    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.

    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.

    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!!!!

    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

So the salt, smoke and sweetness all worked really nicely together.

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.

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. It was very cold outside, but our booth was very warm and comfortable. Every time I come, I notice something new--today it was the Chelsea banner on the ceiling. This is a great bar and grill with a warm, fitting atmosphere. Another very fine experience and yet another reason to return.

I've been to The Station many times over the years both with my husband and/or my Mom. All of the staff members are super friendly and helpful. Yesterday my Mom and I really enjoyed chatting with the manager, Doug. He was so welcoming and seemed genuine when he said he hoped we come back soon. I love their mostly enclosed booths. I also love that they seem to have a team approach to waiting tables. Each time I've been we have had at least a couple of people check to see if we need anything. The Station always has an excellent selection of beers on tap and I have never eaten anything there that was not delicious.

I'd go back and try other menu items for sure.

Inside, it's a whole different story. It's the Platonic ideal of a sports bar: walls plastered with TVs all screaming different games, tables that seem to have been ordered straight from the 'Standard Pub Starter Kit,' and a menu where the wings and fries are always reliable but the cocktail list is more suggestion than promise. Still, what they lack in vermouth or fresh herbs, they are fortunate the bartenders make up for in charm, speed, and the kind of easy banter that keeps you ordering another round.

Full disclosure, that's the only time I've ever been here, so this review will be about that experience only. You will want to get here at least 30 mins before kickoff to get a table. Also in my experience the 1PM games are much easier to find a spot for than anything else. We've definitely walked in, walked around, and walked right back out on game day before since if you don't have a table, there is not a lot of room to stand. The service is great! The servers are very attentive! The food is also fantastic! Their Philly cheese nachos are my favorites and my husband loves their wings (buffalo hot especially). They also have a pretty eclectic and long list of shooters if you are into that. It's wonderful to hear our fight song and there is always one guy who walks around giving high-fives to people in Eagles gear. I love it! This is a great spot. Go birds.
