“We’ve been to Vino & Vine a handful of times now and every single time we walk out extremely pleased! Melissa is super attentive and very knowledgeable. Her selection of wine is incredible and has options for every palette. She even has cute stands for shopping and all her products are affordable & great quality which makes for the perfect gift baskets. If you are thinking of dropping in please do! You won’t regret! It’s our favorite spot in town :)”

“Love this bakery and ice cream shop! EVERYTHING is delicious...the cookies, the pound cake, the milkshakes, the ice cream, the hot dogs....EVERYTHING!! The owner and staff are always happy and so friendly. I highly recommend this little hometown gem!”

“Amazing atmosphere! Will be here again.”

“I discovered the difference between American style Mexican and actual authentic Mexican five years ago in South Georgia. I have been looking for a good authentic Taqueria near my home for a very long time. This is definitely it - very impressed.”

“Great people, fast service and was a great hit to our LGAHA Harvest show. Best Mac and cheese! Highly recommend”

“This is literally my 2nd time ever eating there this evening, live off Cedar Creek everyone always say its good food. 1st time was not impressed, the 2nd time was not that great either. Long story short ordered my kids both Cheeseburger with only Ketchup each and I ordered Small Chicken n Dumplings with 2 sides and corn muffin. Total was $35 and some change. Tired and ready get home after basketball in Durham, so did not pay no attention was not offered receipt did not even sign one nor did I ask for one. So just went go look at my charges on my card and I was charged $44 and some change. So apparently I must got got! Looks like a lot young ppl working there, either she accidentally overcharged me or purposely did maybe get some money tip which I always tip cash not on card. So I will never go here again. But noticed a lot of elderly there this evening just wondering how many of them are overcharged??? So please share with them”

“This place has the best burgers. The bacon jam is amazing and the staff is so nice.”

“First things first, the biggest complaint seems to be the ambiance or the lack thereof. I agree that it is not a place for a great dine-in experience. That aside, the food that I tasted so far was perfect without exception. The owners are very friendly as long as customers treat them fairly. I witnessed an exchange with a customer who was hostile from the beginning and seemingly planned to get a free meal before even walking in. Bottom line: 5 stars for food and service, 3 stars for ambience. I am sure the dining area will improve as business recovers.”

“I just want to give a HUGE shout out to Roma Pizza ? in Franklinton! Harold the manager was fantastic to talk with he was very sweet, helpful and just all around a good guy! I would highly recommend going to them for all your Pizza needs!! ❤️”

“I have to admit I stopped going to this location years ago as the service was minus stars as was the cleanliness of the store. I started going back about a month or so ago and can not say enough on how clean the store is and just how friendly the staff has been. William, the manager, is 100% top notch!! Thanks for being AWESOME!! 🌟 🌟”

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, & friendly staff. We enjoy trying new items each time we go- some of our favorites so far are the chicken biryani, fish curry, mango chicken curry, & garlic “naan”. So happy to have this gem in Wake Forest!”

“This was our 3rd time here for dinner. The first time , 2 years go was exceptional.the food, atmosphere, and service were amazing. Last year we went and there were flies swarming our table. We ordered the osso bucco which is typically veal shank. This came as 2 tiny little pork ankles not veal, and was disappointing in taste. This year, we decided to go at Christmas to see the decorations. We ordered the burrata, and they brought us the shrimp appetizer. We sent it back and the server came back with it & said that we ordered it. Which we did not, instead of a confrontation, we kept it. It was delicious, but not what we ordered. The primo dish , we ordered the ravioli to share, it was very good. For or entree, we ordered the veal chop. It was chewy as if undercooked, soggy, as if it layed in its breadcrumb coating too long. For a $47.00 vealchop, it was a complete disappointment in taste and texture .as we went there specifically for the veal chop. After 3xs, the meals got worse instead of better. Our waiter was excellent, it’s too bad., but the food has gone downhill. We are Italian and are always looking for a great Italian meal. This was not!”

“coffee shop, not much food except for muffins and some pastries but it has a great atmosphere and we go back one/twice per week. PS: had a good expresso there which I usually find acidy and tasteless in most coffee shops”

“Bodega is the best restaurant anywhere Chef Serge is a gift to our area. His food is equal to Michelin starred chefs food I have enjoyed Great casual and fun atmosphere. Great value Fun!!!”

