"A wonderful, intimate location for any special occasion.The first thing you notice when you enter, is the classic music, Play ed on LP's, over a high fidelity sound system.The menu is always seasonal, and always inventive. Local food is usually featured, and perfectly prepared.I ordered scallops, and they were perfectly done, with a crisp outside, and a melt in your mouth inside. The greens were crisp and flavorful, with a mash that added the perfect juxtaposition of texture for the dish.The dessert featured fresh berries on a passion fruit puree, with crispy toasted coconut to add the perfect texture.I've been here twice, and every time, they adhere to the French style of cooking where each dish contains a variety of textures and a perfect balance of flavors.The seating is very intimate, which ensures that the service is always impeccable."
"I liked it a lot! Service was great, perfect amount of food. I ordered the hamburger that was on special with the grit cakes. Some reviews said it was pricey but I didn't find it to be at all. I'll be back with friends."
"This bbq is the real deal, so juicy and tender. While I was there, I saw people of all races come in to order and the staff was constantly on the go. Great bbq sandwich, added some baked beans and hushpuppies for sides. Wish I lived close enough to eat here often!"
"What a nice place!Upon entering you are greeted by some nice friendly employees.The case is full of delicious looking desserts.I had a Horchata Macchiato it had a bit too much milk for me I only drank a little- it had great flavor- I tried to get it made with non-milk but it was not available. The mini Concha was sweet and delicious.The bathroom was very clean and the restaurant had plenty of tables."
"We've been having some cravings for Chinese food so we decided to grab take out here. We ordered via phone and they said our order would be ready in 10 minutes.They're not real talkative, but they were fast and the food was priced right.I ordered a large egg drop soup and my husband ordered a general tso's chicken which comes with fried rice and an egg roll. We also got an order of crab Rangoon. Everything tasted just as expected.This location is pretty standard compared to other Chinese restaurants.The location is great, as it has plenty of parking and is anchored by a Food lion in the Riverwood Plaza."
"I wish I had photos to go along with this but I imagine you can find photos on this page somewhere. We went here for a team dinner and all did the Nigiri Omakase and WOW. Probably the best sushi/omakase I've had especially for that price. I truly enjoyed every one of the 13 nigiris which says a lot because I'm not terribly exploratory with fish and haven't like everything in other omakase experiences. I'd seriously recommend this restaurant and especially their omakase if you're thinking about coming. I really hope I come back because it was really THAT good.Thank you M sushi I'll have dreams about this meal."
"Had a great meal at Tandem! My friend and I treated ourselves to a nice dinner here on a Sunday night. I made a reservation for 6:30pm for 2, but I don't think it was needed since the restaurant had little people when we got there. The interior inside is very industrial, with lots of wooden features (like the floor, chairs, tabletops) and string lights hanging from the ceiling. The walls were brick, and it had great big industrial windows which provided great natural lighting. The service was fine, but nothing over the top.I ordered the 72 hour short rib, and my friend got the salmon. It was delicious. It came in a Le Creuset pot with mashed potatoes and assorted veggies on the side. Stunning presentation, and might I say, those pots are expensive, and they have multiple of them. But I guess it was worth the investment because it looked really nice. The beef was super juicy and tender. High quality melt-in-your-mouth beef. And they don't shy away from the portion. It looked like a fat square block. But it was genuinely glistening in the light. The mashed potatoes were just alright for me. They had a strong flavor that I can't pinpoint - maybe too much cheese? They also put mint on the mashed potatoes and beef, which was quite a surprise, but I don't think I prefer it. The veggies were a nice touch with the beef. Overall, great experience and amazing food. I definitely would come back for another nice dinner!"
"Consistently tasty Chinese restaurant near Meredith. I always pass this joint driving along Hillsborough. It's an unassuming stand alone building along the road with a slim parking lot. When I saw the reviews, I decided on a whim to stop by and haven't been disappointed since. It's mostly a take out place, although they do have tables inside of you want eat fresh. Since the pandemic they have placed some protection in front of the cashier stand. The owners have a thick accent and can be curt, but they're nice people and busy since it's popular with the students. This recent order was for the Hunan chicken dinner combo. Egg roll not pictured. Standard veggies with chicken in a brown sauce. A "healthier" option for American Chinese food since there's some vitamins instead of just fried chicken ;) The sauce has a nice kick with the pepper flakes and it's not overly greasy like some other places I've visited. I ordered the fried rice with egg: classic taste. The egg roll has a hint of mustard."
