Cook Out - Mebane

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (33)

"Good selection of options. We would go back but it's fast food so it has those fast food issues. The fries are probably the worst. I always ask for it to be crispy, multiple times, they'll say okay, multiple times, and it comes out raw and soggy. Every time! Never fails. I realize they want to be quick but no one is this planet likes soggy or cold friends. Their burgers are good though."

El Rey del Taco

★★★★☆ 4.4 (28)

"Amazing! Our company was kind enough to bring us this truck for a recent lunch and all of us were blown away by the quality, taste and quantity.Do know that as great as the tacos are (that I saw and heard about)...they also offer burritos and my personal recommendation...the chicken fajitas! (see pic)...oh so flavorful chicken with peppers and onions and their green hot sauce is phenomenal. I have passed by this truck on Capital Blvd many times and have now learned that passing it by is a mistake. STOP and enjoy!"

NC Bagel Cafe & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.5 (88) • $

"Bottom line: Breakfast at NC Bagel & Deli was not bad but not over the top. Adequate Meat Lovers omelet but a good bagel accompanying it. The Deets:I stopped in for breakfast one day at NC Bagel Cafe & Deli, located in the Grace Park complex in Morrisville. When you walk in for breakfast, it is more like a bagel shop and short order kitchen/grill type of restaurant put together. Their hours on their website currently display at the time of this writing open each day 7am-1pm. I decided to take advantage of both sides by ordering one of their omelet selections that included a toasted bagel with it. I ordered the Meat Lovers omelet that menu online describes "Made with 3 eggs, Sausage, Ham & Bacon Served with Bagel Or Bread" so I chose a plain bagel which was toasted with butter. Service ordering at the counter was good, I had to repeat a couple of things but went OK and then waited for my order that was for dining in to come up so I could carry it back to one of their tables. My order was up in good time, no long wait. The omelet was OK, nothing extravagant but I have to note that the sausage, ham, and bacon meat bits were sprinkled on top of the omelet instead of inside or mixed within it (I say bits, as they were not large pieces of meat but did the job for giving the meat flavor for the omelet, see pic). It was a short order type omelet that did the job. I do like the plain bagel I had with it, and would probably have one again with a cream cheese schmear next time. This quick breakfast did the trick and if wanting a quick short order breakfast and don't feel like going to a fast food place to get it then come here and get your fast breakfast fix."

Char Grill Nine

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (29)

"I'd not been to a Char Grill before so after my shopping trip to Harris Teeter it seemed like a good day to stop. I went to the drive thru which looking back might not have been the best idea as I wasn't familiar with the menu but thankfully the menu was small and I could order quickly. I went with the double and made a combo. I customized it to have tomatoes and lettuce with the cheese. They were generous with the toppings but the tomato slices weren't ripe so that is my only disappointment here. The burger was delicious and the fries were some of the best I ever had. Somehow those fries stayed hot the whole drive home too. The prices are more expensive than other places but when you are looking for something a little better than typical fast food this is your place. The service was very friendly and my order was prepared as ordered. The sanitation score was high too so that is important to me."

Shake Shack Village District

★★★★☆ 3.5 (17)

"I'm a Shake Shack fan and this was my first visit to the Village District location. I went on a weeknight and it wasn't very busy. I placed my order online ahead of time and while it was a few minutes late, it was hot and correct. My family and I ended up eating outside on one of their sidewalk tables. They had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating while we were there. My son loved the bacon and avocado cheeseburger, while I always opt for the traditional Shack burger. Sometimes simple is just the best! I like their fries, I don't love them. I also do thoroughly enjoy their shakes and love how they have different special flavors every month. Overall a solid spot to grab a burger and order online if you are hoping to cut down on some of the wait!"

Aubreys and Peedies Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (38)

"I enjoyed the double cheeseburger. However, I didn't appreciate seeing the servers touch the burgers and fries with bare hands. "Hands are not sterile. Touch your own food at home, not the customers' food. Wear gloves, if necessary!" There was a long waiting line outside; the locals love this place. The staff were friendly."

