The drink menu is huge, and it's clearly geared more toward flavored latte lovers than coffee purists. If you like creative, dessert-style drinks, you'll have plenty to choose from. Drinks: I ordered a cortado, but it came out more like a breve. Not a big deal, but not quite what I was expecting. I also tried The Alchemist -- an iced latte with white chocolate, English toffee, and raspberry. It was enjoyable, but definitely flavor-forward, with the syrups taking center stage more than the espresso. Food: This is where the place really shines. I ordered the chicken biscuit with Sriracha hot honey, and it was excellent. Crispy chicken, a great biscuit, and the sweet heat from the sauce tied everything together perfectly. Overall: If you're looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot with lots of fun drink options, No Filter is a solid choice. If you're hunting for a specialty coffee experience focused on the coffee itself, this probably isn't the destination -- but the food alone makes it worth the stop.

Consistently the best cup of coffee in the area. Staff is always friendly and helpful.read more

I watched the Bar Rescue episode for Characters turned Moon Runners years ago and was really glad…read moreto see that it was still alive and had a location in Garner. I really was rooting for the owners, and I'm glad they've been able to last, unlike many of the other establishments on Bar Rescue. Moon Runners has its own private parking lot. It's not large and can be harder to find a park on a Saturday evening or higher-volume times. I've been a handful of times, and service has been great every time. I've sat at tables, but also at the bar, and all of the staff have been friendly and helpful. Some of the food I've had includes: - Apps: Corn Nuggets, Fried Brussels Sprouts, Southern Fried Pickle Chips - Entrees: Steak Salad, Chicken Caesar Wrap, Wilkes County Wrap I've enjoyed my food every time except the pickle chips. They were cooked well, but had way too much batter for my liking. I ended up removing most of the batter because it was so much. Most of the cocktails are centered around moonshine, and there are a ton of options. Additionally, they also have a full bar, so if moonshine isn't your thing, you still have plenty of options.

Each part of the meal complemented the others perfectly, indicating that the chef or owner truly understood what flavors would work together. I was pleasantly surprised by how well everything paired, especially since I normally don't like spinach, but I enjoyed it in this dish. Upon entering the restaurant, you feel transported to Little Italy; the ambiance, the food, and the music immerse you in the experience until you finally walk out the front door. As someone who eats out every day, this meal will stay with me for the rest of my life. I believe everyone should dine here at least once before they die. As I left the restaurant, I found myself wondering why the owner chose such a rural setting for such an extraordinary establishment. I have no idea, but I definitely plan to return many times to enjoy more of its amazing creations.

We were greeted walking in by the hostess and seated within the same interaction. Our server was very good, professional, kind and friendly. He took our drink orders and got our appetizer going. We started with the Calamari Fritti, an excellent choice, flash fried with spicy peppers in a light golden batter. Simple, fresh and delicious and cooked beautifully. Served with a spicy maranara. An extensive menu of traditional and modern Italian cuisine. After giving it a good look over I opted for the Rigatoni Rustico pasta with chicken in a rich creamy red pepper and tomato sauce. It was delicious and a wonderful presentation and meal. A nice serving of rigatoni, in a velvety smooth cream sauce with tender chunks of grilled chicken. It hit the spot for me and was a thoroughly enjoyable meal. My dining companions said their dinners were equally as good. All in all an excellent choice for a nice meal. 4.5 Stars rounded up for our great server. 01249

The male in the truck was a bit vague (seemed in a rush or not willing to share) I do understand as mentioned that most things were made with soy excluding the bread and cake I purchased, so I finalized my purchase without buying anything outside of desserts. I would have liked a more details on the preparation of the other items. The pumpkin bread and the zucchini cake were delicious.

If coffee isn't your thing via No Filter next door, take a few steps down and have a seat. Server Brandy was a delight. It was midday and I was in the mood for chicken fingers and pie. The fingers were okay but the standout was their house sauces. I had sweet potato crinkle fries. They were fantastic - especially with those sauces. The Key Lime Pie was soft, had bite, and a firm crust. It was delicious. The experience as a whole was okay - probably a winner in its "genre," but I'm not one for the bar scene. You might like it.

It's dated and feels 2000's cozy. Service was great both times I came. Nothing to worry about there. They take really good care of you. They have a lot of specials and the menu is quite extensive. It's a bit off the beaten path hidden a few blocks away from 42 where it's not easily seen. It was decently busy so people know it's there, but if it was on 42 like where Cleveland Draft House is, this place would be packed out all the time. Both times I came here I got the wings because I heard the wings are good. They are a solid 8/10. The one and only thing that would push them over the top--smoked wings. Everything else was perfect. They were quite meaty, sauces are delicious, crispy skin...just need a bit of smoke that's all. Good thing they aren't because I'd be in here weekly if they ever did start smoking them. Buddy got the chicken fried steak and thought it was great. I posted some updated menu photos since there were none. I'll be back!

Service was fine, the place has open seating and a bar, pretty typical these days. They also have an arcade with several games and prize based activities. Overall, a great day/night out in Clayton. This is also located right off I40 on route 42, there are a lot of other establishments to check out as well for drinks, dessert or second dinner!

The disappointment was the service and food. Our waitress was very friendly but she didn't know the menu or even the specials for that evening. I ordered a margarita which took over 15 minutes to arrive. The place wasn't busy and three of the staff were sitting at the bar chatting so I don't understand why it took so long to come to the table. The margarita was on the weak side. We ordered the Scotch eggs, sausage rolls and poutine. The eggs of the Scotch eggs were cooked perfectly but the sausage meat was extremely overpowering. I think they must add a lot of seasoning in it, and honestly it was too much for me. The breading was good and fried well but the sausage was so overwhelming that I just took the egg out and ate that. I do think they use the same sausage meat in the sausage rolls. The pastry was nice and they were a good temperature. But again the sausage meat was so strongly seasoned it was off putting. I do want to note that I grew up in Scotland so I am probably a harsh critic of the Scotch eggs and sausage rolls but my American husband thought similarly to me. The poutine was good. The cheese curds were nicely melted and the gravy was nicely balanced. It was a cool place to check out but I wouldn't go back in a hurry.
