At least once a month we are craving The Dankery and are so glad there is one less than 5 mins from us (SE Raleigh location, not Hillsborough St). For us, it's worth any wait times you may have because honestly, we haven't been disappointed yet. We typically order chicken tenders or nuggets wet, but have tried almost everything on the menu at this point. The most genius thing on the menu is the quintessential girl dinner... chicken Cesar salad fries. One of my go-to choices! We usually pick-up and eat at home, so we can't speak much to the ambiance, but the time spent inside ordering and waiting was great. Nice people, clean, good vibes overall. If you are expecting a sit-down experience, go to a place like Sammy's or somewhere else. But if you want finger-licking, can't stop thinking about it, need to pop a button on your pants kind of fried and grilled classics? Try The Dankery. Pro tip: keep up with their Instagram for visuals of ordering options and other updates from them since they don't have a website yet. read more

Yea just no. After what I've been seeing and hearing ... no thanks . Check out the sanitation scores before trying any business

I loved my late night experience at The Dankery! I ordered a chicken, tender tray with fries and had that with buffalo and lemon pepper sauce with a side of ranch. The chicken was tender inside and crispy on the outside overall very flavorful. I love that the venue plays music that is upbeat and fun. The decor is very interesting, neon colors, bright oranges, and it's a fun vibe when you walk in. This is an order at the counter type of service and the staff was nice! read more

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. read more

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 . read more

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. read more

Horrible service, ordered delivery and they told my dasher it was picked up but DoorDash was never updated and refused to remake it.

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. read more

Wow. I've been wanting to come here for a minute and we finally moved close to the newer location off rock quarry rd. We went around 6/7ish pm. No wait at all. The longest process was honestly us just figuring out what we wanted to eat. Settled on the steak sandwich with the crawfish queso fries and then the hot honey tenders with the bacon queso fries. Yall. This food was FIRE. My man and I are from Chicago so we are veryyyyyyy big foodies. But man, the Dankery did their thing. I took a video and tagged them on IG and forgot to take a damn picture lol. Just know it was bomb. We WILL be back! read more

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

The Dankery - Lots of food. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I got the brisket queso cheese fries and the wert garlic parm tenders and all of it was delicious! The chicken tenders were huge and cooked perfectly so they were nice and juicy when you bit into them and the brisket queso fries were in another level. I definitely recommend trying this spot and will be a must have for me on game days. read more

My husband and I visited your Hillsborough Street location first but found it closed, so we went to the New Birch Drive location. We placed our order at around 9:30 PM but did not receive our food until approximately 11:00 PM -- nearly an hour and 2 hours later. After ordering , we were told we would get a text when the food was ready, but no text ever came. My husband went inside approx 10:35 and waited about 10 minutes, while our food was actually already sitting at the pickup station the entire time. The young lady working said the food wasn't his, but the phone number was very similar to his. When my husband checked the boxes, he realized it was our order. The staff then said, "Oh, I'm sorry, that is your food." By that time, our food was cold and the experience was incredibly disappointing, especially after waiting so long. We expected much better communication and service. We gave them grace due to over hearing they had one cook and one person taking orders. Unfortunately, after this experience, we won't be returning. read more

I recently visited the Dankery on Hillsborough. I had been trying to visit for a whole. The cashier was amazing. I advised her that it was my 1st time at the restaurant, and she went through a couple of menu items with me. I ordered tenders and fries. The tenders were a nice size and had great flavor. I am a "potato " girl so of course I enjoyed the fries. I enjoyed the food and will definitely return to try other items. read more

Grifters and thieves. I couldn't tell you what the food taste like because the cashier stole my money right in front of my face. Made an order, never got it when I asked for my money she told me they don't do refunds. You can see them while you wait for your food switch items from tray to tray to fulfill order for their friends while you wait for yours. I know this review is not going to make a difference because they truly don't care. If you are not part of their friend crowd, they'll get to your order when they feel like it. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Wings taste like fried in shrimp grease :( Fries were dry Customer service wasn't the best 6/10 not worth $23 read more

