Too bad my foods gone before I could take pics and post here.“

“I was recently on a work trip with a colleague from Chicago. We found this cute place on the fly. We drove over to the Cary location and were close to closing time. The owners was so kind and let us come in and order food before the kitchen closed. We were even able to get some green tea. The owners were so hospitable and kind, I will definitely return to also visit their Raleigh location to try more items. Great customer service and food was delicious!“

“We usually eat here once (or twice) a week for our office lunch break. Appreciate the daily lunch specials, but while most people probably order burgers (which are good), I very much enjoy the salads! A great place for a quick meal for lunch, before going to a game, etc.“

“the food was awesome, we had ribs, brisket, pulled pork, nachos, wrapped jalapeños, and the best wings ever. the Habenero sauce was not hot, it had just the right heat to it and the Buffalo sauce was amazing. Great service, we never had to flag down our waitress. Great job“

“We experienced their delicious BBQ at the Briskett and Bubbles Festival in downtown Raleigh. 6.2024 Even though they were our last stop and our hunger pains were satisfied, it was super moist, juicy and down right delicious. #burntEnds Whatever you guys are doing keep doing it!“

“By far the best hush puppies and pork ribs you’ll find in North Carolina. The sassy but wonderfully welcoming attitude there makes the meal even that much better. They really go out of their way to cook things so perfect, that you leave there satisfied and really feel as though you’ve had an experience Through the love they put into what they cook. Their sauces are great and they even have a thing where you can pay it forward and buy somebody who’s in need a meal. These guys do it all, I don’t care what anybody says about number one number two, in this place number don’t count it’s what they do that does, and your belly will find out why these guys are amazing. Try it for yourself. You will not be disappointed.!“

“I have come to our store several times in a row because our skewers, pot-roasted pork, and cold noodles are the best I have ever eaten in the United States. Today I came to the store with some good friends and ordered some of my usual favorites. Everyone agreed that it was not only delicious, but must come again.
In addition, the waiter Jenny's service is very good. Every time I see her, she is greeted with a smile. Every time she takes the menu and bill seriously, she is careful and conscientious, and the service is attentive, which is great.“

“I’ve been going here for 2 years now, and the level of food has never changed. At the end of your meal you will clear your plate, sit back in your chair, and let out a sigh of satisfaction. Heads up, Durham location beats the Cary location any day“

“Great brisket and pulled pork“

“Everything taste good. The brisket was very tender and I liked the sauces.“

“I'll give five stars to anyone who has to deal with 911 calls about "pink" BBQ and complaints about a thin blue line flag in the window. I'll be sure to stop in if I'm ever in Raleigh.“

“Enjoyed a nice lunch burger and fries for lunch for only $10. Fries were pretty amazing. Burger was good, could have been a bit bigger, but on the bright side, I can actually function at work for the rest of the day. Great location right in Five Points.“

“I Love It Great Service! Great People“

“Delicious food and nice atmosphere. Everything looked clean and inviting. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. Today was my first time eating at City Barbeque and I will definitely be coming back. Just can’t say enough good things about this place❣️“

“Family & Friends it’s so good“

“We were looking for a good spot to eat and had seen signs on 95 about the spot,,we were in no way disappointed with our visit,,amazing staff down to earth and welcoming,,gave me a nostalgic backyard family BBQ vibe If your in the area this is a definite spot for a awesome plate of BBQ and good family atmosphere Thanks for the hospitality yall“

“I love The Pit. This one is as good as the one in Durham. Great pulled pork, and great service despite going in with a party of 15.

The free hush puppies are the best I have had. And the green beans are a little salty (which i like) .

For the bbq chicken you can actually pick white or dark meat, so that's awesome too.“

“Food is so good I had to come bk for more . I had the shrimp and the brisket“

“Apparently the food is good but I wouldn’t know because I couldn’t get the owners/ crew to call me about my order. I was told multiple times, “I will call you back”. I was even told to send the menu I desired. It was my daughter’s first birthday and I needed a caterer. Customer service is important but clearly that is not Corner Boys priority.

UPDATE: After posting my previous review, I spoke with James from Corner Boys and I must say I am truly pleased with the conversation we had. He showed how important customer service was to his business. I look forward to working with him in the future.“

“I had the pleasure of being served by Robert and let me tell this gentleman’s customer service was phenomenal. As a first time goer, he was considerate enough to go over the menu with me, described the various menu items, and let me know about their most popular menu items. He was very respectful, kind, and accommodating. Robert made the experience wonderful and had great energy.
Now, the food was another bonus. It was actually super delicious and came out hot and fresh. I ordered the fish and chips basket (with hush puppies) with a side of fried okra.
Robert brought my order with some extra in house made seasoning salt (you gotta have that with the fries and okra).
The fish was cooked perfect and the fries were nice and crispy. The okra was breaded well and paired well with in between bites with the fries and fish.

