    Dip trio
    Kelly D.

    We met friends for dinner on a Saturday night. They place was not to busy when we arrived but quickly filled in. Our server was nice, and maybe she was new, but she was unable to answer our questions about drinks or what was on tap. They have a drink specials list, and it seems that if you aren't ordering one of those, then they are unable to make the drink. For example, they have a Carmel apple mule but were unable to make a standard Moscow mule. I ordered the espresso old fashioned ( two of my favorite things!), but it was not good. The espresso overwhelmed the drink. They had a decent beer list, so we stuck with that after striking out with the cocktails. We ordered the Dip trio, and that was good, and the shrimp tacos were also very good. The bar area is definitely darker, but the dining side is a little better. It does get loud when the band starts, making it very difficult to chat. Overall, the food is good, the beer is decent but avoid the cocktails and bar area.

    Fried raw chicken

    Easily the worst meal I've had in Indian Trail. There isn't much worse than biting into a wing and discovering you're eating fried raw chicken. The sides were also terrible. Managers treated the situation poorly until they finally gave me a $25 gift card but I would never go back. Doesn't meet my standards but first person to read this and have slow standards, here's a gift card code on me: 8627 7514 0824 0681

    Stalling's Chicken Sandwich -grilled tossed in buffalo

    This is a great spot for a casual dinner. We stopped by on Sunday night to watch football and grab a bite to eat. It was not very busy that night so we were able to be seated without a wait for a table. Our server was super helpful and made sure we were taken care of immediately after being seated. She took our drink orders and food orders quickly too which was nice. The food came out pretty quickly and was great! Never tried the Korean wing flavor at the restaurant before but it did not disappoint! The lemon pepper wings are always great! We will definitely stop by again soon!

    The Trail House seems to serve as a hub of excitement in the small but rapidly growing suburb of Indian Trail, NC. If you want to catch a game they have TVs galore along with inexpensive beer and cocktails and some solid food options. They also host trivia nights, music bingo, open mics, and have a nice stage for live bands to perform. Really there is something for everyone here. My first trip occurred on a Sunday where I found myself in need of some hair of the dog and something hearty and a bit greasy to help me fight off a hangover. Their menu consists of some classic pub favorites from barbecue nachos, to flatbreads, to burger sliders. Basically exactly what I was looking for. I decided on the Buffalo grilled cheese which I devoured in minutes. Really loved the vibe here and if I lived in the area I would certainly be a regular.

    Came for lunch for the Labor Day Holiday. Located in the shopping center behind their Starbucks. Was not busy at all, and they had plenty of parking located in their lot. We were seated right away upon arrival. Our waiter was super efficient and friendly (failed to get his name) very attentive and gave great recommendations. I ordered their regular carolina burger with French fries. My sister ordered their French onion soup, pimento but sandwich, and house salad. Their fries were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I'm a French fry person, and these were the best. They were crispy just how I like them and not super hot to where you need to wait till their cold to eat. Burger was delicious as well. The meat felt a bit dry, though, but it didn't bother me too much. Still delicious! Definetly will come back if I'm ever in the area.

    We pop in for bingo (second Tuesday of the month) and always have a great time!…read more Parking can be a bit of a challenge, so I often find myself parking across the street, though I'm usually going at a busier time. The bar is divey, and you can find very cheap drinks, especially if you go for the daily specials. The bartenders are nice - beware that they do keep your card if you keep your tab open - and seem to know the regulars. In addition to monthly bingo, they seem to host drag events, have video games and board games available to play, as well as several TVs. Plus, dogs can go inside and out. The bar does not serve food, though usually there is a vendor there. Looking forward to next month!

    Part neighborhood pub, part dive bar, Hattie's has a reputation as a hipster hang out (I don't mean…read morethat in a bad way but I know some may take it that way). There is no food but they have cheap drinks, old school games, a spacious patio, and they host cool events like bingo night. Their motto is "Mind your P's and Q's" which I found amusing. I have only been in a few times so I can comment on if their patrons typically adhere to this code of conduct! Overall I think it is worth checking out if you've never been and maybe it will grab you and you will want to become a regular. Me personally it's a little out of the way to become a regular haunt located in between Plaza and NoDa but not walking distance from either. Also it's not that the service was ever unfriendly but I just didn't feel like it was my vibe. Still a cool bar though and I can see why other enjoy it.
