    Steakhouse Mac & Cheese Bites
    MK W.

    I went specifically to get the Christmas Koala and he's adorable. I ordered the Gingerbread Fizz but asked for the Coke to be replaced with Diet Coke just due to taste preference and they were very accommodating, even asking me to let them know if it wasn't good since they had never made it that way before. Server was very friendly. Service was prompt. Food was as expected.

    Food: 5 Service: 5 Ambience: 4.5 Date/Time: 3/21/2024 7:30pm Order: Spicy Jammin' Meatloaf Crowd: 3/4 full Their upped game is still going strong! The noise level is still high but the seating to the far right of the entrance has less of it. The online waiting list feature is nice when you suspect the restaurant might be full. It allows you to put yourself on a list before you arrive so the theory is you wait less at the restaurant. When you find something good, why order anything else? :-) Went with the spicy meatloaf again and it didn't disappoint! 2 thick slices of meatloaf with a spicy sauce on top goes well with a baked potato and broccoli. If you like meatloaf and you also like some heat, try it, and if heat isn't your preference, have them put the sauce on the side and try a little of it. The meatloaf itself doesn't have any heat to it. Oh, and that bread... YUMMM! Service was excellent! I wish I had remembered her name as she was very attentive and really worked to take care of her customers! Again, try this location out and don't let the lower overall star rating scare you. It's a very good experience and highly recommended!

    A mediocre meal at this location. The restaurant was about 75% full at prime time on a Friday night. Seating was quick. Service very efficient, friendly and accurate. The pace of the meal was quick, about 10 minutes from order to service. Tried ribeye and bbq'd shrimp. Both were room temperature at service. The steak, ordered medium rare was served rare. The steak was at least 40% fat; not a great cut of ribeye. Steak was very tasty - nicely seasoned. Shrimp similarly seasoned and also tasty. Had the food been hot this would have been a great meal. Also tried filet and lobster. The lobster and melted butter were refrigerator cold. The filet was served rare instead of as ordered - medium. Steak was very tender and delicious. Lobster cooked perfectly - not too rubbery with a nice crunch to each bite. Again if this entree had been served hot it would have been excellent. Overall I'd say proceed with caution. It's a reasonable meal for the price but execution can be sketchy.

    Some family members and myself stop by this location after an appointment in the area. The hostess very friendly and cordial. Our server- equally so- the food was prepared per specifications- I had a cup of delicious potato soup & a chicken filet sandwich- there had the salmon entree and rib eye steak entree- all delicious. Located in a convenient location- close to near by's interstates and routes - accessible parking and wheelchair accessible ramp. The team will open the doors when needed l! A favorite!

    I visited Outback to redeem a reward that was shown on my account. Unfortunately; when I placed my order the take-out cashier alerted me the reward didn't show on her end. Management came to speak to me and explained a situation of a company called "yayy rewards" actually issued the credit and I said I needed to contact them for resolution. Clearly, this left me annoyed & frustrated. I continued with my order because I am lazy and didn't feel to cook or wash dishes. The bacon cheeseburger was tasty and so was the loaded baked potato . The staff member that checked out my order was friendly and helpful as much as she could be. Luckily I'm a frequent DARDEN group patron, so I don't have these issues normally. Unika B. & Co.

    Service was slow & they weren't busy. We had to ask for things several times. The drinks & food were good. The Spicy mango'rita was good. BUT hot. lol. I had the seeds a few times. It wasn't a bad drink. Although I couldn't taste any liquor. Just be prepared for the hotness. I had the Queenslands chicken and shrimp. It was okay. I ordered the Cinnamon Oblivion dessert to go. It has baked apples, cinnamon croutons, ice cream, etc. I tasted the cinnamon crouton, it was okay.