I will most certainly be coming back to try other menu items. My only regret is I could not try everything all at once haha.“

“Had an amazing real good food just like at my friends house :) brings me back. Market I loved got more than I wanted :)“

“Excellent food. Great service.“

“Delicious food and great service even for a family of 6. The servers were very attentive. This was a great place to eat as a finish to our vacation. The wings were probably the best I’ve ever had. I got the Shearon Harris and the flavor was excellent with the right amount of heat. My wife and oldest had the regular BBQ flavor and that was also very good. The Tots with queso was amazing as well. If you’re in the area I strongly suggest trying this place out.“

“Stephanie Food Truck was amazing! First of all, they came the day before to introduce themselves, make sure they knew the location to park the truck so there would be no delay, and they had enough people on hand to take care of the staff in a quick orderly fashion. On the day of our event, they showed up one hour early, staff filtered out and they served 111 people in an hour. The food was wonderful, Romero was so kind. The price, well let's just say - I was very pleased at the discount he offered and we WILL BE USING THEM AGAIN! Thank you Stephanie Food Truck, for a great experience, amazing food, fast service and gracious communication.DanielaNHS“

“Great place! Everything coincided and the establishment itself is cool, the location and the food are delicious, the portions are huge. For the price you pay you get an impressive portion of delicious food. Which you don't have to wait long for. We were pleased with the stand-alone sauces, which you can add for yourself) the friendly staff providing good service. I definitely recommend visiting.

Parking: Huge parking lot nearby with plenty of free parking spaces.

Kid-friendliness: Quite an acceptable menu for children.“

“Kim’s Restaurant is truly a hidden gem, and it easily serves the best Korean food I’ve had in the entire RTP area. The flavors here are authentic, bold, and unforgettable. The squid and pork dish is an absolute standout—it’s a must-have for anyone visiting. Unlike other places where the sauce can be too sweet or overpowering, this dish is perfectly balanced. The savory flavors come through beautifully, making every bite more delicious than the last.

Another highlight was the seafood noodle soup. The spice level was spot on, not overwhelming but just enough to give it that perfect kick, while still allowing the fresh, seafood flavors to shine through. The broth was rich and flavorful, and it’s clear a lot of care went into crafting this dish.

One of the best things about Kim’s is that the portion sizes are very generous, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable compared to other Korean restaurants in the area. You get incredible value for your money, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. It’s hard to find such great food at these prices, especially with portions that will leave you fully satisfied.

From the moment you walk in, the incredible aroma hits you, promising an authentic dining experience. You can immediately tell that this is the real deal, especially if you’re familiar with traditional Korean or Asian cuisine. Every dish we tried was delicious, and it’s easy to see the attention to detail in the cooking.

If you’re in the mood for top-tier Korean food, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates authentic flavors, quality dishes, and great value. Kim’s Restaurant deserves all the praise—it’s a place I’ll be coming back to often!“

“Tastes great, service was quick.“

“I love a good ribeye, Tony Roma's served me the best, most perfectly cooked, tender ribeye I have EVER eaten in my life! The mashed potatoes and green beans were perfect as well! This was a fantastic meal and our server Vee was fantastic as well. we left miserably full and we will be going back!“

“Best place to buy Halal meat. Meat is always fresh and clean. Order on the text is super convenient. Their customer service is excellent!“

“If I could give Maureen Amberg a 10 Star review I would, she is the reason my very first experience dining at Longhorn Steakhouse was so wonderful. She was so keen to make sure our time here was great and went out of her way with service. We will be coming back for sure. The food was better than we expected. Thank you!“

“Quick, food was fresh and really good. Still currently take out only but we sat at a table outside and enjoyed“

“Ordered the steak burger medium well. The bottom was burnt and crispy. The season wings used to be good and seasoned. Don't think I'll be ordering that item again. I mentioned to the waitress and she bought extra season on the side.“

“We frequent this location, and the food is always great and never disappoints. Tonight, our server, Kelly, treated us like we were an inconvenience. We could tell she was not in a good mood from the time she got to our table. Our service was rushed, and she acted like she couldn’t give us the time of day. We understand if someone is having a bad day, but take your attitude somewhere else.“
