We purpose to order different items and we haven't had a dish we didn't like. However, fried pickles are a regular in our ordering repertoire. I like how there are televisions at every angle so you don't have to crane your neck just to see a game your table mate is fervently watching. The staff is more than accommodating when you have a game/match request to watch too! Would we recommend? Absolutely! Will we be going back this weekend? Of course!

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!

This is a hidden gem for Durham! Although it's not a new brewery (the first one is in Raleigh),…read moreit's new to Durham. It is tucked away and behind a restaurant.

This is one of my favorite places to meet friends! I love their fish tacos and the fact that I can…read moreget their fried green tomatoes as a side!! I decided to branch out and try the Parisian Grilled Cheese -- Brie, ham, and raspberry preserves-- and it too me right back to my favorite cafe in Ireland! The tomato soup, a must with grilled cheese, was bright and fresh, fragrant with basil! Definitely check out the test kitchen menu-- there are always fun new dishes and every bite is delicious! I'm usually with a group of 4 and more, and the service is always prompt and friendly!

Ate here recently with a family member. We started off with the fried green tomatoes. I'm not…read moregenerally a fan of this dish, but these were the best I've had: solid (though not hard) tomato slices, well-fried, covered in feta bits, with an interesting dip. We followed by sharing three entrees: 1) the Wisconsin grilled cheese sandwich (swap sourdough for wheat bread): good basic grilled cheese, the apple slices were thin and not super crispy, I didn't think they added more than a smidgen of flavor, 2) shrimp and grits: not as cheesy as many, with a little kick to the shrimp, and 3) classic mac & cheese. Classic, but also basic: next time I'll go for something more interesting. We finished off with the banana pudding, which was disappointing: many slices of hard, flavorless fruit. We split on the whipped topping: I thought it was good, fam said it tasted like Cool Whip. Service was good, server asked if I wanted a refill when I started getting low.

Pretty good, not great. The service is quite friendly, but the quality is inconsistent…read more I've had their pizzas and the veggie wrap. The pizza wasn't authentic, too greasy. The wrap was just a salad in a tortilla... no proteins, no "wow!" dressing. If you're looking for mildly overpriced food in a family/bar setting, they hit the mark. And for bellying up to the bar to chat with locals. If you're drawn by "menu looks good with higher prices so it must be really good," this isn't for you. Sadly we were trying to find a new spot to eat as a group, and while this place can be cozy and inviting, it falls short on the food. It was packed so it must be a local favorite! Give them a try, it may be for you!

Stopped by for an early lunch with my son, just after opening…read more The interior is nice, clean, and has a cool, darker vibe, but I will say it feels more suited for a later meal or evening setting. If it's a beautiful day, I'd definitely recommend sitting outside instead. Still, the inside has a cozy, laid-back feel that works well. Shoutout to Qua, who was both the hostess and our server. She was welcoming, attentive, and handled everything smoothly, even as a few more parties came in while she was the only one serving at the time. One thing I really appreciated was that she let us know upfront what items were out of stock before we even looked at the menu. That level of transparency is huge and makes the experience so much better. My son ordered a slider with fries from the kids' menu. It comes with just one slider, so I ordered a second, definitely the right call. He enjoyed it, and the fries were cooked well, just a little on the salty side for our taste (ketchup helped balance that out). I had the shrimp tacos. It's packed and perfect portion for lunch. The shrimp, pineapple slaw, and chipotle mayo was a nice mix. The restaurant was clean (including the bathrooms). The location is also a plus, super close to the Art Museum, which makes it a great stop before or after visiting. Overall enjoyable, and I'd come back, especially to try more of the menu and the drinks.

The Angus Barn is a MUST if you are around the Raleigh area. We can't get enough of it!…read more From prime rib that melts in your mouth to kabobs, this place has it all. Christmas time is beautiful, as they decorate the ceiling with garments and ornaments and other decorations around the massive restaurant, but reservations are needed no later than 6 months in advance. If you're fine waiting 3 hours for a table max, then you will be fine. Every single time we come to Angus Barn, something is different. Now they give you a soup or salad with your meal, along with bread! The cheese and crackers are famous among the people and are a great way to start your meal. The bread is so fresh also! All components in their house salad is great. Everything is awesome! The prime rib is tender and has such good flavor. Their mac n' cheese is the way to go. Their recipe is constantly changing. Like what I previously said, something is different every time you come to Angus Barn. The chocolate chess pie is the best I've had. This is a MUST when dining at Angus Barn. You HAVE to get the chocolate chess pie. The service is some of the best in the restaurant business and all do a great job at explaining things. So kind and professional! Once again, if you're around Raleigh and don't come to Angus Barn, you are missing out. I highly recommend you come. So good!

Large groups are never easy, but service stayed organized and patient throughout the meal. The pizza was good, thicker crust, plenty of cheese, and a solid amount of sauce. Nothing fancy, but very satisfying and exactly what you want from a neighborhood pub/sportsbar. The chicken tenders were also a hit and came with beer-battered fries that were crispy and hot. Looking around the table, most people seemed genuinely happy with their food, which is always a good sign with a group this size. Pricing felt reasonable, portions were fair, and no one left hungry. I debated between four and five stars, but given the group size, execution, and overall experience, this one got bumped to five stars. A dependable spot for gatherings.
