    First time here. I had the Greek salad with grilled chicken. My friend had the beyond Pita burger. Everything was good. The pita bread is delicious. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. Service is ok.

    Fresh & Filling! Ironically, I love a fish sandwich with cheese from Showmars (not pictured) tater sauce on the side please ‍. Recommend a thousand times over!

    Sort of a fast food place with a diner atmosphere. This place makes you full without feeling bloated. The taste is different than traditional American food but still quite tasty and it seems to breathe healthy into your mind and body. The amount of food is a lot per serving, therefore you could make 2 meals out of the one. The service was good as well as the different options on the menu. Try the Greek food if you haven't done so, you might be pleasantly surprised.

    Another visit, time for an update. The food remains delicious. Order at the counter, food is delivered to the table. Fast, friendly service, excellent follow up to make sure the food is right, refill drinks, etc. THANK YOU! Salads are prepared to order. Ingredients are fresh and crisp, dressing is tangy and tart. Gyro meat freshly sliced, moist and savory and a generous portion. Pita is warm, conveniently sliced in quarters and prefect for dipping in tzatziki. For as many times as I've been here, never tried anything other than a Greek salad or a gyro. Maybe next time I'll branch out?? Good stuff - I'll definitely be back.

    First visit. I only ordered a flounder sandwich with no sides to go. Incredible! Seasoned perfectly, piping hot, breaded the way that I like with a great fish to bun ratio. Adequate amount of tartar sauce. The bun was soft and fresh. My new place to visit even if only for fish sandwiches. Eager to try other things on the menu. Lastly, all workers wore masks and customers were socially distanced. Safe environment.

We have been here twice in the past two weeks to say our goodbyes to friends as we are moving out of state. We will truly miss Norse Brewery. You really cannot go wrong with anything you order. Our favorite dish is, of course, the Viking Burger paired with duck fat fries and the Frikadellar to share. The Mango Hefeweizen and mango margaritas are delicious drinks as well. Whether you sit inside or out, you will feel cozy and relaxed while you eat delicious food!

The Norwegian-inspired menu is full of hearty and flavorful items. Our opener of Loaded Beer-Cheese Tots paired with a couple of co-owner/Brewmaster Brad Wynn's brewed on-site beers was heavenly. You MUST sample several of his creations, and take a moment to see the incredible brewery that is a huge part of the experience - his wife Lynn gave us a quick and amazing tour of the brewery, see pics. I had the Viking Burger, a carnivorian delight made from elk, bison, boar and wagyu meats and a half Norwegian salad that had us swooning with pleasure - a full salad would be a satisfying main vegetarian entree. Paul's Wisconsin Brat was so good, gonna hafta to have that during our next visit. The award-winning structure is a joy - 2 levels, dog-welcoming al fresco dining available front and back - and the downstairs bar where regular events occur - just amazing! Regular events include Thursday Night Trivia, as well as stand-up comedy and murder mystery nights. An ongoing calendar of events that are easy on the pocket, making a full night of food and fun for all. Check their website - wakeforest.norsebrewingco.com - for all the details. Another downtown Wake Forest must for locals and travelers alike - Paul and I will be regulars, I can tell you that! Check it out some weeknight, you'll be glad you did‼

My motto is simple: if you can't see the smoker and smell the smoke, the BBQ is going to be bad. This place is no different. My family ordered the pork belly burnt ends, pork ribs, chicken Philly, and smoked mac and cheese. Let's start easy--the mac and cheese. My grandparents used more salt and pepper in their mac and cheese than this place did. The only ingredients seemed to be noodles and cheese. What happened to flavor? Spices? Maybe some paprika, cayenne pepper... jeez, something. However, as a bit of a warning sign, the mac and cheese had more wood smoke flavor than anything else they served. Next, the ribs. Some people believe in the 3-2-1 method--I'm not a fan, but it can work. These people must believe in the 1-2-3 method: 1 hour smoked on a Traeger, 2 hours wrapped, and 3 hours cooked on high heat in the oven uncovered. That's the only way I can figure out how you end up with jerky-dry ribs. Not only were they dry, they didn't have any flavor. The chicken Philly was dry--my wife hated it. The pork belly burnt ends actually looked great--nice cube size, good presentation--but biting into them was a different story. Chewy, bland, and dry. I honestly don't know how you manage to do that with pork belly. Really disappointing experience overall.

The sports bar is divided into two sections: a dining room with tables and booths, and a bar with high-top seating. The restaurant was fairly quiet until the karaoke was about to start. Then it seemed like you needed to scream to hear a conversation. They also have trivia nights, so that likely isn't as loud. I ordered the Wagyu Burger, and it was cooked to order and delicious. The mashed potatoes for the side were lukewarm and rather dry and bland. The way they were presented at the table made it seem as if they were meant to go with something, like butter or gravy. I would not recommend the mashed potatoes, but the burger was delicious. The sweet potato fries, another had as a side, looked good, as did a salad. Service seemed good at first with the drink and food orders. But once the food was brought out, I don't think we saw the waitress again until it was time for the checks. A bill with a credit card for another guest at a different table was even brought out with the processed checks. So make sure you get the correct credit card back.
