“Chris is an amazing bartender and makes an amazing cocktail!“

“I love the food. My favorite is the grilled salmon salad. I also Love the 100 grade rating. I didn’t rate it 5 stars because the lighting is always so dim that it’s hard to read the menu. Also, the bathroom is extremely old so always looks dirty. I only saw one bathroom and that was for both men and women. That is unusual for a restaurant.“

“I don’t normally write reviews for restaurants but after visiting Prime, I just had to let others know. First, the restaurant was clean and beautiful inside and out. The staff was friendly and attentive. The line to order was out the door. I guess that should have been my first clue that the service and food was going to be out of this world. They offered cold water to us while we waited in line. This was me and my family’s first time trying this restaurant and they were so patient and answered all our questions on meat and the best options. (Yes, we were those people holding up the line. Sorry!) The young men cutting and preparing the meat were knowledgeable and super nice. I ended up purchasing several items (Brisket, Ribs, House Made Sausage, and Turkey Breast). All I can say is if you are within 100 miles of this place you must make the trip! Your stomach will love you for it!“

“This is my favorite stop when I’m in town. The owners and staff are amazing, the service is great, and the food even better! Having a one of a kind vegetarian menu this big is amazing. I just wish I was in town more often to try all the things! I was in for lunch a few days ago during a rush when they were short-staffed, and the owners stepped in to handle the surge. We had amazing service. Seriously the best all around.“

“It has to be one of my favorite restaurants for brunch in Raleigh.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Tonight was our first time trying Torchy's and it will definitely not be the last. Awesome vegetarian options that packed a ton of flavor. Mike and the entire team were so patient with us as we asked questions and had a sincere interest in ensuring that we were happy with everything. thank you all for an outstanding experience.“

“That was a great last minute surprise. Combo with cheddarwurst, slaw, puppies and baked beans were all fantastic. Thank you. Looking fwd to next time.“

“Fantastic service from everyone. Food was excellent. Go !“

“The bartender is super friendly and will give you some really good recommendations with the beer. I can't review any of their food there, since I haven't ordered any.

Overall, it's a good chill spot with an incredibly selections of beers.“

“11-7-24

I am assuming the "howling" part of the name is because this is an NCSU establishment (Wolfpack).

I have had Howling Cow products at other places throughout Raleigh, and this is the first time at the creamery itself. The grounds are wonderful. There is interior seating, but the star here is the back patio, equipped with rocking chairs and the like, with a large grass area overlooking the cows/farmland. Awesome. There are several creameries throughout NC that have a farmland type view, but the patio does it for me.

I've tried several items from HC. As far as flavors, cherry vanilla and almond butter stand out to me. I had a sundae this go-round, Fireside Brownie Sundae. It had a warm brownie, whipped cream, chocolate chips, and ice cream. They are extremely rich. They offer splits, several cup and cone options, shakes, and pretty much anything ice cream related. Has a bunch of toppings to make whatever concoction you want. I really enjoy the two aforementioned ice cream flavors and like this over everything else sampled. You can also purchase bottled drinks, t-shirts, and other dairy products.

Expect plenty of patrons, a line that usually moved fairly quickly, and ample staff to handle it all. HC does NOT take cash, and I actually love this aspect.

Solid sweet tooth option and an even better atmosphere. We found prices fair and perhaps competitive.“

“SO glad to finally have a good local cidery in the Triangle! They have a good dry and semi-dry selection, and a rotating seasonal special and cider spritzers/cocktails. Tons of outdoor seating with shade in summer and fire pits in winter.“

“A real winner! We stumbled upon this place after looking for somewhere new to eat since Prime BBQ had closed early. I didn't realize it was a food truck with an open patio and Latin music playing at the back of Prime BBQ. Their Latin cuisine is more Puerto Rican/Cuban style. Meaning the tacos are kind of standalone meals (1 is enough for some, 2 should fill up most people).

I had the Lechon taco which was perfectly juicy tender third of a pound of meat with tangy sauce on a tasty tortilla. I initially also split the queso with chorizo with my husband. He had a respectable Cuban sandwich with phenomenal tostones on the side. Everything was well seasoned and delectable.

