Grabbed a drink here recently and had an OK time…read more First, parking was easy in a nearby garage. My wife and I came at opening so the bar was completely empty initially, but it filled up by the time we left. There was a pretty impressive array of comfortable seats, although they looked a little dusty to me. When we chose our initial seats, the bartender came over, apologized, and told us that the chairs we had chosen were only for parties of 3 or 4 :) Kind of strange but whatever. We chose a different set of chairs and ordered our beverages. Honestly, it took a very long time to get our drinks. They were pretty well made but were also extremely expensive (all of the cocktails were around $17 to $19). Other than the delay, the bartender was nice and did a pretty good job throughout our time there. The venue also served food but we didn't partake this time. Overall, not a terrible experience or anything, but the high prices and slow service make me a little hesitant to return.

The Angus Barn is a MUST if you are around the Raleigh area. We can't get enough of it!…read more From prime rib that melts in your mouth to kabobs, this place has it all. Christmas time is beautiful, as they decorate the ceiling with garments and ornaments and other decorations around the massive restaurant, but reservations are needed no later than 6 months in advance. If you're fine waiting 3 hours for a table max, then you will be fine. Every single time we come to Angus Barn, something is different. Now they give you a soup or salad with your meal, along with bread! The cheese and crackers are famous among the people and are a great way to start your meal. The bread is so fresh also! All components in their house salad is great. Everything is awesome! The prime rib is tender and has such good flavor. Their mac n' cheese is the way to go. Their recipe is constantly changing. Like what I previously said, something is different every time you come to Angus Barn. The chocolate chess pie is the best I've had. This is a MUST when dining at Angus Barn. You HAVE to get the chocolate chess pie. The service is some of the best in the restaurant business and all do a great job at explaining things. So kind and professional! Once again, if you're around Raleigh and don't come to Angus Barn, you are missing out. I highly recommend you come. So good!

Great find in North Carolina!, The Angus Barn was a truly special dining experience, offering a…read morerustic yet elegant atmosphere, exceptional service from Tanner, and outstanding steakhouse cuisine. We immediately became addicted to the house-made chips served with two incredible cheese dips--one sharp cheddar and the other a rich blue cheese. They were absolutely irresistible! The only disappointment of the evening was the French onion soup, which was a bit thin and lacked the rich flavor I was expecting. The filet mignons were cooked to perfection and served with a creamy Béarnaise sauce, accompanied by mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. My perfectly crafted Old Fashioned was the ideal pairing and complemented the meal beautifully. Although the dessert tray was filled with tempting, decadent creations, we were simply too full! Instead, we enjoyed a scoop of delicious locally made vanilla ice cream with sprinkles, produced by a nearby college, along with a warm Bailey's coffee to finish the evening. Before leaving, be sure to stop by their charming gift shop, where you'll find many of the homemade specialties served in the restaurant, including the famous chips and cheese spreads. You can also relax with a cocktail on the expansive outdoor wooden deck overlooking a beautiful koi pond, surrounded by antique wooden horses that add to the unique atmosphere. Angus Barn is far more than just a great steakhouse--it is a memorable dining destination and an experience you'll be talking about long after the meal is over.

Had an amazing meal at La Taqueria…read more The food was fresh and the drinks were great. As a whole the Boxyard is very well maintained and a good environment for a variety of people. It was clean, well organized, and provides a nice outdoor space with food and drinks. There's a variety of different cuisine and shops and you can definitely spend a lot of time browsing. There are outdoor games that you can play as well. I feel like things were priced reasonably and I would definitely visit again.

I made an appointment and had to wait for a few minutes for them to open but once we were in - Emma gave us the low down of the place. Crafts galore! Pretty much you pick any project and pay $20.00 pp for a 2 hour window. We had a lot of fun making crafts - using the 3d printer and I carved a pattern on a piece of wood. I recommend taking your kids or friends here and then grabbing a bite as there's lot of businesses here and it's popular.

I've taken my parents to shows here and love that there is even a space for them to sit down if they need to. There are some steps/bleachers along one side wall for people to take a rest. This is so rare for a standing room only venue and so appreciated! Motorco has many great beers to choose from as well as a full bar and alcohol free options. There is definitely something for everyone. There are two bars one of which has a streamlined selection for fast service while the other is full service offering their entire menu of food and drinks. They serve food! I have not ordered food there yet, but everything looks and sounds amazing. It's also just a cool spot to hang out there. You can grab a beer and/or food and sit outside with your dog. I think of Motorco as a place for everyone.

Staff was rude and unorganized. Caterer was late arriving only to still serve cold appetizers (meatballs, chicken pot pie bites, & chicken kabobs) which should have been warm to say the least. It was so bad that even the beverages were not to proper standard.They have since blocked me from all social media so that I could not Tag them in any of my reviews of there service, which is unprofessional in itself but what should I have expected at this point. And to make matters worse my guest complained of diarrhea and vomiting after the event. When my coordinator reached out to them to advise of our concern they failed to respond to her an insisted on speaking to us and by this time me and my husband were both so furious that we felt it best handled by the designated individual which anyone that does weddings know that they go through the coordinator not the Bride. This company didn't even have the decency to apologize for there staffs behavior which was addressed at the event. Every place I've serviced I was told the customer was always right but I guess they attended a different etiquette training. I would not suggest this vendor to anyone needing to cater a large event with class because they definitely lack in that department.
