“Jefferson was an exceptional waiter! He gave great suggestions without overly pushing things ; he respected our prior knowledge of the restaurant. We were able to dine at our own pace, without things being cleared until they were certain we were finished as well as food coming out at good intervals. My companion has a gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate easily (the table soy sauce was gf by default). Food was delicious and definitely recommend trying the pickled wasabi to enhance the flavors of your sushi! The cook yourself A5 Wagyu was also worth the experience. I'll be back for a 5th time whenever I'm in town, for sure.”

“If you are planning a special occasion or just want a night out at a wonderful restaurant, I have a bit of advice for you. Go to Chef Palette! This establishment has got it together. The atmosphere is just lovely. We planned our son and future daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner from afar, way far.....Michigan. As stressful as that could have been, Kathie did everything to ease our stress. She calmed this Momma's heart and executed everything to a "T". The appetizer table was not only displayed beautifully, it was YUMMY! The salad, main entrees and dessert did not disappoint. But most of all, the staff was most kind and extremely professional. We cannot thank Kathie and the staff at Chef Palette enough for the wonderful and memorable evening we shared together. GO TO CHEF's PALETTE!”

“Unusual experience today at first watch. Greeter appeared to be a disinterested customer, approached me and asked “how many” while paying more attention to his phone than to my answer. Wasn’t dressed in the normal uniform and while I answered him I still assumed he was joking around since none of the workers were present. I’m sure my breakfast will be great as usual but someone needs to train him that he is the first impression a customer is going to get and my interaction with him wasn’t great”

And the queen moscat oolong tea was very smooth and light. And I’m not a tea person definitely would try it again. The cherry blossom sencha fruit tea with boba definitely a fruity drink and love the apple slices and oranges inside, definitely will order it again.”

Bakery
“For the couple years I've been driving down Weston parkway just for the smell of home cooked bread. Everyone thought I was crazy (except the dog) I told them there must be a bakery somewhere around and finally after the leaves fell off the trees I look over to see the Kelloggs sign. Who knew.”
Fast Food • $
“In the beginning, there was two things. Man and the golden arches. Since the dawn of time, McDonalds has transcended my expectations. Up until now though, I was never blown away quite like I was today. We pull into the parking lot, covered spacers. Ryan H's milli dollar accord was safe. First tears shed of the adventure. We walk into the french doors, and are greeted by a luxurious dining hall. Comfy seats, big chairs, and private dining. Kiosks, just fantastic. Once ordered, I heard my name sweetly sung to me, letting me know my order was ready. The big mac was cooked to perfection, the fries, a perfect crisp, and my diet coke, refreshing. Me and the boys privately dined, and enjoyed ourselves private but lively cafe. Would I return? Let me ask you, would cavemen eat gazelle, would, Neal Armstrong go back to the moon? Let that answer my question. McDonald's 2024. Thank you.”

We had tandoori mixed grill, butter chicken, Somosa chaat, aloo gobi, naans, raita and mango chutney. We have tried so many Indian restaurants in the area, this one is our new favorite. Their food, portions and prices are the best. The ginger lemon tea is a bonus!”

Barbeque • $$
“I went to Five Spice BBQ last night with a friend because I had never tried a Korean-style barbecue restaurant before. We were seated immediately and were given menus and our drink orders taken. The service is all-you-can-eat for one price and the menu is a list of the items you can order. Our waitress recommended several items we wanted to try first, she put in the order on a tablet and within a few minutes we were given the items. Just a few minutes later on the grill and we were eating! I very much liked that almost right away from arriving we were starting to eat, which is markedly different from traditional restaurants that require your order to be prepared.We tried a number of items, which included various beef cuts, chicken, seafood, pork and vegetables. They even had lamb on the menu! No matter what you prefer, there are multiple items available. My personal favorites were the spicy pork belly and the marble beef.For the price of a steak dinner at virtually any other restaurant, we were able to eat much more steak and even other kinds of meat, both marinated and plain. All the dipping sauces were excellent and the quality of all the meat was very high.The atmosphere was lively but not too loud or crowded. Our server Lily was amazing and helped us to school our food to perfection! You can also cook everything yourself, if you prefer.Everything about the experience was great, and I highly recommend to anyone who is considering it or likes high-quality restaurants. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed! Can’t wait to go back the next time I want to stuff myself with superb food!”

