Rustic charm with a wink -- that's their style. Step inside and you'll find polished wood and country warmth, but with surprises tucked into every corner. The bar glows under lighting as unique as the stories told across it, while the keg urinals prove they don't take themselves too seriously. It's the kind of place where craft and character collide. The bar goes on longer than most stories told across it -- a gleaming stretch of wood lined with more chairs than you can count. Soft glowing lights keep things warm and easy on the eyes, while TVs hum with the game (or the drama). But the real stars here? The staff -- quick with a pour, quicker with a smile, and just the right amount of banter to make every seat the best one in the house, they serve an old fashioned so smooth, it feels like sipping timeless charm with a twist. Lo and Behold! A bottle of SKYY behind the bar? Guess heaven really is within reach. Step onto their small rooftop patio--two staircases up and suddenly you're in your own little hideaway. Don't let the height fool you: the amazing staff runs up and down like caffeinated superheroes, making sure your drink is as perfect as it would be at the bar. Cozy, breezy, and just far enough from the crowd to feel like your secret spot, but close enough to get the same top-notch service. At Norse Brewing Longhouse cheesy dreams come true: a pimento cheeseburger that winks at you, with beer cheese tots doing the perfect cheese dance on the side. Zebulon's favored restaurant. Cheers! read more

We were so excited to give this place a try, especially knowing how successful Norse is in Wake Forest. Unfortunately, it was an out of disappointment. While the staff were very nice, there was only one person running around managing all the tables, and my salmon salad was terrible - I specifically asked how the jalapeños were cut, so I could take them out if they were too hot - and was reassured that they were cut in coins/slices and would be easy to remove. When the salad came, they were diced super tiny and super spicy - and really difficult to remove. Also, a good part of my salad was avocado, and it was so unripe that it was crunchy! When I mentioned these concerns to the staff, the lady apologized about the jalapeños and said her niece works in the kitchen and had told her that she's been throwing away the soft avocados because that means they're not good anymore. Who has kitchen staff (especially family members) that don't even know what a ripe avocado looks and feels like?!? She did acknowledge and apologize that my salad was nothing like I had expected (or they had advertised), but did not offer any sort of a discount - although we also did not ask. As the only place with actual food in that area, we had high hopes, but sadly we will definitely NOT be back. The only reason I did not leave one star is because my husband ordered the beet salad. It was tiny, but tasted good. read more

I've been here several times and LOVE their food. They also have a great rotation of beers on tap. The food is always delicious but can sometimes take quite a while to come out from the kitchen. Both times I have been in the service was a little lack luster even when there was nobody else in the restaurant. We had to hunt down our server to pay the tab. read more

Only on person seemed to be working the front of the house. She was bartending and waitressing. Had to wait for orders and drinks since she was taking care of everyone. Food was pretty good not sure I'll be back. read more

Excited to see things added to the quiet town of Zebulon. Completely disappointed. Walked in with a party of 6 @ 5pm on a Friday. One person at the bar and restaurant completely empty. Was a bit worried to see this but none the less asked the single worker there behind the bar can we sit outside. She said yes. She then walks out and says "what do you want to drink" we asked for menus and her response was "you're supposed to get them off a table on the inside". (Extremely rude) she got the menus handed them to us without saying a word and annoyed and then after 10 minutes of waiting for her to come out we walked out. On the way out I stated "we decided we're going to leave" she responded with great with a smirk. I think she was too busy talking to the lone wolf at the bar. On the way to the car the bar next door which was packed and looked like a lot of fun. If you're just looking for drinks good time and food truck save the 50 steps and stay next door. If you want a good dinner and to sit down drive the extra 10 minutes into Wendell. Complete disappointment and the redheaded forgotten step child of the wake forest location. read more

After reading reviews, we went to Norse for the first time to try out the burgers for Sunday lunch. Unfortunately only a breakfast brunch is served on Sunday. This is NOT the place to go for Sunday brunch. Maybe the regular cook was out, but the only thing halfway decent was the hash browns. Honestly think a main ingredient was left out of the heavy as lead biscuits. And every egg on every plate was horribly overcooked. Maybe we'll give them another shot for that burger someday. Maybe. read more

We love the staff here! It's a place you go to and feel at home, they remember you. Food is pretty good (I'm vegetarian so less options for me) but my husband likes their burgers! Fun friendly vibes all the way thru here. Beer selection is good too! read more

Wings are excellent! And the service help was right on spot can't remember the girls name, but she was excellent! As for ambience, it was kind of a slow night however everybody was grooving! And that's why we love Norse Brewing House!! P read more

Overall we were fairly disappointed with our dinner tonight. We felt this place had such potential based on their menu and photos. It wasn't too busy when we arrived (maybe 3 or 4 already sat tables). We waited about 15+ minutes before someone came over. We never got refills on our drinks. The burger was good but the jam made the bun soggy, making it gross after a few bites. I wish they had put the jam between the two patties instead of on the side. A friend's order was missing jam from her burger and her duck fries were covered in rosemary to the point they weren't great either. Fried jalapeños were okay, pimento came with old, hard pita bread. Service was slow. Everything came out at once even tho we asked to start with the apps. Overall wouldn't go back again, read more

