“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.“

“I was having such a bad day and just needed to get out of the house so my friend and I came here with a gift card and did not know what we were in for. We had so much fun with a very lively regular group that shows up and ended up staying there basically the whole evening. It really had that neighborhood vibe and was very welcoming. It instantly got me out of my funk and I feel like it’s going to be like medicine from now on going there. The food and service was also great!“
