“dropped in at the Cary, fenton nc location.Such great staff! Great drinks, atmosphere, and creative menu. we loved stopping by.“

“Great food (quality and quantity), great ambience for day or night! And great service! We went for a late night dinner, so it was just us in the restaurant kind of close to their end of shift, but that did not affect the quality of food and service. Highly recommended.“

“Great meal, great service, great atmosphere!Highly recommend“

“The best chicken and waffles I've ever had.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Tonight was our first time trying Torchy's and it will definitely not be the last. Awesome vegetarian options that packed a ton of flavor. Mike and the entire team were so patient with us as we asked questions and had a sincere interest in ensuring that we were happy with everything. thank you all for an outstanding experience.“

“COMEDY & collabs w/ rad artists make this place so awesome!⚡️“

“I enjoyed my dinner it was delicious I also liked the train bringing our queso“

“I can see why this restaurant was on the Michelin Guide for Raleigh. The ambiance when you walk in, is so cozy. However, the food was AMAZING. All the flavors were there. The yellowtail crudo had to be my favorite dish. The rice cake they put on top is to die for, and dipping it in the yellowtail was chefs kiss. The catfish was their special and it was perfectly lightly battered and fried! Cocktails were unique and held lots of flavor. Definitely ask the waitress or waiter about the speakeasy, you’ll need a key to go! The service was 10/10, a great date night“

“Made us something not on the menu and it was on the house! Waitstaff was very friendly :)“

“Food and mocktail- Thyme drink were delish!“

“First time eating here had delivered for lunch baby bang taco was so good . Salsa and chips- the chips were so fresh salsa soooo good I will order again .“

“I love the first thing you see is black lives matter and the rainbow flag their support of equality means the world! 🌎
Limited menu but everything was really good our waiter was awesome very friendly very sweet. Prices were reasonable. We would definitely come back“

“Despite coming in on a whim on a Saturday at 430, I was able to get seated quickly and the waiter appeared soon after.

The food was served quickly and while I had the chefs board, so nothing was cooked, the crostini was crisp and the baguette nicely warmed. I was getting a bourbon flight so I appreciated that there were 2 types of cheese, breads and meats along with spicy pickled vegetables, a kicking Dijon mustard and a sweet preserve. So all in all nice variety.

My waiter was attentive without being annoying, and despite sitting indoors it wasn't as loud as I thought it would be. The patio looked nice too I just wanted a chair not a bench.

The whiskey/bourbon menu was extensive featuring American, Scottish, Irish and Japanese options. They also have a section, flight and Wednesday discount for NC distillers.

I definitely go back to try something else, both alcohol and food.“

“Only had two bread choices but that was my fault, I went at 1 pm. However everyone loved it so it made me look good.
ETA: Went again on a rainy Sunday. They had a lot of pastries & cookies, more than I remembered. I got a ham & cheese croissant for there & a piece of coffee cake to take home. Tasty food, great staff, & enjoyed sitting at the window as the storm passed by.“

“Great selections and wonderful flavors.“

“Wow! This was amazing! I’ve been chasing a quiche as good as one I had in Colmar, France years ago and this was it!!! I will dream of this quiche. Cannot recommend enough! Also had the best iced tea I’ve ever had at a restaurant. My husband got the French Toast and said it was amazing as well! The service was great, the restaurant was a great atmosphere and the accommodation for children was nice! We will be back many times!“

“Man, I had to revise this review. Love their crab cakes, but man, I just can't get enough of their NY Strip Steak. Perfect medium rare and that incredible char on the outside of the steak, yum. The Mac and cheese side might be the best I ever ate.
These folks make the BEST crab cakes in Raleigh. Prime rib is delicious.“

“Had my second visit today and its quickly become one of my favorite Raleigh spots. Do yourself a favor and check them out. I cannot wait to go through the menu and try all the combinations. So far I’ve had the Braised beef and steak. Excellent meals!“

“Amazing ambience and food great location loved it“

“We went before a Hurricane’s game. Great to see all the ‘Canes fans. I also appreciated the discount parking for the game.“

“First time ordering here — wow!!! Had the purple 2oz shot, brussel sprouts and meatless chicken sandwich. Served hot, seasoned very well, and great customer service. They just got added to our favorites.“

“Had a delicious brunch today! The BLT burger & berry mimosa were AMAZEBALLS & our server handled some crazy stuff like a champ when we were all having to switch tables & move around. I HIGHLY recommend & still can't believe it's vegan! My son with ARFID would actually eat this food!“