After a few minutes to digest we went back for our second round of food. I ordered myself another lechon taco to go (to enjoy the next day, and can confirm it reheats wonderfully), in some of the most delicious crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside churros with chocolate drizzle and sweet perfectly balanced dipping sauce. I normally don't like tostones and prefer sweet plantains exclusively, but a taste of my husband's salty, crispy tostones paired with a perfect dipping sauce made me get my own order for the first time of my life!

I'm very picky about my Latin food as a native New Yorker whose best friend is Mexican, but Primo Latin Cuisine is a definite winner!

Kid-friendliness: Cute mini park play gym attached to Prime and accessible even after closing.

Wheelchair accessibility: All ground level with wide spaced benches“

“Delicious coffee with an awesome company mission! Recommended whole heartily!“

“Quick friendly service… And an amazing menu to choose from… I had the tomato, pimento cheese pie and the deviled eggs, and they were both absolutely fantastic… I highly recommend!“

“This place is an absolute gem for those who enjoy late-night dining, offering an impressive variety of taco options. One of my personal favorites is the gym tacos, The vibrant atmosphere and the mouthwatering selection make it a perfect spot for taco lovers looking to indulge any time of night.

Parking: Finding a parking spot during rush hour can be an uphill battle, as the streets are filled with an influx of vehicles and the demand for spaces far exceeds the supply.“

“Great vibe! Mixologist Jefferson skillfully guided our craft cocktail selections. Impressive knowledge, real ingredients. At his recommendation we grabbed a couple of slices (authentic NY pizza) from Oakwood Pizza Box next door, that did not disappoint!“

“The best spot for casual draft beers and an excellent selection of bottles to take home. They also have amazing food trucks and are located in the middle of Raleigh!“

“the best place in Raleigh and the bartender knows how to make drink“

“Top notch brewery with a death theme.“

“I love the owner and employees at Iyla’s (so friendly, always so down to earth)— their Mac’n’cheese is to die for. Their chicken tenders are huge!! And if you want a treat please try the barbecue sundae (collards, Mac, BBQ all stacked up!). I wake up in the middle of the night and crave their mac’n’cheese— you gotta try it!!“

“Great beer and wine! Friendly ambiance.“

“One of my favorite bakeries in Raleigh. They have a good variety of baked items made daily. Yellow Dog is really popular so everything is always freshly baked. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Seating inside is a little limited but they do have outside seating if the weather is good.“

“This place still feels relatively trendy, even though it's been open for years. Our appetizer, the nachos with ahi, was simply amazing. The sushi itself was good. And we were there on a Wednesday, which was half price bottles of wine, a nice surprise, indeed. Our server was friendly, bubbly, and very attentive. Overall, a really good experience!“

“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.“

“Despite coming in on a whim on a Saturday at 430, I was able to get seated quickly and the waiter appeared soon after.

The food was served quickly and while I had the chefs board, so nothing was cooked, the crostini was crisp and the baguette nicely warmed. I was getting a bourbon flight so I appreciated that there were 2 types of cheese, breads and meats along with spicy pickled vegetables, a kicking Dijon mustard and a sweet preserve. So all in all nice variety.

My waiter was attentive without being annoying, and despite sitting indoors it wasn't as loud as I thought it would be. The patio looked nice too I just wanted a chair not a bench.

The whiskey/bourbon menu was extensive featuring American, Scottish, Irish and Japanese options. They also have a section, flight and Wednesday discount for NC distillers.

I definitely go back to try something else, both alcohol and food.“

“food was good..nice staff the decor was more than we expected ..will be coming back“

“Can I give them a 20/10?!?! Absolutely the best nachos I’ve ever had. Super fresh ingredients and tons of delicious toppings. I’m dead. Bury me in these nachos.“

“Great Food, even better staff. So happy for the cuties couple/bartender Jen and Paul heard that they are having a little one this fall🥰“

“Makus Empanadas is truly a hidden gem! From the moment you interact with their team, you know you're in for a top-notch experience. The customer service is unparalleled, especially thanks to the general manager, Barbara. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence made all the difference when setting up the food display for our event. Everything was arranged beautifully, creating an inviting and appetizing presentation that had our guests raving before they even took their first bite.

The empanadas themselves are phenomenal! Each bite bursts with flavor, showcasing the care and quality ingredients that go into every handmade treat. The variety of options ensures there’s something for everyone, whether you're a fan of traditional flavors or looking for something a little more adventurous. The balance of crispy, golden crusts and perfectly seasoned fillings is simply perfection.