The service was top notch as well. All of the wait staff were friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, and took care of our large group well. I started with the Old Fashioned Flight, with their Aged Old Fashioned, one with Old Forester 1920, and one with Buffalo Trace that they said was their restaurants pick. The first 2 were really good, but I think they gave me the wrong drink, because the one with BT didn't taste like it had any bourbon in it at all. But the waiter switched it out for me with a Tequila OF, which was really good. They brought out two salads for the table, and their Cesar Salad was really good, the dressing was so good. I ordered the Australian Lamb Chops, which were amazing. Simply seasoned, but done so well. I ordered a side of Chimichurri sauce, and it was not needed at all. My wife had the meatloaf, which was delicious, and the group all enjoyed their meals and drinks. We left full and happy. I definitely recommend you add this place to you list if you've never been.

    We're new to the area and have now visited Oak Steakhouse twice. Both visits were wonderful overall…read moreand we'll definitely keep coming back. The restaurant is beautiful, cozy, and comfortable, and the hosts and servers have been excellent every time. We made reservations once through OpenTable and once by phone -- both were easy, and reservations are probably a good idea since they stay busy. The food has been great both times. On our first visit, my husband and I shared the ribeye and loved the flavor. Their Caesar salad is also surprisingly unique and delicious with broccolini instead of a traditional Caesar style. I also really appreciated being able to order a single Rockefeller oyster since most places require a half dozen minimum. The second time we visited for an early Mother's Day dinner with my son and shared the off-menu tomahawk, which was excellent as well. The only consistent issue we've had has been steak temperature. We usually order medium, but their interpretation of medium has come out significantly more rare than expected. The first time, we had to send the steak back, and they asked us to identify only the undercooked portions to recook separately, which was a bit awkward and something we hadn't experienced before at a steakhouse. The second time, we tried being more specific and even requested an approximate temperature around 140°, but the steak came out closer to medium-well. That said, the flavors, atmosphere, and service have been so enjoyable that we'll absolutely keep coming back. We're just hoping we can eventually land on the perfect medium steak on a future visit.

Venue: it is good sized venue, ambient and has upscale elegant - classic theater type of look. Went to the small room area in the back to the left past the kitchen. Food: I have tried crab shrimp bisque, cheese steak roll, calamari, NY steak and cheese cake. The shrimp bisque was good but I've had better- for example near by Capital grill and definitely not closed to any of the bisque at fisherman's wharf. But you know what, when I got chunk of crab and shrimp I started to change my mind that it was getting pretty good. Cheese steak roll was pretty good but real rich. Calamari had good flavor but extremely sweet. The whole table agreed that there was unnecessary amount of sugar in there. Steak was nice and thick- however it would've been better if it had more salt and seasoning. The steak was cooked perfect medium rare. Texture was soft but I was slightly suspicious of meat tenderizer in there. Just a thought. Cheese cake was good but again, I've had better. Service: service was good. Although since it was table size to acclimate a party - everyone was attentive. Price: in my opinion it is overpriced. I.usually put price insight in the beginning but I am giving my insight on this last because- overall the experience and food was good. However, for the price to the whole experience ratio is not worth it for me to come back.

Surprisingly, despite the restaurant being empty, we had to wait about 30-40 minutes. The staff kept telling us our table was "getting ready," which was confusing given how quiet it was. Service throughout the meal was quite slow. We started with the shrimp appetizer, which was good. We initially ordered oysters, but were informed 10-15 minutes later that they were unavailable, so we switched to calamari, which was just okay. For entrées, we ordered steak, crab cake and crab stuffed shrimp . Steak was served on a large plate with a very small portion and no sides included. At that price point, you would expect a more substantial serving or at least accompaniments. Dessert was the highlight -- we tried the crème brûlée, chocolate cake, and carrot cake, and all were enjoyable. One odd detail: the check was split into two without the server asking how we wanted it handled. Overall, for a higher-end steakhouse, we expected better service, smoother communication, and more attention to detail. The ambience is nice, but the experience didn't quite match the price or expectations.

We got the following: Grilled Caesar salad was pretty decent for what it was. Duck Poutine was quite underwhelming. It was pretty cheese fries with duck on it. Not quite the typical poutine that also has gravy on it. Blood Orange Crème Brulee was my favorite item of the three we had. You could taste the blood orange in the crème brulee which was amazing. The portion could have been a big larger. I was expecting it to be in a small coffee cup. I could have had another one easily. All in over an average experience. Not sure if I will go back!

