    Smash burger

    Absolutely recommend this place to dine in!! When you come in it's an open seating environment and even at the bar as well. You will need to scan the QR code to place orders where you are sitting but can also order at the bar as well. The service was very quick! Our food came out hot and fresh and the staff were simply amazing. They asked if we needed anything and were very hands on with cleaning the restaurant as well. I have no complaints and will definitely be back. (Parking is nearby in a garage)

    I picked Ponysaurus to try because of the location, fun name, and they had food. I was not disappointed! Easy parking in outdoor lots (but it was super hot) or in the covered (free midday on a Thursday) garage. I tried a flight of beer, and was intrigued by the frozen options. Very inventive food menu; I tried the mushroom with asparagus and happy with my choice! Friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere for some me time or a group.

    This was a first time here and it was amazing, the food, the staff, everything was great. I love how it is partly self serve so you aren't waiting on the servers and rather get it yourself and get out. Self seating, QR code to order and pay is great as well. Highly recommend the pizza and wings with fries as they are so delicious.

    First time coming here with my husband and it was amazing!! Not your typical restaurant with wait staff, just use a QR code to access menu and order! Food came out fast and hot, which is already perfect. Everything was delicious, my favorite thing was the build your own pizza with a cheese base, and was all very filling!! For the size portions, I definitely do think they match the prices. Will come here again :)

    The service here was great! The staff checked in often and ensured all our questions were answered. I enjoyed the blueberry slushies here. This is hands down a great spot to enjoy on a warm afternoon. The buffalo chicken pizza was decent but not something I'd run back to get. The chicken on the pizza could have been better.

    You can never have too many signs to show customers where you are!

    Don't let the name fool you! This is an awesome place. There seemed to be a lot of locals possibly from the residences above. A dog friendly outdoor space which is always a plus for dog lovers. They do have a food menu but we just made a quick stop for a beer. The pizzas looked delish. The staff was super nice and they were all super attentive. The bartender really took her time to talk through their beer selection making sure we picked the perfect pint. Would highly recommend putting Ponysaurus on your brewery to do list in Raleigh.

    Man the curly fries were absolutely delicious and the burger was so good! I will say the mayonnaise based lemon aoili was just a little strong to eat with all the fries but I'm sure you can get other condiments. Overall the portions were very generous and we ended up taking home leftovers. Overall the service was great and the people were very friendly. The giant dinosaur in the center was awesome and made the ambiance such a lively place. It was nice being in the hub of ironworks with all the market fun and other shops to check out!

    Our go to brewery in Raleigh. The frozen espresso martini is so good! Beers are also great. We love the food here. Best buffalo chicken pizza in Raleigh! Great place to spend an afternoon.

    Nice spot for a relaxing drink! Came here after Brodeto and got a couple glasses of bubbles - appreciate the price point compared to dinner. Friendly service, even able to order while sitting outside when the bussers stopped by. Good indoor/outdoor seating available, great location underneath the new Forge apartments and close to the climbing gym. @azfitfoodfun

    Visited Ponysaurus Brewing and it was packed when we arrived -- and stayed that way all the way until closing, which says a lot about how popular this place is. The space itself is lovely with a great vibe, making it an awesome spot to hang out. They have a solid selection of beers along with a good food menu. I sampled a few beers as part of a flight and really enjoyed them. Standouts for me were the Ponysaurus Off-Dry NC Cider, DBMTP (Don't Be Mean to People: A Golden Rule Saison), and the Mango Guava Wit -- all flavorful and well crafted. For food, we ordered the hot chicken buffalo wings and fried Brussels sprouts, both of which were tasty. The absolute highlight on the food side, though, was the curly fries -- crispy, perfectly seasoned, and honestly addictive. They also have a wide variety of pizzas on the menu, which are definitely on my list to try next time. Overall, a fantastic brewery with great beer, satisfying food, and an energetic atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

    Really good! Came here before going to a concert close by at the Ritz. It was crowded but we were able to get a table upstairs. We ordered drinks at the bar like the instructions said, but they did end up having a server that was working upstairs to help with drink orders. We ordered our food on our phones, and service was fast. The artichoke pizza and Brussels sprouts were both really good!

    Flight of 4 beers
    Markiesa B.

    First time coming here even though I'm familiar with the shopping center , was able to get served quickly so I tried the flight which came with 4 flight size beers. I chose 1 cider, 2 sours and a weisse. I thought it was plentiful and the presentation was cute. My group sat upstairs where it was more seating and they also had a server up there to take drink orders. Would try this place again.