Communication with the Makus team was seamless from start to finish. Barbara and her team were responsive, attentive, and made sure every detail was accounted for. They went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and ensure that the food and service exceeded our expectations.

Lastly, the value is incredible. For the quality, taste, and service you receive, Makus Empanadas is worth every penny. It’s rare to find a place that combines exceptional food, outstanding service, and such a professional and friendly approach, but Makus Empanadas does it effortlessly.

Whether you're planning an event or just craving a delicious meal, I cannot recommend Makus Empanadas enough. Barbara and her team will ensure you have a memorable experience that you’ll want to repeat again and again!“

“We visited from Arizona and we were not disappointed, the food was incredible. The atmosphere was warm and inviting the portions were fantastic. Everything was fresh and came out quick and we had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was super friendly. It was an amazing experience and we can’t wait to come back!!!!!!“

“Food was delicious, drinks excelent. Service esa awesome. We'll definitely go back soon!“

“I’m now a Larry’s customer for life. An incorrect order was shipped to me. When I informed them of the mixup, they sent me a return label to ship it back for free. And before I even shipped it back, I received the correct order…with an extra little gift too! :) A responsible company with delicious coffee and excellent customer service. Thank you Larry’s, for making choosing coffee easy!“

“I love this place! I was so happy to find it when looking for a shake and tea place near my work. I stop in often and I love the friendly faces of the staff and the warm greeting. After just a few visits the girls knew my name which was impressive! I love the punch card that allows me to earn money off my order! The place itself is decorated so cute, I love the vibe! Definitely check it out!!“

“Definitely one of my favorite hole in wall bars to go to...... great food and ice cold beer. Love all the live music they offer as well :-)“

“I can't express to you how wonderful Tasty Bev Co is. I would give em 10 stars if I could. The best selection, dogs, and people in town.

Every Wednesday, the owner Johnny whips up a new limited edition "Weiner Wednesday" hot dog recipe. I've had so much fun trying the new recipes and I try to go every week. They even keep my beverage of choice in the keg fridge behind the counter so there's always a cold one when I get there!

This week, I was sadly unable to go to Weenie Wednesday because I've got COVID. Johnny noticed, messaged me, and delivered my usual order - along with a special Weenie Wednesday hot dog - right to my door.

Big big shoutout to Johnny and the crew at Tasty. I'll be a customer for life!“

“Great neighborhood gathering place. Harding working staff that makes all feel welcome. A lot of beer to try and good recommendations from the staff and patrons.“

“Very cool Raleigh vibe tucked away in the revitalized Gateway Plaza!! Bar tenders have been awesome every time and they additionally have Blake's Mango Habenaro cider in the menu which is my favorite. A very comfortable and perfect spot for a drink after work. Seems like lots of young professionals think so too.“

“I wish i would've found out about this place sooner! My friends and I go to sip and paint every single week (and recently went to trivia as well) and always have the best time! Sam is absolutely amazing! The sweetest person ever and extremely helpful! Amazing selection of beer, wine, ciders, etc. As someone who recently moved to the area, Red Line is definitely a must-try and you will not be disappointed!“

“Really enjoyed this intown location. Location was great, vibe was excellent, Service was very good, and the beer was solid. They are one of the few breweries who have a Festbier (lighter), and an Oktoberfest style marzen (darker), in the same lineup during the Traditional Oktoberfest period of late Summer / early Fall. Both were very good.“

“excellent healthy food! friendly staff and cool atmosphere. my new favorite place.“

“Great bourbon selection including vintage whiskey. The craft cocktails are amazing! Beautiful and masculine decor!“

“Excellent beer choices and service!“

“The cookie dough sundaes are the only thing that will get my 97 year old husband Antwon to get out of the house😅. It’s so so amazing and we love sitting outside and enjoying the nice weather while eating our ice cream. We like to go around 4:30pm after we pick up our twin sons Randy and Neville from pre-school for a yummy treat! 10/10 recommend“

“Had the best time at Crank Arm! Fantastic drinks, awesome staff, and such a chill vibe!“

“Great staff and great coffee. The iced carmel latte is my favorite.“

“Great little brewery with a nice outdoor seating area. There is a playground next to it and also a small open grassy area so many people bring their kids to play. They do the usual brewery thing for the area and have different food trucks there so there's a rotating selection of foods to try.“