Pure Soul

★★★★★ 4.9 (199) • $$

"Pure Soul is pure genius!!! The best vegan restaurant I have ever enjoyed! I am having fried fish today with their Bilbo's greens and kale Caesar salad. I am also enjoying a side of fries and a piece of fried chicken. I am starving!They season their food well. Their Arnold Palmer is the best proportions! Textures are on point!Congratulations on being voted #1 YELP Restaurant in the Carolinas!"

New Tokyo

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (19)

"Brand new location, the food was FRESH, and all of the sauces were available, although the ginger was a bit watery. The other locations tend to not even replace mustard sauce when it runs out but as long as they continue the standard of stocking and cooking with fresh ingredients, I'll make this New Tokyo my new go-to for fast-food Japanese style.I ordered the Hibachi Shrimp entree, with one scoop of rice replaced with zucchini (the other locations normally tell me I can't change it out/so I was happy)I'll definitely be back!"

Firehouse Subs

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (44) • $

"Best sandwiches in Johnston County! Their menu offers choices to please anyone, with just about every kind of meat to tickle your tastebuds. I really like their beef and cheddar sandwich with barbecue sauce! Get 'em hot or cold, and in small or large sizes, and be sure to add a bag of delicious kettle chips. Service is fast and friendly. The store and its bathrooms are very clean and roomy. As the name suggests, you're also supporting your firefighters and first responders.Great for lunch or dinner, or takeout for a party."

Bojangles

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (19) • $

"I'm not much of a breakfast eater but I decided to get a biscuit. The staff was as friendly as any I have ever experienced. I was greeted with "It's BO TIME!!"Their biscuit recipe is too salty for my taste, but it was good.If I lived nearby I would go back."

Vegan Community Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.6 (155) • $$

"I ordered online through their website. The order was ready in twenty minutes. When I arrived I was greeted with two smiling faces. It felt like home. Did I want to try a new menu item, their burrito bowl launching next week? Did I see that they had posted Ethiopian dishes on the menu, too? The decorations matched the owners' kind, bright and sunny moods. I ordered the three bean salad and a Kitchen burger and they gave me a sample of the new menu item, the burrito bowl, to-go. My husband ate all my three bean salad and he also loved the burrito bowl. We are excited for the new owners who are helping to strengthen the plant-based community. I can't wait to make this a habit."

Pollo Campero

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (43) • $

"Pollo Campero is an absolute gem in Raleighwood. It slightly reminds me of Pollo Tropical in FL because it's the only place I've ever known to be able to get maduros (sweet plantains) in the drive thru. Both the fried chicken and grilled chicken are juicy and cooked to perfection, but the grilled is my favorite because it has a limey taste. Their empanadas are also great because they aren't too heavy. They remind me of a light version of a cream cheese wonton, but with chicken, corn, and cheese and a lighter shell. I also love the campero rice and beans. The 20 piece value meal is also something you can't beat. After tax it comes to $50ish bucks but you get 20 pieces of chicken (I would recommend asking for half fried and half grilled), 4 sides, and bread. My one star dock is for service because I used the drive thru and although they were fast, they forgot to include the bread rolls im my family value meal."

Subway

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (19) • $

"One of the better subway locations I've been to. The staff was friendly, ingredients were fresh, and sandwiches were prepared in a timely and neat manner. Interior was fairly standard and clean."

Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls

★★★★☆ 4 (217) • $$

"Located in the North Hills shopping near the Renaissance hotel and next to Bar taco sits this lobster roll restaurant. Yes, it's pricy but hey, it's lobster! The roll was very good and the lobster was delicious! The tater tots way too salty for my taste. Several seats indoors and a few outside seats, you order at the front and they bring the food to you. It's very similar to Cousins, the food truck but I think a bit more lobster stuffed in the roll."

Wings Over Raleigh

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (80) • $$$

"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.]"

Ta Contento - Mex Fresh Food

★★★★★ 4.5 (14)

"Just to get a few things out of the way:* It's "gas station adjacent" - situated in an unfortunate former BK literally inside of a gas station building.* they have a truck, but this is not the truck. Also it's not a chain. * it's more expensive than hole-in-the-wall taquerias - entrees are in the $14 range.Having said all that - the food is EXCELLENT. Everything is cooked to order. I had quesabirria tacos, and my wife had chicken soup that had tons of fresh avocado in it."

