Instead, both sandwiches were served on plain white bread with no warning from the server, no explanation, and no opportunity to change our order. Had we been told beforehand, we could have ordered something else. The lack of communication was unprofessional and made for a frustrating dining experience. It's a shame because we've ordered takeout from River Pub in the past and have always enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and we won't be returning.

The Chicken patty was a bit on the smaller side but the condiments were fresh and pretty good. The Brussel Sprouts had bits of bacon and a house made jelly/jam which was pretty good.

It seems as if they play live music on Thursday nights as well. It's a bit loud and small/cramped in there but overall a good vibe.

Located across from NC State's campus, it's the kind of spot where locals, students, alumni, and first-time visitors all seem to blend together naturally. It's appearance in the baseball classic Bull Durham was my main draw to this place. And it adds another layer to its charm and history. What makes this place special isn't any one thing, it's everything. You can easily lose an entire afternoon here watching a game, having a few drinks, and talking with whoever happens to be sitting nearby. In a world full of polished sports bars and corporate concepts, Mitch's feels authentic, lived-in, and uniquely Raleigh. Exactly the kind of tavern every town wishes it had.

This classic college pub across from the NC State campus on Hillsborough St. is one of North…read moreCarolina's most celebrated watering holes, and a great spot to meet friends for grub and a few drinks. With its aged-brick facade and wonderful old-world decor, Mitch's could easily be mistaken for a historic tavern in Boston or Greenwich Village, but the institution has only been in business since 1974. Movie nerds will recognize Mitch's as the spot where Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins meet for beers in the baseball comedy 'Bull Durham,' while Wolfpack alum will likely remember it as the spot where they celebrated dozens of basketball wins, birthday bashes and end-of-semester parties during their time at NC State. The beer list is strong, the service terrific and the food delicious -- especially the famous Reuben sandwich. So drop by, grab a table, and enjoy one of the best pub experiences North Carolina has to offer.

SmokeStack Cafe (Historic Oakwood - Raleigh) My wife and I…read morechose SmokeStack Cafe for our anniversary lunch, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. After 40 years of marriage, we've learned that a memorable lunch is often better than an expensive dinner. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to write our reviews the same day. Lunch for two came to about $45 plus tax and tip, and included: * Bánh Mì * Shrimp Tacos * House Lemonade * Key Lime Pie Location & Atmosphere SmokeStack Cafe is located in Raleigh's historic Oakwood neighborhood in a beautifully restored former grocery store. The setting is full of charm, both inside and out. There is outdoor seating available, but we chose to sit indoors where the space is open, comfortable, and inviting. Parking is street parking only. On our Juneteenth lunch visit, finding a space was easy, though I suspect many neighborhood residents simply walk over. The Food The Bánh Mì was outstanding. The bread was a true French baguette, fresh, crisp, and clearly high quality. The sandwich was generously filled with flavorful pork, more than we have received at most places serving bánh mì. It came with a large portion of well-seasoned French fries. The Shrimp Tacos featured three tacos on corn tortillas. The shrimp portion was generous, and the accompanying sauce added plenty of flavor without overwhelming the seafood. The House Lemonade was tart, refreshing, and exactly what I wanted on a warm afternoon. For dessert, we shared a slice of house-made Key Lime Pie. It was a generous serving with a bright, tangy lime flavor and a graham cracker crust that had a subtle hint of cinnamon. A wonderful finish to the meal. Service Service was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout our visit. In a fun personal touch, our server told us he had made the key lime pie himself Overall What impressed me most was how diverse and eclectic the menu is. The food felt thoughtful and well executed, the setting was charming, and the service was first-rate. SmokeStack Cafe delivered exactly the kind of memorable lunch we hoped for on our anniversary, and we're already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu.

Although there were only a few patrons, it seemed like a bit too much for one person to handle, but he did so with grace.

I ordered a specialty cocktail that was really good...lemon pepper chicken wings that were DELICIOUS...a smash burger and fries (burger was only so-so, but thy fries were good!)...and finished with fried oreos served with melted chocolate for dessert that were absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS. I highly recommend Falls Local for their prime location, great service, delicious menu offerings, and overall great vibe. Can't wait to go back!

Large groups are never easy, but service stayed organized and patient throughout the meal. The pizza was good, thicker crust, plenty of cheese, and a solid amount of sauce. Nothing fancy, but very satisfying and exactly what you want from a neighborhood pub/sportsbar. The chicken tenders were also a hit and came with beer-battered fries that were crispy and hot. Looking around the table, most people seemed genuinely happy with their food, which is always a good sign with a group this size. Pricing felt reasonable, portions were fair, and no one left hungry. I debated between four and five stars, but given the group size, execution, and overall experience, this one got bumped to five stars. A dependable spot for gatherings.
