“Solid BBQ, one star off because I feel they're skimpy on the meat portions. I ordered the 2 meat plate with brisket and ribs. Received 1-1/2 slices of brisket and 2 ribs. The baked beans were terrific and the mac & cheese was very good. Great staff also.“
“Absolutely outstanding food. The ribs fell off the bone and were incredibly flavorful even without the sauce. but the pernil and black beans... I could probably eat those everyday for the next year and not get tired of those. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and incredibly well cooked. Cannot recommend highly enough!“
“Such a cool location for a brewery. Large outdoor area set well off from the bar for the kiddos, plenty of lounge seating outside under a covered patio with heaters, fans, and TVs. Chill atmosphere and very homey decor.The beer itself started off a little rough, but within a few months they've really hit their stride and are releasing banger after banger. Keep an eye out for their barrel aged stouts and Yellow Submarine Hazy IPA, they really impressed this snob.“
“Me and my fiancé are in Raleigh visiting ! Decided to google best tacos in Raleigh and we chose this place . I want to start out by saying the food is top notch and service !!!! If anyone is in Raleigh definitely stop there to eat !!!!!Kid-friendliness: Not only Mexican but kid friendly !!! Chicken tenders and burgers !!!!“
“Amazing food. The Ruben is almost unmatched. Great home town atmosphere and family run shop. Can be a bit busy at times but absolutely worth the wait. Seating available inside as well as out back for some fresh air. No better sandwich shop around.“
“** Long Post Warning** OOHHHHH MYYYYYY GOOOOOODDDDDDD! Outside of Texas I have never had such delicious barbecue. The brisket will have you crying like a baby and the I house made pimento cheese sausage is crazy! The bbq rice is perfect and the pork bbq is ridiculous and flavor packed to the last bite. The whole staff is pretty much Military Veterans and you can see and hear them working together to make sure service is quick and seamless. The best barbecue place in NC hands down. Each year he honors active duty and military veterans with free food for the whole family. Most places that do military meals only give it to the military person and it's usually a lunch size portion of 3-4 options on a limited menu. Not at Prime. You get the same options and portions for free as you would if you paid. I have a family of 6 so imagine what kind of bill we usually have. To have that paid for and get the quality of food we get is mind blowing. Prime has a special table that can be reserved by veterans or active duty that seats 8-10 people and it's awesome. The owner Christopher Prieto is the most genuine and humble man on earth. My wife sat down to eat one day and he seen my Navy Veteran shirt. He asked me if he could sit down and thanked me for my service and just started talking to me and my wife like we knew each other all our lives. I knew I seen his face before and then I realized he was on Food Networks Chopped in the barbecue championship representing NC. My family is a family of faith and so is he. He talked to us about how God gave him his vision and his purpose for the restaurant and how he uses proceeds to help veterans and families in need have meals and basic necessities as his way of showing the love of the Lord. I cannot say enough about this place. My wife and I go every chance we get.“
“Slowly becoming a "not so hidden" gem in North Raleigh. Exquisite wine and beer selection. The welcoming atmosphere is the complete package: knowledgeable and attentive bartenders, oodles of TV's... just a generally sociable place. Love the new outdoor seating as well!“
“Very nice place to grab a pint with friends. They turned an old house into a tavern, which gives it a homey feeling. The beer selection is from their brewery as well as some guest taps. As for their beer, they do a nice job with several different styles to choose from. While they did offer a 4 flight, it was limited to a promotion they were having. Would have been nice to be able to flight some of their other taps. However, they do let you have samples of their taps, so that helps. They are pet friendly, inside and out, so that is nice. First time there, but it won't be my last.“
“This is my go-to coffee shop whenever I'm in the area. The staff is incredibly friendly and the service is fast. But the real star of the show is the Honey Bee Latte. It's seriously the best latte I've ever had - perfectly sweet and creamy with a delicious hint of honey. I highly recommend checking this place out!“
“Yum that’s all … that’s it . This place will remind you of going to the beach and getting some ice cream right when u step up into the boardwalk . There are no frills and only outdoor seating but the shaved ice is amazing it’s not too slushy and it still has that crunch … I cannot live without the crunch !!! Love it I’ll deff be back“