"love the vibe here. super relaxing place to chill drink and just be. ahhhh the hummus and cheese straws were good. they have games to play and wonderful comfortable gathering places. what a gorgeous day i had to just rest my bones for a bit while getting some fresh air and sip some wine."
"If you watch a lot of kdramas, you end up craving the foods that they're eating. They tend to show a lot of KFC (Korean fried chicken not Kentucky fried chicken). And I've been craving some KFC anyway since it's been a while so I knew I needed some takeout from Chicken Bee today! Also, it's cold and rainy today so that was also a factor in deciding tonight's dinner. Chicken Bee is my favorite KFC restaurant in Durham!I will say that the chicken isn't as crispy as BonChon's but they are more generous with the sauce. I always order soy garlic wings and sometimes will get the half order of the hot and spicy chicken. I decided to just order both today since I don't have it that often! Leftovers are also a plus for me since I've been too lazy to cook lately. I like to throw them in the toaster oven or air fryer to reheat. The sauces have great flavor and the chicken is juicy and not dry. I also appreciate that the wings are on the bigger side. The hot and spicy is a pretty good spice level for me; it's got good heat and is tolerable. I always get pickled radish as my side.I ordered on doordash for 2 reasons: I didn't feel like driving in the rain and I know parking is very limited there. I do wish they had a better way of packaging the food so it's not as exposed and could be easily tampered with. The middle part of the bag is tied pretty tightly but it's still open because the handles aren't tied together. Also, the box has a small opening that you can see from the top of the bag."
"Chicken Salad Chick recently opened in Raleigh, NC so that means no more drives to Cary for chicken or egg salad. It is behind where the McDonald's was on Lake Boone.I didn't plan to stop on the second day opened but when driving home I decided to stop. I wasn't sure what the parking situation would be but it wasn't too bad. The outside seating and dumpsters do take up some of the parking spots. The staff is friendly and someone is near the registers to greet you. There are menus near the door too. I'm not sure I like this layout of the restaurant though as when you walk in you walk into the dining area here and nowhere to view the menu without disturbing those eating. Then after ordering to go you basically wait in the dining area too so you are right near those dining in.I ordered egg salad and the three chicken salads with fruit. Then got the grape salad with both meals. I did get a free water bottle for the second day giveaway. They have different giveaways all week."

Visit Restaurant Page"5/6/23: First time here. It was packed with people graduating, which was awesome to see. We waited quite awhile for a table, but we finally got one. I looked over the menu and decided to keep it simple by ordering pancakes and bacon. My friend had grits, eggs, biscuits, and a spicy sausage patty. He loved his food because he eats anything and was starving. My pancakes had a weird taste to them and the bacon was cold and soggy. I wasn't very impressed. We went to the register to pay and saw the sign that if paying with card, we would be charged a surcharge. Would've been nice to know that ahead of time, but anywho. I may go back to try something else. I definitely didn't enjoy my breakfast. Parking is crazy too. Be aware."
"Before you go, be sure to get your license plate as you will need to validate once you get to the restaurant for parking.The outdoor patio is perfect for a rainy evening. The menus had so many great options. I went with the fish sandwich and chips. The chips were very good and with a garlic aioli would be even better. I plan to get the deep dish pizza next time, someone beside us had it and it looked so good."
"Returning after Covid. Finally we were able to return to this place. Same hospitality. Great food. Tried different dishes Fried noodles with beef was pretty good. My son loved it. Beef was very tender. Tofu with fish was pretty good as well. I'd suggest with thinner slices of fish to be more flavorful. Love the tofu in it. We asked for the mild version. Will be back as again, hopefully soon."
"The food is always great! The service is spot on. I can't recommend this place enough. The art work is cool as well. If you have children, get the popcorn shrimp. You won't regret it."
