“Very nice workers and the coffee is great too.“

“If you are planning a special occasion or just want a night out at a wonderful restaurant, I have a bit of advice for you. Go to Chef Palette! This establishment has got it together. The atmosphere is just lovely. We planned our son and future daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner from afar, way far.....Michigan. As stressful as that could have been, Kathie did everything to ease our stress. She calmed this Momma's heart and executed everything to a "T". The appetizer table was not only displayed beautifully, it was YUMMY! The salad, main entrees and dessert did not disappoint. But most of all, the staff was most kind and extremely professional. We cannot thank Kathie and the staff at Chef Palette enough for the wonderful and memorable evening we shared together. GO TO CHEF's PALETTE!“

“Amazing food and great service“

“The food was great! I had the shrimp and grits, potatoes and Belgian waffle. The waffle was the best. The shrimp and grits were creamy and seasoned very well. The grits could've been a little thicker for me but they were good. The biscuits were soft and the jelly was really good! I also had a latte which was delicious. I enjoyed it all! Everyone I was with enjoyed everything! The service was decent. It took a bit to get my coffee but she did a good job! The prices are great and there's plenty of parking. I'm a hour away but I would definitely take another trip back there! I highly recommend and I will return! Great breakfast!“

“Visited last night and loved the venue! Beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff. Live music was awesome with Sayer McShane. Patio and inside seating with glass walls that open for an inside outside feel. Highly recommend!!“

“Great Food. Excellent Host.“

“Spent the day exploring downtown Cary and came across this little bistro! Outside dining was great! Amazing food and friendly service! Sophia, my waitress was fantastic! Very friendly and attentive! The cocktail “The Butterfly Effect “ is just as good as it is pretty! The baked Brie and arugula/beet salad was delicious! Great find in Cary for sure!“

“Awesome food, great environment to watch Brazilian sports! Also the people are phenomenal. Met a lifetime friend here!“

“This place has the friendliest staff! I do have to say that this was by far the best banana fosters milkshake that I have ever had. And I love the fact that they have dairy free items as well!! It had a pleasant atmosphere, and the many choices of chocolate bark were great! Loved the toasted coconut flavor!!“

“Visiting from Buffalo NY with my cousin Beth and I must say the food and service was outstanding! I ordered the homemade pasta with a red cream sauce which was to die for. Even the bread is unbelievably delicious! All 4 of us loved the entire evening of delicious food and wonderful service. I wish Buffalo offered such fabulous food and experience!!!“

“Every time I visit the employees couldn’t be more helpful and polite , the ice cream is my families favorite , their ice cream cakes are out of this world delicious 😍“

“This place has the best ice cream. Unfortunately, it does not have the best employees. Every single time I’ve been there in the last two years, my order has been wrong. Stopped by and ordered two sundaes tonight. Both of them had the wrong flavors in them. Like, not even close. We ended up throwing them away. Was going to complain but the kid that made them was running the register so I figured what’s the point. So, great ice cream when you get what you order. I’ve kind of forgotten what that’s like but I’m still recommending them.“

“Love the atmosphere! Great service, great food and drinks 🍻“

“Loved the build your own salad...pleasant atmosphere, staff was friendly...“

“Hazy IPA was amazing, definitely will be back.“

“My wife has been here multiple times but it was my first experience here. My mind was focused on the ribs since that’s the only thing I had ever tasted from the restaurant. We arrived and ordered the buffalo shrimp poppers and crispy chicken and the appetizers were amazing. We both ordered froze’s which were delicious. The main dish we wanted was unavailable but they made the experience worthwhile. I would definitely recommend this place. The service is amazing and we could not have been happier with our meal experience. Special shout out to Freddie, Patrick, Nicky (or Nikki) for helping us during our time there!“

“Love Love LOVE!! my granddaughter and I make this a reoccurring event. We love to enjoy SoBol together. Thank you Jenny!“

