Tucked just off Main Street where the GPS gets confused and the charm begins, this taproom is where…read morebarn wood meets black tie. Think polished pints served under Edison bulbs, aged barrels with a hint of char, and locals who know your name and your dog's favorite treat. Whether you're sipping a small-batch stout or catching up on small-town stories, this is the cozy hideaway with big flavor and even bigger character. Behind the bar, equal parts mixologist, mind-reader, and part-time therapist, the bartenders wield top-shelf spirits like wizards with a wand (if the wand were a gold-plated jigger). Armed with top-shelf spirits and a shaker that practically hums with anticipation, they're mixing up drinks that are equal parts alchemy and art. Whether you want something classic, curious, or completely custom, they don't just pour drinks--they craft tiny, liquid masterpieces with a wink and a story on the side. Come thirsty, leave a little dazzled. It's elegance in a glass, charm behind the bar, Cheers!

I ordered a beer, the Hop Roar which is an American IPA. In addition to beer they also offer spirits, cocktails, cider, seltzer, wine and non-alcoholic options.

If you are in Wendell check this spot out. Cheers!

First trip to Falls Local recently. We came in after the lunch rush and before dinner...perfect…read moretime. We were greeted by a friendly waiter who was also manning the bar. Although there were only a few patrons, it seemed like a bit too much for one person to handle, but he did so with grace. Same with the cook...he was solo, so it seemed like a lot to manage, but the food turnaround time was good. I ordered a specialty cocktail that was really good...lemon pepper chicken wings that were DELICIOUS...a smash burger and fries (burger was only so-so, but thy fries were good!)...and finished with fried oreos served with melted chocolate for dessert that were absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS. I highly recommend Falls Local for their prime location, great service, delicious menu offerings, and overall great vibe. Can't wait to go back!

Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and both spaces are dog friendly. Truly such a diverse and awesome place! Parking is close by in downtown Wendell too.

I wanted to take a friend to a nice spot Friday June 12, he had never had the pleasure of…read moreexperiencing. I've been here many times however it was his 1st visit. I let him know the food was great, home cooked and good portions. The one thing that ruined the evening was the RUDE waitress, he walked up to the table and before he could sit down she bought my drink out, she asked what will you have to drink, he's looking confused and responds still standing, well what do you have? She rambles all the options so fast I'm not sure he understood all but made a choice. Then he sat down. She came back and slid it on the table like a fly by.. Soon she bought a hush puppy basket they were cold, I dare not complain she was so nasty and distant. Next she came back, order book open and I was like it's his 1st time, she didn't say anything, she just looked out the window and waited, so we just knew we needed to order, so I named my meat before I could finish SIDES??then he simply asks did they have bone in chicken ( I didn't know he was going to ask or I would have told him beforehand) she says no we have , fried chicken breast tenders, sisco chicken etc, she named every chicken dish on the menu without taking a breath.. I can give her props for knowing that..we both were looking at her confused and she never looked at us it was always "looking out the window " He said just give me "Flounder " one piece or two??? He replies one, SIDES??? Like we needed to be on point. She took the menus and left. She asked the questions she needed but was mean, not engaging and just rude. The WAY she asked.. When our food came this waitress walked by and literally slid our food on the table in a way that was like HERE! And kept walking I don't even think she stopped when she put them on the table she may have slowed down. We had to reach towards the end of the table to slide our plates in front of us. We both looking at each other in agreement she just nasty! The next time she came back she walked by and sat down a half glass of refill for his drink, she hadn't asked she just did it, suppose he wanted a glass of water? When we put our forks down she came over to get his plate and bought me a to go box as I still had half my food on my plate and she left the ticket. She didn't say is there anything I can get you or anything the entire time. He put his pymt with the ticket and put it on the edge of the table, I hadn't been in a while so I forgot we would pay on the way out. She was cleaning the floor near us and slid our ticket/pymt farther on our table, as if it was in her way, again he's confused so he said this is ready and she let him know to pay up front. I have never experienced such a nasty waitress at this restaurant and because of this I probably will never go back. I don't like not feeling comfortable and welcomed in a place where my money and time is going into. I started to complain before I left but in reality I don't think it would have mattered, and we left a tip not as much as we would have if she was more pleasant. I don't know whether she was having a bad day, a long day or to take it personal but I can't deal with attitude like that and won't take a chance on it again. This man drove a hour to experience this was just unbelievable!!!!

