    Choose A Burger - Angus Chuck Beef burger Sweet Potato Fries
    Jana J.

    I always love to come to Karondas on my vacations to North Carolina. I love the 6 piece chicken tender appetizer tossed in the asian chili sauce. The frog chips are great

    Cheesesteak sandwich with "frog chips" & Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries.

    Great food, great prices & great service! Cheesesteak sandwich was unique, on Texas toast. Took the chance to get the frog chips and they did not disappoint, thicker than a normal chip but still crispy! They were delicious. We had beer as well and were excited that they had a good selection including several Red Oak beers.

    Stopped in for lunch with my mother in law on the way to her doctor's appointment. She had been to Karondas many times but I had not and wanted to try it and I love me some good bar food. The place was nearly empty at lunch time on a Thursday, not a good sign. They had CBS on one of the TVs so my MIL got to watch Y&R while we ate, she was happy, lol. One server was working and she was very friendly and efficient. My MIL got the ribeye sandwich and loved it. She gave me a bite of the steak and it was very well seasoned and super tender. Her side was the friend green beans, loved these too. I ordered the club with awesome onion straws. The sandwich itself was okay. The turkey and ham were sliced much too thick which ruins a club for me. The rest of the toppings were tasty but a bit sparse, I removed the middle piece of bread to make it heartier. We told our server we had to leave by 1:30 to make an appointment in town and she was great with our time constraints so kudos to her. I might return if I'm out that way but wouldn't make a special trip.

I also happened to be there for Music Bingo night, which was fun! As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed bag. The fries were great actually. Very crispy, well-seasoned, and exactly what you want with fries. Sadly, the chicken tenders, were a tad overdone and a little on the dry side. Their breading was good though. That being said, the vibes, the beer selection, and the entertainment are top-notch. I'll definitely be back for another round of Mango Cart since I know they serve it well!

On this weekday during happy hour, we had a bad experience unfortunately. Our server was amazing though! Giving her props for her friendly demeanor and great service. Drinks were also cold and refreshing. Where it turned sour: our Chef's Special appetizer plate. The mozzarella sticks were hollow. Not just thin, but completely hollow with no cheese, just an outer shell. The "beef" empanadas had no beef inside. Again, mainly hollow with only a little cheese inside. Overcooked and almost impossible to chew. They were also out of some pickled items that were supposed to be on the plate, and they substituted some old strawberries, which definitely did not complement anything on this plate. We were here for a full meal, but we stopped here and did not order our main courses. ***MOST IMPORTANTLY*** Some employees were engaging in activities inside the establishment, which are not conducive to a restaurant in any capacity. A call will be made to management and/or the owner(s). We're highly hopeful this is a one-off experience and these issues will be rectified going forward. We love this place. We've had amazing food and evenings out with friends and family here. We want to be back, and I would love to update this review in the near future.

My triple-decker BLT was huge! Great proportions and plenty of juicy bacon, with a tasty side of well seasoned onion rings. My wife's chicken tostada came in a fried, crispy and fluffy tostada shell that was light and delicious. All of the kids loved sharing the tenders, boom boom shrimp, wings, and cheese curds. Everyone found something they liked -- the menu has a good mix for both kids and adults. The atmosphere is laid-back, with TVs on every wall showing just about any game you'd want. Our server was spot on, friendly and attentive. She was in the middle of training a new staff member who shadowed her the whole night, and she didn't skip a beat.

This time I decided to keep things a little more Atkins/keto friendly and ordered a grilled chicken salad and a cup of chili. The total came to just over $26, with the salad alone costing almost $17. I understand prices have gone up everywhere. I can accept that. What I can't accept is paying premium prices while the overall experience falls short. The first issue started before I even got inside. The restaurant was packed, and customers were parked all along the curb directly in front of the designated to go pickup area. That completely blocked access. It took me nearly ten minutes of circling the parking lot, backing up near the dumpster, moving again, and eventually squeezing my truck into a parking space (in the "to-go" pick up area where I'm supposed to be anyway) just to pick up my order. When you're that busy, parking becomes part of the customer experience. At some point management needs to step in and help keep traffic moving instead of allowing the pickup area to become unusable (don't tell me I'm wrong because I'll tell you what not only did. I have to navigate that situation due to cars being along the curb in front of the to go area, but two other vehicles that were parked in the to go spaces had nobody in them and I was there for 10 minutes waiting for my food so those people were inside eating in the restaurant I presume-given that I observed their empty vehicles for a total of 20 minutes). To be fair, the employee who brought my order out was excellent. She greeted me with a smile, was friendly, professional, and was easily the brightest part of the entire experience. Then I got home and opened the salad. For $17, this was honestly disappointing. The chicken, bacon, and toppings had simply been simply tossed in there, while the rest was mostly plain, sad looking lettuce. It looked rushed and careless, especially considering the price. The first of several photos are exactly how the salad looked the moment I opened the container on my kitchen counter. I hadn't touched it or moved anything around. The last photo, however, my awesome lady was able to turn that same salad into something amazing in just a couple of minutes. SHE chopped up some pepperoni that we already had in the refrigerator, diced a little Colby Jack cheese, added tomatoes, mixed everything together, and finished it with ranch dressing and a level 10 appearance on the plate. She didn't have to cook anything. She simply took the time to prepare it the way a $17 salad probably should have looked when it left the restaurant. The chili was good, and I'll absolutely give credit where it's due. Drake's still has menu items I enjoy, and I've had plenty of good meals there over the years. But when you're charging premium prices, customers deserve the same level of quality whether the restaurant is half full or packed to the walls. Being busy explains delays. It doesn't excuse lowering the standard. I genuinely hope Drake's takes this as constructive feedback because I know they can do better. I've seen them do better!

Great casual atmosphere, the staff have really come into their own, and the food is simple but has little touches that often make it a small cut above most other sports bar type places around. My favorite things to order are the smashburgers, chicken philly (almost as good as the one at Old Town, a restaurant also belonging to this same owner), and now the fish and chips. I decided to get those last night, and the fish was two good size thick cod filets, fried and breaded perfectly. The fish was flaky and tender, the remoulade it came with really elevated it, I'm glad it was not plain tartar sauce (gross). The appetizer favorite here is the pulled pork nachos for me, otherwise, we usually just get meals. If I had one small complaint, it's that the tea is usually brewed pretty weak. Steep it a little longer, and you've got me fully hooked.

We loved their homemade dressings. Service: Our server was great! Attentive, kind, and offered to let us taste test. She also was helpful in her descriptions and recommendations. However, our experience fell short upon arrival. The hostess said they don't have a table for 5 but we could add a chair to a 4 top. And when I said that's not a comfortable or reasonable set up for 5 people and asked if we could push two tables together, she seemed annoyed. Who thinks it's acceptable for a party of 5 to sit someone at the corner point of a 4 top table when there are open tables all around? Management advice: If this is truly your approach, I'd recommend you rethink that logic. This is basic hospitality.

The drinks from the bartender were great, but the service experience could have been better. The attitude and overall energy felt a little off.

I understand they were getting closer to closing and focused on cleaning up, but we had to go out of our way--almost waving or being extra noticeable--to get their attention. Also, when we asked about the specials listed on the flyer, we were told there were no specials, which was disappointing and felt like false advertising. The food was good, although I do wish it was served a little hotter. Overall, it was an okay experience. The music was great, and the atmosphere had a nice vibe.
