“Review:My wife and I share a deep appreciation for hotdogs, so when I stumbled upon this spot on Facebook, we were eager to give it a try. First time experiences mean a lot to us, regardless of the context, so we approached our visit with a mixture of anticipation and curiosity.Upon arrival, it was evident that the owner was in the midst of renovations, which somewhat affected the atmosphere. However, we believe in honesty when it comes to reviews, hence the 3-star rating in this category. Despite the ongoing changes, there was an air of excitement and potential that hinted at what was to come.Now, let’s talk about the food. It was nothing short of exceptional. You could immediately discern that the owner takes great pride in serving top-notch fare. Each bite of the hotdogs was a testament to the care and attention to detail put into crafting them. Moreover, the variety offered was impressive, catering to different dietary preferences and restrictions. My wife, who typically avoids pork and beef, was delighted to find a Turkey Chilli option on the menu, further enhancing our dining experience.Beyond the delectable food, what truly stood out was the owner’s exemplary customer service. From the moment we walked in, he made us feel like old friends, warmly welcoming us and engaging us in friendly conversation. It was evident that he genuinely cared about his customers’ satisfaction, going above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable dining experience.In conclusion, despite the ongoing renovations, our visit to this hotdog spot exceeded our expectations in terms of both food quality and customer service. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and left with the intention of becoming regular patrons. We eagerly anticipate returning to see how the establishment evolves and to indulge in more of their delicious offerings.This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of our experience, highlighting both the strengths and areas for improvement while expressing our genuine enthusiasm for this hidden gem of a hotdog spot.“
“My first time dining for my husband 50th birthday. Our waitress Destinee was amazing. She provided us with a detailed history of the house where the restaurant is operating out of built in 1879. Destinee made wonderful food recommendations and made our celebration a memorable one. The food was delicious from first course lump crab salad to quail. Our main course dishes were beautiful plated with French influences. Also I have to add their chef is one of the best in the area. We can't wait until our next special celebration. Thanks again!“
“Fantastic restaurant, great place to go if you have allergies. It is on the pricier side but the portions are good and the food is delicious. If your a group of vegans and non vegans there are options for everyone! Their menu changes & their desert is incredible!Dietary restrictions: If you are vegan and gluten free you can eat here and not worry!“
“We had the pleasure of dining here for our Wedding Anniversary. The ambience is fantastic. Every single staff member was friendly and knowledgeable, especially our waiter Dakota! He made great recommendations and made us feel so welcome and celebrated! The oysters were amazing! The real star of the show was the Beef Wellington-if it is on the menu, it is a must order! The filet was cooked perfect! Great wine and Bourbon selection! Can't wait to come back!“
“Wow! I was encouraged by the reviews; however Michael made our experience one to remember! He was attentive and genuine. We were celebrating my bday so we started with dessert!! The best benets ever!!! The oysters are fresh and perfectly charred. Gumbo was one for the books. Do not hesitate to eat here!“
“Love this place. Love the fact that they have tables outside. Food is always fresh and superb. Great atmosphere for special celebrations. Servers seems to be well trained, attentat enough but at the same time not overly intrusive.The only disappointment is their desserts. We tried almost all of them, would not recommend any.“
“Nothing beats a passionate chef. Tonight was my first experience, and it's only the beginning! The staff was amazing and did not make me feel rushed. 5-star plus. I've never been to a restaurant where all the mussels were open and full of flavor until Northside Bistro. It was impressive and absolutely delicious, and they also serve some of the best cocktails I've ever had!“
“Fabulous service at the bartop. Roy's recommendations were impeccable and considerate of dietary restrictions. The food was outstanding and wine pairings complemented well. Highly recommend sourcing from the starters and sides to get the most variety, unless you wish to commit to the steak or full entree. Oysters and acorn squash were a great combo. I appreciated the ability to do a GF dessert (elevated ice cream sundae!) to top off the night. Thank you!!“
