“I arrived here at 7:18pm on a Friday night with a friend to get some food and a drink. We sat at a high top by the entrance. It wasn’t busy at all. About a minute after sitting, the waitress came over to introduce herself and bring waters.

Around 7:30pm, we ordered chips and queso, drinks, from the bartender who came over to serve us. Our drinks arrived 7:35pm and they were tasty.

I ordered our food at 7:36pm and it came at 8pm. I got garlic parm wings and a side of fries. My friend got a quesadilla. The fries are LARGE and shareable! All of the food was tasty and we enjoyed it greatly.

No complaints at all, really. Waiter was attentive and prompt. I would definitely return.“

“Out of towners in Raleigh for a concert... Chow was amazing! Our server was so nice. Service was fast, and the margherita pizza was one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life. ���“

“Great food. Friendly staff.

Note: this is a "GO" location, meaning they focus on take-out. There are seats and chairs, but it's mostly pick up and go.

Deducted one star because once they put the wrong sauce on one set of wings. However, I went back and they re-made the order at no charge, so full stars for Service.“
