“Bodega is the best restaurant anywhere Chef Serge is a gift to our area. His food is equal to Michelin starred chefs food I have enjoyed Great casual and fun atmosphere. Great value Fun!!!“

“I’ve been to a lot of different Piadas but this one was the only one that used a pan to mix the pasta. This made the meal SO much better. Not to mention the service. Allen was wonderful and recommended a spicy ranch that I hadn’t tried before. Everyone seems to be super happy here (which I cannot say about other locations haha). Very pleased!“

“very very friendly staff. love all the different flavors you can choose from. my favorite is the sour tsunami..... love love it. they even have games there for the kids. we go quite a bit.“

“Love Goodberry's! If your with family, friends, or by yourself & are looking for a cool treat, look no further! Vanilla, chocolate and the flavor of the day frozen custards are yummy! Add from an array of toppings for a Sundae or have it mixed throughout in a Concrete. Either way, you won't be disappointed. And don't forget to check out the seasonal frozen treats too! 🍦🍨=😊“

“The bagels and spreads are delicious, worth the trip and always fresh. However, the hours are awful! They close at 2:00. I have been by countless times between 2:00-3:00 and they are always closed. It’s very frustrating. They lose a lot of business not staying open just an hour later. I hope this will change.“

“Great service! Great food! Fantastic atmosphere! The ribeye was AMAZING! Melt in your mouth! Roasted Yukon gold smashed potatoes and the Mac & Chs…OMG! Go there!“

“I love the environment that is family and dog friendly. The bartenders are quick to help you find the perfect beverage and enjoy down live music. Come on out!“

“Delicious ice cream, excellent customer service!“

“Enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Great food and environmental“

“Riquísimas pastas panes y pizza de excelente calidad 😋“

“First, the address on TripAdvisor is not accurate. They have moved. The correct address is on their website. \nEven with the trip downtown and back to the restaurant which as it turned out was only a mile or so from our hotel, it was so worth it. For starters we had the creamy crab soup. It was indeed delicious. I told our server I was tempted to cancel our order and just get another bowl of soup. Fortunately, we didn’t. Our entree was a fried seafood basket consisting of shrimp, oyster’s, and flounder. It came with two sides and we got the hand cut fries and coleslaw. We also ordered a half order of hush puppies that came with honey butter. Everything was delicious. Cooked perfectly. The only thing we didn’t eat all of was the fries because there was a bunch of them. The half order of hush puppies was about a dozen and we brought a few home. They were indeed great. \nHighly recommend this place.“

“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 went on opening day and even though it was cold, we had a great time! Everyone was nice and helpful, and the food is awesome!!! We are actually going again for lunch today!“

“I love the environment that is family and dog friendly. The bartenders are quick to help you find the perfect beverage and enjoy down live music. Come on out!“

“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! 🍻“

“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 😀)“

“The chicken was juicy and tender, cooked perfectly. Dave’s sauce is a musttry it pairs really well with both the chicken and the fries. The fries were crispy, though the seasoning had a slightly sweet taste that wasn’t quite to my liking, my daughter absolutely loved them. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made the overall experience very pleasant.“

“Amazing food!! Highly recommend!“

“We couldn't get chips because we were told they didn't have any more baskets. We didn't get salsa because we were told they ran out. After getting my carne asada I asked for tortillas and sour cream/guacamole. I didn't get it for about 25 minutes. Otherwise food was good. But I ate a cold meal. Probably won't go back. Very unorganized“

“I am a “regular - regular”. A ‘Coffee, Regular’ in Dunkin’ Dounuts! That is 4 sugars and 4 creams in a Large hot Coffee. AND train your ‘newbies’ Do Not put my Boston Cream doughnut ‘icing down’ in the bag!!!“

“My original review is below, after I posted this Kristi from Chick Fil A contacted me, apologized about the service and made things right. It is not often business's acknowledge their mistake and fewer who are willing to make it right and keep a customer. Kudos to Chick Fil A and their commitment to quality! and thanks Kristi.
We ordered a 30 piece nugget and maybe got 25 with many tiny pieces. Very disappointed, this was part of our Christmas Eve meal so not a great time to get something sub par. I had to re heat them so you can see way less then the 30 we ordered.“

“Great food selection with great prices“

“I stopped by this Zaxby’s after a few months away, and overall the experience was still reliably good. The food quality has remained consistent across my visits — my order was correct, served at the right temperature, and presented well, which is something I’ve come to expect from this location. The staff continues to be polite and professional. I wouldn’t call the service exceptional, but it’s consistently acceptable, and everyone stays busy and engaged in their work.

The restaurant was clean throughout my visit. I was there for over an hour catching up with a friend, and the drink station stayed clean the entire time. I also noticed team members wiping down tables whenever they weren’t taking orders, which is always a good sign of solid day‑to‑day upkeep.

There have been a few changes since my last visit. The drive‑thru setup outside has been improved, and traffic flows much better now. Parking has also been adjusted so cars in the drive‑thru aren’t blocking people trying to park. Inside, the seating area has been reworked and brightened up with fresh paint, giving it a nicer overall feel. The only downside was noticing a few cosmetic shortcuts — the booth I sat near had old holes and anchors that were simply painted over instead of properly patched. That feels more like an issue with whoever handled the remodel rather than Zaxby’s itself, but it did stand out. I was also disappointed to see that the Coke Freestyle machine is no longer at the drink station, since that was always a nice perk.

Even with those small misses, this is still a good place to grab a meal and catch up with friends, and I’ll definitely be back again soon.“

“Excellent customer service. Staff seemed happy to be there working. Rita who was working on the floor cleaning tables made the experience even better. Wish they had more like her.“

“Great hot chocolate. Asked for no whip, but got it and not really "hot". Next time I'll asked for super hot. Super great cashier. Wish I had got his name, but kudos to him.“

“My boyfriend and I visited Texas Roadhouse tonight around 7pm and it was honestly so delightful! Our server, Gem, was absolutely amazing!!! She was sweet and funny, and really made the dinner experience relaxing! :) 10/10 and I would definitely recommend the chicken critters! (A slightly basic choice I'll admit but they're honestly soooo good!! Crispy, juicy, and a really nicely seasoned breading!) Loved and annoyed our visit so much, we will be returning without a doubt!“

“One of my favorite starbucks ever. Well, not one, it is my favorite. I like to call it one of my safe places. I loved coming here during highschool and now I come here during college. I love being able to study here and I love the management here. The staff is always so friendly and accomodating. I'm not even obsessed with starbucks drinks or food like that, but I love how sweet the staff is here and the atmosphere. Definitely a good study spot! I even see the workers on break or after their shift will work on their own things.“