“While visiting Raleigh, we stopped in to this delightful hot honey chicken eatery. I had the Carolina Reaper. Advice: Get the sauce on the side. It is a spicy devil. My everlasting love for eternity got the classic, which we split, of course. We shared fries with 2 different aioli sauces. We also shared a side of Mac and cheese. A little dry but quite tasty. No drinks or desserts this time, but I'm sure we will be returning.“
“Overall great place to eat, server was friendly and fantastic. One of the few places where I did not have to ask to have my leftovers boxed. She asked and then did it. I appreciate good service. Atmosphere was good, where we were seated was not quite the spot for a business conversation but it worked.“
“the food was awesome, we had ribs, brisket, pulled pork, nachos, wrapped jalapeños, and the best wings ever. the Habenero sauce was not hot, it had just the right heat to it and the Buffalo sauce was amazing. Great service, we never had to flag down our waitress. Great job“
“First time visiting here even though I walk past it all the time. Came here for some brunch and got seated right away outdoors. I got the French toast with a side of fruit and a mimosa as well. The French toast was pretty feeling and I enjoyed it.Our server was nice and attentive as well.“
“Best First Watch in the area. Clean, fast, good customer service. I've come here with co workers during work hours and friends on the weekends and the service is consistent. Food is great and never hurts my belly. The fun drinks are awesome, morning mediation and purple haze are expensive but sooo worth it!Dietary restrictions: Shows all allergy information online, so helpful!!Parking: Lots of parking and freeKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible ramp to enter, level floor, table options, good handicap parking.“
“Love the staff here and the way they take care of their customers. They’re very friendly and there is rarely ever a wait and if there is they make it as short as possible. The food is always amazing and just as good if not better every time I come here.“
“Stopped at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. If you're a vegetarian your options are really only salads or the butternut squash ravioli, but don't let this deter you from coming. The butternut squash ravioli was the best ravioli I've ever had. It was rich and creamy with the perfect mix of mushroom and sweetness from the squash. The marinated avocado salad was delicious as well. I don't usually like blue cheese but it was very mild in this dish. The people I was with ordered the pot pie which they said was great. The service was also great and everyone was extremely friendly. Would 100% recommend.“
“I split a smoked salmon and the Hawaiian French toast with a friend.Both were amazing but the pineapple ? on the French toast could have been cut better - I bit into some core which wasn't pleasant. Other than that, I always Frist Watch in Brier Creek!I picked up my food to take home but the atmosphere looked nice and clean.Parking is okay, it's shared with other businesses so it can be hard to find a close parking spot.“
“Always a great stop. The latest experience, we came in for lunch, the manager was working with some trainees and got my family seated quickly. He noticed the kiddo was grumpy, so unannounced he brought out a nice little treat, which immediately brightened her morning. We couldn't flag him down again but it was such a nice gesture. Service and food was delicious as always.“
“OMG where to start with this GEM of a place!? The service, the food, the people. Everything was on point. The Burger was phenomenal and the pancake was ENORMOUS! The waitresses are so charming and friendly and the food genuinely tastes like it was made and served up with love.“
“Had a great dinner with my cousin and her husband Saturday night. I got the Buffalo Chicken Meatballs with Blue Cheese Cream sauce and had it on a bed of the OG Mac N' Cheese... WOW! So good!!! Everyone enjoyed their meal. Great food and service was excellent!!“
“Financial Analyst-Benjah Raphael is extremely great when it comes to trading both forex and crypto currencies, my initial investment of $2,000 made me a return of $26,500 in a week and few days, well for those who intend in earning and also in need of trading information, I advice you reach out to him he is the best and most reliable trader.“
“Pretty decent spot. Atmosphere is fantastic and if you pay attention the seating system works. The outside gatekeeper aka host is a bit brash but once inside it’s much friendlier. Food is ok. Not a fan of the blue cheese cheddar mix nor the olives. Was expecting a bit more wow factor on the steak but overall not bad.Hours seems to be off. Arrived at 4 that’s when it said opening time was and there were already people boxing Togo food when I got inside.Vegetarian options: Fake meat and veggie optionsDietary restrictions: Portions besides steak on menuParking: Spaces are tight. Beware of dingsKid-friendliness: Lots of kids aroundWheelchair accessibility: Elevator for second floor access“
