“** Long Post Warning** OOHHHHH MYYYYYY GOOOOOODDDDDDD! Outside of Texas I have never had such delicious barbecue. The brisket will have you crying like a baby and the I house made pimento cheese sausage is crazy! The bbq rice is perfect and the pork bbq is ridiculous and flavor packed to the last bite. The whole staff is pretty much Military Veterans and you can see and hear them working together to make sure service is quick and seamless. The best barbecue place in NC hands down. Each year he honors active duty and military veterans with free food for the whole family. Most places that do military meals only give it to the military person and it's usually a lunch size portion of 3-4 options on a limited menu. Not at Prime. You get the same options and portions for free as you would if you paid. I have a family of 6 so imagine what kind of bill we usually have. To have that paid for and get the quality of food we get is mind blowing. Prime has a special table that can be reserved by veterans or active duty that seats 8-10 people and it's awesome. The owner Christopher Prieto is the most genuine and humble man on earth. My wife sat down to eat one day and he seen my Navy Veteran shirt. He asked me if he could sit down and thanked me for my service and just started talking to me and my wife like we knew each other all our lives. I knew I seen his face before and then I realized he was on Food Networks Chopped in the barbecue championship representing NC. My family is a family of faith and so is he. He talked to us about how God gave him his vision and his purpose for the restaurant and how he uses proceeds to help veterans and families in need have meals and basic necessities as his way of showing the love of the Lord. I cannot say enough about this place. My wife and I go every chance we get.“
“Solid BBQ, one star off because I feel they're skimpy on the meat portions. I ordered the 2 meat plate with brisket and ribs. Received 1-1/2 slices of brisket and 2 ribs. The baked beans were terrific and the mac & cheese was very good. Great staff also.“
“This is our second time eating here and this place does not disappoint. Service is fast, food is amazing. The place is clean and has a very comfortable atmosphere. I had the Cuban sandwich and my wife had the rotisserie chicken. Yucca is spot on and so are the sweet plantains. Make sure to try the aji amarillo and don’t forget to get a can of Inca.“
“This is the best place in Raleigh for a healthy snack, treat, or meal. The owners are so personable and the staff is amazing. Much healthier choice and the cost is more comparable than you’ll believe. I think I’m addicted.Kid-friendliness: I watch the staff engage with families.“
“Me and my fiancé are in Raleigh visiting ! Decided to google best tacos in Raleigh and we chose this place . I want to start out by saying the food is top notch and service !!!! If anyone is in Raleigh definitely stop there to eat !!!!!Kid-friendliness: Not only Mexican but kid friendly !!! Chicken tenders and burgers !!!!“
“I came into sodabox today and this worker named Harrison was amazing. He was working and the door broke while there were a lot of cars and people in the store. He was able to fix the door, get everyone’s order and drinks, and make the best drinks I’ve had from sodabox. I wish all fast food employees were like this. Great establishment, I’m definitely going to come back.“
“Came out to a local brewery today, but what drew me here was the food truck. I get to enjoy the beautiful weather outside sitting on picnic benches. The food is always fresh and delicious. We had the pork quesadilla and the BBQ nachos with brisket. The nachos were great. Really flavorful with plenty of meat and cheese. The quesadilla was huge and well worth the money. The service is always great. They are friendly and help you with making choices if you are unsure of what to get. My recommendation: get the brisket on anything. And get the churros and cheesecake flautas.“
“Really great beer in here and I love sitting in the manager's office drinking a fresh, hazy ipa. If you don't like the canned-fish themed food options they don't mind if you get takeout. The Thai House next door is very good. It's a fun, low-key sorta dive and I'm all for it.“
“This was my first visit and I'll admit I had a difficult decision picking from the menu. I got the Street Corn, if I had been there earlier I would have picked a more breakfast oriented item. As you enter you will find a selection of merch to provide memories of your visit. The staff immediately took my order. Be sure if you want a take out order to tell them as it reduces the wait time. The restaurant has an outdoor patio and it was a perfect day to enjoy the fresh air. Inside there is a bar area for drinks. I was impressed that they were checking with the dine-in guests to ensure they were enjoying their experience and to assist with additional needs. The prices were about normal for meals today. The meal was promptly prepared and I enjoyed it.“
“We hired El Rey del Taco for our wedding rehearsal dinner and they were amazing!! The tacos were delicious and all our guests loved them! We had them come to our venue and it made the rehearsal dinner run smoothly so we could all stay in one place. Jorge and Maria were easy to work with and the staff was all very friendly! We highly recommend them!!“
“Slowly becoming a "not so hidden" gem in North Raleigh. Exquisite wine and beer selection. The welcoming atmosphere is the complete package: knowledgeable and attentive bartenders, oodles of TV's... just a generally sociable place. Love the new outdoor seating as well!“
“I wouldve shared a picture of what i ordered but it didnt make it ?. The smoothies are great, I LOVE how they have combos and a very well organized store , menu and online view and presentation of their shop! Everything is categorized in case you are looking to try a certain thing. Customer service overall was great! As a first time customer I felt very comfortable. I love their positive attitude. Positive vibess . I love it . They help with any questions & have various options ! This is the best nutrition i’ve been in all North Carolina ! Literally .“
“Do yourself a favor and make reservations. Brunch wait was as long as an hour and a half without them. Was ok. My fork was bent which is not something I should see at this price point. Service was on the slow side but fine if you want to hang with friends. Took over an hour to order and get food but like I said we were hanging out with friends.“