Recommended (with an *)…read more City Barbecue has a lot going for it, but probably not for the BBQ purist (*). This Ohio-based chain has over 70 locations in the U. S., including six in the Triangle area. All the meats are tender enough, but just don't have that distinctive pit-cooked flavor that I crave. However, when one of their excellent sauces is added, they're really quite tasty. Sauce options include Original, Sweet City, Brush Fire (Actually not all that hot), Swine Wine (like Eastern NC Vinegar) and Low Calorie (why bother?). I found the portions to be ample, the selections varied and the food generally very good. On my first visit I tried the basic Pulled Pork , Baked Beans and Cole Slaw I added a little of each Sauce to some of the BBQ and enjoyed them all. The Beans were tangy and tasty. The Cole Slaw was outstanding - slightly sweet, creamy and delicious. I also sampled the Pulled Chicken with Fried Okra and Sweet Corn Pudding. The chicken was pretty bland, but very good with some of the sauces. The real stars were the sides. The Fried Okra was as good as any I have ever had (with or without the Chipotle Ranch Dressing). It was lightly breaded; slightly crispy but tender. The Corn Pudding was loaded with sugary corn kernels, butter and sour cream. My two favorites are the St Louis Ribs and the Beef Brisket. The Ribs were slightly crusty but tender. I find that three Ribs and a couple of sides are plenty for a filling meal. You can get the Brisket either lean cut or full cut (I prefer the full cut). City's Hush Puppies are crispy, golden and packed with Southern flavor - perfect. Be sure to ask for the 10% military veteran or senior discount (age 62).

Big Menu, Bold Flavors…read more Parkside is yet another excellent wendell Falls Parkway dining option. While the decor is rather austere, the service and food are first-rate. There is ample outdoor dining and a full-service bar with a good selection of draft beers. I particularly like the diverse menu and surprising variations on many tried and true classics. The Deviled Eggs starter is kicked up a notch with the addition of Jalapeño and Bacon. I really like the Chicken & Waffle Sandwich. The slightly crunchy Belgian Waffle is wrapped around a crispy fried Chicken Breast and topped with Hot Chipotle Honey - yum! If you are looking for a plate full of pure comfort food, try Mom's Meatloaf. The substantial portion of this old-fashioned favorite brought back fond memories of mom's kitchen. For something a little out of the ordinary, try that Canadian favorite (with a twist) Short Rib Poutine. The French Fries are smothered in a Hot Jalapeño Gravy, Garlicky Cheese Curds, Green Onions and chunks of Fork-Tender Boneless Short Ribs - so delicious. For something more basic, there's a very good Grilled Chicken Sandwich on a Brioche Bun. The fresh House Salad with Lettuce, shredded Cabbage and Carrots, Cucumber and Cherry Tomatoes is a perfect accompaniment for this hearty winner. There were a couple of items that missed the mark - at least with us. The Veggie Wrap with Coleslaw was bland and uninteresting and the slaw was not to our liking. We also did not care for the Tomato Bisque.

There was no cheese and it was also cold! It looked mashed together by hand!! This was my 2nd and last visit. My first visit no issues however today was definitely a waste of time and money!

Fast food at a higher level…read more I usually stay away from chain restaurants, but this relatively new midwest chain caught my attention - and I am glad it did. When you walk in the door it just feels different. The interior is clean, relaxing and inviting. You still have to order at the counter, but then you seat yourself and a server brings your freshly-prepared food to you. The signature item, the ButterBurger®, takes this staple to a new level. I tried the Deluxe with Swiss Cheese, Mayo, Lettuce, Onion and Pickle. It was one of the best fast-food burgers I've ever had. The patty was as thin as all the other burgers around, but juicy and slightly buttery. The Onion Rings had a good balance of sweetness and crunch - a definite winner. The Wisconsin Cheese Curds were dry and disappointing. The Grilled Reuben Melt was not quite what you would get at a New York Deli, but still enjoyable. There was a good portion of tender corned beef, cheese and sauerkraut on nicely buttered bread. Other options include three Salads, Grilled & Fried Chicken and Chicken Tenders. The Butterfly Jumbo Shrimp were surprisingly good, and the Cocktail Sauce pleasantly tangy. My favorite is the Beef Pot Roast sandwich with extra Grilled Onions. The shredded beef is tender and flavorful, and the Horseradish Sauce tastes like the real thing. The Crinkle Cut Fries have that crispy snap with a tender, crunchy inside. Cod Fish and Shrimp dinners come with Crinkle Cut Fries, Cole Slaw and a Dinner Roll. Culver's Ice Cream is creamier and smoother than most soft-serve I have had. There's also Regular & Malted Milk Shakes, Root Beer Floats, Ice Cream Sundaes Concrete Mixers and Smoothies.