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 read more

Flew in town for the Dreamville festival and found this place on tik tok for late night place to eat in Raleigh. I'm glad I found this place because it was the highlight of my trip. The place was pretty packed so automatic I prepared myself mentally to wait in line forever but to my surprise I was in and out. The cashier was pleasant and provided sauce suggestions as they had so many to choose from. I sat down for a hot second as they had plenty of seating inside. The food was prepared quickly and came out fresh. Yum yum yum, I wish I could've packed The Dankery up and took them back home with me lol. I will definitely be back here the next time I'm in town!! read more

This place is fire!!! Found this place on TikTok and knew I had to go when I got to Raleigh and boyyyyyyy was it good. The customization you can do with the menu is top tier because the options seem to never end! The staff was super friendly and helped me and my friends decide on what we all wanted. This place is open late and great for after club/bar vibes. I definitely will be back when I come to Raleigh! read more

I will never go back here specifically due to the customer service. I had never been here before and I asked for clarification on the menu and they treated me as though I was stupid and didn't even have most of the items on the menu. I was so off put by the customer service I left and didn't even buy anything here. If I could give a 0 star I would read more

This was my first time at this location. I had the Parmesan wings and fried. And a strawberry crunch cake. The wings were good. The fries were just a tan bit soggy. The cake was amazing. My dates order was amazing!! I believe he had crab fries and they were something totally different than what I have ever tried. My dates was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed our meal in the restaurant watching one of their televisions inside. I would definitely go back and try a few other things on the menu. The strawberry crunch cake was amazing and I will go back for that every time!!!! read more

The Dankery - First time here ! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This place is great and has a lot of great wing flavors. The bacon fries are delicious. Shout out to Avery. I was the designated driver for three drunk dudes and was overwhelmed much like a parent chaperoning three out of control middle schoolers and she took it upon herself to order one of every wing flavor. She even came over and explained what everything was once it was ready. 10/10 great experience. read more

Bruh....this food is crazy. The wait is freaking worth it. I don't know who is making food in the back but this food is incredible. This food is nourishment. On a different level. The atmosphere is perfect. read more

Service was dreadful and food was not so great won't be back and also the was a little long

This location is close to my home but I'd rather go to the original location. I LOVE their fried shrimp but sadly this time I was so disappointed because my taste buds were craving that shrimp and they were super salty. The staff are a bunch of young people in there working and playing but very hospitable but how do they not know that shrimp live in salt water so they don't need to be over seasoned???!!! The shrimp had so much seasoning on it that I had an instant headache and couldn't eat ANY more but the queso bacon fries was so delicious and help save this review!! I would definitely suggest they lighten up with that heavy-handed seasoning so that the food can be as enjoyable as it should be. read more

Chicken and queso sandwich had good flavor but the bottom bun was pretty soggy. "Wet" garlic parm fries were good! Lemonade was excellent, assuming it was house made since there was no label on the container. My fiancé had wings with buffalo ranch, wings are breaded which we don't love, and he said the sauce wasn't great. Had the crawfish and queso fries - extremely soggy, not sure If the last bit of crawfish was just dumped on top or maybe not strained? We were the only customers in there so the foot was quick and the person checking us out was helpful, made sure we understood the menu, and friendly. The music and TV were unbearably loud - you can't have a normal conversation in there. read more

My girlfriend and I decided on this last minute since our normal place closed early. I got the nashville hot tender sandwich with bacon queso fries. The tender sandwich was not nashville hot, I couldn't even tell you what it was. The only reason I put 2 stars was because of the bacon queso fries. My girlfriend got the tender tray with lemon pepper tenders and regular fries with ranch. When we got home there was no ranch and the lemon pepper was barely on there which ruined the meal as well as the tenders were about as good as frozen. Staff was friendly though and the service was quick. If I go again, it'll be for more fries! read more