“We were in the restaurant on 4/10 and Liz B was our waitress. She was the bubbliest, friendliest waitress and made sure we were taken care of. My husband has high standards for waitresses and as we were leaving he said "she was the best waitress I have had in a long time!" That is a huge comment within itself. Thanks for a great experience Liz B!!“

“Alix was great you need to meet her. She makes the place“

“Nice place to go have a craft beer and watch world cup matches. Really small bar seating area with only 5 or 6 seats but plenty of room to go out on the covered patio with astroturf or plenty of tables inside to sit at. This place doesn't serve food except for potato chips and nuts but they always have a food truck option available in case you get hungry. There is sometimes live music on the weekend and sometimes events but check their Facebook page for updates.“

“I made my first visit to Sophie’s for the 90s R&B paint and sip event and am looking forward to returning! I was immediately welcomed by staff and a very nicely decorated and cozy environment. The bar is beautiful and there are lots of windows. There was a special menu for the event but the variety was great and I was pleasantly surprised by the incredibly flavorful salmon on a bun with a generous helping of delicious fries. The servers were very busy, but maintained great interaction with the customers. Highly recommend!“

“We had a wonderful morning at Java Jive. We got breakfast pastries, coffee, and iced tea and spent a few hours working. It did get a bit noisy with a few groups meeting and talking, but that is not abnormal for coffee shops. It is relatively small, with small tables for 2 people and a single round table that seats up to 4. The coffee and pastry was good, and they have art for sale on the walls.“

“I love the staff and owners at Chatham St. They provide such excellent service and selection to all guests and are always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend them.“

“Extremely friendly staff, happy environment. Food was amazing 🙂‍↕️“

“Jessica at T-Mobile recommended Chuy's to us. Everyone, especially our server, James, was great. We both enjoyed the food and atmosphere as well. Will be there again, soon.“

“Really good bagels but nearly $6 for a bagel with cream cheese! I’ve been 3 times and it’s always consistent— the S&P bagel is so good! Breakfast sandwiches are delicious but over $10! I’m from CA and even in San Francisco you’d be hard pressed to find a bagel that’s $6– maybe a breakfast sandwich but not a bagel with cream cheese. The cream cheese is DELICIOUS! Chewy bagels. The two young women I’ve seen at the register have been unfriendly and somewhat cranky each time I come in.“

“Great food, great customer service, great restaurant!“

“Amazing crepes and totally friendly staff.“

“The absolute best custard ice cream there is!! I highly recommend their sugar free vanilla. It is so extremely tasty that you would never expect it to be sugar free. Also, very friendly customer service. I have to give a shout out to Jenna today at the Garner location. Apparently it was only her second day and she was killing it!! The weather was perfect for an ice cream treat this afternoon and it was quite busy. Jenna was as friendly as could be and she was extremely fast with having to both take orders, take payment and fulfill the orders. Jenna is a rock star and did an excellent job representing Goodberry’s in the very best way.“

“Ordered a drink that came out wrong, explained it so I could order something different as it wasn't tasting right at all. Still get charged for the old drink, infact my drink points I redeemed didn't even get accounted for. Terrible service. They won't remake your drink either, even if it's clearly wrong. don't recommend cary location its only gotten worse.“

“The owner and team members are so personable and awesome! Great neighborhood hang out.“

“I can't sing Chettinad Anjappar Party Catering's praises enough! At the outset, want to sincerely thank you for being so accommodating at such short notice and allowing we to rent your banquet space for last evening.. Special thank you to, Om Prakash, for his immediate responses (and patience!) and the fact that his entire team Ragan, Parasuram, and the rest of the crew are so genuine and caring. The food was absolutely delicious and the service you provide was outstanding, that too with a smile till the end. Thank you Anjappar Restaurant for making my husband’s 40th surprise birthday celebrations a grand success!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate this milestone birthday of his. It has been a pleasure to do business with you and will knock your doors again & again :)!“