“Great unique delicious dishes!!! The atmosphere is great, customer service is the best in the city, and the food is top notch. My advise is to get there wayyy before they open if you want to be seated at 5. If not expect a wait, bit it is worth it. They will also serve you drinks and small bites outside while you wait. Will definitely be back!“
“I have only been to PLUS a few times, but every time has been so much fun! Great vibes, great music on the dueling pianos and talented musicians! I even got to try out my singing there once (not my strong point haha). My Belles and I did a dance performance there, around Thanksgiving time last year (Carol of the Belles), and I can not even begin to say enough about the staff, the accomodations, and the absolute joy that filled the room that night. PLUS is a place of happiness and fun, no matter which night of the week!“
“If you are competitive and want a fun adventure with friends, family or co workers. This place is super cool! It has 3 different levels, I highly suggest making reservations unless you have 1-2 hours to wait! We went for a birthday gathering and had so much fun! All the different games you can select from to be competitive is a great addition instead of just going and using it as a driving range!“
“This was our first time at The Fiction Kitchen. I am the vegan in our house, but my husband is not and he was the skeptical one. Unsurprisingly, I loved my meal. Everything about what I had was delicious and flavorful. What was surprising is my husband's reaction - he said it was the best meal out he'd had in a very long time. Thank you for helping to show him that eating vegan doesn't mean you have to sacrifice anything. We both are excited to return soon and try more things on the menu.Dietary restrictions: They are easily able to accommodate gluten allergies as well as nut allergies. The menu is clearly marked and the staff is knowledgeable.“
“Came in on a BUSY Sunday for a pick up order, decided I really wanted a milkshake, last minute. Brianna greeted us with a warm welcome and made my milkshake right away!!10 thumbs up to Brianna for making the BEST peanut butter oreo milkshake in record time!!!“
“I absolutely love their pretzels, but this is also a great place for someone looking to hang out with friends and trying something new to drink, something familiar, or looking for a challenge over time to get your plate on the wall. Good food selection.“
“Came for the first time with a friend and while the food was good, the service we got from Samantha was amazing! She was incredibly patient, helpful, and overall seemed to love what she does! We will be back because of the is experience, thank you Samantha!“
“We were there last night with our soccer team so it was around 40 people. They sat us in the tent area and Christian was our server/bartender. He did AMAZING!!!!!!! We were all shocked how he was so efficient and fast with serving that many people. He made great drinks too!!!“
“I highly recommend Margaux's Restaurant to anyone wanting a great meal at moderate cost. The interior design and scenery inside Margaux's is unique and eclectic with lots of art that keeps you interested, commenting, and looking around throughout the meal. The service was excellent and our waitress knew all of the details about the menu, but she wasn't annoying about it. The waitress also had a great ratio of checking on us versus letting us eat/enjoy ourselves. The food was incredible, we ordered the Brussels sprouts, spinach salad, and Thai coconut soup, which were all really tasty and had perfect portion sizes. For the main course, we ordered the Yellowfin Tuna and Asado Chicken; both were large portions, delivered as ordered, and tasted great. I'd love to have the tuna again, it was cooked to perfection. I would definitely return to Margaux's as the menu changes daily/weekly. The total cost for drinks/food/tip was very reasonable and valued appropriately when compared to the food quality the restaurant delivered.“
“Taylor Casper has been trying to keep my old heating andac unit running for the last couple of years and has done a great job. However. This year the unit was on its last legs. I had no choice but to replace the heating/account unit. Taylor came back out and gave me a great price for the replacement unit. Thank you Taylor. Hopefully this will last another 15 years .“