“This was my first time here and I wasn't disappointed! My book club met here and there was plenty of space for us to mingle. I'm not a craft beer drinker but I did sample their seltzers, which were all good, and I ended up doing a half and half with their limoncello and sour cherry (at the suggestion of the bartender). It was delicious! I'll definitely go back.“
“Extremely trendy food joint. Food was excellent and wait time was low. Prices were high at about $25 per person in our group and we didn’t get any alcohol.The guy at the counter taking orders ignored us for awhile, but everyone else working there was great.Management, please change the faucet in the restroom. Having to wash one hand at a time while holding down the faucet with the other is annoying ?Updated to 5 stars - overall was a great place“
“Wow the food was amazing! I love Nigerian food although I haven't had it in years. I found this spot on Google and skeptically tried it out. The guy promised me I would be back and I definitely will be. The food was tasty and the portion size was worth the money. I had Jolif rice w/ bang bang shrimp, collards, Mac n cheese. Also had some spinach stew everything was AMAZING! I'm stuffed right now.. Definitely worth the try.“
“This is a nice brewery in an unexpected place. We turned down a few roads and arrived at a strip mall where this brewery is located.It is very spacious both indoors and outdoors. They are also kid and dog-friendly. (There were families and dogs spread out in the expansive outdoor area). There was also a food truck parked on the corner.They have a variety of beer to choose from and they are located on the wall. I like how they display the beer. The only downfall was the plastic cups we received. There were half and half of plastic versus glass cups. People would go and get a new beer and come out with a plastic cup and then the next time would be glass. I would prefer glass over plastic. Not sure the reasoning behind not using only glass or only plastic. I'm not sure if we will be back but it would be nice when the weather is nice and you can enjoy the outdoor area.“
“Def. A modern Mexican place. Don't expect authentic Mexican but still good overall.The trio dip was a hit.Surf and turf burrito (with chicken) was good, it's a huge portion!Pork belly tacos were just okay. I would opt for something else. Atmosphere was fun, apps and drinks came out real fast“
Pet Friendly • $$
“The staff is always super friendly, the food is excellent, the beer specials are some of the cheapest in the area, the restaurant itself looks cool and the outside seating area is really nice. I really, really like this place.Vegetarian options: Solid vegetarian selection but most sandwiches can be ordered with vegetarian protein instead of meat.“
“Authentic Mexican food, MUY RICOI loved the Carne Asada tacos. The steak was soft, the flavor was authentic, they're pretty big tacos with plenty of carne.They have tamales and tortas, usually I don't find these at a food truck, but I could be mistaken I don't go to food trucks often.Green tamales were Deliciosos!(casi perfectos) a hint of heat, mildly spicy, juicy, if you've never had tamales you should try these.Red tamales are apparently very spicy.I didn't see any drinks, but the truck is parked at the gas station so it wasn't an issue for us. It's parked right on Capital Blvd, you can't miss it.Parking: Gas station parking lot.“
“I really enjoyed my time here, girlfriend & I sat at the counter for roughly 2 hours chatting. I ordered a dirty chai with oat milk, she grabbed the caramel macchiato- we both enjoyed our drinks. Everyone was super friendly. I watched the employees fulfill orders & created happy customers. I noticed the lucky charm drink was popular along with the bacon egg & cheese everything bagel. It looked amazing but I don't like microwave meat & eggs however it seems to work well for this establishment (almost like Starbucks) This place truly offers a friendly neighborhood feel. I can't wait to visit again.“
“The Barrel Room at Lynwood Brewing Concern was a great place to host our Retirement Party. Bill Reynolds was easy to work with and provided one-stop-shopping for catering and setup/cleanup and allowed us to bring our own desserts for the event. And it was more affordable than many other venues. Thanks to the great Team at the Barrel Room!“
“Our first time here - we’ll return for sure with the grandkids.Great ice cream at great prices. Some fun equipment for kids to play on.Beware - not all GPS systems get you there precisely. Some get close but not quite. Google maps was best“
“Vinsons is one of my husbands & I’d favorite spots to eat! Whether it is a buffalo chicken sandwich or cheese curds we are always impressed. If you’re going to stop by for a meal, Gracie is the waitress to ask for. From the couple opportunities we have been fortunate to have her, she has gone above & beyond to make sure we enjoy our time & offer any recommendations.“
“I just discovered The Farmhouse a few months ago. What a delightful surprise. The food is fresh and delicious. I am particularly fond of the Salmon Smorrebrod. The service is quick, the staff is always friendly. And the prices are reasonable. I’ve only been at lunch, but with the two stories of windows and sunshine The atmosphere is very inviting“
“Amazing night - my first time to Scooter's and was there with Radio Star performing in 100 degree weather! Amanda and the entire staff made sure we had water and checked in frequently. The stage set up was awesome and patrons joined us from the upstairs deck, the covered seating below, and even in the parking lot! We felt the love and can't wait to play there again. After the show we stayed around and the food was so delicious! AMANDA is a rock star and took such great care of us!“
“Loved bingo here. Nice vibes, good music, and good beer. They don’t currently have liquor available!Parking: Parking is a hassle as it’s in the same area as an apartment complex and you can only use the free parking on the first level. I believe there is also street parking available.“
“Very nice place to grab a pint with friends. They turned an old house into a tavern, which gives it a homey feeling. The beer selection is from their brewery as well as some guest taps. As for their beer, they do a nice job with several different styles to choose from. While they did offer a 4 flight, it was limited to a promotion they were having. Would have been nice to be able to flight some of their other taps. However, they do let you have samples of their taps, so that helps. They are pet friendly, inside and out, so that is nice. First time there, but it won't be my last.“