“Can I suggest getting shirts made that say “once you go square no others compare” Compliments of my wife we just want free pizza for the idea no royalties needed.“

“family went a few days ago for the very 1st time. Upon entering the hostess sat us at a table. There wasn't much of a crowd.and we did not have to wait. Once seated NOT.1 person came.to.our table to greet us, give water,etc. We waited over 10 mins and STILL no service. We got up and exited. We will never come back to this establishment and will NOT recommend either. Disappointed.“

“I have been a die hard fan of Biryani Maxx for the last 5 years. Their chicken shish kebab is hands down the BEST chicken shish kebab ever. Along with their green chutney? Ughhhh even my husband who does not prefer Indian food couldn’t stop eating it. Grab yourself some garlic naan and dig in. One plate is good for two people for lunch with bread on the side. Staff was really friendly and place was clean. Highly recommend! Their mango lassi is also bombbb.“

“THIS is the reason I don't like going to chain restaurants when I'm out of town! Love finding the little places that the locals go to, even when it is in a small strip mall. The Hawaiian Cowboy hot dog was amazing. Only suggestion would be to maybe try grilled crushed pineapple instead of the chunks, it might be easier to eat. Added a side of waffle fries and was full. Both were great, I'm thinking of maybe 2 dogs and no fries next time. Great prices fast and courteous service. They have indoor and outdoor tables. Specialty flavored bottle drinks or fountain drinks. Can't say enough about this place.“

“Delicious beer & great staff!!“

“I frequent the Chick-fil-A brand all of over the country and this is my children go to place for dinner. Tonight I went to your location in Cary. First of all the attendees outside aren’t as polite as the used to be they were concerned with group conversation not serving the customers. When I pulled up the cashier, said,”What can I get you”, no hey welcome to Chick-fil-A how may I serve you. I was shocked. I asked for two 12 counts of freshly cooked nuggets. I put an emphasis on fresh. I paid, drove to get my receipt and reiterated I wanted them fresh to that attendee. I got to window and I reiterated again to the young lady who had her hair cut very close, she said, “yes sir promise”. This was an entire lie and disappointment. This is the 2nd bad experience with this particular store. I have included the pictures in the email. After speaking to Caroline she has promised to give our family a night on her, but she never asked me my name, my phone number or asked when I was planning to come back. Totally disappointed.“

“Awesome place to go and great selection of beer!“

“My go to for wings and burgers! The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is always a quality tavern feel! Love you guys!“

“Recomendado 100% todo muy rico,☕️🍽🍺🍻“

“We are Brixx regulars, but I was very disappointed in the Italian meatballs. They are highly processed and taste terrible! I used to love the meatballs with polenta so I thought I’d try these. I’m going back to wings or a salad. Very disappointed.“

“I love our Holly springs Starbucks but the new renovation made the inside much smaller and really only a few tables to sit at other than outside. It gets very crowded during the rush hours 😕 so when I can I order ahead on the app. It's always ready when I get there . No waiting just grab and go. They are always polite and friendly there .“

“Loved it all!!!! Can’t wait to return“

“Went a couple of days ago and was very impressed. Everything was hot, fresh and authentic. Loved the fried cauliflower. I will definitely go back and I definitely recommend it to those looking for real Indian cuisine.“

“I really like the new location in Cary,nc off of Tryon. it's a large restaurant with plenty of space. the employees were nice and friendly. the food was good. they have a nice patio for outdoor eating as well.“

“I've only been once, but the bar tender were quick and friendly. It was a little loud indoors for me, but outdoor seating was comfortable enough. Surfwax on tap is a bonus. I'd recommend this place for a couple beers and I plan on going back.“

“We had an absolutely amazing time, and our server was fantastic, constantly joking about me eating my hot food so quickly. She was an absolute doll. We haven’t had authentic Korean food since our trip to South Korea, and we fell in love all over again. We'll definitely be back, and it has become a family favorite.“