“Had the best meal ever, again! I'm never disappointed when I eat at J Alexanders. The wait was an hour, so we sat at the bar. Emily took care of us with another handsome (African-American) man (wish I would have gotten his name). They were both so attentive and detail oriented. I can't say enough about my favorites offerings... ThaiKai Salad, Steak and Frites (perfect temperature) and the Carrot Cake. The service and atmosphere are wonderful too but will take second place to the fabulous food.“
“Came here for a party, had the place rented out. Service was awesome, the bartender was slinging cocktails just as fast as we could drink em. They made signature cocktails for the party, had personalized graphics on the tvs for the party and everyone mingled and played games and had cake. It was a blast. I'd come here even just to do a casual living room hangout with friends with the added bonus of a bartender. If you want to play a game you don't own and get some friends together, they own it. Get em together here and have some fun.“
“I went here to watch the game and have some food with friends tonight, it was a great time. Melody, our waitress, was attentive and on top of things even though it was packed and she was clearly really busy. We've been a few times and she's definitely our favorite - ask for her when you come!“
“Really really enjoyed the visit! Old World decor and charm, great service, Thanks Kayla, wonderful selection of authentic Tapas, I need to go back, there's so much more unexplored to try! Maybe just seafood this time. There are so many combinations. Keep up the great work!“
“Hadn't been to YH in a long while. Was a busy Sunday afternoon so had to wait a while and waited a bit for our waitress to come but the service was great once it started and the food was very good. I had the Korean BBQ Cheesesteak...didn't eat a lot of the bread, just the toasted part.. It was delicious...as was the Cocacola chocolate dessert! I will definitely go back for those items!Parking: There are a few parking spaces right next to the restaurant but those can fill up quickly. There is a parking deck directly across from the restaurant and a couple others available of you want to enjoy a nice little walk.“
“Went for brunch and was so inspired by the banana bread french toast, I went home and made my own. It was a bit dry for my taste, would've preferred they soaked the bread longer to make it a softer more pleasant chew. Also had the steak and eggs. Steak was too chewey. A thin ribeye works better for steak and eggs. Overall satisfied and would like to try more of the money, but I wasn't blown away by anything. The vibe is great, and I enjoyed the different moods different seating areas offered.“
“It is a staple in Raleigh! Their wedge salad is second to none. Consistently good supplementing their menu with great specials. Always save for dessert with a variety of specialty cakes. Reservations advised or you may have to wait. Parking around neighborhood can be challenging. Highly “
“We ate here for our anniversary and really enjoyed it! We made reservations for 2 at the bar because all the table reservations before 9 pm were full, but when we arrived, a table was open and offered to us, which was really nice! (LIkely, we also would have been happy at the bar, but I'm pregnant, so the comfy booth seat was welcome.) The service was superlative, both from our attentive server and others who jumped in any time they walked by and saw something that could be done. The non-alcoholic cocktail was fantastic! Both food and drink menus are curated rather than extensive. We are parents of a small child who rarely get out to restaurants, so when we do go, we love to taste a variety of options on the menu. Your ordering style may vary. For starters, we ordered the yellowfin crudo (a standout and possibly the best dish from my perspective) and crispy porcelet belly (very tasty, although the skin was more tough and chewy than crispy). The manchego-herb biscuits were amazing in taste and texture, like, how do they do that? For entrees, we had the lamb loin and bavette steak. My lamb was nice, but the flavor of the steak dish (my husband's) was unreal. (Normally, I would have ordered the seafood, but the only option was swordfish, and I had already used up my weekly serving of potentially-high-in-mercury seafood with the yellowfin crudo, worth it!) After sharing two appetizers, biscuits, and an entree each, we were really full. However, I had been anticipating the triple cheesecake with rhubarb, so we got a portion to go. It was unusual - very strong on the savory cheese flavor in the cake - but we both really liked it. (Would I have liked more rhubarb? Yes, but I love rhubarb, and not everyone agrees. Rhubarb skeptics, this is a safe dish for you.) Two starters, two entrees, a side, two drinks each, and one dessert put our total just north of $200. Not a huge consideration for us, but it's a small-ish space with dark decor and modern, minimal lighting. I've spoken with others who remembered it as a bit cramped. The music is... not quiet... with prominent bass, but we sat next to each other and were able to talk. We definitely plan to go back. Edited to add: We were also really impressed by the short ticket times! Our food came out very promptly, and we finished three courses and had our take-out dessert ready to go in just over an hour. We also didn't feel rushed, as though we could have lingered without any pressure from the server to free up the table. As folks who no longer get out much, that's a huge plus.“
