    the front of the restaurant
    Rebecca M.

    The Brick House is a good choice to eat. The prices are reasonable and the food is ok. It is nothing fancy. I went with the fish and chips and it reminded me of the frozen pieces. The fries were really good and the portions generous. I wouldn't order the dish again. Service was good and attentive. The restaurant is a good size and Royal Mall has underground parking and a lot. This is the place if you want to watch sports on tv or play pool. They do have outdoor seating and at least some of it is covered but people were smoking there so that was not going to work for us. But it would be great outdoor seating is smoke free.

    "Ultimate" Grilled Cheese Sandwich
    Reagan B.

    The only positive aspect of this dining experience was jokingly singing Brickhouse and the Nc State wolf statues in the front lobby. Otherwise, incredibly disappointing. We started with fried pickles. They were mediocre at best. Very breaded and not crispy at all. My friend and I both got the ultimate grilled cheese. And if by ultimate, they meant ultimately disappointing then sure.... Because this looked like a child made it. No cheese pull. It was dry as a bone. My friends didn't come with the tomato slice as described in the menu. I ended up pulling it apart and eating the bacon separately and eating the cheesiest side of bread as toast. My aunt got the yellowfin tuna wrap and thought it was rather uneventful and flavorless. She said the only flavor it had was from the wasabi and everything else was bland. Only 1/4 of us were not disappointed as she got Cajun dry rub wings and she was satisfied. I did enjoy the pasta salad and my friend enjoyed her chicken n dumplings soup.

    I wrote before! Not sure why it went away... ugh This is a great sports bar! Met up with some friends and they chose to be outdoors. It is pet friendly. Some cute dogs showed up. We all had beers. I went with a local "first squeeze" and it was delicious. The one bartender whom I've seen before is cool. Great decor! Except for the Patriots stuff...

    Ate at Brickhouse on two occasions in the past week and had good meals both times. Burgers cooked as I asked, wonderful staff able to work a party of 12 of us or simply 2 friends meeting up for lunch again with the same ammount of attention. Enjoyed my time and the food there and great for sports nights or tailgating before a Canes or Wolfpack game.

    Loved this place. Came here with an old friend. We wanted somewhere without the pretentiousness of Glenwood South. Chicken fingers and karaoke on point.

    The free pool is cool, but most nights their owner brings a pool league in and kicks everyone off the tables. Really LAME if you ask me.

So I took one of the few seats left at the bar on a Tuesday night, and this really feels like the local neighborhood hang where people know each other. People of all kinds can feel welcome in there. They have drink specials every night, and I took advantage of several High Lifes. It was almost like I was living in the midwest again. I started with garlic parmesan wings. The menu said 6, but I got 8, all drums, which I had no problem with at all! Bleu cheese or ranch are added for free. One of the bigger wings had a little bit of pink though, that's not great. Then I had a Usinger's brat with peppers, onions on a toasted roll with a side of spicy mustard. Just 9 bucks. For my side, I got super thick onion rings with some horseradish sauce. Well worth the extra $2.75! The bartenders kept my water glass full. Even though the bar was quite packed, they seemed to do a very good job of keeping everything organized. It's a fun vibe for sure!

    My company ordered Tobacco Road's boxed meals for lunch and dinner last week while we were working…read morefor the day from Raleigh. For my boxes, I selected the Tobacco Road Club and the turkey sandwich. Neither sandwich arrived dressed (pesto mayo, honey mustard), nor did they put dressings on the side. To be clear, absolutely no one in my group received dressed sandwiches. Fortunately, we found some ranch in the office fridge to share, but even still, the club had no cheese so it was essentially just floppy, sad meats with white bread, and the turkey could not have been more bland if they tried. The side salads that came with them were mediocre at best, and the dressing was not great, either. Literally the only good thing I can say is that the chocolate chip cookies were tasty. I have to wonder if they even make those in house. I was not the one to place the order and I'm glad there was no money out of my pocket, but geesh, if they're going to offer boxed lunches, they could try to be a touch more inventive. Perhaps their other food or their ambiance is good, but I'll never know because you couldn't pay me to try them again after that sad food day.

At Tobacco Road, browns fans meet in the dedicated Game room, a wonderful atmosphere and set up for football. Menu is expansive, although the wide variety of dishes may cause some selections to not be prepared with as much thought to the dish. I personally had the Durham Bulls burger, which was amazing and met my standards (you can't go wrong with freshly ground meat in house)! The highlight of my experience was our tender by a long mile. He alone tended to the entire room and was a very personable and detail oriented server. I would I would definitely recommend requesting to be in Evan's section if possible -- or come by for a browns game so you can watch with fellow fans!

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.

The TVs overcome the wall space, the chairs have seen things, and the décor bravely commits to no particular decade or idea whatsoever. Surfaces carry the gentle patina of past patrons--proof that fun was had and only lightly addressed afterward. The staff dash between tables like they've got invisible rockets on their shoes, balancing trays, menus, and the occasional existential dread. New customers arrive like clockwork, and somehow each one is greeted with a smile while the last table is still mid-order and someone else's fries are teetering on the edge of oblivion. Multitasking isn't a skill here--it's a survival tactic. The Old Fashioned lands on the table with all the fanfare of a workmanlike touchdown: competent, decent enough, but not the stuff of legends. No smoky magic, no alchemy--just whiskey, sugar, bitters, and ice doing their basic jobs. The nachos show up looking hopeful: a modest pile of chips garnished with a polite drizzle of cheese sauce, a dab of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkling of lettuce that screams "fresh-ish." The problem is, the cheese is timid, more of a suggestion than a commitment, and the whole thing settles somewhere between "edible" and "I could have made this at home, probably better. This feels like a burger joint to me.....Cheers!

    I went for lunch with a friend on a very cold Tuesday in January. I looked through the flip card…read moretable tent and noticed that the January special is Shrimp and Grits. It sounded hearty and perfect for a cold January day, so I ordered it. The Shrimp and Grits dish consists of shrimp and andouille sausage in a low country gravy over creamy grits. The dish was perfectly spiced--not too hot, just the right balance of heat and flavor. The shrimp were tender, and the smoky andouille sausage added just the right kick. Coupled with the Lowcountry gravy, the shrimp, andouille, and creamy grits came together beautifully, making this a deeply satisfying dish, full of Southern soul. I paired this with a cranberry and club--perfectly made, with the tart juice blending seamlessly with the soda. My friend had the Carolina Dog, at my recommendation (I've had this all-beef Old North State masterpiece here before) and thought it was delicious. My receipt said that Party was my server--maybe Patty, maybe Party--but all I know is that she was great. She was nice, friendly, a great conversationalist, attentive, and a pleasure.

There were lots of dogs present in the covered outdoor seating, including one sitting at the table with its humans. I tried the Freedom Dip, which was really just a French Dip served with French Onion Soup instead of au jus. It came with a very generous serving of roast beef and was served warm with melted cheese. The sandwich was good, although I think the French Onion Soup really didn't go very well; serving it with au jus would have been a better fit. My dining companion tried the The Bogart, basically a marinated chicken breast sandwich. Like my sandwich, the serving size was very generous. She rated it as good but not exceptional. Both of us thought the house-made potato chips were good, but felt that some of the chips weren't thoroughly cooked. Our server was having a bad day and complained about the workload. She explained that if they had enough people working, she would have done a better job taking care of us. For what it is, My Way Tavern is good. If the service had been a bit better, it would have earned a 4-star review.
