Had a great first time experience here for lunch and this place lives up to the reviews . Great service, clan restaurant, and plenty of space with lots to do. They have a couple pool tables and some arcade for kids or adults. I gave the roasted wings and grilled wings a try. Neither disappointed and the roasted ones definitely lived up to the award winning nomination in 2024. The bartender was a great and very attentive.

Had a wonderful experience here, and the service truly made the night. Gigi and Fallon were outstanding! So friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. They checked in at all the right moments and handled everything with ease and professionalism. It’s clear they care about guests having a great time, and that kind of service makes all the difference. We’ll definitely be back, thanks in large part to Gigi and Fallon!

We went to Cary Carolina Ale House for a Monday dinner. We got there around 7 pm and had a party of four adults and two kids. The host was a very kind gentleman who answered questions about where we would be most comfortable as I am disabled and we had kids with us. There was no one on the patio so we chose to sit out there to lessen the chance of me being bumped in to or crowded in by other diners, he even offered to let us try it out to make sure we would be comfortable. The patio was well insulated and very warm and we enjoyed the privacy. We asked the server if it was ok for the kids to move around in the space while no one else was there, she was so welcoming of that and said they could run as much as they wanted. We kept them away from doors so if anyone walked out there wouldn't be an issue, but none other than staff ever came out and we had tons of privacy.

When the food came, the sever was so kind and let the kids sit at their own table near us and served them there. They had a magical experience with it and we enjoyed watching them experience being independent. The manager came out several times to check and make sure we were happy with everything. The staff was incredible, kind, and very attentive even though we were the only people seated in that section and I know it was extra work for the server.

We got two kids meals (Mac and cheese and quesadillas). The kids loved the food and ate most of it. Adults had chicken tenders, fish and chips, varsity burger, and a smash burger. We also got the pretzels and cheese curds as apps.

The apps came out fast and were delicious. One person in our party has a pretty uncommon yet severe allergy and the server took the time to walk through everything and let the kitchen know so there was no cross contamination.

All the food was great. The only issue we had was that the varsity burger was super rare, but was ordered well-done. It was completely pink with only a little brown on the outside. The person who received that chose not to eat it. The server saw and acknowledged it, we did not ask for a refund or discount and one was not offered.

Dinner was wonderful and it was nice to be taken care of so well. After dinner we realized I'd left my phone at the restaurant and called and they had already found it and left it for us to come pick up with no issues.

We really appreciate the attention, service and quality of atmosphere. The cost for all of us was around $100 + tip and that was way cheaper than ordering out. I didn't have my wheelchair here but it would be hard to navigate the main dining space with it because the tables and stools are so crowded, but the patio would have been fine as it's very flat and capacious.

Unfortunately, we found out after we ate the kids eat for .99 cent on Tuesday. But the quality of service will bring us back any day of the week. Thanks to Peter and his entire team for a welcoming, delicious, and safe night. It's just what we needed.

Extremely poor service. Waitstaff couldn’t be bothered to clean the bar. We didn’t eat, had a drink and left. Seemed like we were bothering them. Restaurant was 1/2 empty. We literally went across the street and the experience was amazing. The manager asked, and did listen to my concerns.

We really enjoyed dinner here when we came for my birthday. Our waitress was very friendly but a little unsure of herself. She kept going back to check that she was giving us the right answer. Later, she told us she was new. That explainsswhy when I told her we were celebrating my birthday, she replied “Oh”. Lol We think she was a little nervous. Our entrees were great!