“!!!Validate parking or get a ticket!!!.Burger was good, the meat was quality and ingredients actually had taste..Nachos were ALOT of food for the price and also good.. Chicken on the chicken sandwich was dry and bland by itself. My only complaint.Atmosphere was great, but make sure you validate your parking!“
“If you want to meet some of the sweetest, loveliest and down right friendly people, I'd say take a trip here and you won't be let down. There is Gabby, Elaina and Jordan who are some of the nicest ladies I have probably ever had the pleasure of being a customer to. Drinks are always on point and the food is great, too. The service and staff here are what really makes it attractive...go give them some attention as they sure do deserve it!!!“
“SERVICE/ATMOSPHERE:This place was lovely. All the staff were so sweet and helpful. Definitely a gem in downtown, great for a date or an intimate catch up with an old friend.FOOD:We started with the pimento cheese, local jam, and fig tostadas, which were INCREDIBLE!! A must have if you visit here.I got the portobello mushroom and avocado grilled cheese with tomato soup, which was okay. The cheese and avocado together were a bit heavy. My partner got the burger, which he said was awesome! He said the hand cut fries were very good.OVERALL:We had a lovely time. Shoutout to our server Dvir, impeccable vibes from him.“
“One of the few places that serve chilaquiles in the area. Choice of sauces with it too! Great service with really good variety of dishes. Tamales on Sundays. Will definitely be back to try the fried fish options. Nothing fancy with the decor but you’ll enjoy the food!“
“Great food and atmosphere especially for special occasions like birthdays! The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly! It is quite expensive so it's a place you can only go every once in a while. The food was great and I've eaten at many nice restaurants.“
“What a fantastic local diner run by the nicest people you'll ever meet.We came in for a late brunch about an hour and a half before closing and it was pretty quiet so service was quick. We seated ourselves and had our drink orders taken immediately and placed our orders which took maybe 10-15 minutes to come out, very fast.We had the country fried steak, egg, and cheese sandwich and the BLT with fries and everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. It easily beats out anything I ever had from Denny's or IHOP. Since it's right in our neighbourhood, we'll definitely be back often!“
“Love this place. It's so cute and fun to be in. The upstairs is a little gift shop with quite a large selection of items. And then the food/bar is located downstairs. The service is quick, food came out hot and fresh and everyone was very friendly.“
“Saw this place out of the corner of my eye today after having never noticed it over the years (it's a little tucked away). Stopped in on a whim because I like checking out local spots. The place is cozy and casual, with friendly staff and the chili and grilled cheese combo was quite good. I'll be back for the ribs sometime soon.“
“This place was in walking distance of our hotel and had a variety of food in the menu. I got the meatloaf and though I don't like mushrooms the gravy was really really good so I just picked around them. You get a decent amount of food and the potatoes were delicious. I also got a Moscow mule and it was made perfectly. My server was very attentive and made sure to also give me time to enjoy my meal. Seating is decent in the inside and they also have outdoor seating.“
“We love Wakefield tavern! The food is always delicious, the service is consistently great, and the atmosphere is always upbeat. We bring our kids so it's definitely family friendly. My reason for only 4 stars is that since we are a larger family, we are often put in the huge corner booth that has missing filling in the cushions, so you are sinking into the wooden base and it's really not comfortable.“
“I have enjoyed eating here every time I come to Raleigh during daytime hours. Their food items offer a wide variety of food choices and the amazing taste makes you question if your actually eating their healthy food selections. I also love the Juice Bar menu. I got the "Purple Haze" with vitamin shot and it is so yummy!“