Norse Brewing made its way to Zebulon. The day I was there had staffing issues so they couldn't open on time. Hopefully those issues have been corrected. Seating is mostly high tops with a few lower tables. I think they had outside seating too. Service was friendly and the burgers were great. I'd stop in again the next time in Zebulon and maybe try the brunch next time. read more

From the time we stepped into this place, it just felt right. We were greeted right away from a few smiling faced employees. We sat at the bar with a lovely gal name Tiffany. She let us taste different beers without hesitation. She ended up making me a tasty martini and my hubby got a draft beer. We started out with the duck fat fries and the chicken wings and the wings were very crispy and hot. The duck fat fries were a little cold but still crispy and flavorful so we opted not to say anything. Then we both had the Viking Burger. One with the brussels one with the loaded tots as our side items. All of those items were hot and yummy. The portion sizes were huge. We cant wait to go back to such an amazing staff that all work together to make sure your experience is the best! We live in Jax, FL but will definitely be back to see our favorite bartender Tiffany who we miss already! read more

I was a little apprehensive to come here with my little girl but boy it was a pleasant surprise inside. The place looks modern retro with exposed brick walls. The food was phenomenal with Viking burger. Salad was just exquisite and I would definitely come back just for the salad. Staff was super attentive and quick with the service. read more

Casual comfy spot in Zeb! Amazing beer selection; Phat Thor is my fave. Attentive but not "clingy" staff. The lemon pepper wings were a bit too salty for me. I LOVE the rest of their food, especially salads. read more

Great food with a modest craft beer selection. Love the atmosphere. There was live music between the bars outside which was great. You MUSt try their Duck fat fries!!! Burgers were amazing too. Plus food comes down in dumb waiter which keeps grill noise down! read more

We just happen by from the reviews on yelp and we were really happy. We stopped there. The service was great and the burger was fabulous.

Side salad with grilled chicken (seasoned) with fresh tomatoes and feta cheese and pickled onions.. No pictures because we ate it so fast! Elegance with a country vibe. read more

We were in the area house hunting looking for something nearby & had a decent menu. Was a little taken back the location & felt not welcoming upon arrival looked closed but once inside was a different opinion. Needs more decor just our opinion. Beer was not the coldest but a good selection. We had the Cheeseburger & regular fries, my hubby had The Chicken Salad & house fries said its the best chicken salad he's had in awhile. Was loaded as well. Didn't get the ladies name at the bar & waitress but amazing & fun checked on us a couple times Great Service, Food Food Decor needs something but would go there again. read more

Hallelujah! We've finally gotten our third great sit down restaurant in Zebulon that we can dine, being Southland, Margarita, and now Norse Longhouse! We gave them a month or so to get the kinks out, and Norse did. Though a brewery, Norse focuses on great and different food offerings as well as some fabulous staples. Linda and I enjoyed an app of meatballs smothered with beer cheese which Norse makes, and delicious toppings! You can't get that for many many miles. While we like some exotic dishes, for our first time we stuck to staples; they were outrageously great! Susan is the GM and truly cares about the eatery and her customers. She made us feel like family. The decor, brightness and cleanliness is superior. Ryan served us well and does so when he's not refueling jets up in the air from Seymour Johnson AFB. Thanks for both your services Ryan: Salute! Sunday, April 7th, will be the first Brunch, offered from 11 to 2. I wish I could give this restaurant a SIX or SEVEN. Try Norse Brewing Longhouse and you will love it! read more

Had lunch at the restaurant. Very good. I really want to go have dinner there. Need to find the time to do that!! The lunch was lovely. People were so friendly and welcoming. Smiles from ear to ear!! The restaurant was clean and well organized. Glad to have a restaurant like that in the small town of Zebulon!! read more

We wanted to love this place. Just thinking it was a funky brew house in downtown Zebulon. We thought it would be wonderful. it is not. we tried it twice so this review is not a one off. Both times the food was okay but the service was terrible. Both times we watched as the waitress and bartender spent a lot of time with customers at the bar while ignoring other patrons. The people at the bar were probably regulars but how can you get more regulars by ignoring them? Tonight we went and sat at the bar hoping this may help us get better service. We were wrong. We sat there for at least 5 minutes without being acknowledged in any way. Even when napkins were placed in front of us we weren't told hello. We had to ask for more water and more beers even though glasses ran dry. I could go on and on but the story would basically prove the service was horrible and we won't return. read more

Incredible food and drinks here! Susan (manager) makes this one of the best spots in Zebulon and adds such a friendly personal touch - def try everything on the menu you won't be disappointed! read more

My first time here and it was definitely a 10/10. From the staff to the food, this place was amazing and will be coming back! I had the soup of the day which was a creamy potato soup. I also had the Philly with the beer cheese! Great place for drinks and a great time with family. read more