"Brigs is a decent place for breakfast. The Creedmoor location is smaller than expected so that explains the large waiting area in the front. Service was mostly ok but I never got a refill on my tea like the rest of the table so that was odd. I ordered the Brigs Benedict and that came with grits or potatoes and I went with the grits but ended up with both instead. The eggs were cooked properly with runny yolks. The meal was filling enough without either side. The grits were cold so I didn't eat either side. I did like the tomatoes and included fruit. I'd eat here again but it wouldn't be my first choice."
"CASH ONLY. Letting non-local diners know since I don't carry an ATM card myself and luckily the Hubs had the cash or I would have ended up washing dishes! Lol. This is a good old-fashioned diner with many local patrons serving up Southern hospitality at its finest. I ordered the 2 egg breakfast with sausage patty, grits (of course) and biscuits. This was my first time I ever tried red eye gravy. Think of it as a savory salty unami flavor similar to coconut amino acids. A light sprinkling of it on grits was perfect. We had not just one fluffy biscuit but two per order! Enough to take home and it still tastes great the next morning. Plus, we tried the fatbacks which are similar to pork rinds. Yum! Our sweet server Tanya poured out the Southern hospitality like molasses over hot cakes! We never had an empty cup of coffee during our breakfast here. We felt so welcome here in Raleigh and here at Pam's. Definitely ask for Tanya if you're visiting here.Parking in the lot."
"Wings and a half rack of ribs tonight for dinner. Definitely close to A-OK with the Buffalo Hot wings that were decently meaty but swimming in sauce.The ribs were good. A little overdone and the sauce was too sweet.The restaurant was clean and the service was good. It's important to point out that they do have parking, which in this part of town is a good thing. But I'm not sure if I would choose them again.[Review 11855 overall, 1637 of 2019.]"
"A nice local Italian place in Burlington. We went Friday evening a little before 8pm and they quoted us a 20 minute wait, but we were seated in less than 5 minutes.They have their normal menu and daily specials. My husband ordered the daily special of Tuscan steak tortellini and I ordered lasagna from the menu. Both meals came with salad and garlic bread. The bread definitely needs to be improved and my lasagna was decent. However, the Tuscan steak tortellini dish needs to be on the menu full-time. It was absolutely amazing and my only regret was not ordering it too.Service was top notch and our server checked on us and made sure we always had drinks and our water refilled."
"TLDR: Beautiful shop full of neat, organized German treats.I've tried their products before at the Triangle Oktoberfest and passed by the bakery in the past. I finally planned a trip to the bakery. I parked right out front and was greeted upon entering. The store is spacious with ample seating and natural light. The large display case is neatly organized with a variety of German treats. Everything is labeled with the name of the item and price. After looking at all the mouthwatering options, I chose the apfel kuchen, Black Forest cookie, and blueberry turnover. Although not as flavorful as I hoped, the Black Forest cookie was good. It would have been better if paired with coffee or tea, which they do sell. I gave the other treats to coworkers and they loved them! In the past I have tried the pretzels and pfeffernusse cookies, which were good, but a bit dry and the pfeffernusse had too much cinnamon for my taste. Similar to the cookie, the pfeffernusse would have been better if paired with coffee or tea. It is pricy, yet comparable to similar bakeries in Cary. They also sell some alcoholic beverages. Overall, these German desserts make a lovely gift or occasional treat."
"It's a market as well as a grill type restaurant. So you can go there to eat and they have a small sitting area that you can eat your food at when you order, or you can go to shop. It's majority grocery store though so don't make it seem like it's a restaurant when you envision this place. But at the same time, you have plenty of seats indoors and outdoors to sit.They have all types of other things to look at and buy like hookah accessories and tea sets. So it's worth shopping just to browse If nothing else as you wait for your food. I tried the chicken shawarma in the beef shawarma sandwiches. I thought that the sandwiches were good. The chicken really did me right, the beef was okay, it got a little bit chewy but it still had a pretty good flavor to it. I probably will stick with the chicken if I were going to go back though!Be careful of the lunch rush because you will be waiting in line if you don't! A lot of the lunch brush would consist of lunch goers as well as a lot of door dash people so just be aware that you may have to wait a bit because of that.There's outdoor seating when the weather permits. There isn't much of a view when you get outside to sit because it's just facing the street but if You wanted to go ahead and try to be outside and catch a breeze This was a good place and they gave it the opportunity to do that.They have a olive bar so if you want to try some different olives there you can, and there are a lot of them to pick from so it wouldn't hurt to try.Even at the part where they have the restaurant they still have meats that you could try. You can actually buy it from there because it is a store as well as a restaurant.The parking lot is a little bit of a type squeeze so just be aware, but at least it's free!"