The Dankery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (41)

"I had the hot chicken plate with fries shrimp and a loaded sauce on top. This food was so dang good. It was worth the wait. Waited for a long time not gonna lie try ordering ahead because honestly waiting here sucked once I got my food though I was so happy, it was some of the best food I've ever had while being out here and I really want it before I go this place was dank like in the name. Everyone enjoyed their food and definitely clean their plates. I'm happy I came here."

Chick-fil-A

★★★★☆ 3.8 (16)

"I really like this location. It's brand new, not overly crowded, and all of the workers are very friendly. I always place my order online via the app and you can either pick up your order inside or at the drive-thru."

Chicken Bee - Raleigh

★★★★★ 4.7 (11)

"Crunchy and flavorful! For anyone new to Korean chicken, expect to wait for your chicken order. It's not a quick service fast food joint. Korean fried chickens, if done right, are all made by order. So your chicken is going to be hot and fresh.There are plenty of seating for small to large groups. I hope to see a lunch special one day."

Burger Barn

★★★★☆ 4.2 (21)

"My annual go to spot when I'm traveling through North Carolina. On my most recent stop here I had been working a photography run on US-158 with another photographer and said "Hey, I know where we're going for lunch". We pulled into the gravel parking lot and walked up to the counter. I already knew what I wanted while my friend looked over the menu. We both ended up getting Bacon Cheeseburgers and Onion Rings with a soda. My burger was as good as it always is and my friend was duly impressed with his a well. I did notice the onion rings had changed since last year. Previously when I had them they were hand made. These appeared to have been frozen from a bad. They were still good. I love to slather my onion rings in mustard and that's exactly what I did. I'm looking forward to another visit at Burger Barn soon. Real soon, in fact right after everything is back to business as normal I'll be taking a trip down to Lewiston, NC. Guess what's on the way!!!"

Crossroads Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (21)

"This little drive-in in has some pretty solid food - burgers, hot dogs, and fries especially. And they sell a lot of burgers and hot dogs, not an easy task when your competition is Johnson's Drive-In and Chris' Drive-In. They have no inside seating, but some outside tables are available, and you order at the drive through or a walk up window.The hot dog here is especially nice - and on an advertising sign between Pittsboro and Siler City, the restaurant proudly proclaims their hot dog is the best in the area - I don't agree with that statement (Johnson's is better, and Chris' is at least as good). But is is a very nice chili dog.The cheeseburger is solid, as well, but it is not in Johnson's class - and for a diner style burger, no one else is in that class either! The fries are very good, none of the ridged, rectangular mess. They also serve breakfast, but I've not tried anything on that menu. You could do much worse than pop in here for a chili dog or two, especially if Johnson's is closed, and they close at 2 PM."

Jimmy John's

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (7)

"Great fast fresh reliable sandwiches.. The favorites with double meat are my favs.Love the place."

Jersey Boy Subs

★★★★☆ 4.2 (33)

"This sub shop was really good. They have a lot of options, my husband and I both chose a half Jersey Boy! Club and my mom chose a half meatball sub. All subs come straight up, that includes lettuce, onion, tomato, salt, Jersey Juice and spices. I also added mayo and honey mustard. The meat was thinly sliced and all of the subs were tasty. I liked that they had Miss Vickie's chips too, I chose sea salt. If you are in the area, check this spot out."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (21)

"I wonder if the owner if this location realizes how poorly it performs compared to other locations? As written in my review four months ago, this place is dirty. The soda fountain dispenser tray must have been clogged as the entire counter was covered in cola. As I was leaving, I overheard a customer being told it would be 20 minutes until they had more white sub rolls. So at 5:30 Saturday evening they have no bread at a sub shop? Nuff said."

Hardee's

★★☆☆☆ 1.7 (12)

"I have been giving this Hardee's a chance for a few months now. It has been fairly good. The people working there aren't too friendly. We only eat breakfast foods here. But today was not so good. I ordered a sausage biscuit with egg and a biscuit with gravy. I kid you not, 2 tiny pieces of sausage in the gravy, that's it! The biscuit on the sausage and egg biscuit was so dark and it was awful tasting. Whoever packaged that biscuit should be ashamed of themselves. I would never give that out to a customer. I'm not sure I will be returning. Do better Hardee's!"