“We hired El Rey del Taco for our wedding rehearsal dinner and they were amazing!! The tacos were delicious and all our guests loved them! We had them come to our venue and it made the rehearsal dinner run smoothly so we could all stay in one place. Jorge and Maria were easy to work with and the staff was all very friendly! We highly recommend them!!“
“I wouldve shared a picture of what i ordered but it didnt make it ?. The smoothies are great, I LOVE how they have combos and a very well organized store , menu and online view and presentation of their shop! Everything is categorized in case you are looking to try a certain thing. Customer service overall was great! As a first time customer I felt very comfortable. I love their positive attitude. Positive vibess . I love it . They help with any questions & have various options ! This is the best nutrition i’ve been in all North Carolina ! Literally .“
“Wow the food was amazing! I love Nigerian food although I haven't had it in years. I found this spot on Google and skeptically tried it out. The guy promised me I would be back and I definitely will be. The food was tasty and the portion size was worth the money. I had Jolif rice w/ bang bang shrimp, collards, Mac n cheese. Also had some spinach stew everything was AMAZING! I'm stuffed right now.. Definitely worth the try.“
“Our first time here - we’ll return for sure with the grandkids.Great ice cream at great prices. Some fun equipment for kids to play on.Beware - not all GPS systems get you there precisely. Some get close but not quite. Google maps was best“
“Saw this place out of the corner of my eye today after having never noticed it over the years (it's a little tucked away). Stopped in on a whim because I like checking out local spots. The place is cozy and casual, with friendly staff and the chili and grilled cheese combo was quite good. I'll be back for the ribs sometime soon.“
“Great place!!!! We went a bit late on a Sunday. However, they had a jumping caste and corn hole for the kids. Our fur baby also had a great time.The beer speaks for itself and is always a crowd favorite! I am definitely going to try our their nog and Bourbon next time.“
“Our server was super sweet and attentive. Everything we had was delicious. We tried the crab cake, fried flounder, ahi tuna, stuffed scallops, fried shrimp, fries, hush puppies, and green beans. Everything came out quickly, and we had plenty left to bring home.“
“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“
“Went to dairy depot as a family this past week. My kids ordered ice cream cones and I ordered the birthday cake train wreck. No one in the drive through line and service was quick. Portions are huge and very affordable. And the taste...man it was incredible. I think I found my new favorite ice cream shop in Wake Forest. We will certainly return.“

“Great time here on trivia night (I won ). Drinks are delicious and if you're hungry, you can have food from a food truck or order something to be delivered. Very friendly staff and great place to hang out. Highly recommend as a local place to meet up and socialize.“
“Stopped by Tonic Bar and Social Club in downtown Wake Forest recently and absolutely loved the vibe! It's a quaint spot that feels just right for unwinding with an evening drink during the week. They've got a decent beer selection that's sure to hit the spot whether you're a casual drinker or a bit of a connoisseur. Definitely a gem in the area for those looking to escape the usual hustle and bustle. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to chill out in a cozy setting with a good in hand.“
“The food is so good. It is well made and the flavors are robust. You get to choose your combinations for seafood which is nice. The dessert, I question, as I did not like it, but everything else including appetizers was good. Nice servers and greeters. Our food came quickly as well. The atmosphere is unique but nice. There is ample parking and it's free. Thanks for reading.“
“Overall, best pizza my family ? and I have had thus far in the Wake Forest area. We ordered a traditional large cheese pizza ? The undercarriage was thin, light, and crispy! Hardly no flop, held well. Good balance of cheese vs sauce. My only critiqué to achieve perfection would be a bit more flavor and less greasy but overall a good bite ? Worth trying out if in the area.“
“We went Saturday 03/30/2024 and the service was awesome. We had a young lady wait on us. I think her name was Jennifer (not sure) but she kept my boyfriends drink cup full and it never went under half way. Which is a good thing because he drinks alot. We got the buffet and we were surprised at what kinds of food was on the buffet. Everything was clean and neat. We definitely will be coming back!“
“Really loving my Philly cheesesteak from the Gatsby food truck while sipping my glass of red wine. Understated and IMO under appreciated little spot. Fun for a group game night, quiet conversation on the couch, or game of pool. Not over the top and the vibe is very relaxed and chill.“