“I was running 30 mins late for my reservation, called in, no problem to postpone. The staff were amazing, so friendly and were very helpful with menu choices. The food was unbelievable! My only regret was that I couldn’t eat anymore! Just make a reservation well ahead of time to be seated at a table, otherwise sitting at the bar is the next option. We ordered the Risotto and the crab cakes! Both delicious and ended sharing a slice of cheesecake! 5 stars plus to this incredible vegan restaurant.“

“I just devoured lunch from Eden's food truck located in theWalmart shopping center on Highway 42! The rice and beans were cooked perfectly and the potato salad was definitely homemade. It was absolutely delicious and I will be a repeat customer!“

“Food is outstanding! Service is wonderful. The owner was very friendly. Beautiful decor & great atmosphere. Will definitely be returning here.“

“What an all around amazing night at Second Empire! Our family gathered there to celebrate our son's wedding. The personal service the bride and groom received was way beyond expectations. Everyone made them feel so special! From start to finish, the evening was exceptional. The food was so yummy and there were even options for those in our group, myself included, who were vegan/vegetarian. And it wasn't just a salad. Just ask the server! Ours was well versed in what the chef could prepare for us. The presentation of the food to our party of 13 was also super cool...they brought out all of the entrees at once! Also there is an elevator to help those with mobility issues. Thanks to everyone for helping to make this special day even more special!“

“The food is delicious and the presentation is beautiful. If you have not tried First Watch please treat yourself soon😊“

“Went here for lunch with a buddy of mine. All the food was outstanding and our bartender, forgot her name, was awesome in every aspect. We started with the Spanakopita. These were amazing. A little more soggy than I’m used to, but still really really good and the green goddess sauce was a really nice additive. My main meal was the Black Bean Burger, which I don’t typically go for. The flavoring was extraordinary for a bean burger. I also got the carrot ginger soup, which was perfect for fall weather, it was awesome! I also got the Barbacoa Crunchwrap. This was good. It didn’t blow my mind though because I got it to go and so it wasn’t fresh out the kitchen when I got to have it, but again it was still good! Lastly I got the goat cheese beignets, which were also good. I would definitely recommend this place to people.“

“We recently ordered a custom cake for my son’s first birthday and I can’t say enough amazing things about this bakery. They were so easy to communicate with and worked off our party invitation to come up with an adorable, perfect design. On the day of, the cake was decorated just as we discussed, traveled well with no issues (we picked up), and mostly importantly was absolutely delicious- my guests raved about it all day! I will absolutely be placing many more future orders!“

“Love coming back to this place for our corporate parties. Delicious food, great service, beautiful design and warm atmosphere.“

“I planned a post funeral for the attendees who traveled to Raleigh from out of town. Since the time was for 3 PM on a Tuesday afternoon we got the area that can also be sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant, although in our case it was not. It did not need to sectioned off as the restaurant was not busy at this time. Lesan was our server and he was great. Energetic, friendly, quick with a smile and a master of the menu details. Our group was a mixture of different age groups but we love to talk and laugh. Lesan blended in seamlessly.“

“Great service! The filet mignon tacos were amazing!“

“Grows excellent with all 4 of us . He was so pleasant and helpful.“

“Love coming to this small coffee shop! The drinks are always amazing and the staff is great!“

“The food at First Watch is always delicious and Justin is an excellent server!“

“Was able to order in less than five minutes. The food is awesome. Meal with a drink came out to $15 (after tax). Fresh ingredients and a tasty menu! The fresh teas and lemonade is a must have. And to compliment it all is the friendly staff. I appreciate the wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options. I had a wonderful first time experience. I will definitely be back for more.“

“I am at Glenwood often and love the main dining area and the atmosphere. The food is great especially the salmon.“

“Excellent service and food quality! We had cocktails and a light appetizer while waiting for a table. Then once seated, the two of us ordered: three small plates, one large plate, and a dessert all to share. The timing was perfect. Each item came out separately, with an appropriate pause in between. We were not rushed or overwhelmed. Staff was very attentive without ever being anywhere close to overbearing.“

“Super tasty and the staff was on point! Highly recommended!“

“Phenomenal lunch and dinner—we went twice in one weekend, and will absolutely come back. So impressed with the simple, yet thoughtful dishes. Happy af. 10/10“

“Arrived 15 minutes early and was told they wouldn't be able to seat us until our reservation time. Ok, no problem. They verified my phone number. We found 2 seats at the bar. Bartender, Brian, was great. Were at the bar past our time and never got paged. Decided to eat at bar. Brian made our experience exceptional! Food was great, service was excellent! They never paged us.“