Indian • $$
“If you want really authentic Indian food, and not "Americanized" Indian food, come here. They have many different types of Indian cuisine, and it's all very good. I got their house special goat, and ask for "spicy". The meat was cooked perfectly and the sauce had a nice curry flavor with a good amount of heat. Not burning my mouth off like Chinese food, but still pretty hot. I got the butter naan and my parents got the garlic naan, and both were very good. My mother had Chicken Korma in the past and liked it, so I recommended it. She liked it a lot. My father got boneless chicken kebabs, which I tried some of, which were cooked well and still tender. The naan here is more like a soft flat bread like you would expect, not like hard cake i've seen at other Indian restaurants, which I liked. The service was good even though the place was pretty busy and the food came out pretty quickly.”

“I frequent the Chick-fil-A brand all of over the country and this is my children go to place for dinner. Tonight I went to your location in Cary. First of all the attendees outside aren’t as polite as the used to be they were concerned with group conversation not serving the customers. When I pulled up the cashier, said,”What can I get you”, no hey welcome to Chick-fil-A how may I serve you. I was shocked. I asked for two 12 counts of freshly cooked nuggets. I put an emphasis on fresh. I paid, drove to get my receipt and reiterated I wanted them fresh to that attendee. I got to window and I reiterated again to the young lady who had her hair cut very close, she said, “yes sir promise”. This was an entire lie and disappointment. This is the 2nd bad experience with this particular store. I have included the pictures in the email. After speaking to Caroline she has promised to give our family a night on her, but she never asked me my name, my phone number or asked when I was planning to come back. Totally disappointed.”
Ice Cream Shop • $
“Yes I recommend this Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins. Many years ago I used to work in Cary and I came here a lot the service was wonderful then too! I drove here twice today from Durham. To get a special coffee that I like. I couldn't get it in Morrisville and two Dunkin' Donuts in Durham. I think this is a bigger and more popular location because they're always busy. The staff is very friendly and kind and even though this is not anywhere near my house it's worth the trip out there and I'm trying to work it into my daily routine. They get my order correct too everytime.I had two wonderful service experiences today and I plan to go back many more times. This location has never disappointed me past or present. Thank you!!!”

“Been coming here for almost 21 years since I turned 20 years old in 2003 and have usually had very good experiences here except a few times in 2019 but fortunately the staff has really changed and improved since then and the manager is really friendly. I usually don't eat fast food since it is not good for me, but I come here about once every 2 months for the veggie whoppers. Taste great but I am careful not to get too addicted to it! Moderation is key!”

“Thank you so much for having kind, helpful and understanding employees who truly seem to put their customers first. This evening as we were traveling home from our Thanksgiving vacation we were faced with the predicament of having to haul one vehicle home on a trailer after a very unexpected transmission issue. The dining room was closed and the curbside option was unavailable on the app & since maneuvering the drive thru with a GMC Sierra towing a Suburban was out of the question, I made a quick call into the store and a polite young lady promptly assured me that we could make it work. She asked me to let her know once I arrived and even though they didn’t have any one outdoors taking orders at that time, they could send someone out; Its chilly out today, so I felt bad have it someone do that and I was actually able to order through the app and then just let her know we had arrived. She then helped us figure out the best place to park out of the way while we waited and a very nice gentleman brought out our order, quite timely might I add. Once again thank you, it was very appreciated by all of us, especially the 3 Chic-Fil-A loving, hungry, tired of traveling kiddos! I”

“Food great. The representative made a great suggestion and I got two minis sandwiches one turkey and the other Italian, great for someone like me who wanted both, but not so much and he cut my mini sandwiches in half. The other guy has a little, but of a flat affect, not so inviting ? or engaging, but it's a short interaction and I never really care to stay there and my sub. They need some music or something in there.”

“The food is ok. While I’d say it’s authentic, it’s an authentic representation of decent, but not great, Chinese BBQ.They ask if you want it spicy or not, but the spiciness level doesn’t really register. We asked them to bring the next batch more spicy, but it was still pretty mild.”

Darren knew exactly what we needed was very respectful of our budget and went out of his way to deliver it for us. The platter of bagels, cream cheese, lox and other toppings were greatly appreciated and enjoyed by everyone that attended the Shiva. I can’t say enough good things about this deli and the owner, the food was loved by all and Darren’s understanding of what we needed and his making sure it got where we needed it when we needed it is greatly appreciated by our family! Thank you Darren for all that you did for us.”

“MC is by far one of the very best restaurants in the Triangle & in the State. The quality of the service, culinary experience, & ambiance rival the Michelin Star restaurants across the country I’ve had the pleasure of dining at. If there’s any restaurant in the state that deserves Michelin recognition, it’s MC. The consistency of quality even with an ever-changing menu keeps me coming back for more. I’ve taken many friends & family here & I constantly get asked when we’ll be coming back. Bravo Chef, you’ve built an incredible experience.”

