    A view of the restaurant
    Mali B.

    I stopped by Happy & Hale and made my own chicken protein bowl and overall, it was a great experience. The guy who prepared my bowl was super kind, patient, and made sure I got everything just how I wanted. I asked for a bit more rice than usual since the scoop looked small compared to the customer before me -- there was a $1 upcharge, which was okay. You can choose three free sides, which is a nice touch, but I do wish the bowl was filled a bit more and that there wasn't an up charge for more sides. The Thai vinaigrette dressing I got on the side was flavorful and tied everything together perfectly. Even with a few small tweaks I'd make, the food was tasty, the service was great, and I left satisfied. I'll definitely be back to try a different combo next time!

    I stopped by one morning for to grab a smoothie before going to appointments. There was no one dining in, but there were a lot of people getting takeaways and picking up online orders. I had ordered a City of Oats smoothie. It was actually quite filling with the oats that is a main ingredient. It was a really tasty smoothie, great for a quick breakfast on the go. The restaurant was clean and organized when I visited. The decor is very simple but quite cozy. They have plenty of tables and chairs inside. When the weather is nicer, they also have plenty of chairs and tables outside. I would definitely come back to try other things on their menu.

    Friendly service, decent smoothies, and has outdoor seating too. I didn't try any of the bowls but they look pretty good. Definitely a healthy spot! The aqua fresca type drinks looked tasty. All of the employees were friendly and checked in on us to see if we were helped yet.

    Ridiculous portion size - my husband ordered the protein bowl and this is what he received

    This was my very 1st time at Happy + Hale and let me just say the food was simply amazing! The veggie, protein & sauce diversity was so refreshing to see. I am currently on keto and making a keto friendly bowl that was both tasty & healthy was so easy to do. My bowl, in fact, was so yummy that I grabbed an extra one to go! Also the staff was so friendly too and did great job explaining the menu and their fav options and combos! I will for sure be back whenever I am in the RDU area!

    If you want to look like Christian Bale But for now you're more like Christian Whale I have a solution To body pollution Get cleansed down at Happy + Hale Weight loss is an inspiring tale And makes you feel better without fail You don't have to be wealthy To try and eat healthy Just come down to Happy + Hale So if you live with your Mum and your Papi Or alone in a place that's quite crappy Just go on a diet You'll be glad if you try it Happy + Hale will make you so happy! Each region seems to be inventing its own style of salad places, and most are anywhere from pure crap to iffy and mediocre. But not this one. The Triangle's own does have its issues, especially at the "Bull" Durham location, but they're well worth their salt (or lack thereof), and one of my 5 fave salad chains in the country, hands down (or hands up, if you feel like celebrating). So it's another new location for this wonderful salad place specific to the Try-Angle, which has excellent products and gives a decent-sized salad as well. Every bit as good as the much more busy version in Durham, but better because I've had some nasty experiences at the Durham one lately. Employees are angels at this one, and I really like it a lot. So much so that I brought Bae here, and she loved it too! We absolutely adored the salad, and while we ate half of them here, they were still good after sitting for hours, in a hotel room later. The chicken that she gave me was good but, one big problem is that they insist on you taking protein which factor into the cost, which isn't too cheap - and a lot of people don't want protein on their salad, myself included. It should be cheaper without the protein, for sure. The toppings and scoops are pretty good but the dressings are a real strong point with the wonderful chipotle pepper one, other than the incidence of sugar in it, is a very very good dressing, in fact I love it. If there's a down side to this specific location, it can be kind of a nightmare to get into this part of the plaza, and heavy traffic to get out, so watch out. And as I said, it's not a huge portion, they force protein on you factored into the price, and it's not cheap... but I love it, and it's better than 95% of salad places including 100% of the ones in NYC and DC, which is the region that invented these places. So instead of the usual epic salad fail, come and get an Epic Salad @ Hale!

    It's right across the Hyatt hotel where we stayed. Went here for a quick lunch. We ordered two Create your Own Bowls. Food was very tasty and it had lot veg and meat options. I wish they had Fafalfal as veggie protein option. Overall great place to go for a healthy meal, Good portions, Good vibes and Good Prices. We will be back.

    Bueno Bowl

    Did a group order and several of us got bueno bowls, and a variety of other bowls most of them absolutely perfect looking like the photos, neat fresh and organized, and then mine and one other turned out like this? It was 95% rice with 5 pieces of chicken and I couldn't figure out why it looked like it was dropped on the floor? Also the dressing didn't come on the side as it always does. Very confusing.

    Pink drink featuring hair!
    Matt C.

    Food is really good. But we have now found hair in our food on a couple of occasions. This is my story. Unfortunately this last time was the straw that broke the camels back - my fiancé sucked up a piece of hair out of smoothie.... I can't even begin to find the words on how disgusting that is. It's one thing to see a strand of hair on your food and remove It, it's another to unexpectedly just slurp up HAIR. I understand happy and hale pride themselves on their all natural food, healthy, blah blah blah - when did someone's hair become all natural? I understand this was likely an accident, but when you are a restaurant, accidents and mistakes like this are not acceptable. As I mentioned, this is not the first time we have found hair in our food here BUT it's the first time in MY LIFE I've ever seen this happen 2 starts -- proceed with CAUTION. Unless you like hair. This is your spot.

Good reason to come back. Started with prickly pear margarita with mescal. Yum! Had a white wine after. It was ok. My friend and I shared 4 bruschetta's- smoked salmon and pesto, artichoke, caprese, and apple, Brie and fig. Favs were smoked salmon and apple and Brie. The fries were amazing. Salmon board was good too. The bread on the board was much better than the bruschetta. Ambiance is great. Service as well. Will be back!

Their roast beef panini is on par with Portillo's a long standing Chicago beef restaurant (IYKYK). I've NEVER had a beef sandwich that was better than Portillo's but Postino you managed to take a hometown classic and elevate it to a point beyond my expectations - if you get this sandwich I recommend getting it on the ciabatta bread versus focaccia. Let's not overlook the tomato soup - it's so rich and flavorful. For a lighter lunch my go to is the tuna panini with broccoli salad. They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta. For date night enjoy a Violet Femme a gin cocktail that tastes as lovely as it looks. The service here is top notch! Everyone is fantastic. I'll have to come back to this review to note the serves names we've had because they have all been exceptional. Now let's talk about the vibe! Postino's nailed the indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of windows that are open on nice days, plants galore and the decor gives you a cool like rockstar but classy feel. 5 stars doesn't feel like enough.
