It must have been an off night, I must have been grumpy, and my taste buds must have broken or something is basically all I can say for myself, but I'm SO glad I went back. J Betski's has consistently good food and their servers are always nice. They take reservations now, and you order through a QR code on the table, so it's an easy peasy experience, but if you need help there is also someone around for that. I am OBSESSED with their potato crisps and their simple cucumber salad. I get those every time we visit. They change the menu often enough to keep you interested in new things, but always have their staples available too. I'm a big fan of their Schnitzel and pirogies. My husband RAVES about their Smoked Brisket Burger. I would also argue that their Truffle Deviled Eggs are the best thing on the menu when they have them. They have great cocktails and a large beer selection. The only difficult thing about eating here is having limited space in my stomach because everything is seriously so good. Bonus: they have a dog friendly heated patio.

Unfortunately, we found the rest of our order bland, slightly burned, and underwhelming. The potato pancake, schnitzel, and mushroom gravy all really needed seasoning. I wish the schnitzel came with lemon wedges too (personal preference?). The schnitzel was cooked nicely, whereas the pancake was slightly burned in spots.

TCB is the local watering hole where those wanting to escape downtown Fuquay and Varina can come…read morefor a relaxing fun atmosphere and enjoy some drinks. They have a great selection of rotating taps with a focus on German beers. They usually keep at least a couple IPA and Stout taps. They also have wine by the glass. Parking can be a bit of a pain. TCB only has two official parking spots, if there are any spots in the lot use those ones last because all of the lot frequently fills up due to Winging It next door...especially on their trivia night. So if you leave the TCB only spots open someone who can't find a spot may get one. On the bright side, Winging It takes phone in orders and will deliver it to TCB at the bar for you if you ask. Outside food is obviously welcome since they don't have a restaurant. Interesting fact, under the previous owners there was a brewery that shared space with TCB called 3rd Degree Brewhouse. They didn't survive the covid years but it was cool! They regularly have food trucks on some Fridays and Saturdays (who will ultimately steal those two parking spots). They do have some bar food including hot pretzels served with beer cheese and mustard and it's pretty good. They are super dog friendly....like if dogs bother you, don't come here. The owners dogs are sweet and behave. They are also kid and family friendly. Some of the visitors on the other hand, their owners need to train their pups a bit more. I have seen a few squabbles over the years and heard more than a few barking contests. Don't worry, they are usually calmed down fast. And I won't let you know if I was talking about the dogs, kids or maybe both. One of my favorite things is that they use Untappd. You can see their menu on there as well as check in beers as you drink them. As of writing this I have 192 check in's there across at least 6 years. I used to be a regular but I cut back on my drinking and haven't been in awhile, but I need to go to get to 200 check ins! They frequently host DJ Gino for Music Bingo which is my favorite. He also does music, karaoke, record nights, and probably some other DJ-eeyness that I'm forgetting. There are dozens of board games inside, a couple video games, Touch Tunes, TVs to watch sports, and even a golf arcade game. Outside they have corn hole and covered picnic tables with some really nice rocking chairs. Cigar smoking is allowed out front. Aside from the rotating taps, they have a huge selection of refrigerated and non-refrigerated beer, non-alcoholic beer, kids drinks like root beer and Saranack Shirley Temples, and a few other things. Tap water and cups is back in the corner. My only gripe about this place is the $2 uncharge to open a beer from the cooler onsite. Seriously bro, come one, we're already tipping 20-25% on the purchase of that $9 can, I think the bartender could open it no problem and not make it a $13-14 can of beer. This is the only bottle shop that I used to frequent that had a "cork fee" for opening beer purchased there cold. I eventually just started buying a couple to go instead of drinking them there to save the extra cost. Last bonus fact: They used to have a run club and I went a few times and was the slowest one. We ran behind Kohls in those neighborhoods. Then we'd all come over and drink the calories back on but the worst part was on run club night they served free brats with sauerkraut and mustard...so we really put back on the exercise effort.

On a road trip with my friend and we wanted a light snack before lunch. We saw Guglhupf bakery and…read morerestaurant so we decided to stop by the bakery section. We went during early lunch hours. It is busy here,seems like a locals favorite for brunch. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is beautifully decorated. The bakery shop sold alot of in house food products such as housed German sausages and jam. Also local made beverages;the kombucha "Lavendar Dreams" is light and refreshing to drink etc.. I tried the chocolate croissant (crisp but not too crispy,chocolate stuffed filling not jam) and the ham and cheese pretzel( delicous pretzel:ate everything;bread part is savory and soft). Our first visit here I'd say this place makes a great brunch place. You can either stop by for breakfast,lunch or a light snack from the bakery shop. Service wasnt the best here. We informed the cashier that it was our first time here. Knowing that,they kept on stating is that all?.. Everytime am asking about a item and deciding what to try. I understand it is rush hour and can get busy but I felt truly rushed.

I'm always on the hunt for a good savory pastry so I got the ham and cheese croissant and it did not disappoint.

I was slightly shocked that 2 pastries were $20 - that's the only reason it's four instead of five stars!

Meh. I could've swore that their food used to be good. Not anymore, unless I picked the only 4…read moreterrible items on the list. I had macaroons a few weeks ago, and remember them being good. These were the only items in their selection that had a price, $4, so I got two togo. The lemon bars and blueberry bars looked delicious, so I got two each for after dinner. We got 50 little neck clams, and needed some bread. Their sourdough looked good, so I got a loaf. The sourdough that we bought was literally the most dense bread I have ever eaten. Even soaking it in clam broth did not help. Tried an un-soaked piece, and it was like eating tough jerky. The dogs didn't even want it. After dinner I cut one each of the pastries in quarters to share. The lemon had a very slight taste of lemon (very very slight), and although the blueberry appears to be packed with fruit, it only tasted like soggy dough. (See pic). My last shot was the macaroon. I gave one to my daughter to split with me. She barely split it. The filling was like the mixed it with marshmallows. It stretched while the cookie crushed, and also did not taste good at all. I would like to think they got a new pastry chef that is learning, but sorry, at 42 bucks for that amount of food that was all bad, I'm not going to be another guinea pig. Oh, no one wanted the other lemon or blueberry bar, so sadly I threw them out.

This was the second time I came to this establishment. Thie first time around was good, even if 3 of the beers I wanted to try weren't available. This trip had a mission: create a new dish utilizing two separate dishes. In this case the Loaded Tots (bacon, jalapeno, sour cream and chives with beer cheese sauce on top of crispy tater tots) AND Mac-n-Cheese bites (fried and served with a spicy aioli sauce). The plan, a successful one at that, was to utilize the toppings from the tots, to cover the mac bites (see picture for results). This creation not only caught the eye of the bartender, Branden (great service btw) who tried my concoction and loved it. But then that of the chef (Al?), who then saw the new dish and was like "now I know". Sadly this isn't a dish that can just be added to the menu. But if it could, oh boy, watch out!! There's also great specials throughout the week, like Wednesday is $2 Off any draft beer. Thursdays offer a discount to beer packs. Come for the food. Drink a few beers. Watch one of the many TVs and have a great time!
