And Immediately upon entry, the franchise owner Court greeted us with positive energy! Food was of course super fresh! And the bathroom was nice and clean, which is a super plus! We appreciate your business Court, keep up the great work! Thank you! -AP“

“We have eaten at The Mill in Old Raleigh a couple of times and have never been disappointed. The daily fish specials are amazing - well balanced flavors and unique ingredients w a lovely presentation. My wife had the steak frites most recently and loved it!! The wait staff is very attentive, Madison was terrific! The entire evening was a pleasure from the starters through dessert. Do not hesitate to give The Mill a try. You will not be disappointed.“

“Surprisingly delicious! I have ate here a few times. The cali-burger is my first burger that I try here. 1 of the best burgers I’ve had. It’s located near NCSU and if you can get by the traffic, it’s a nice find for a fresh delicious burger. There’s plenty of other order selections to choose from, so try it out 😎“

“Great great great great great. ✊“

“Stopped in with my Bestie for a small meal before leaving Raleigh. Looked over the menu, some great food choices. We choose to share the Sosta salad. Sat outside. Cute outside with plenty of space to eat and enjoy. A nice atmosphere. The restaurant gave us a nice serving of salad with a delicious roll. Every thing so fresh and delicious! We will definitely be back. Appears to be a nice family running this business , I love to support local businesses. I loved everything about this cafe.“

“I am so glad this place opened in the subdivision! great food! great staff!“

“First time eating here and the food was great! Will definitely go back.“

“Jacob the manager saw i didnt like something on my plate i just wanted to try it and he was attentive and helped me out with a new bowl and for that i appreciated that so much becuase at the end of the day he didnt have too and just overall a very respectful and caring person“

“I love it!! Everything super delicious and fresh!“

“I recently went there with my sister on Friday 05/22/2026 and Hanna was our server and she did a phenomenal job. We felt welcomed and cared for plus she was very attentive and anticipated our needs like bringing us refills without us asking her and she consistently checked in on us to make sure everything was to our liking. We were very satisfied with the service we received and would love to come back.“

“I lived in northern New Jersey for 65 years. New Jersey had an abundance of great hot dog and Texas wiener joints. The old Callahan’s and Hiram’s in Fort Lee, Jonny & Hanges in Paterson, the Hot Grill, Goffle Grill and more. I moved down to Raleigh 5 1/2 years ago and it is impossible to get a great wiener with mustard, onions and chilli. Very disappointing. I found Steve’s when I had my car serviced. I must say the all-the-way hot dogs were the closest to my beloved New Jersey weiners. Fries were hot and crispy and the lemonade delicious. Not the most fancy place but the service is friendly and fast. I’ll be back for more.“

“yummm. need one in Pennsylvania!!!“

“Stopped in for a quick bite.
Google told me it was a good choice for a healthy option.
The spinach wrap did the trick.
A great staff,
Nice decor,
Good food, sweet & unsweet
Ticked all my boxes.
Definitely a great downtown lunch spot.“

“The service and food is always superb. The collard greens were very flavorful.“

“I have tried many Mexican restaurants and none compare to the flavor that THIS specific place produces. We haven't been to other places of its kind after discovering them. It's flavorful everytime! My husband gets the fried chimichangas with steak, kids and I get Texan fajitas and acp. Their huevos rancheros has the most exquisite sauce. There are 2 El Salsas: in Wendell and off Mitchell mill and forestville rd, the forestville location never misses! Very affordable. 10/10 recommend
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I apologize for my extended family event. You guys were completely unphased, and did a great job! Great food as per usual.

Interesting location too, ground floor, a little below grade, part of a mixed use building, residential above. Very cozy vibes vs. a stand alone.“

“The Pad Thai and the Dan Dan Noodles are delicious! The service is always very fast. Nice atmosphere where music playing overhead. I definitely recommend.“

“Delicious Thai cuisine and very friendly serving staff! A Favorite!“

“Muy deliciosos, excelente lugar 😋“

“We have been going to Dominic's for years! The pizza is delicious. Everything else is just as good. The staff rocks and the location is beautiful around the pond. Live music on weekends and always a smile and great service inside of Dominics. Give it a try! You'll LOVE it!“

“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!“

“We ate here during the Fall Open House event and they were overrun with customers and orders. They were staffed appropriately and everyone was working really hard to get the food out. The wait for our order was about 10 minutes which I considered a miracle with as busy as everything was. Our order was perfect, the lady bagged everything quickly and I think they did a wonderful job.“