Good lunch today! Stopped for a quick bite at one of my favorite regional restaurant chains - Smithfield's. Enjoyed some BBQ and some chicken, served hot, fresh and fast. I'd also note that no matter which location I visit as I travel through their service area - I also find they have some of the best, warm hearted folks and today was no exception.Restrooms, dining area and kitchen are always clean too.

I trekked out to Clayton to visit a friend for a girls' weekend, so obviously we were craving some good Chinese food (and lots of it!). Wok & Grill definitely didn't disappoint! After ordering enough food to feed the entire roster of a Little League team, we dug into the deliciousness. Portions were large and so flavorful! We ordered the large boneless spare ribs appetizer and dang they aren't messing around! This container was filled to the brim with flavorful spare ribs; we barely made a dent in them. The crab rangoons had the perfect amount of scallions (I like more than the average person) whipped into the cream cheese. Luckily we had the foresight to order 2 orders so we could snack on some on the ride back...Fast forward to a few quarts of adult beverages later and we still had a TON of food left, definitely hit the spot and kept us satisfied whilst the drunchies set in. We snagged a menu because folks, we will be back!

Off the charts awesome sushi - if you're a fan of sushi (and you likely are if you're eating here) go all-in and have Omakase. The Chef will set the course starting with lighter items and advancing to heavier flavors. The sushi itself was 'melt-in-your-mouth' delicious. The service is fast & friendly; the environment casual & hip. I'd recommend reservations - this spot seems very popular and rightfully so.

Placed a lunch order online and picked up earlier than they estimated. My first time at a Chinese place, I always get Hunan Chicken, steamed rice. And an egg roll. It's always a good sign when the hot sauce is that hot crispy oil in the small plastic container. It smelled so good in the car, I ate it in the parking lot. Man the broccoli and veggies were cooked perfectly and the chicken was decadent and quite flavorful. Given the "hole in the wall" nature of this place, I was not expecting food THIS good. The egg roll was flaky and flavorful as well. As I sat eating in the parking lot, there was a steady stream of patron entering and exiting. Great job Beansprout! I'll definitely be back.
Visit Restaurant Page"Today was the first time I tried this place. I received a flyer in the mail with the menu and specials and it did not disappoint! It was delicious! From the time that I spoke with the girl to place my order for pick up, was very sweet, to the time my coworker picked up our food, the whole experience was fantastic and we will definitely be having lunch from there again. I had the Club Sub, it was packed with all the meats, cheese and veggies and I also got a cannoli. My goodness that thing was crispy, the cream was homemade and i could not get over how delicious it was. I definitely recommend this place!"
"Local bar/wing place. Tried it because my family was in the mood for wings and this was the closest place where we were at the time. Took a while for someone to come to hostess stand and take our order but when she did, she was pleasant. The ambiance is your typical bar with TV's. It's rather dark but everyone that was there while I waited for my to-go order seemed to be having a good time.The wings were great! They were seasoned well and the portions were a good amount. We have since placed another order and again happy with the sauce flavor and the amount of heat on spicy choices."
"Jimmy's been around for Years Folks!!! The locals know where to go for some good Hotdogs/Burgers!!! Yes I do love those chili dogs and onion rings!! Now for that price better get several and take home for the family on Mondays and Thursdays!!!"
"We were searching for a quick bite in between parades. The location was about the only thing I found to be good. It was pretty crowded on a Saturday afternoon, seemed promising that locals approve. We ordered quickly as we were on a time limit. 2 slices of cheese pizza for me, a slice for my granddaughter and hubs got an Italian sub. It took over 45 min to get our food. Ok, they were busy so can forgive the delay, but the pizza was flavorless. Like zero. Would have been better off with frozen. 2 stars cuz hubs did enjoy his sub but fries he got came out cold and soggy. Pizza Amore in wf is much better choice!"
