Wow, this place has grown since I was last here about 8 years ago. The weather was amazing on a…read moreSaturday afternoon, so parking was difficult/non-existent in their lot. There are a good number of spaces, but it was just that busy. There's also street parking available close by. Lots of seating both inside (two separate rooms with tables) and outside. There were 3 bartenders working and they kept the line moving at a decent pace. The beer menu has grown quite a bit, and I was surprised to see the number of brews available. I went with half pours of a gingerbread type stout and their pickle lager. I liked the gingerbread as it had good spice flavors to it, and the lager was alright--light with a hint of salt. If I lived closer, I'd be back.

Anyway, went across the street to the Tap House. It was like 130pm on Saturday, but pretty empty. I had the pickle chips to start and was worried that I would ruin my appetite... no chance or that, as the serving, which took 20 minutes, was about the size of a large handful, lol. They were decent, but could have been drained or blotted better, the bottom was a pool of grease. 10 bucks doesn't go very far these days. For my lunch, I had a dozen dry rubbed wings with Spitfire and some other sauce on the side (website is pretty bad) doesn't mention the sauce list. One of the sauces was nice and spicy, kind of surprised they would serve that in NC, but good. The wings themselves were good. Nicely cooked, not too fatty, and a nice dry rub. Service was weird. I had not been there before, and the host... Lets just say I asked 4 times if they had a bar I could sit at, and he said he couldn't understand me 4 times, so I just walked by him and sat at the bar. The bartenders were nice, but the girl that ran my food twice talked so low that I could not hear or understand her... turnabout. Anyway, I like in Cary, and although it was OK, I cannot see myself driving out there again just for the food. If I was driving through and wanted wings, I would probably stop.

This restaurant pleasantly surprised me. I'm honestly not a huge Chinese food person, and when…read morepicking restaurants, it's usually not something I naturally gravitate toward. I was actually a little nervous going in because certain Chinese dishes tend to upset my stomach, so I tried to avoid some of the heavier noodle and chicken dishes that normally do that to me. Honestly, I think that was the best decision because I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and felt completely fine afterwards. I started with the crab rangoons, which were perfectly creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside -- absolutely delicious. Then I tried the pork-filled bao buns, which was my first time ever having them, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them too. Everyone else at our table seemed to really enjoy their food as well. I genuinely didn't hear a single complaint. We also ordered some drinks that were delicious, and both our server and the rest of the staff were absolutely fantastic and very welcoming throughout the night. The atmosphere and vibes inside are honestly one of the coolest parts of the experience. It somehow feels like a mix between a brewery, a florist, a bookstore, and a Chinese restaurant all at once. It's such an interesting and unique space that doesn't really feel like anywhere else. Overall, this was a great experience, and I would absolutely come back to try more items on the menu.

No gimmicks, just good beer done right. Food held its own too. The wings came out crispy (as they should be--no soggy situations here), and the fries were hot, fresh, and exactly what you want on the side of a cold pint. What really makes the place though is the vibe--friendly, easygoing service that feels like they actually want you there. The kind of spot you could casually become a regular without even trying. Nothing over the top, just consistently good across the board.

Seemed really crowded from the outside so…read morewe almost went somewhere else, but peaked inside, did a short loop, and a couple of bar seats freed up. Otherwise, the place was pretty full. Bartenders were great, very attentive (even though the place was busy), no folks hanging over us so we could enjoy our dinner. Food was really good and not outrageously priced, and arrived really quick! Definitely recommend the "summer salad", a seasonal option with delicious tomatoes, peaches and cheese. Falafel burger was also good and tator tots were nice and cripsy. I would definitely go again. Just be warned, the place is very loud (so you'll need to talk loud if sitting anywhere inside) and is definitely a "hipster" location. :)

Food seemed fresh across the board and overall seasoned okay as a general statement. Servers were nice and vibe seemed mostly chill even for kids and families. We also had the wings which were very mid in my opinion. They say they are smoked but sort of taste more like smoked paprika was added at the end and not like they were actually smoked in like a smoker or grill. The dry rub was pretty bland and the sauces were fine but nothing to get excited about. The drinks were okay too. We had margaritas and beeritas which were fine but not a destination maker for this restaurant . I think this restaurant combines to offer a nice place to grab a bite with friends but I don't know if I'd call it a food specific destination
