So far the best hamburger in RDU and consistent quality, taste and service!…read more Venue: casual, burger joint. Full bar available in front if you want to watch sports game. High top and bar seat in the bar. Tables and booth seating in the restaurant. Food: ordered good ol' cheese burger which you can make your own (you can pick type of protein for the patty, veggies, cheese, sauce etc). Patty is cooked just like we asked- juicey and well flavored. Deviled egg was phenomenal- little rich and on the salty side but it only compliments their amber ale to chug. Another complimenting dish to the ale is definitely fried pickle. Portion is good=big. Oh, came here another time. Burger was good again. I ordered Philly cheese, which I loved the taste but the ground beef instead of shaved beef was not for me. Service: both times, the service was great. Fast and very attentive. Price: I think the price is reasonable if not, really great. $4 pint amber ale? It's a steal!

Ultimately, this was a generally terrible experience. The service was slow, the food was terrible,…read moreand I saw a health code violation. It took a while for the waitress to come over and take our order. The restaurant was not busy (other than our table there was only one other) and it took 10 minutes to be asked what we wanted to drink. Then it took another 10 minutes for the water to show up and to have our orders taken. I ordered the Bad Ass Burger with fries. The fries arrived cold and floppy. I let the waitress know the fries were cold and she graciously took then and had them remade. The second set, arrived hot and floppy...and were unseasoned. The burger itself was terrible. The meat patties were not seasoned and overcooked (ordered medium arrived well done). Ultimately, the food was just disappointing. Lastly, I saw one of the cooks vaping over the food.

The parking situation is interesting, there are a few spots behind/besides the building, curb parking in front, and then a dirt area that it doesn't look like you can park in, but people do. The food is consistently good. I've had their salads, sandwiches, pizza and a few dinner specials. They also usually have several seasonal cocktails. Inside, you seat yourself and someone greets you quickly. Outside, I think they want you to make contact with a server first, and then sit down. Everyone I've encountered here has been very nice and service is quick. I make a point to stop in when in the area.

I visited The Grocery Bag to try one of their "almost famous" hot dogs. The convenience store and…read morerestaurant were doing a steady business on a Friday night around 5:45. I totally missed the "order here" sign but a person in the cashier line pointed me to it. There I got a hot dog with chili, mustard, and slaw. The woman at the cashier was very friendly and kind. I'm guessing she was the manager. The hot dog was ready by the time I got to the front of the line. Speedy service. I sat down at one of the nice wooden tables they have inside. The hot dog was...just ok. I'm a big fan of cole slaw and this dog just had a dollop on it and was pretty light on mustard. I wouldn't mind that as much except that I didn't love the chili taste. I can't put my finger on it, but the flavor was just not what I love. This place is super cute and clearly a local institution. I'd recommend other folks go by and try it.

It's your basic hamburger and hotdog spot, I ordered a double cheeseburger with chili and slaw and a small french fry. The cheeseburger was okay, but all the flavor came from the chili and slaw, that Hamburg patties did not have any flavor at all. Price were okay but how hard is it to dump a bag of crinkle cut fries and a fryer? Overall I think it's a once and done type place, I really don't see any reason to go back.

From the very first spoonful, the texture stands out -- unbelievably smooth, rich, and creamy without feeling overly heavy. It has a silkiness that melts perfectly on your tongue, creating a luxurious experience that regular ice cream just can't quite match. The flavor is equally impressive. The vanilla tastes pure and authentic, with a subtle sweetness that never overwhelms your palate. Instead of being sugary, it delivers a balanced, comforting taste that feels both indulgent and refreshing at the same time. You can tell it's made fresh -- every bite has that just-churned quality that elevates it beyond typical frozen treats.
