“I enjoyed the beef and cheese and the Raleigh which is bbq pork. They were very good! Hubby liked the Havana and Cuban but not the chicken and cheese. I reheated them in my air fryer. The girl working the counter today was very sweet, friendly and helpful! 2/15/24“

“We have been looking at the possibility of moving to the Wake Forest area and decided to pop into this local Bar and Social Club downtown. What an amazing place. With a very relaxed vibe, great service, and a true local feel – the drinks were the real treat. The carefully curated cocktail menu provides some exciting classics with a very sophisticated mix of ingredients to elevate each cocktail to a new level beyond my expectations. With live music every week – I can’t wait to move to the area and become a regular at this local spot!“

“Delicious ice cream, excellent customer service!“

“This is the best seafood place around in the area. The waiters and staff are very friendly. The food is delicious and there is usually enough to have leftovers. The staff and waiters are very friendly and the food comes out relatively fast. Very nice place to eat dinner and the outside seating is very nice.“

“Great food and environmental“

“I just wanted to give a shout out to the young woman who was working the front today. I keep seeing your business on social media and prefer to support local so I drove to WF to check it out. It was very quaint with great outdoor seating and the food was good. However, the service was OUTSTANDING. This young woman was working the register, answering the phone and waiting tables. All with the most pleasant personality I have seen in a long time! She was so pleasant that I asked her if she was the owner because you certainly don’t see many, if any, employees have such an outstanding attitude! If all of your employees are like her ( and you keep her) , word of mouth and great reviews will help you become hugely successful hopefully! Thank you to the young woman who went out of her way to be so kind. You should be a business owner or in sales ( which I told her 😀)“

“This was our first time trying Gonza’s, and the food was amazing. However, I did feel rushed. My daughters were still eating, yet we were asked several times if they wanted a box, and the check was placed on the table before they had finished. I didn’t appreciate that, as it made my daughters uncomfortable and discouraged them from finishing their meal. While the food was great, I’ll keep looking for a place that offers both good food and good customer service. On a positive note, the manager who came over to collect my payment was nice, which I did appreciate.“

“I had an amazing experience at Norse Brewing! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a great Viking-inspired aesthetic that sets it apart from other breweries. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making great recommendations based on my tastes. The beer selection is fantastic—every brew I tried was top-notch, but the Mjölnir Stout and Ragnar’s Red Ale were absolute standouts. You can tell they put a lot of care into their craft, with bold flavors and smooth finishes. The food was just as impressive, with hearty, well-prepared dishes that paired perfectly with the drinks. If you’re looking for a unique spot with great beer, delicious food, and an awesome atmosphere, Norse Brewing is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back! Skål! 🍻“
