    The best dominican food in Raleigh. I will say that for sure! The people were really nice as well. Im from NYC where Dominican restaurants are very common and this made me feel like I was back home.

    The food is good and consistent. I can see they're making progress and changes to the restaurant. I just think they're overpriced.

    The food is good at times but they over charge and make up prices. Overall it's a good place to get home cooked food Dominican style.

    Stopped by Oak City Brewing Company on a recent trip to Knightdale. When you arrive there is plenty…read moreof parking available on the street. When you walk up you'll be greeted by an old house now turned brewery. The brewery itself has a fun vibe inside the house and the beer is excellent. There is also plenty of seating outside of the brewery. I ordered the hazier than a Georgia pine (New England ipa) which was perfectly balanced and smooth. My partner ordered the weathervane wheat blueberry which was fantastic and had a good balanced fruit flavor. Overall this brewery has great beer and chill vibes. Definitely check it out if you are in the Knightdale area.

This adorbs little spot is in a renovated old house right on the main street of charming Knightdale. I was there on a quiet weekday afternoon, and enjoyed a glass of tasty seltzer while my friend tried one of their IPAs. They have both their own brews as well as several guest taps. The place is clean and bright, and they have a nice-sized beer garden out back as well. What really set them apart was the service, though. From the beertender to the friendy folks at the bar, I left feeling like I'd made a few new friends in North Carolina!

    I found Garden Bar here on Yelp and went on a Saturday. They are not too crowded and the bar is…read morenear the front. Great prices for a nice mimosa or beer to enjoy while shopping and you get to keep the cute cup. The staff were all extremely helpful and guided me through their greenhouse helping me find things that suited my needs. They had a private party in a room off to the side that is semi-private. I could see a bit and it was very cute and a nice size for hosting. There were not many plants outside on the front and the greenhouse was nicely stocked but not full. So some may consider the selection a bit small, but it was still nice. They had tons of beautiful pottery and lots of supplies to also choose from. The prices on some of the plants seemed high for other places in the area I've seen the same or similar. I would definitely come back!

    I've visited this delightful garden twice now, and each time was an absolute joy. The first visit…read morewas a serene blend of exploring the captivating outdoor and indoor garden spaces. To top it off, I enjoyed mimosas while my other half savored his beer - a perfect way to unwind. The second trip was for a recent Halloween workshop, and it was a blast! Plus, I received a free mimosa for wearing a witch hat as part of the workshop festivity. Ample parking spaces. Dog friendly the recent time I went. The fusion of the garden's natural beauty;a well-stocked bar (no coffee); and creative workshops is a clever concept that ensures there's never a dull moment. This place is a gem for anyone seeking a unique experience. Can't wait to return for more adventures and invest in more plants!

    We were only in Raleigh for a short family trip and wanted one memorable dinner. After reading the…read morereviews, we decided on The Crunkleton--and it exceeded our expectations. We arrived on a busy Sunday evening without a reservation and were told the wait would be about 40 minutes. Instead of simply putting us on a list, Alfredia, the host, immediately made us feel welcome. She even offered me a cup of ice water after noticing we'd walked over in the summer heat. A few minutes later, she found a way to get our family seated much sooner than expected. That small act of kindness set the tone for the entire evening. Our server, Toni, was exceptional. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic, he guided us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations. Every suggestion was spot-on, and it was obvious he knew the menu well. The food was outstanding. The Duck Flautas were a great start. The She-Crab Soup was rich and flavorful. The Wagyu Burger with caramelized onions, truffle aioli on brioche was excellent--my son says it's the best burger he's ever had. The Mediterranean Chicken Piccata was beautifully prepared with confit fingerling potatoes, charred asparagus, goat cheese, sun-dried tomato tapenade, and piccata sauce. We were so busy enjoying dinner that we completely forgot to take photos until dessert--which probably says everything. The Beignets with cold brew icing were excellent, and the warm Brownie with salted caramel ice cream was the perfect ending to the meal. What also impressed us was that Chef Jonathan stopped by our table to check on our meal, and Ravin, the General Manager, took time to welcome us personally and make sure everything about our visit was going well. We never felt rushed. Great food may bring people through the door. Great hospitality is what brings them back. The Crunkleton gave our family one of those dinners we'll remember long after the trip is over. The atmosphere is stylish without feeling pretentious, the service is genuinely warm, and it's clear that everyone there takes pride in what they do. If you're visiting Raleigh--or if you're fortunate enough to live there--I would absolutely recommend giving The Crunkleton a try. We left talking not only about how much we enjoyed the meal, but also about the people who made the evening special. Thank you to Alfredia, Toni, Chef Jonathan, Ravin, and everyone behind the scenes for making a simple family dinner into such a memorable experience. We absolutely will be back.
