    This is debatably the poorest run establishment I've ever seen. Food was honestly, straight trash, unseasoned, expensive, rationed portions. Place is loud, dirty, takes forever to get your food. (Waited 2+ hours) Overall, worst dining experience in a while.

    Hot honey tenders bacon queso fries

    I would do 2.5 if they had a half star! Customer service was great and the hot honey sauce itself was good. I just didn't see the hype. The line was out the door and the wait for food was 45 minutes to an hour. We agreed to wait to see what it was about! The guy at register suggested Hot honey tenders and bacon queso fries because they were popular so I went with it! The tenders were dry to me, I like that the fries were real fries. I'm glad they had seafood and vegan options. The shrimp burger was ok, needed more lemon pepper. The vegan nuggets were ok the sauce ration for the tenders and nuggets could have been better tossed a little more to get the saucy effect. The ambiance was cool they had the music going and everyone was just chatting waiting on their food .

    Good af but took 15 mins before someone took our order and half my order was wrong, they did put all the extras on my second plate

    I had the hot chicken plate with fries shrimp and a loaded sauce on top. This food was so dang good. It was worth the wait. Waited for a long time not gonna lie try ordering ahead because honestly waiting here sucked once I got my food though I was so happy, it was some of the best food I've ever had while being out here and I really want it before I go this place was dank like in the name. Everyone enjoyed their food and definitely clean their plates. I'm happy I came here.

    Wings n fries combo

    I have been meaning to check this place out for awhile now and I finally made it! There is no parking lot but I was able to find a park on the street. I thought it was a bit pricey to pay $18 for 6 wingettes and fries but I wanted it so I paid for it. I got the hot garlic parm wings and honey jerk fries. The wings were good but the standout was the fries for me. Also, I got an Oreo-Birthday Cake cookie. Totally worth the $5 bucks. Music can be a bit loud at times but still an enjoyable environment. I would definitely return.

    Good food fast friendly people open late. The place is very nice and big. A lot of food for cheap prices.

    Shrimp with the dank sauce is my number one go to!!!!

    Shrimp with the dank sauce is my number one go to!!!! I love the jerk dry rub for my fries with some honey drizzle, but today I tried the hot garlic Parmesan rub, that's so amazing too!!!! Love the food here!!!!

    Lots of food.

    Good food! Cute server. Win-win. I got the shrimp platter, three wings, and Cajun fries.

    Now, I've been a big fan of the Dankery since they had their food truck set up outside of a brewery company in Durham, but I just recently got a chance to pull up to their location in Downtown Raleigh. They have so many different variations chicken and loaded fry combinations to choose from and every single one SLAPS! They also have chicken Phillies, chicken tender sandwich, hot dogs, wings and shrimp trays - and they can all be loaded. I enjoy the hot garlic parm tenders with crab fries covered in lobster sauce. And obviously, you must grab a couple of ashleighbakesdaily cookies for the road!

    Chicken queso fries
    Caroline D.

    I got the chicken and queso which was very salty and peppery with spice but not necessarily any deeper flavor. The chicken was very very shredded and didn't really feel like chicken but just like specs of meat. My friend got the honey mustard chicken wings which were much better and you do get a lot of protein for what you pay for. There is no AC so it was sweltering hot and the TV was just playing very loud drama TV. The service was fine but I don't exactly get the hype. It seems like food truck food and feels like a food truck inside. If you get the food for take out definitely much more enjoyable experience.

    Shrimp plates with fries
    Terenique J.

    Food: This is the second time me and my husband went. The food was amazing with a nice movie! Shrimp crispy but they put too much sauce and too much salt on the shrimp itself. But overall the fries are always our favorite last time he tried the shrimp burger and it was amazing and i tried the chicken tender tray with lemon pepper they were not lemon pepper it was some honey sauce and the chicken tasted fake! Service: 10/10 they are always friendly nice and working hard to get everyones food out and they send a text message to your phone notifying you thats your food is ready Ambiance: is chill and laid back! Neon lights and music is always blasting! I LOVE IT . and they have plenty of lounge space and tables for it to fit a good amount of people! Black owned business and community supported for sure ! We will continue to come back and support

    Best dang chicken is CORRECT. Please Rise, please extend your hours…read more We are firm believers that if they stay open just like Canes/Popeyes, they'll steal a lot of business. Anytime we want late night chicken, we can't find a solid place that's close by we have to drive 25-30min. We can only eat rise in the morning. It's an amazing breakfast don't get me wrong, but we really think the Cary Morrisville area needs a solid late night chicken spot. All of us have to drive to downtown Raleigh or to chapel hill for canes or 25/30min for Popeyes! You guys have better items across the board and better pricing..... Let me know if you need help finding employees! My LinkedIn is poppin sometimes and I'd love to help your team make more money. Only people that compete quality wise are Grill&go and Meat&bite but very far drive from Morrisville Thanks for my Ted talk! Oh yeah order anything, it'll be amazing. Ambiance is a fast casual window minimal indoor seating!

    Best spot for walk-in breakfast biscuits, located in Cameron Village. Great variety of menu options…read morefor signature biscuits and sides. This time I went with a custom BYO - Bacon & Egg White Biscuit, extra bacon and added a side of grape jelly for balance. Biscuit was baked to perfection, nice texture, and the egg white was my splash of health consciousness. On a prior visit I had the Sweet Country Blues biscuit which was very good as well. I enjoy the open kitchen vibe that really gives it the bakery ambience. I recommend placing your order online in advance for pickup. The pickup process is convenient using your name to unlock the box containing your order.

It's pricey but good quality and large portions. The sliders are huge. Don't mistake them for being small. Plenty of parking in a shared lot by the garage. Tables are easy to maneuver around with an assistive device. Would come back. I have 4 stars because it took a long time. I suppose good food takes time but it also takes the fast out of fast food to wait 15 + minutes for a small order. I'll be better prepared next time. I also deducted because the bathrooms were nasty and there was no toilet paper in the stall. It says to flush twice and it's apparent people didnt because the toilet was stopped up and I couldn't get myself to use it. Then finding no toilet paper was enough to make me skip it all together. I would definitely make it a littler easier with the pick up. First off we couldn't hear what number they called and some of us older folk can't remember numbers. I had to get my receipt to confirm the number because I couldn't remember if it was 5 or 6 or what. Then the order came and looked nothing like I expected and I had to check again to make sure I had the right number. If they can keep the bathrooms clean and call the numbers a little louder, I think it would help a bit.

    Food and Drink: I had Meat & Bite for the first time while on a work trip! For dinner, I had the…read morespecial with a smashburger, chicken tenders and french fries. The smashburger was phenomenal!!! It had their special sauce, jalapeños, lettuce, tomato, and cheese on it. The burger was well seasoned and cooked just right with those smashburger crispy edges. The chicken tenders were also well seasoned, crispy, fresh, and actually tender to the bite. The fries had the perfect amount of salt and crisp and I didn't expect to get it, but my meal also came with a nice slice of texas toast. Overall, I left with a good first impression, and am definitely coming back next time I'm in Raleigh. Customer Service: Upon arrival, the owner introduced herself to me and welcomed me in. She was soooooo friendly!!! I appreciated her entrusting me to one of her cashiers for recommendations when I told her it was my first visit! He was down to earth and very outgoing when asking what I had a taste for and how hungry I was and advising how he hooks his food up! Needless to say, him recommending the special was the best idea! Ambiance: This place is casual, well-lit and inviting. It's next to the college campus so it's ideal for a group of friends meeting up in the evening or for lunch!
