“If I could give y’all a hundred stars I would! We had about 30 people coming together for my birthday. I had been in communication with a different restaurant (Cowfish) for over a month preparing because 30 people at a restaurant is NOT a small feat! They decided to give me a hard time the night of and were not really willing to accommodate us. We decided to find another restaurant. I immediately knew that NO ONE was going to be able to accommodate 30 people on a Saturday Evening but I was wrong! BONEFISH to the rescue! Before we even got across the street the tables were pushed together and prepped with menus water and silverware! Not only that even with a party of our size everything was executed perfectly! The food was delicious, we had a great time, the managers were friendly, and our server was the GREATEST (especially to be new to serving large parties.) I even loved my little art work on my to go box! We love intentionality! Shout out to Rasheive! All in all it was a 10/10 night, with 10/10 people in a 10/10 restaurant! Definitely coming back. ❤️“

“The Depot on First has been open since October 2023 and since then has simply excelled as the only fine dining restaurant in the area. I think much of their success is based on the fact they not only maintain consistency in areas such as attention to detail, exceptional customer service and quality culinary experience, they also continue to evolve and adapt to changing tastes, trends, and customer preferences. I enjoy seeing their ongoing tasting and intimate dining events, of which I will have to attend at some point. Another cornerstone of success for many restaurant's is Authenticity, and this Farm-to-table restaurant continues to prioritize authenticity by sourcing quality ingredients directly from local farms and producers. They don't take any shortcuts when it comes to freshly prepared food to save time which is why I will wait patiently in the elegantly decorated intimate, warm and inviting dining room for my entree upon every visit. No Rush! Just me bring me another perfectly prepared old fashioned. Don't hesitate to step outside of the box and try something new on the menu, I am not a fan of porkchops, but I have become a fan of theirs. This is an environment that will put a smile on your face, Ben and staff are simply exceptional, every visit feels like coming home to dinner. I look forward to spending some time out on the beautiful back patio this spring. Cheers!“

“Great food! Amazing staff at the location on Spring Forest. We sat at the bar and Hope was very attentive, always making sure we had all we needed.“

“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!!!!!!“

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

“I don’t usually write reviews for places that are good, but I absolutely have too for this restaurant. The server was AMAZING, offered us Peruvian chicken soup and corn kernels (I don’t know what it is called) and a cup of water instantly. I honestly did not what I was ordering so I ordered some type of chicken off the lunch menu. Me and my husband took our first bite and immediately melted in the chair IT WAS THAT GOOD. Everything that we ate here, was absolutely perfect and I highly recommend coming here if you want something fast, authentic, and tasty. I’m astonished on how good the service and food were. We also only hate half of our plates and we are going to enjoy it later when we get home :)“

“The gentleman who took my order was very polite! My food tastes great too!“

“😋First visit was 2Jul24, coming back from RDU & served at the bar by Bridget. Today (1Aug24) ALSO just left the airport & sat at the bar - hosted by Kassandra. BOTH visits were INCREDIBLE!! Peel&Eat Shrimp, Raw Oysters, Beer (Happy Hour) USURPASSED!!! We plan on being in the Raleigh area again in 10 days, and ANOTHER visit seems inevitable 🥰.“

“Island seafood company delivers the best, freshest seafood I’ve ever had. That includes their fisherman’s oysters. I’ve never had fresher tasting oysters, even at the best restaurants around like Oyster Rock, which is supposed to be known for good oysters. Nothing compares to the quality of their products. And a shout for that incredible crab dip!“

“We recently went to Brodeto to discover what all of the hype was about. From the minute we walked into the restaurant until the moment we walked out, I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. i honestly believe it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The food is awesome and the staff was spot on in every aspect. I can only hope that everyone has the same experience that I was able to witness.“

“My fiancé and I celebrated our engagement at Oak Steakhouse in May of 2026 and the entire staff made the evening magical. Oak has quickly become a frequent date night spot for us and will be for years to come. The food is always amazing and John our waiter (as well as the entire staff) has always treated us like family.“

“Amazing service, great environment, adorable robot - perfect place to take the family for a.night out or to celebrate special moments.“

“The staff (I worked with Sean) was incredibly professional and helpful and truly helped make my husband’s 40th birthday celebration special. The private room was the perfect size for our group of 25, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything from start to finish was seamless. This is a great spot for a date night or for hosting a celebration! I would definitely recommend it.“

“Food here was amazing!! Service was really fast, and my avocado dosa was super good. My server Edwin was really nice and encouraged us to try new things, would definitely go back again!“

“Visited red lobster again..... and again, no salad! This is second time in 3 months i was told they have no lettuce. Say what??? Food is always very good.... but why no salad?“

“Great Southern style seafood!!!“

“I placed a pick up order and everything was cooked perfectly. Our favorite meal is the salmon, it has such a great flavor. Hats off to the chef. The food was delivered to the car as soon as i pulled into a space. I didn’t even call to say I’m here. It was excellent service. I’m very happy with my experience with Outback in Clayton!!!!“