Shake Shack Waverly Place

★★★★☆ 3.6 (264) • $$

"I haven't been here in a while and heard about the chicken sandwich so decided to give it a try on a Sunday afternoon. Got the regular chicken sandwich and a sunset lemonade. Both were very good and I would get both again. The piece of chicken was bigger than the bun and very good. I like the condiment and shredded lettuce and pickles on it. Really makes a nice sandwich. The service was good both at the register and the young man who brought the food. The place was clean and the drink station was clean and well maintained. That's where the napkins and ketchup are too. Drinks are self serve except for tea....you have to go up and ask for it. The music is very loud and I imagine with a lot of people in the room it would be hard to hear anyone at your table. They have outdoor seating but it was not a good day for it. Maybe it's quieter out there. They have computers set up where you can order but you have to use a card to pay."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (7)

"We love Jersey Mike's! Being a Jersey girl, that's my only hoagie choice! The Italian Mike's way is the only way!"

Cali Beast Burger

★★★★☆ 3.8 (19)

"The best burgers! We're from San Diego and while it's not In N Out, it's the closest to it around! They even have the peppers! Service is always good, burgers are made to order so expect at least 5 minutes in the drive thru. We love that they have zucchini fries too!"

Dank Burrito

★★★★☆ 3.9 (78)

"I had a bowl with pork belly and chicken. The food at Dank is delicious. Very fresh. The staff is welcoming and does a great job fulfilling orders quickly without interfering with the freshness. The ordering counter was clean and well stocked with items needed for your order."

The Gyro Spot

★★★★☆ 4.3 (64) • $$

"100.0 health score as of June 2024 woohoo. They do have souvlaki with an option of getting it on a kebab or in a pita. I ordered the chicken souvlaki in a pita and it was delicious. I also tried the avgolemono soup which was delicious. I like that the baklava price is for a full square, not just a triangle half."

Highway 55 Burgers Shakes & Fries

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (13)

"I am giving 3 stars because the fries were excellent. My cheesesteak had a lot of meat, but the bun had the texture that happens when a bun is microwaved. My wife's chicken sandwich was mediocre, what little chicken there was, was very dry. The service was questionable. While waiting for the order, a customer spilled a coke at the cash register so our order sat for at least 5 minutes while the mess was being cleaned up, though the clerk certainly could have taken the few seconds needed to hand us the order. We probably wont return."

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (13)

"Brand new location. There's plenty of parking spaces & 2 drive thru lines. I went through the drive thru and ordered a classic sandwich itself. The order taker wasn't friendly. It was ok because I just wanted my food and the line was pretty quick being that I got there not long after they opened. I got to the window to pay and get my food. The cashier was friendly and asked me if I wanted water because that sandwich was "thick". She was being funny, which I appreciated because the order taker was the polar opposite. I declined the water, and went to park to eat my sandwich. I was sad to see that my sandwich was NOT fresh and was cold. The meat was like rubber. Why?? It was a little after 11 am, so it shouldn't have been old like that. I didn't feel like going inside. So, I just threw it away. Next time, I will pay more attention and check it before I pull off."

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

★★★★☆ 3.7 (34) • $$

"This is my second time eating Raising Cane's and it didn't disappoint. Popular spot for UNC students as it's walking distance from campus. Food came out in less than 10 minutes. For some reason the chicken seemed less crispy than last time but it was still yummy nonetheless. The fries I could probably pass on but the Texas toast always is a 10/10. Feel kind of guilty I didn't choose to eat at a local mom and pop shop but the closest Cane's to me is Times Square and I don't go there unless I'm seeing a Broadway show."

Wings Over Chapel Hill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (98) • $

"First time trying this franchise, and I was impressed. The wings were perfectly cooked and crispy, and the level 2 hot wings were the perfect heat level for me. The dry rub was my favorite, and the price was reasonable for the quality. I also appreciate that they're open late until 1 a.m."

Subway

★★☆☆☆ 1.6 (13) • $

"Always clean and well-stocked. Friendly service and well-made sandwiches. It's Subway after all so I'm not expecting the freshest produce ever, but sometimes you can really tell that sandwich toppings were previously frozen. However, sandwich artists are willing to seek out freshest looking toppings in the bucket if prompted. Satisfies my pregnancy craving for their pickles, so meets my needs for now. Solid Subway restaurant overall."