Special thank you to, Om Prakash, for his immediate responses (and patience!) and the fact that his entire team Ragan, Parasuram, and the rest of the crew are so genuine and caring. The food was absolutely delicious and the service you provide was outstanding, that too with a smile till the end. Thank you Anjappar Restaurant for making my husband’s 40th surprise birthday celebrations a grand success!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate this milestone birthday of his.

Additionally, I did find the pricing to be a bit steep compared to similar restaurants. Food was pretty good, but the salmon roll and sushi roll with lemon I got were nothing special. I did get the matcha cheesecake, which was also good but had a little too much matcha powder dusted on it. Service was good, as well.”

“A lovely place to eat with excellent service and food. It's a fairly quiet place with plenty of seating, a good sized menu and fast friendly service. I had forgotten they had monkey brains and if you love avocado and fish, it's delicious! Hadn't been here in quite awhile but was happy to find it was as good as I remembered.”

The atmosphere is amazing and the interior design is stunning and creative. We always get a boat and it has all the sushi you could ever want. I love coming here and always will.”

“Being my first time here, I love it. Not everyone has the same experience but I will say mine was great. Now I do have a small tiny complain which was my appetizer, we order Krab Rangoon, which are my favorites but I was a bit disappointed in them, because they didn’t taste fresh, they felt like they were kinda chewy, hard to bite. But besides that the rest was good. I have the chefs Bobby, he was amazing. This was the first hibachi I’ve been to that has been great, the food was great, it was much more than I expected. I love it. The waiter was amazing I just didn’t get his name. But I gave it a 5 because besides the appetizer everything else was Excellent. I will definitely be back. I ate the land and sea, plus added shrimps definitely recommend it.”

“My review may not be the most helpful because I went in the store on a mission. I only came in for Mexican candy. The store is small and is near what seems to be a heavily populated Hispanic community so everything in the shopping center was written in Spanish. I wish I knew what it all meant. I did expect them to have more options of candy to choose from..... they seem to have the basics that I can get from my local Walmart so I was a bit disappointed because I wanted more variety.......the prices are better so that matters. I didn't realize I was the first to review or I would have taken pictures. They had authentic foods/spices/ingredients and even fruits and vegetables. I also noticed drinks but because I was focused on candy I spent my time in that section. If I'm ever over that way again I may stop by again but I think I'm going to search for a larger store with more candy. If you need authentic ingredients for a dish I'm pretty sure you can come here.”

“Honestly for a hotel restaurant my food was really good! I usually avoid eating in the hotel but tonight I was too tired to go out. So I grabbed a complimentary drink for the reception and ordered a fried chicken sandwich. Service was friendly and prompt. The sandwich arrived hot and honesty was one of the better chicken sandwiches I've had. It had really good flavor and was juicy with fresh lettuce. The fries were cooked perfect to fit my liking which is crispy but not destroyed. Sorry I should've taken a picture... Fyi the table next to me got salads which looked really good.If you want to stay close or order room service I think you'll be pleasantly surprised as I was. Ignore the 1 star reviews that don't really relate to the restaurant. They also had a manager waking around checking on customers which is always a good sign that they care.”

Mediterranean • $$
“The portions are pretty decent sized here! Pricing is reasonable, too. I got the Jasmin platter with chicken, Greek salad, and falafel. The falafels were extraordinary. Salad was a little too oily for me. It also came with pita and I got hot sauce. The hot sauce goes well with the falafel but doesn't taste too Mediterranean. Would recommend if you want wanna get more volume for a decent price. The ambiance is okay, and service is typically good. We did have to wait in line for a little bit, but nothing too bad.”

“Review is in regards to the theatre.It's a fairly nice theater, however it's pretty well overpriced. This goes for tickets and food. Every time I've went, there has been some type of issue.The first time, there was food that seemed to be left out since the prior day as it smelled absolutely foul. Not sure if they actually clean between showings.The second time, the seats didn't recline; which is part of the reason you pay extra?I will say, make sure you check on their website for coupon codes for food. More often than not, there is a 5$ off or equivalent.”