“had a great time here. food was authentic and delicious!“

“One of the best Restaurants for Asian food. I loved the Thai Red curry, it was creamy and flavorful. Must try it. Ambience was pleasant and Kind staff. Drunken noodles was good. I would give it that dish a 4star. We would love to come again someday.“

“Very nice dining experience for lunch Saturday commencing with the guidance of Chloe as the server. Truly enjoyed the Shanghai flash fried calamari as appetizer. Had to convince myself to not finish the whole plate because the entree was on order. Calamari was the winner, spicy, hot and just the right amount of chewy. Ordered the beet salad which was good- perhaps a better quality of dressing would be my comment. The cheeseburger and fries were good. Cooked the way I liked it. Chloe made it all for a good afternoon.“

“I felt the service was good the employees were nice. I had the fried cat fish with my choice of two sides. Potato salad and fried okra. Fish was fried golden brown. Two baby catfish . Great price under 15. 00 . I will go back and try the fried oyster burger.“

“Drinks bomb. Food bomb. I was upset that they were out of the sushi that they offer. I really wanted to try it. I heard it was very good but I can't include in my review. I can't wait to return. Hopefully everything on the menu will be available for order“

“The food and service was great!“

“Desde que llegas hasta que te vas todo es genial servicio, ambiente comida en fin todo. Gracias la terraza por sus atenciones“

“I usually don't write reviews. However, this place is a shocker to me. The food is always Great! But....What ever you do...do not order your food online!! If you order your food online and have a family emergency, you are not allowed to cancel the order or get a refund! I was told, "come pick up your food before you go to the hospital with your child. We don't like to waste food." Instead of them being empathetic, issuing a refund and giving the food that was prepared to staff member or server. DO NOT ORDER YOUR FOOD IN ADVANCE. Just be prepared!“

“Amazing 38 flavors and fresh food. 👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Absolutely an outstanding experience! The Peddler went out of their way to create a wonderful rehearsal dinner event. From Sarah's planning to Emily's coordinating to Sarah's waitressing to Ernie's grilling - everything was superb - especially the delicious meal. Thank you for making Danny and Kat's evening a special memory!“

“Sea bass, Brussels, potatoes, filet, and dirty martini were fantastic! Will visit again.“

“I love Salt Grass but today we had a bad experience there with our reservation I called and they didn’t put my name on the waitlist talk to a manager she added my name but we still ended up waiting about 2hrs 45 minutes for our table the mangers was really nasty Heather act like she didn’t want to sit us and seem like she was over looking the black and when finally got a table we had a really nice waiter name Becky but our food at one of the tables had to be sent back because it was cold then your other manager had us waiting for about another 35 to 40 minutes to check out because it was a very bad day there“

“food is always great! haven't got anything negative to say.. all of em were great! my kids love their food as well! the chef was nice enough to come over my table and check how the food was.. honestly 1 of the best chinese restaurant I've been to. keep it up guys! specially the quality of your foods!👍“

“I’ve been here/ ordered from here a few times from Grubhub, both times I’ve ordered Grubhub , Grubhub has made a mistake. The restaurant both times, went out of their way to fix it, the lady who was working in the phone last night, February 14th, sealed me as a customer for life for friendly service, as someone who works in the industry as a manager, she gets my 5 star approval, she’s the type of employee I’d like to hire, and the type of customer service that rarely comes along.“

“My favorite place! All you can eat✅“

“Great selection and amazing wings.“

“We had an excellent dinner for our group this evening. We had a large group, we were seated and served very quickly. I would absolutely recommend this for a great dinner and wonderful staff. Scott, Rick and Susan went above and beyond to make sure our experience was wonderful.“

“I had a great experience at Fat Boys Shack in Wake Forest, NC. The food was delicious, and the customer service was a 10/10 from the moment I walked in. My tenders were fried hard just the way I like them without even having to ask, which was a pleasant surprise. The lemonade was also very good and refreshing. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. Shoutout to the manager on duty, Paige Terry, and employee Tiara Spence for providing excellent service and making the visit even better. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We were visiting our family in Raleigh and we tried it for the first time, one of the best dinners we’ve ever had out. Food, service, and atmosphere were all amazing. We will definitely be trying to reserve another dinner here next time we are in town!“

“I recently moved to the neighborhood and decided to give them a try. Everything was delicious! I ordered Shrimp Lo Mein w/onions only and a shrimp egg roll. EVERYTHING was made fresh! The egg roll was nice & crispy and not saturated with oil, the shrimp in the lomein was PLENTIFUL and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Most importantly, the delivery time was only 15mins! I Will definitely be ordering again REAL SOON!“

“Incredible service! Excellent food and delivery was right on time! I placed on online order out of state for an important business lunch and ran into a couple of computer issues on my end (not Which Wich). They were amazingly supportive and helpful throughout the whole day in making sure we got everything we needed. Special kudos to Dimitri and Amanda who were so nice and friendly and helpful and patient! And the biggest shout out to the owner who did everything he could to ensure lunch would be delivered on time and for the constant follow-ups! My boss said everything was perfect and delicious!! If I ever make to it NC, I definitely am going to stop in!!“