You'll want to park on a side street and walk up to the restaurant. When you walk into the restaurant you'll be transported to a dark, warm, intimate, and buzzy neighborhood vibe. I'd definitely recommend booking a reservation to ensure you are able to get a table. Once we were seated I started by ordering the Long Time Listener Cocktail (Bourbon, Blackberry, Mint, Fernet-Branca) which was excellent and probably my favorite drink of the evening. For my other drink I tried the Structured Settlement (coconut washed tequila, peach, popcorn orgeat, and lime). This drink was also good, but not as good as the long time listener. For food, we started with the Manchego-Herb Biscuits which were flaky, soft, and didn't need any butter. After that we tried the Heirloom Tomato Salad (provencal granola, mozzarella ice cream, and peaches) which was perfect. The large tomato with the crunchy granola, olive oil, and mozzarella and peaches were the perfect blend of flavors. I couldn't stop eating this dish. Next, we tried the Half Smoke Sausage (roasted peppers, garlic aioli, balsamic onion jus) which surprised me. The sausage had a bit of a spicy flavor, the roasted peppers were prepared perfectly, and overall the flavors paired perfectly together. We also ordered the Bucatini (sea urchin, gulf prawn, spicy tomato sauce) which was good with the pasta and all of the flavors mixed together. The last appetizer we ordered was the yellowfin tuna crudo (honeydew, Fresno chili, shiso, tom yum ice) which was perfect. The sliced honeydew with the raw yellowfin was so good!! For the entree we split the Grilled Bavette Steak (potato rosti, shishito pepper, and sauce choron). The steak cut like butter and was cooked perfectly. For dessert we ordered the blueberry upside down cake (popcorn streusel, sweet corn ice cream) which had fresh blueberries and I couldn't stop eating this dish. I'll have to add Crawford & Son to my regular Raleigh restaurant rotation as this meal was excellent. Looking forward to my next visit.

    I have visited several times and have always loved my experience. The food is outstanding, the…read morehostess has always been warm and welcoming, and the servers are an absolute delight. However, during my visit for dinner yesterday, I witnessed something that was extremely disturbing and completely changed my impression of the restaurant. I observed what appeared to be the manager, Bailey, reprimanding the hostess and then reaching toward and touching/grabbing at her cleavage area while saying something to her. The hostess appeared to be very young, possibly around 19 or 20, and she looked visibly uncomfortable and frightened. I sincerely hope this young woman is okay and that this situation is taken seriously and thoroughly addressed by Crawford & Son. No employee should ever feel intimidated, uncomfortable, or subjected to inappropriate physical contact in the workplace. The only reason I am leaving a one-star review is because of what I witnessed and what I perceived as deeply inappropriate behavior toward this young hostess. I hope management investigates this matter immediately.

    Wow. Visiting Raleigh for work and (sorry) ChatGPT came through with a solid recommendation…read more Great decor, and of course amazing cocktails. My client loved his burger and I had the lamb burger which was delicious and spicy (and a bit over-sauced so definitely a 5-napkin burger!) And then dessert. Too good to take a picture: Lemon coconut Chess pie. GET THIS PIE! It was SO GOOD. Our server was so sweet (and sassy!) and heard us rave, so she gave us another slice for the road (proud to admit I had it for breakfast!) Will definitely be back next time i'm in town

The Lamb Burger was incredible the last time we had it, but today it came out closer to medium-well and was overcooked and very dry. The WK Burger was much better. It was juicy, flavorful, and the bacon was a good addition. The collard greens were also delightful, with just the right amount of spicy kick. Unfortunately, the entire experience was overshadowed by the flies. There had to be at least 20 houseflies constantly buzzing around and pestering us throughout the meal. It was difficult to relax and enjoy the food. Whiskey Kitchen is normally a solid experience, but the excessive number of flies completely killed the mood today. Three stars because parts of the meal were good, but the dining environment needs to be addressed.