“Probably one of my most favorite hispanic restaurants in the area. They have a huge variety of meats, and their gorditas are to DIE for. If I could give them six starts I would! The food is excellent and always comes out consistently in taste and appearance.“
“We went there on a Sunday afternoon. The place was empty, maybe because it was too early. We ordered some drinks $4 mimosas on Sundays. You can play darts for free, and they also have a pool table, board games, and cards. We enjoyed our time hanging out, playing some games, and having drinks. There are a lot of paintings on the wall for sale. We'll be back again.“
“I was slightly flabbergasted when I went to the counter and realized the employee was lacking in clothes. I ended up closing my eyes and I got an apple danish that was priced well. I just hope that they are following all the health and safety regulations.“
“Today was my first time going to Goodberry's, and the experience was amazing. The custard was almost as good as the customer service from one worker there. I walk up to the window to see the nicest man greet me with a smile. He had the softest dirty blond hair and the cutest glasses. His beard was so nice and fit his face perfectly. He spoke in a soothing monotone voice as he took my order; I felt right at home. He made my order for me, a mini blueberry with cheesecake, with elegance as if he were an angel. When he handed me my concrete, our hands collided. His grasp around the cup was so firm yet tender. The custard was pretty good too.“
“Best steak and cheese on a hoagie roll I've eaten in years! The server was amazing! She even let me use her phone to pull up the menu. My hubby had the hot pastrami, which was also delicious. The reason why I gave it 4, not 5, stars was a mixture of the 2 Louder than necessary men and the price overall. Fries (although served in a cute little basket) and a sandwich for 2 people shouldn't cost $50.“
“Not only was our food great (I got the Elk Sausage w/ tots and my grandmother got the BLT w/ fries, but we had a very special customer service experience! As we were leaving, an employee (maybe the owner or manager) overheard me tell my grandma where to wait while I went and pulled the car up. She waited with my grandma and even helped her to the curb where I was waiting with the car. Her kindness is something we will remember for a long time!“
“San Jose is one of the staples in my Tacos and Tequilas Tuesdays rotation. If you decide to visit San Jose, you won't have any regrets..especially if you try the tacos, wings, fajitas, and any of the drinks. The service is always helpful, attentive, and friendly. In addition to our main server, we have observed the manager walk around and ask how patrons are enjoying their visit. It's the little things like this that encourages me to return again and again. If you live in or are visiting Wake Forest/North Raleigh and you are looking for a place to let your hair down after a rough day/week and want some tasty tacos, rice, and refried beans, don't think twice about visiting San Jose. Everything we have ordered has been good. Our food always comes to the table hot and looking very appealing. They say "we eat with our eyes." Above all, the taste never disappoints. The ambience is also date-appropriate. Snuggle up with your date and a nice cocktail. You will not be disappointed. Happy Eating!“
“Best restaurant in Raleigh and has an experienced staff! Been going 15 years and it just keeps getting better. I have referred dozens of people to BELLA over the years and they have done the same. Only 2nd review I've ever taken time to write up so kudos!“
“Amazing place with great atmosphere! Loved all the decor, definitely felt like a lot of love went into this spot. Luca was our server, he had great recommendations and took good care of my mom and I for lunch on Good Friday. The food was excellent! Down to the tortilla chips ?????? Special margarita was blueberry pineapple- immaculate! I got the Camaròn tacos and mom got the Porter no pineapple. The shrimp was excellent with the perfect amount of heat, the pork was some of the best I've had in a taco. Will definitely be making the trip to Raleigh more often to visit more!“
“Love this place. I’ve been here a couple times and the first time I went there was an event going on so it was pretty busy. This time, it was quite empty but still a good vibe. Didn’t end up getting any food but the beer is always good. I really love that they allow dogs in there too! It makes it a really fun environment.“
“I came into sodabox today and this worker named Harrison was amazing. He was working and the door broke while there were a lot of cars and people in the store. He was able to fix the door, get everyone’s order and drinks, and make the best drinks I’ve had from sodabox. I wish all fast food employees were like this. Great establishment, I’m definitely going to come back.“
