    Right next to Starbucks.

    On this side of the GSO airport, this is the only restaurant. That said, I was very impressed with the staff and the food. I didn't want a burger, so I decided to try the pulled pork sliders. Everything is cooked to order, so it's not fast food. Everything is served in styrofoam containers, which I thought was a little strange since I was clearly eating there. The pulled pork sliders were very hot and spicy. The buns were toasted, but very soft as well. I would have preferred a little more coleslaw on the sliders, so I recommend you ask for that when you order. It blends well with the heat. The seasoned fries were among the best I've had in any airport.

    Burgers and fries!

    I am not sure why this place has such low ratings. Every time I have eaten here I have enjoyed my meal and the nice heavy wine pours! Not to mention this is the only restaurant in the GSO airport. (So I'm glad it has good food and nice wine selection)! We ordered burgers fries and wine. Everything was fresh,delicious and hit the spot. I hope to take more afternoon/evening flights from GSO in hopes the local will be open!

    Four stars for a small airport restaurant. Bacon cheeseburger was smoky and close to the medium temp I asked for. Dressed in onion, lettuce, tomato. Fries were hot and crisp. I had a margarita because they were out of ingredients for the original drink I wanted. Margarita was a average, but what do you want from an airport restaurant in a pandemic? They did substitute silver tequila instead of gold for me. Social distancing enforced, staff in masks. Menu reduced, plenty of beer, wine, and a couple basic cocktails. For food, burgers, pork sliders, wings, Cobb and Caesar salad. Again, airport food, but hey, it's ok! Oh, and service great. Server really made sure I never needed anything!

    Really good chicken quesadilla! I even got some extra sour cream. Thanks Emily!

    We had a flight delay & we were really hungry. Even though the ovens had been turned off, we were able to order some chicken quesadillas. They were delicious! We would recommend the Local for dinner for any fliers.

    My friend and I had a later flight out of GSO and tried to get on an earlier flight so we could get home earlier, but we didn't make it. With two and a half hours to spare and this place being the only option that had alcohol, this was the winner. As well as this being a restaurant, it also has a grab and go section with sandwiches and drinks and such. There are plenty of options to sit in here, whether it's regular dining tables, booths, high tops or the bar. (It was super busy - I'm assuming because of the alcohol situation) It has floor to ceiling windows with the view of planes coming to and fro. First we chose a table by the window but then some people moved from the bar so we went and sat there. We ordered a margarita and a berry mojito from our server at the table and when we got to the bar saw that he was making our drinks. I thought that was weird because usually the bartenders do it but I just figured that maybe they were all trained and just switched around. As I was watching him I realized he had no idea what he was doing. He was taking forever and measuring out every little thing and putting it all in one glass and when I got the drink it tasted really bad. I told one of the bartenders I did not like my drink but I didn't know if that was just how they made them or if it was just made badly and she told me she would make me a new one. I told her I felt bad and didn't wanna waste her time if that was just how they are made and with pure southern hospitality charm she smiles and says "we can at least try". So she made me a new one and it was GREAT. As far as food options here, it's not a wide variety. Mostly fattening American food. We decided to order the chicken quesadilla's. I was kind of hesitant because usually quesadillas anywhere that's not a Mexican restaurant are an epic fail but I didn't want anything else on the menu. They tasted really good and it was a large amount of food. One thing I loved about sitting at the bar here is that there were outlets underneath so you can charge your phone/ laptop etc. I can't remember the girls name that ended up serving us at the bar (For any managers reading this it was 4.18.18 at around 5pm) but she made our experience very enjoyable because she was so friendly and happy! You can tell she loves her job and it makes such a difference for a customer's experience.

    Nothing special, typical expensive airport food. Service is good and the food is just meh. I had the low country omelette which had a tomato jamb and sausage, no wow factor. It's the only restaurant in the terminal, no high expectations and you're good.

A couple of family members joined us there. Both ordered plates of shrimp and grits and enjoyed them, as well as two side dishes that accompanied the entrees -- especially the deep fried "blooming " onion. Although my order of Greek salad was fresh and tasty, the added chicken proved tough and gristly. (However, it could have simply been a bad day for grilled chicken.) My husband, who is currently undergoing cancer treatments, ordered several dishes of vegetables but was feeling so badly when our meals arrived, he was unable to eat. This is when Cagney's began to shine -- service. Service is near the top of our review checklist, and can make or break any dining experience. Our waitress, Chloe, was (and, I believe, is) gold. Although a busy evening with a "full house," she waited on us quickly, got our order straight on the first try and updated us twice on one item coming out of the kitchen a few minutes after everything else. She checked on us from time to time and noticed my husband's fading energy. She noticed that he left the restaurant to relax in the car while we finished our meal. She asked if I might like to take his meal, which remained untouched, with me. When she returned with the take-home container, she had written a personal message on the lid and offered kind words and a warm hug for me. The next day, my husband asked me to warm his leftover meal so that he could have it for lunch. He said it was delicious. That alone is worth a great review. Add in Chloe, and dining at Cagney's was stellar.

Our seats were in the main dining area, which is an absolute feast for the eyes. The area was super busy and crowded but you'd never know it because everything just flowed, like a well oiled machine.

Our server was excellent, the wine list is impressive, my local beer was fantastic, and my wife enjoyed her wine. The food was where things slipped. My wife's wood-fired salmon was pretty good, but her vegetables came out with no seasoning at all. My wood-fired filet was cooked exactly right, but it also had no seasoning, and when you find yourself asking for steak sauce for a filet, something has gone wrong in the kitchen. Then the peach crumble showed up and stole the entire night. It is genuinely amazing, and I'd tell anyone within earshot to order it. Great atmosphere, great service, great drinks, and a dessert worth the trip. If the kitchen brings the seasoning up to the level of everything else, this is easily a four-and-a-half-star restaurant.

All of the employees we encountered were very friendly. Ally was our server and was AMAZING. We told her it was our first time there and she gave us some great recommendations. They also made a really good margarita and I am not typically a fan of traditional margaritas. The food and drink recommendations she made for the table were great, and the onion rings are definitely the best ones we've had in the area since relocating here. Both sandwiches we had were great. The Chicken Philly had a little bit of a kick to it, which made it a nice change from usual Philly sandwiches and the Cuban was different from a traditional Cuban as it had some barbecue sauce on it. It was a little different for me at first, but I ended up really liking it. Both salads were pretty big and both people really liked the salads. The person that got the blackened grouper Baja salad thought that the grouper was fabulous, seasoned perfectly and loved the salad overall.

Great casual atmosphere, the staff have really come into their own, and the food is simple but has little touches that often make it a small cut above most other sports bar type places around. My favorite things to order are the smashburgers, chicken philly (almost as good as the one at Old Town, a restaurant also belonging to this same owner), and now the fish and chips. I decided to get those last night, and the fish was two good size thick cod filets, fried and breaded perfectly. The fish was flaky and tender, the remoulade it came with really elevated it, I'm glad it was not plain tartar sauce (gross). The appetizer favorite here is the pulled pork nachos for me, otherwise, we usually just get meals. If I had one small complaint, it's that the tea is usually brewed pretty weak. Steep it a little longer, and you've got me fully hooked.