“Had a very nice two night weekend stay. Room was very nice. Dining atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. The restaurant/bar area and in turn the library room are EXTREMELY noisy!!! Use some sound deadening materials for Christ sake!! We wanted to relax in the library area which is very comfortable but couldn’t last more than a few minutes because of the the noise from the dining room. It wasn’t that there were loud groups either. The room is very noisy. Simple conversations had to get continually louder to overcome the noise which made it even worse. During dinner with two people we were forced to raise out voices to we could hear each other. Just not acceptable in an otherwise very nice hotel.”

Wine Bar • $$
“I must say I was very pleased with my experience tonight. The food was delicious. I loved the chicken alla francese. The lemon flavor was a great touch and the chicken was juicy and tender. I also enjoyed the wine flights. There was a variety of options to choose from. We ate outside which was really nice. I want to give a special shout out to our waitress Unique. She was pleasant, helpful with the selections and made sure we were taken care of even after we paid the bill and lingered for a bit. I will definitely be back to try out the salmon.”

“I went to BB’s for the first today and took it home. I got a classic Chicken Sandwich and Sea salt fries. The fries were great! The sandwich was great. The batter is amazing. It stayed crispy the whole ride home. It didn’t get mushy from the pickles or the steam from the closed container on the car ride home. The chicken is fresh and not processed. A couple of things I think could make a huge difference is the seasoning. The chicken definitely needs to be seasoned. I also think it is a bit too thick. Make it a bit thinner and add some seasoning….it will truly be the perfect chicken sandwich.”

“We dined in and ordered the lobster duo, with broccoli and a baked potato. My companion had the endless shrimp. The food was perfect! The potato was baked all the way through, the lobster was flawlessly prepared. Service was excellent and friendly. The waitstaff was well trained. The manager was around and even brought food to one of the tables. This restaurant has made remarkable improvements. I definitely recommend them, based on tonight's dinner experience.”

“A double cheeseburger that I had was chosen based on the photograph on the menu. The hamburger in the menu was piled high with lettuce tomato and onion. The hamburger I got had one wilted measly piece of lettuce the size of my thumb, one small slice of tomato about one third the size of the hamburger, and the onion was even smaller, covering maybe 1/4 of the hamburger. I was very disappointed that they chinced on the lettuce tomato and onion. False advertising! Give us what you said you’d prepare for us! Cheaters!”

“Unusual experience today at first watch. Greeter appeared to be a disinterested customer, approached me and asked “how many” while paying more attention to his phone than to my answer. Wasn’t dressed in the normal uniform and while I answered him I still assumed he was joking around since none of the workers were present. I’m sure my breakfast will be great as usual but someone needs to train him that he is the first impression a customer is going to get and my interaction with him wasn’t great”

“This is a GREAT place for anybody, including families.Their menu is extensive, and I'm sure everybody in your party will find something they like - including kids ?Their ribs are AMAZING, and so are their burgers. Avoid the cole slaw (dry, not enough sauce), and get a salad instead.We've been to this place often and never regretted it.”

We will definitely be back to the Cary store.Parking: Very large lot for big van and trailer.Wheelchair accessibility: There is plenty of room if you are disabled.”

“It's been many years since I last came to La Farm, so I decided to stop by today. I tried their coffee for the first time (ordered a latte) and it was pretty good! I was happy to see that they have non-dairy milk options and a few different flavored syrup options as well. The workers were friendly and the drinks came out quickly.I came in the afternoon, but thankfully they still had a decent selection of pastries available. I tried a bite of my friends almond croissant, and it tasted fresh and delicious. Their blueberry tart was my favorite treat as a child, so I decided to get one for old times sake, and it was just as good as I remember!”

“Absolutely amazing Dickys location. We have ordered from here 4 times, 3 times it was delicious and exactly what we ordered. Today we had an incorrect order (ordered 2 meat plate with ribs, and were missing ribs). Called the location to see what we could do, and they remedied it instantly. The associate handled the call with empathy, the manager called me back, and then texted me the resolution. Incredible service, delicious food. 5 star recommend this location. Go Dickys Cary!”

“had been a few years since I had gone to Rise. didn't realize that the entire franchise had changed..now, very few donuts and a horrible and impersonal way of ordering. the apple fritter tastes like it was baked yesterday or at the very least 5 hours ago. even Dunkin donuts might be better and that's not saying much. RISE used to have the best donuts. they were unique and tasted fresh. not so anymore. I wouldn't return. I find it weird to order on a computer and pick up your food from a box with a door on it and then they deem to suggest you tip them for....for what? making the food that they already get paid to make? it's not like they're making waitress wages. I guess they're more known now for their biscuits, but either way...I wouldn't return based solely on the ordering experience.”
“Very good idea for family and friends”
