    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.

    Whirlpool bacon tomato is good. Chips are thin and good, however they charged 50 cents for ranch when I was there. The staff was nice.

We have been here twice in the past two weeks to say our goodbyes to friends as we are moving out of state. We will truly miss Norse Brewery. You really cannot go wrong with anything you order. Our favorite dish is, of course, the Viking Burger paired with duck fat fries and the Frikadellar to share. The Mango Hefeweizen and mango margaritas are delicious drinks as well. Whether you sit inside or out, you will feel cozy and relaxed while you eat delicious food!

The Norwegian-inspired menu is full of hearty and flavorful items. Our opener of Loaded Beer-Cheese Tots paired with a couple of co-owner/Brewmaster Brad Wynn's brewed on-site beers was heavenly. You MUST sample several of his creations, and take a moment to see the incredible brewery that is a huge part of the experience - his wife Lynn gave us a quick and amazing tour of the brewery, see pics. I had the Viking Burger, a carnivorian delight made from elk, bison, boar and wagyu meats and a half Norwegian salad that had us swooning with pleasure - a full salad would be a satisfying main vegetarian entree. Paul's Wisconsin Brat was so good, gonna hafta to have that during our next visit. The award-winning structure is a joy - 2 levels, dog-welcoming al fresco dining available front and back - and the downstairs bar where regular events occur - just amazing! Regular events include Thursday Night Trivia, as well as stand-up comedy and murder mystery nights. An ongoing calendar of events that are easy on the pocket, making a full night of food and fun for all. Check their website - wakeforest.norsebrewingco.com - for all the details. Another downtown Wake Forest must for locals and travelers alike - Paul and I will be regulars, I can tell you that! Check it out some weeknight, you'll be glad you did‼

What this tells me is I really like the food and consistency! It sounds like I eat here a lot, and to be fair, it's probably a few times a month. I have not had one order be inaccurate or anything other than the quality the first time I tried Wayback Burgers. The food is always fresh, hot, and ready to go each and every time. The value is very reasonable and comparable to all the other local options as well. I typically get a custom-made burger with either fries or tater tots. I have also tried their hot dog, which is pretty good as well. Both order options fill me up. I haven't tried the shakes yet, but it's on my list for one of these days. The app is really easier to order, which should be a given, but it amazes me how bad other establishment make their order process in the app. Easy layout, easy to customize, and easy to re-order a favorite. The speed at which my food is ordered, prepared, and available is very reasonable. By the time I place the order in the app and arrive at the location 7 minutes later, the order is ready. The team here is also great. They always meet people with a smile and attentiveness. Clearly, they prioritize the in-person experience by being available and engaging every time someone needs something. I also appreciate that they can see everything in the eating area and can monitor if someone needs something. Wayback Burger is my go-to these days, which is great considering I have at least 10 other options just as close as Wayback is to me. I am never concerned that what I am craving to eat will be anything less than what is delivered.

The sports bar is divided into two sections: a dining room with tables and booths, and a bar with high-top seating. The restaurant was fairly quiet until the karaoke was about to start. Then it seemed like you needed to scream to hear a conversation. They also have trivia nights, so that likely isn't as loud. I ordered the Wagyu Burger, and it was cooked to order and delicious. The mashed potatoes for the side were lukewarm and rather dry and bland. The way they were presented at the table made it seem as if they were meant to go with something, like butter or gravy. I would not recommend the mashed potatoes, but the burger was delicious. The sweet potato fries, another had as a side, looked good, as did a salad. Service seemed good at first with the drink and food orders. But once the food was brought out, I don't think we saw the waitress again until it was time for the checks. A bill with a credit card for another guest at a different table was even brought out with the processed checks. So make sure you get the correct credit card back.