“On 7/6/2024 Saturday at approximately 11:15 p.m. I took my guest to dinner at Carolina Ale House located at 11685 Northpark Drive, Wake Forest, North Carolina 27587. I went to the restroom and saw the restroom was filthy with water all over the floor and sinks, along with toilet tissue on the floor in the stalls. When I finished using the restroom I reported the filth issue and requested to speak to the manager. The manager was a female of dark color, standing about 5 ft. 5 in. tall, came while I sat with my guest. I told the manager the restroom was atrocious with water all over the floor, which splashed on the back of my leg walking to the stall, and that it was a lawsuit waiting to happen. (Slip and fall hazard) The manager responded saying " I went in the restroom, it was fine, and no water got on me", making the issue about herself instead of the public safety. I said "no establishment would ever consider those conditions acceptable, especially with that amount of water on the floor". The manager rolled her eyes and said "well it's fine, it's been cleaned up". My guest then went to use the restroom and returned asking the manager "how is it that you consider that restroom okay, especially when there is a lady in there using a squeegee for all of that water on the floor?". Displaying annoyance, the manager stated "we don't have time to serve people and clean". My guest and I then asked the manager to understand that due to the stereotypes about African Americans in management, she should have a higher standard for herself and her establishment. But as an excuse to dismiss the complaint, the manager began yelling at my guest stating that the race card was being used, and then she walked away. I asked the manager her name and she said "you don't need to know my name". I stated to the female bartender that I'd stop coming to this restaurant because twice I had an issue with my salmon, a bug in my food, and that I'd only came tonight to get my guest something to eat, since it was the only place open after 11:00 p.m. close to where I lived. And as I spoke to the female bartender, I saw that manager at the far right of the bar angrily looking at my guest and I as she spoke to several of her coworkers. Then as me and my guest discussed our menu options, the male bartender came and told us the manager told him to refuse our meal and tell us to leave. After my guest and I left, I'd returned to retrieve my phone charger plugged up at the bar and to use the restroom, and saw that the restroom was still in the deplorable condition that I'd reported earlier. I decided to take pictures and a video recording of the restroom. Then shortly after, that female manager came into the restroom, two large security men with her, and told me that I had to leave. Good customer service practices generally encourage transparency and accountability, which includes providing the manager's name if asked. Refusing to give a name might reflect poorly on the establishment's commitment to customer service and might be seen as unprofessional. This manager's lack of concern, low standard and dismissive attitude toward myself, my guest, and public safety in the Carolina Ale House restaurant, completely shows that she is not management material. Unfortunately, it also reflects poorly on the establishments' commitment to customer service and taints the Moshakos family name, owner of the LM Restaurants, Inc. Furthermore, due to that ordeal, I will not recommend any person to Carolina Ale House.”

“I ordered a custom chocolate 3 layer cake with chocolate buttercream icing that truly was to die for! It was sinfully delicious. It beats Whole Foods vegan cake that was entirely too sweet and heavy. Yours was very flavorful, light, perfect. It was just for 3 of us, my son's 41st birthday, but he got to take half the cake home LOL! I will be ordering my own BD cake this winter for sure. For those that are not vegan or vegetarian , doesn't matter...this bakery beats them all!”

“This was the second time that we have had Adriano’s. Outstanding food and service. Keep it up”

“Scoops on main is always running great specials and fun events.I love all their ice cream flavors. They are super friendly, have a clean restaurant and they even serve some fun food options like hot dogs and corn dog nuggets. We love to bring our pups when it is a nice day outside so they can enjoy Scoops on main as well at their convenient outdoor seating area.”

“Great coffee and excellent customer service!!!”

“Delicious cupcakes including gluten free options!”

“Such a cute spot to stop for tea! I love their ambiance. Feels like you are in a Hallmark movie or Stars Hollow (for Gilmore Girls fans) the best way”

“Since moving to Wake Forest a month ago I've been trying to support locally owned places to eat and shop rather then going with the big chains. Leave Starbucks behind and support an awesome local coffee shop.

Amazing coffee from growers that are fairly compensated for their work. Coffee that is roasted locally and correctly by coffee roasting experts. By far this is the best coffee I've found in the area. You can take the experience home by buying a bag of beans. This coffee is not the cheapest but the quality is easily tasted and worth every penny.

The atmosphere is awesome and great for meeting with friends or working away from the office. No overpowering music or loud noises here! Just a nice selection of music that compliments that atmosphere and not overpowers it.

The food is limited as the focus is on the coffee here. However they have small selection of muffins and filled croissants choose from.

The staff is always pleasant and ready to help but don't try to upsell you on some sugary specialty drink - they all know how to make a great cup of black coffee via their pour over if that's what you like (drip is available as well and always well brewed).

Black and White has become my new third place and office away from the office.”

“Great ice cream! Just wish there is a menu to look at for current flavors before you actually get there.”

“😎Had a great time. Speak easy environment. Great alcohol choices. It was fun to experiment. Went with my family, and they supplied boardgames while we drank and socialized. Comfy seating. Stylish interior. Small, comfy place. The 1911 canned drinks were all amazing and we also tried caramel apple. So smooth, so good. Friendly staff. - Sincerely, Sawgrass Acres”