"Enjoyed a footlong philly cheesesteak sub. The onions and peppers were finely chopped up and complimented the sandwich. Unlike another review I can attest the meat us not ground beef."
"I am a huge fan of the common market in any city! I'm happy to have found one in Durham. Thankfully they have a parking lot and plenty of room to sit inside between two floors. They are also open every day, all day. You can't beat that. The atmosphere is really cool and unique inside too. So far since discovering it here two days ago I've had a turkey croissant sandwich with pepper jack, avocado smash, red onions, and garlic mayo, and I've also had the breakfast sandwich of the month which was eggs, cheddar, arugula, red onion, and your choice of sausage (I chose turkey) on a croissant. I could eat the breakfast sandwich every day, it was perfect. They have a long preset list of sandwiches/wraps or you can build your own, which I always do. Also note that breakfast items stop at 11. You can order ahead or you can order in store. I found that I prefer ordering online to avoid a wait. They have options for everybody here- and very many vegan meat options. The prices are fair and the food is good. They have a bunch of snacks, drinks, candy, and a freezer full of items. I also bought a curry carrot ginger soup which was made from a coconut broth. Yum."
"My pizza was delicious. Excellent customer service and the delivery driver was awesome. I will order from here again."
"As a Californian, it's so hard to be impressed with sushi in many other states, but this place was AMAZING! I love that they had both pho and sushi options and everything was so tasty and authentic tasting. Prices are also quite reasonable. I definitely recommend this place for anyone craving Asian fusion."
"What a gem in Raleigh! Love the history of this place and that the interior totally reflects the history and wasn't just totally cleared out. When in for an early-ish breakfast on a Sunday and there were not many people there. The waitress was super friendly and the service was great. I got their french toast, but it wasn't my favorite. I think they shine with the typical diner style breakfast dishes. The eggs and corned beef hash was spot on and definitely something I'd get again. The food came out hot and fresh!"
"Great fast service. barbecue was fresh and flavorful. I could eat a handful of hush puppies! The fried chicken is very crispy and juicy. Also, love the sweet tea."
"If you're searching for a fast-food dinner that doesn't taste like fast food, look no further than Smithfield's. We were regular customers at the Hwy 42 store, and were happy to find one just over yonder when we moved to our new home in Goldsboro last week. Hot, tired, cranky and hungry, it was great to get the next best thing to home cookin'!Smithfield's serves up fresh, crispy fried chicken, hush puppies, pulled pork, Brunswick Stew, potato salad, baked beans - all the best southern homestyle for a reasonable price. There's a plate or a family sized-box sure to cure your hungries, and it tastes like your mama's or grandma's best Sunday dinner. Customer service is outstanding, and they'll make you feel like family at every visit. I've never had a bad experience anytime, anywhere - they'll meet your standards no matter which store you walk into. If you're having a party, unexpected company, having a bad day and need comfort food, or are just too tired to cook, Smithfield's Chicken and 'cue can take care of you. I highly recommend the Tailgate Special with Bar-B-Q; it feeds the four of us with plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. Their pulled pork is Carolina classic, and so is the Brunswick Stew. Enjoy, and bring your appetite."
"Sean's Shack was my dining choice after a rock cracked my windshield on my way to Note in the Pocket. I had never been there before but remember hearing rave reviews and I was looking for good food.You have a choice of drive thru; dine in or ordering to go at the counter. I opted for to go as I wanted to get started on my insurance claim. But next time I will want to dine in as I liked the decor and vibe.I was immediately welcomed when I entered and asked if I wanted dine in or to go. They are locally owned so that is a plus. The menu has a variety of items. There is breakfast foods until 2pm or they have burgers; hot dogs; chicken and salads.The burgers start at $3.50 and you can make it a combo. I got a double; fries and upgraded to a milkshake and my total was much less than a fast food place. The food is so so much better than fast food. There is no comparison. When my order was ready, it was brought out to me and not just handed over the counter and got a suggestion where I could get my windshield repaired. The service here is top notch.I will be back to try one of the specialty burgers."
