“We had a great experience here for Easter Sunday! We’ve come a few times before but this was our first time having Makayla as a server and she was amazing! She was on top of everything, had a smile on her face, was very welcoming, and made sure every request was met! When we come again we will definitely try to be seated at her table again, I just can’t say enough about how great she was!“

“Delicious, and the server was *so nice*! There was a dish I used to have years ago at a different Guatemalan restaurant, and the server instantly knew what to was when I described it. And it was just as delicious here as I remembered from the other restaurant! Everything we got was so yummy and fresh and wonderful.“

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

“I tried the gluten free vanilla with strawberry cake. Honestly the cake was a bit dry but you never know what you will get with gluten free ingredients. However, the taste of the cake was very good. I’m not a huge fan of non-whipped icing but this icing was perfectly balanced with sweetness, flavor and it was super smooth! The space was very clean and well-decorated. The host/cashier was attentive and kind but a little less than what you typically get in Triangle customer service. Parking was tough but it was definitely the time that I came. Give it a try and see what you think!“

BARCODE Bar • $$$

“Come for the great service! Stay for the entertainment! The whole place is such an amazing vibe. Sink into a couch, lounge in an armchair, sit as a group at a table, meander at the bar ... and then there's an outdoor patio!!! There are books & games on the shelves but in most cases, live entertainment of various kinds throughout the week. Small eats menu (I haven't had them yet but the meatballs, when sitting in front of someone three feet away had the best smell!) & lots of drink options.“

“Very very nice place it’s just not non-alcoholic friendly. All the drinks are already pre-loaded with alcohol so the designated driver or non drinker has to have a soda I don’t drink soda. I would have taken a non-alcoholic slushy though. Like a virgin daiquiri so give I it a 6-8 bc for a bar my chicken egg rolls, fries & water was good. Virgin drinks I would have given it a 10!“

“We went there on a Sunday afternoon. The place was empty, maybe because it was too early. We ordered some drinks $4 mimosas on Sundays. You can play darts for free, and they also have a pool table, board games, and cards. We enjoyed our time hanging out, playing some games, and having drinks. There are a lot of paintings on the wall for sale. We'll be back again.“

Food was not only spectacularly presented, but was also DELICIOUS! ? As a Puerto Rican myself, I know what a good mofongo tastes like and the one I ate tonight was perfectly delicious! Jhonathan’s service went above and beyond. I even thought he was the owner! I will definitely be here again next time I’m in town. BTW…. I don’t know why so many reviews say their menus don’t have prices. I perfectly saw all prices on the menu I was given. I actually even saw them online. ??‍♀️“

Pickle chips were good(and not soggy), butI wish the fried Mac and cheese balls had more flavor or a different sauce(possibly a spicy sauce?)Our main courses were pretty good, nothing to write home about, but we were satisfied.The staff was attentive and the atmosphere is normal for a sports bar.“
