Favorite hangout in Raleigh, hands down. Food and drinks are delicious, service is efficient, and I appreciate that they rotate the frozen drinks every once in a while. This place is more expensive than other places, so we always have to be cautious of how much we order. Nevertheless, it’s worth it!

You have to try their smashburger (the green chili one is my favorite). Great place to take friends visiting from out of town. A little something for everyone, a casual vibe, and lots of outdoor seating out back on a nice day.

Pandemonium. Forgettable food. Orders comings out 15 - 20 minutes apart. Food mixed up and left off after ordering on app.

Stopped coming here ever since I stopped drinking, but returned recently just for food. So glad I did. Everything was incredibly delicious. The burger and wings were perfect. Love the atmosphere also, super laid back.

Highly recommend the smash burgers and tacos! And the food and drink specials are always fresh and innovative. Love the QR code order and pay system—we can order and go as we please. Parking can be tight during the busy times.

had the veggie burger and side salad. the veggie burger fell apart and was really soft - it didn’t keep its shape. the flavor was okay but nothing impressive. i would NOT recommend getting the side salad. they charge you a dollar more for a literal bowl of greens. no toppings AT ALL on it (e.g. no croutons, onions, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, or cucumbers etc) and it (maybe) had olive oil for the dressing (it just seemed a little wet but there wasn’t any flavor i could notice so i’m giving the benefit of the doubt here). it was perhaps the most depressing salad i’ve ever seen. if you want a healthier option go for the fruit, it looked like a decent fruit bowl.

Really great food! I got the tomato sandwich and absolutely loved it! The truffle tots were also pretty good. The place can be quite crowded, and there were families with kids, so I needed to have my ear plugs in. I don't love ordering online and wish that they had normal table service, but it's not a huge deal.

I always love going here. Food is always fresh, comes out quickly, and is delicious! There's no servers, just runners, and it's all very fast, including beverages. Order when you're ready to eat, not 20 minutes prior.

Visited first time this weekend and have to say I was pretty disappointed. The place is closer to fast casual than an actual sit down. Wait staff was decently friendly but never checked back. We didn't get water beyond the initial glass. I had to wander around for a bit to hunt down someone to ask for water.

The food wasn't bad, but not really memorable in any way. We ordered chips with guac as appetizers which were served promptly. But it felt off from the start - the portion size was seriously bad. There were so few chips I was easily able to count them, which I realize is a strange statement to make but that's exactly what it felt like.

For the entrees we got shrimp tacos and the smashburger with fries. The portion size was seriously comical. I thought I ordered the wrong thing. It looked like a white castle slider. Size was small just like a slider. And it was just buns and two small patties. A tiny slice of pickle and literally maybe 5 thin strings of onion. The shrimp tacos were more like kids meal portion.

I paid before the food was brought to the table and had tipped the now basic 20%. The overall experience just left us sad and disappointed. We had to make a proper dinner afterwards back at home.

We decided to stop in here to check it out, finally, since we were in the area. The atmosphere is cool. Nice bar set up. They don't have any gluten free or deglutenized beers, so that's a negative for them. They did have a few wine options, so that's what I opted for. It took the bartender awhile to acknowledge us, even though he wasn't tending to any other patrons, but was busy talking with a co-worker instead.
The drinks weren't bad, but pretty pricey.

We took a look at the food menu, which is sparse at best. It's full of meat and wheat and nothing really indicative of a restaurant directly next to a city farm. The menu was an overall disappointment with its creativity and food options that aren't a part of the SAD diet.

Overall, good location, but we probably won't be back unless it's for a quick drink to partake of outside.