    This is our second time here. It's located in RIW (Raleigh Iron Works), with a decent amount of indoor/outdoor seating. The staff is very friendly, wanting to assist you during your visit. The beer selection on tap is pretty extensive, they allow for samples before purchasing a beer (beers on tap only). This was our first time getting food here, we decided on pizza and believe me we were in no way disappointed by our selection. We got the Porchetta Pie... absolute slam dunk! Decent amount of TV's to watch things or just hang out and listen to music, overall this place is super cool.

    Does anyone know if the Raleigh location allows dogs? There's no phone number on their website and the Durham location doesn't answer their phone.

    I'm not 100% sure but usually if food is served, no dogs are allowed inside. Maybe the patio?

    This restaurant pleasantly surprised me. I'm honestly not a huge Chinese food person, and when…read morepicking restaurants, it's usually not something I naturally gravitate toward. I was actually a little nervous going in because certain Chinese dishes tend to upset my stomach, so I tried to avoid some of the heavier noodle and chicken dishes that normally do that to me. Honestly, I think that was the best decision because I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and felt completely fine afterwards. I started with the crab rangoons, which were perfectly creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside -- absolutely delicious. Then I tried the pork-filled bao buns, which was my first time ever having them, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them too. Everyone else at our table seemed to really enjoy their food as well. I genuinely didn't hear a single complaint. We also ordered some drinks that were delicious, and both our server and the rest of the staff were absolutely fantastic and very welcoming throughout the night. The atmosphere and vibes inside are honestly one of the coolest parts of the experience. It somehow feels like a mix between a brewery, a florist, a bookstore, and a Chinese restaurant all at once. It's such an interesting and unique space that doesn't really feel like anywhere else. Overall, this was a great experience, and I would absolutely come back to try more items on the menu.

I stopped in just a they were opening on a Friday and thank goodness I showed up when I did, this place gets packed quick and you should book a reservation to be on the safe side. I was most excited about the duck egg rolls but ended up being my least favorite not because they were slightly on the dry side. Flavor was good, and the hoisin honey sauce really helped! The seafood dumplings were second best, stuffed full. The soup based was amazing and it also came with some bread for dipping in the leftover sauce. The pork and chive shumai were my favorite! A little bit bigger than bit sized but worth the mouth full! Absolutely would recommend. I'll 100% be back for more food. The bar side looked to be more casual, the dinning room was full of high tea attire so I did feel a little under dressed, thought it would be slightly more casual. They have the cutest library with free books to read but only while you dine in. The flower and book shop are in the middle of the space. Super cute, limited options but great for a last minute bouquet!

The service is always fun and i enjoy the open atmosphere. This Belgian-inspired brasserie continues to be one of my go-to destinations for great food, craft beer, and one of the best Painkillers in town. My must-order dish is always the crispy beer-battered pollock paired with their perfectly seasoned truffle fries. The fish is light, flaky, and fried to golden perfection, but the real star might be their housemade tartar sauce--it's absolutely addictive. A few other standouts from our table included: Savory risotto topped with seared shrimp and blistered tomatoes The NRBC Juicy Burger loaded with onion straws and beer cheese Every dish was packed with flavor, and it's easy to see why this spot remains a local favorite.

This…read morespot has the perfect laid-back vibe for a weekend meal, plus an unbeatable view of downtown Raleigh, seriously, if the weather's nice, try to sit on the patio! We had a 70 degree surprise January day while we were there, so we did just that. We started our brunch with a couple of drinks: a bloody mary and an iced coffee. The bloody mary had a nice kick. Just the right amount of spice without going overboard. The iced coffee was smooth, not bitter at all, and honestly a great pairing if you're not in the mood for booze. To start, we shared the Dill Pickle Pimento Cheese with ripple-cut fries. I'm a sucker for pimento cheese and this one was outstanding. The dill relish gave it a tangy, fresh twist that worked so well with the creamy cheese. Scoop it up with those crispy ripple fries and you're golden. It's a shareable appetizer, but honestly, I'd come back just for that. For my lunch, I had the Chicken Caesar Pita. This isn't your average Caesar wrap. It was tasty, I wasn't expecting the chicken to be pulled, but it was pull juicy, marinated chicken, tons of Tuscan kale for a hearty bite, and generous shavings of parmesan. The charred Caesar dressing brought it all together with that smoky, savory flavor. The pita bread held everything nicely without getting soggy, and the portion was just right: filling, but not overwhelming. Service was super friendly and paced perfectly, not rushed, but never left waiting. Menu options looked creative and inclusive, with plenty for vegetarians and craft beer lovers, too. We had a great experience and I'll definitely be recommending it to friends who are going to Raleigh!
