The Trail House

I recommend this place if you want a lively surrounding with loud music. This restaurant has nice seating but was just too loud for my liking. We were seated at a table rather quickly and got some time to look over the menu. I decided on the choice of 3 sliders where I ended up getting fried chicken, grilled chicken, and beef. Everything looked amazing although the only slider worthy coming back for is the fried chicken. I don't know that I would come to dine in again unless I wanted to be lively or went out with friends so next time I will just order in.

We met friends for dinner on a Saturday night. They place was not to busy when we arrived but quickly filled in. Our server was nice, and maybe she was new, but she was unable to answer our questions about drinks or what was on tap. They have a drink specials list, and it seems that if you aren't ordering one of those, then they are unable to make the drink. For example, they have a Carmel apple mule but were unable to make a standard Moscow mule. I ordered the espresso old fashioned ( two of my favorite things!), but it was not good. The espresso overwhelmed the drink. They had a decent beer list, so we stuck with that after striking out with the cocktails. We ordered the Dip trio, and that was good, and the shrimp tacos were also very good. The bar area is definitely darker, but the dining side is a little better. It does get loud when the band starts, making it very difficult to chat. Overall, the food is good, the beer is decent but avoid the cocktails and bar area.

The Trail House seems to serve as a hub of excitement in the small but rapidly growing suburb of Indian Trail, NC. If you want to catch a game they have TVs galore along with inexpensive beer and cocktails and some solid food options. They also host trivia nights, music bingo, open mics, and have a nice stage for live bands to perform. Really there is something for everyone here. My first trip occurred on a Sunday where I found myself in need of some hair of the dog and something hearty and a bit greasy to help me fight off a hangover. Their menu consists of some classic pub favorites from barbecue nachos, to flatbreads, to burger sliders. Basically exactly what I was looking for. I decided on the Buffalo grilled cheese which I devoured in minutes. Really loved the vibe here and if I lived in the area I would certainly be a regular.

Came for lunch for the Labor Day Holiday. Located in the shopping center behind their Starbucks. Was not busy at all, and they had plenty of parking located in their lot. We were seated right away upon arrival. Our waiter was super efficient and friendly (failed to get his name) very attentive and gave great recommendations. I ordered their regular carolina burger with French fries. My sister ordered their French onion soup, pimento but sandwich, and house salad. Their fries were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I'm a French fry person, and these were the best. They were crispy just how I like them and not super hot to where you need to wait till their cold to eat. Burger was delicious as well. The meat felt a bit dry, though, but it didn't bother me too much. Still delicious! Definetly will come back if I'm ever in the area.

For the first time in my life, I was served raw chicken. The boneless chicken wings were completely pink in the middle. I wasn't interested in eating the rest of the meal as everything else was mediocre. The manager only saw fit to refund the one item, which is unacceptable after receiving dangerous raw food.

This is a great spot for a casual dinner. We stopped by on Sunday night to watch football and grab a bite to eat. It was not very busy that night so we were able to be seated without a wait for a table. Our server was super helpful and made sure we were taken care of immediately after being seated. She took our drink orders and food orders quickly too which was nice. The food came out pretty quickly and was great! Never tried the Korean wing flavor at the restaurant before but it did not disappoint! The lemon pepper wings are always great! We will definitely stop by again soon!

The best variety of salads! always a takeout option when we want to pick up something fast to eat!
