OTR Stir Fry with Shrimp
Monica B.

We went to Over The Falls for my birthday dinner on a Tuesday evening. It was a very good experience. Great atmosphere. Our server and other restaurant staff made sure the experience was a great one. Food was delicious. We most definitely will go back and try something different from their menu.

Overall the food was really good. Everything seemed really fresh and everyone enjoyed their food. It was also priced really well And I think you get good value for the money. It is really hot though. I really wanted to try the wings but I know I would have been sweating up a storm if I did. The Soda also doesn't taste like either coke or Pepsi products. Overall we would go back but with NC right now being in a heatwave, it's kinda hard to make it a top choice.

The food was amazing. Best crab dip I've had in years. Service was excellent. The ambiance was perfect. I highly recommend this place for a couple date or a group night out.

Crab and shrimp linguine without bacon

Really enjoyed the food and service. The staff was friendly and the crab and shrimp pasta we had was delicious. I ordered the banana foster pound cake to go and that was good as well, but not as moist or soft like I prefer. I had the berry basic as a mocktail but there was too much carbonation so I couldn't taste any of the flavors. I did not like having to wait outside or for my friend to arrive before being able to be seated, but I guess that's their policy. There's plenty of parking lot parking available as well. I would return to try more food because they have an extensive menu and daily specials.

Overpriced, $9 for a glass of house wine and $7.50 for local microbrew draft. Food OK but better choices

Never had a bad meal here. We love how family oriented it is and cozy. One of the best here in Wake Forest.

This no-frills bar is perfect for those that just want to hang out and eat good food. I haven't been to a low-key bar like this before and I loved it. Everyone knows each other and they're all just out for a nice time out. It is an older group, definitely a local's place. There's one pool table that's coin operated if you want to play a round. They also offer karaoke if you're brave enough. Our waiter was awesome, super easy going and nice. Not to mention, he brought me a second tea before I was halfway done with my other one! That right there is an immediate extra star on my review. We all ordered hamburgers. I had the candied bacon and jalapeño cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. It was delicious! I can't believe I've been in WF for almost 3 years and have never tried Mackey's but I will definitely be back. If you want a good dinner with a relaxed atmosphere, Mackey's is a great choice. Support local!

We tried Pat Murnane's last night and we were all pleasantly surprised. It was a Saturday night…read morearound 6:45 PM and we expected the place to be packed, but it wasn't. The bar area (with plenty of tables for dining) was packed and looked cozy, but the main dining area is huge and had only a few tables in use. We questioned our restaurant choice, but decided to keep an open mind and give it a try. We are so glad we did! The food was really good. Nice presentation and clearly, whoever prepared it is truly passionate about their job. The portions are large, so expect leftovers. We ordered a fried shrimp appetizer (similar to bang bang shrimp) and a chicken quesadilla as starters. Each could have been a meal on its own and both were delicious. (It's typical bar food - but done well.) For our main dishes we ordered Shepherds Pie (server's recommendation and favorite menu item ), Northern Fish Fry (cod); and a simple cheeseburger with bacon.. everything was tasty, nicely prepared, and again...large portions. The Shepherds Pie came with fresh steamed veggies that were wonderful and a nice surprise. *Note that cod is the Northern Fish Fry- but they also offer a catfish version. The wine was 50% off both by the glass and bottle, I believe that is their typical Saturday drink special. They have a prime rib special on Saturdays as well that is supposedly delicious, and served only until they run out. There is an 8oz or 12oz option. The server was fantastic as well. She was very attentive, knew the menu, and clearly enjoys her job. What more can you ask for? Prices: Our total bill (before tip) was $127 which included a couple drinks from the bar for each of us. The dinners we ate ranged from $16-$20. The starters were a bit pricey (~$18 for the quesadillas) but again, it was meal size and truly delicious. If you are hungry for a burger or typical Irish bar food, then give this place a try. Hopefully you'll have an experience similar to ours! (Our server was home from college for the holidays, so hopefully the rest of the staff is equally attentive.)

The food was great. I was a bit disappointed with the service. We came in on a Friday night about…read more6:45. It wasn't very busy only a few tables occupied. It took almost an hour to get our entrees. I will still give it another try because the food was good.

Food was delicious and everything hit the spot. The service especially was a highlight and everyone was very lively and full of personalities.

I highly recommend an inside sit-down experience, especially around dinner time. I wish everyone working there that night a bright and wonderful future.

We made 2 trips during the week we were here. The first time I got the chicken and bbq plate, also came with fries and hush puppies and also Cole slaw. As a Florida native. My idea of bbq is different. I'm used to sweet and tangy sauce or a golden mustard sauce. Their sauces are vinegar based with a bit of tomato paste for color and red pepper flakes. I will say it's an acquired taste. It wasn't bad. Their fried chicken was really crispy and it was really juicy, hot and fresh. I also tried their banana pudding which was pretty good. Could have more cookies and add whipped cream, but that's my personal taste. My second trip on the advice of my boyfriend I got the bbq sandwich which you can get with Cole slaw on and then add their vinegar bbq sauce and that was WAY better!! The tangy and creamy together was great. I also go their 3 piece tender snack pack. Wow these tenders were enormous! I had to take them home. One was as big as my hand! Also shared a hotdog with slaw on it and that was meh. I wouldn't get that again didn't care for the hotdog wasn't big enough or juicy enough.