“I went here and the food was good. Nothing that will blow your mind, but the food is fresh and is tasty. I got the Meze Platter, which was a nice assortment of different appetizers. The Tzatziki sauce and hummus are very good. Kind of works with anything on your plate. I got the Greek Bowl with chicken kebab. I enjoyed the rice and chicken combo. Still good and the kebab was alright. Lastly I got the Yeero Platter with Lamb. So good. I honestly wished there was a bit more lamb. But it was still good. Just know this is not a sit in restaurant, it’s apart of a food court. But I recommend it to anybody that needs some fast food and wants Greek.“

“Best Salad EVER! Wish they had one closer to me. 🥗. I would eat there every day! Please bring Crisp to Kinston.“

“Absolutely highly recommend. Even for some late night carbs. The staff are extremely kind, and offer fantastic recommendations. I had the baked ziti but with alfredo sauce, and the sauce flavor is absolutely amazing. Not bland at all. I highly recommend this place whether it's lunch, dinner, or even an 11pm date night. They deserve much more business! The sauce is thin and a little runny, but dip your bread sticks in it for a great dipping sauce. The flavor alone captivates it.“

“I went there today and sat in the drive thru for a while because it was right at lunch time. I was on my lunch break. When I got to the window I realized I forgot my wallet. Instead of saying sorry we can’t give you this, the lady at the window was so nice and said she would talk to the manager. She came back, handed me the food, and said merry Christmas! I didn’t mention I’m 3 months pregnant but I really appreciate what they did!!“

“Chicken salad is delicious!!“

“I visited this CFA today and when leaving, my car wouldn’t crank. Several employees came to my rescue, finding jumper cables and blocking off the lane beside of me so an employee could pull beside me to hook up the cables. They made several attempts to get it cranked. One manager even offered me a milkshake as it was extremely hot outside! The customer service at this location is truly “second to none”! THANK YOU for your kindness and outstanding customer service.“

“Some of THE best pizza I've ever had! We drive an hour just to come eat this pizza. The cheese is my absolute favorite but the chicken bacon ranch is awesome too!! Can't go wrong with any choice!“

“We tried the breakfast bowl. It was delicious.“

“Food and service is always good“

“My wife and kids visited on Father’s Day and Kara was our waitress. She’s arguably one of the best in the restaurant industry! She was courteous. She was thorough. She was prompt. She was consistent and persistent on making sure we had and needed everything!

Be careful Olive Garden. Someone may try and recruit her from you!“

“They serve a delicious BLT and a wide variety of other sandwiches! Perfect spot for a lunch break with outstanding service and a welcoming atmosphere. The owner is incredibly hospitable and really cares about his customers! I would highly recommend!“

“Ordered online on our way into Raleigh from out of state. Arrived and staff was very sweet. They informed us they were out of the type of noodle in one of our bowls and provided us with the other types of noodles to use instead. We arrived 15 to close so that’s completely understandable. The staff was quick and very kind. We got into our hotel and both agreed this was the best quality we’ve had from noodles & company thus far! Everything tasted amazing and our bowls were full with correct ingredients! I’ve often had issues with noodles being over cooked at many places but this location was perfect!“

“Tuesday evening my husband and I went to Jason's Deli for dinner. Instead of my usual Muffalatta I tried a turkey wrap and a cup of chili. The wrap was very good but, the chili was the BEST that I have ever had !!! Next time no sandwich, just a bowl of that AMAZING chili. Better than my homemade.“

“Met Jess today! What a kind friendly soul! Very willing to accommodate extra requests. Give her a raise! The food was fresh made and delicious! Tucked away and hidden, I almost don't want to review because I don't want share a secret great spot for breakfast and lunch, but here I am! Great job David Leach and Holly Hopkins. Keep doing this great fresh food! Thanks!“

“Muy deliciosos, excelente lugar 😋“

“Their Pot Stickers are very Good.“

“Muy deliciosos, excelente lugar 😋“

“Highly recommend! They actually load it up with toppings!“

“So let me say when I went into Olive Garden I walked in with an attitude determined my food wouldn’t be correct. But I came and walked into Andrew one of the managers he was like a shining light my whole mood changed he was so welcoming and concerned even before I came to the register. His demeanor immediately changed my mood his kindness and concerned was refreshing, then Jennifer another manger stepped up and I was like this can’t be real because they were so genuine and receptive. Andrew fixed my food personally and Jennifer discussed my concerns prior to my entrance, they were beyond reproach welcoming and caring. While I waited Shanti even though I had a to go order was very engaging to ensure that my needs were met while waiting, then Brandy I believe she’s a regional manager her kindness exuberated and she promoted her staff. I promise if you follow me on google you will know if something isn’t right I will say something. Kudos to this Olive Garden because you hired really fine individuals to work this establishment and to Andrew blessing to you in everything you do!!!!“
