The bacon was the texture of ready to eat/heat bacon which took away from the burger. Do I recommend? I wouldn't go out of my way for this unless I'm just riding by the restaurants. It was ok! The fires were hot and fresh but a bit too salty for me. I suggest ordering those without salt to control that yourself. Honestly, if I ever went back I'd just do a regular burger without the bacon and no fries . Although the fries were decent. I'm not a huge fan! The service was satisfactory here. Nothing to really call out!

We walked in on a Sunday afternoon and were immediately greeted and seated. Dining area well maintained and I would call it modem rustic (hard to explain but it was cute).

Fresh baked buns, local veggies, cheese options, and delicious sauces. The fries came out piping hot and crisp. Both the waffle fries and hand cut fries were delicious.

If you order the truffle fries, make sure to grab a fork or extra napkins (or both)! Eating them gets real messy. Overall, a nice, casual burger spot in Raleigh with great fries.

Located in the newer section of North Hills, CowBar is a more sophisticated rendition of their Morgan Street Food Hall location. Very similar with maybe a few extras, you order up front, get a number, self-service soft drinks and condiments in the back and wait for you eats. Pick up your meal at the counter and it's time to eat! I did their popular truffle burger with fries Italiano and OMG! The burger was amazingly tender, rich and delicious. Tender grilled beef, smoky Gouda cheese, caramelized onions and truffle flavoring throughout. The skin-on fries with shaved parm, rosemary and garlic made for the perfect side. While the bar is not open yet, it looks like CowBar North Hills will have some beers and drinks to go with your burger. Overall I am super happy with what I experienced at CowBar. While the food is a touch pricey, it's totally worth the money and a better option to dine here, versus a crowded, noisy spot. Enjoy, Raleigh. You may have the best burger in the Triangle with CowBar!

There were no other orders working or waiting, the staff was walking into the dining area and socializing. Eventually, someone else ordered and got their food while my food was still sitting there. Finally, somebody called me over and VERY awkwardly passed it over to me, extending the tray, then holding onto it and pulling it back some after I had my hands on it while looking into my eyes with a sad expression on their face. I felt like it was pretty ignorant. Overall, It was really disappointing and a little disturbing. This has been my total go-to spot for years, but I'm not interested in coming back after all of that. The food isn't THAT good, and this just ended a weird and distasteful night out at the Morgan Street Food Hall. Sorry, but No Thanks.

Buff was good but personally liked the bbq more. Don't sleep on the burgers either. It's up there on our list! Portions aren't large but that's honestly perfect for a spot downtown.

The gyro here is legit--carved from the spit, flavorful, and exactly what you'd expect if you grew up in the 708/312/630/847. Honestly, it's the closest thing I've found in the area to that classic Chicago fast-food experience. Their burgers and Philly cheesesteaks also look solid, and I'll definitely be working my way through the menu. I'll gladly go out of my way for this place whenever I'm craving a real-deal gyro like I used to get back home. The only thing missing? Throw hot dogs, Italian beef, and pizza puffs on the menu, and I'd swear I never left Chicago.

Roughly a year ago, they remodeled the dining area, so it is much nicer than before. The servers tend to be long time employees, each with their distinct personalities that they don't mind sharing. We like them all, and it sure beats dealing with sullen teenagers at many places. The wings themselves are very good. There are a large number of sauces and dry rubs to choose from, with heat ranging from nothing to habanero. There are sweet and savory options as well. My wife prefers the boneless wings, which actually are large pieces of cut-up chicken breast. In addition, the menu includes other sandwiches and sides. The menu is worth a look. They have a number of beers on tap and some cans/bottles, as well as a full bar. So, everyone in your party is likely to find something they want to eat (except, perhaps, vegans...). We generally get wings, boneless wings, side salads, potato wedges, and/or cole slaw. Their iced tea is excellent. Enjoy!

It never fails that every single time I've not checked...I get home or back to TCB and then I see they left out half of the order, gave us regular fries instead of sweet potato. NEVER FAILS. Check your orders! One other tip, order the wings well done or crispy. They come out way better. They are stingy on the sauces so if you like them extra wet order them that way but usually the regular way is good. Dining in is a completely different experience. I would give them 3 stars for dining in, 3.5 if I'm being honest. Service is usually a bit lousy. It's loud. Bathroom is typically dirty with trashcans overflowing on busy weekends. It's practically a dive bar in disguise. I enjoy their tots. The onion straws come with a "spicy ranch" that isn't spicy at all. As far as wings go in town. Apex wings has some of the best as does Aviator who smokes their wings which in my opinion should be required of all wings. Wing It On is not good at all. Everywhere else is un-notable. Here are my thoughts on some of the wing sauces: * Spicy Honey Mustard - not that spicy and tasted more like Buffalo than honey mustard * Tequila Sunrise - very sweet. Lots of orange flavor. No real hint of tequila. * Gold rush - meh. * Pina Colada - weak flavor. Tastes like coconut chicken * Bang bang - no flavor * Mango habanero - pretty good but not hot * Hot honey - not hot. Sweet * Sesame teriyaki- ok. Not bad. * Awesome Sauce - awful. Almost couldn't eat them. * Hot Raspberry- good. Nice heat and sweet * Chili Lime - really good. * Jamaican Jerk - also really good
