31 Best Bar & Grill near Cary

“one of my favorite bars ! awesome staff , food, drinks, entertainment, even events !“

“Wasn’t sure what to expect for a place just off the side of the road- but I was pleasantly surprised. This place has the largest variety of whiskey in the area. Highly recommend it for a night cap or just a drink with your SO. The staff is very friendly, as are the patrons. They also have a wall for gaming- if you enjoy gaming- and plenty of televisions.“

“Great service. I love their fish fry and I'm a big fan of the potato pancakes.“

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.“

“On a very hot and busy evening, we took the only seats available, outside- the outdoor seating happens to be a beautiful sun room with a nice view. We came in mid dinner rush on a Friday evening and this place was PACKED, so naturally it was a little busy, and the kitchen had a nightmare on their hands to work through. That being said, the food came out a little slow, and without any sort of prompting, or anything, one of the owners (a VERY nice lady) came out and apologized for the wait, then comped our appetizer for coming out after the entrees, and to top it off she threw in a free dessert for the "trouble" which as far as we were concerned wasn't any trouble at all. The product itself was well worth the wait. I personally NEVER finish my entrees at restaurants, and I absolutely destroyed the Caribbean Burger I ordered. SO worth the wait. Portions are great, food quality was awesome, the entire staff was friendly, despite it being so busy and so hot, the whole experience was awesome from walking in, to closing out. 20/10, would absolutely come here again and would recommend this place to anyone who loves a good Midwestern meal with a great atmosphere.“

“I came here with a couple friends about a month ago on a Tuesday night and it happened to be their trivia night. And we ended up joining in on the fun.

The place is huge! The main room has a long bar and was full. We were seated in a room across from the bar. It was also huge and I think they occasionally had live music in that room. Our server was attentive and was constantly refilling our drinks. However, once we finished eating, we never saw our server again. Not even to to fill up water. As soon as the trivia ended, our server resurfaced and hovered while we settled our bill. Weird, right?

We were seated in a booth. Just three of us. It could have easily held six people.

So, someone comes by and says we're playing trivia. It's on the app and he shows us the app and tells us how to set it up.

This is all before we order drinks. It's all about the trivia. I have no idea where the other teams were as the place was ginormous.

We were there for our burger club. Between the three of us, we ordered the Tavern burger and the 'Merica burger. They were cooked very well, very flavorful. The buns held up, cheese melted well and fries crispy, but not too crispy. Everything was good...

Except that damn trivia game. It took forever. A simple trivia game that should have last maybe 45 minutes dragged on for nearly two hours. It was insane how slow it was. And no one wanted to leave? And I have no idea why as the prize was like a $25 gift card. It was lame.

I'll definitely return to try some of their other food, but I'll avoid their damn trivia night.“

“Literally the best theme brunches!!! So much fun with great food!“

“If you want a romantic date night, this isn't it. But if you want some of the best pizza in Illinois, huge burgers, great prices and friendly staff then give them a shot. You will never regret getting a pizza here I can promise you that. Been around forever, picnic tables outside by the Fox River and a great spot to relax along nw hwy. Love the Dead End“

“Great little place to hang out and grab a burger and chat with local folks“

“Thank you Carrie and Sue for serving us and thank you! Freddy for the free raffles and the dollar tacos for the Bears game on Sundays. All their food is outstanding. Highly recommend trying them out, especially their fish fry on Friday nights.“

“Great time … great food…. Excellent staff !!! Good job guys !!!“

“We were in the area after visiting the Trading Post, we noticed the sign for fish fry on Fridays, stopped in around 1pm and was warmly greeted by the bartender, a lot of regulars were inside but she did not ignore us and took our drink and then our fish order. Food came quickly and was delicious! I had the fish tacos. We really felt welcomed and we were satisfied with the whole experience.“

“If you want to sit by the water and enjoy a nice night out and great snack food (Italian Beef bites) and burgers, I recommend The Longshot. Go see Lisa on Friday night and tell her Krista and Lori sent you!“

“Place is an amazing place to get food and have a drink. The bartenders and staff are super friendly!“

“I had shopped for wine at Vin for years without ever once popping my head in here. Shame on me.

Not only does this hidden gem have arguably the best smashburger in the entire Chicagoland region, but they have great beers on tap that change seasonally and a chill vibe due to their expertly curated indie music selection.

Go to the Doodle if you want to find a place where time seems to stop and you can forget about the outside world for a while.“

“If you haven't tried this place, I strongly recommend it. The DAILY specials are EXCELLENT. The Chopped Salad is so gooood. Staff is friendly. An overall 5-star experience.“

“The atmosphere is great, the food is amazing will be back for sure. I met the owner super cool guy and the bartender remembered my name! They are starting to have more music events which I'm very excited about.“

“They went above and beyond to make our cocktails (Dark and Stormy) when they were out of ginger beer...they went to a neighboring bar and got some! the ceviche was great too!“

“we are here to create a causal and cozy place for you to play and eat. we know many locals already know us and like us, we are appreciating your support, and looking forward to servicing you better, let us know how we may do better to serve you.“

“I was there for a fundraiser last night. The food was really good, especially your salsa! Our server was attentive and kept track of our large group really well. We hadn't been there for a long time but will definitely be back again! Thank you so much.“

“Great place to eat on the water. Love the screened in dining on the upper patio. Exceptional decorations during holidays! They know how to have a good time. Food was delicious. I ordered the renegade burger and tots. The best burger I've had in a long time. The tots were fresh and deep fried; didn't taste like freezer burn!“

“Best bar pizza in town, loaded with toppings and cooked to perfection! Always a great time due to the great environment.“

“was there on Sunday October 6th,Great place to watch a Bears game, food prices are really good. The Bone in chicken wings are really good. I had the sweet teriyaki My friend had the garlic parmesan wings we also ordered a pizza however the pizza was okay The cheese was rubbery, I would have liked to have brought these issues to my server however she was kind of in hiding, my server was very slow and that's usually not the case there..
maybe she had an off day“

“love this place. great service and drinks. the food is well priced and delicious“

“I've ordered here and have sat in. I recommend sitting in over ordering online because the take out portions for sides is ridiculous. Not once, but three times I tried ordering wings with fries and the amount of fries I got were about 15 average each time. That ridiculous. That's why it's a 3 star for service.

Eating in, love the food, love the bar deals, and really enjoy the interior of this location. There is a divider in the middle to separate families dining in and people hanging at the bar. Regardless, everyone is friendly and inviting.

The wings are average, but the sauces are fantastic! I was also surprised by how good the nachos were.

Don't order out with fries, but do sit in!“

“love this place eeverything about it“

“Great food, fast, and $12 dinner specials everyday!“

“Amazing food and service!“

“We celebrated my fiancee's 30th surprise birthday at Bikini! They helped us set everything up perfectly for the surprise and we had a great time! Lots of fun for everyone with all the games and great pricing on drinks! We usually go for a night out and would definitely recommend Bikini for any party!“

“This was our second time there, and love the food we had both times.“
