him it was my first time and I was referred by my best friend. Oh and let me add that their grade was 100.0A! I was so shocked you don't see that a lot in restaurants. Anyway my food was hot and fresh. All of the food was fresh. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it and we will be returning. read more

Fantastic food, quick and excellent service, very consistent! My wife and I have been three times and each time was superb! Best kept secret in Rolesville/Wake Forest!! We will be back. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more

Wonderful service and amazing, flavorful food! Easy to get to from Wake Forest and Raleigh!

I'll start with the good, some of the best tasting Italian/Seafood that we've had in the area in a long time. The quality and portions are great! It's a new place and they're still figuring some stuff out but I encourage you to at least come and give them a taste. We spoke to the owner for a little while afterwards and he's very nice and was very receptive to our feedback, chef even came out twice to make sure everything was good. What to expect... it is not a full service dining experience. You walk in and order at a counter and then they bring your food to your table. When it isn't busy if you order cocktails and an appetizer there is a chance that your drinks, appetizers, and food will all come out around the same time. We brought that to the attention of the owner because that is what happened to us. They should almost submit that part of the order first, keep the tab open, and then enter the second part of the order so that the first part gets a head start. They could also do with having a floater to see if anyone sitting needs an extra cocktail or anything after their food comes out, nobody wants to have to get up and wait in line again for another drink. The food- the bang bang shrimp was some of the best we've had and that's putting them up against Five Star downtown and Shuckers in WF. I had the blue crab ravioli and there were plenty of ravioli stuffed with a generous amount of crab, the sauce was delicious. My wife had the Granchio pasta and more than enough seafood tossed in a very flavor Cajun butter. The food was great I really wish it was a full dining experience though, especially for the price and quality. I encourage you to give them a try though, we will definitely be back to try the seafood boil next. read more

We stopped in last night for dinner understanding that they're new with patience expecting some hiccups. (No hiccups) They just got their wine license and are still waiting for beer stock and liquor licensing. I believe my girlfriends and I ordered the first bottle of wine. The menu is pasta and seafood.. when I saw the boil bags.. I was ready for an elbow deep mess. We did start out with the bang-bang shrimp and they're probably the best I've ever had. The shrimp were huge, battered well and the sauce was ah-mazing. The star of the show- I had the #1 Crowd Pleaser with crab legs, mussels, and shrimp with corn and potatoes. Granchio House sauce.. just do it. Really. We ordered garlic bread later just so we could sop up the buttery-seasony goodness. It's a Cajun like blend, I got the low spicy but they can adjust the heat. My girlfriends both had seafood as well and really enjoyed it. Wine and bibs.. couldn't think of a better girls night. Be kind, be patient, you will not be disappointed! Can't wait to go back and actually try the pasta! Service was great, food was awesome! read more

Great good and service! The calamari and crab legs were amazing! The seasoning was just right.

Wow! The food is spiced just right . Shrimp is a hard food to get the spice right and they got it right !!! . We shared a boil of crab legs (2) and shrimp (plenty) two potatoes and two corn it was plenty for two people. The host/waitress was so friendly and accommodating.. If you want a good seafood boil this is your place . They have other stuff on the menu also read more

Service was slow but friendly and may be due to short staffing. Dragon fire margarita was more like cotton candy and not drinkable. Fried fish was a bit greasy, but the french fries with parmesan truffle were great. Cajun pasta was a bit bland. If you order the boil, know to order extra spice if you like spice. read more

My family of five went there on a Wednesday evening to celebrate my birthday a couple days early. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was ample parking, and the restaurant was bright, clean, and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was only one other party in the restaurant so it was easy for us to get seated. My son ordered two kinds of wings, extra crispy, and the truffle Parmesan fries. The rest of us ordered seafood boil, which had shrimp crawfish, and snow crabclaws. We tried the house sauce and the garlic butter, both mild and medium spice level. We also ordered the bang bang shrimp as an appetizer. People are not kidding when they say this is the best seafood place in the surrounding area. Our family loves seafood, and this restaurant did not disappoint! Service was friendly, courteous, and attentive and she offered to take our group photo . Don't hesitate to try this place out if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed! Can't wait for our next visit! read more

We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food here. We ordered the calamari, Granchio pasta and the Cajun Alfredo. We had two delicious cocktails as well, but I was brought the wrong one. I didn't fully realize that it wasn't the correct cocktail because they have two lemon drinks. The calamari was a little chewy but the two entrees were yummy. The server seemed to see a little more assistance because the restaurant was full when we were there. Despite being spread thin, she offered good suggestions and the bartender was also helpful. I would like to go back and try some additional dishes. read more

Absolutely horrible experience! Ordered a dish and after 2 bites, decided that I did not like the dish at all. When I asked to have it replaced with something different, the manager stated that since I ordered it, I would still have to pay for it. Mind you, I only sampled it twice then asked for a replacement. This is totally unacceptable and in my experience, unheard of. I do NOT recommend this establishment. read more

Excellent restaurant. I had crab stuffed ravioli with vodka sauce. So good. My friend had garlic spaghetti with clams, mussels, and shrimp. Amazing. The service was outstanding. We will be back soon. read more
