Dry rub-old bay wings with ranch and carrots
Vanessa R.

First all, the wings are delicious. Seasoned well and cooked well! The drinks are good and a reasonable price. I really enjoy coming here when the weather is nice and sit outside on the patio. Staff are friendly and courteous. You can listen to music or watch a game on the big screen. Good food, good drinkgood prices, what's not to like?

Wings

Bar with laid back vibe, great food, friendly service and cheap drinks. What's not to like?? The Cajun fish sandwich is a must. I get mine with a side of the house hot sauce. My friends and I started coming here a couple years ago and now my family has made it a weekly go-to spot. The bartenders remember our drink orders which nice.

The service was excellent and the wings on point. This is a quintessential dive bar and I enjoyed my time there.

I ordered through Uber Eats, so I can't fairly rate the atmosphere or service. This review is based…read moresolely on the food. I ordered the Daddy's Philly with a side of pesto pasta salad and banana pudding. The Phily was really good. It came loaded with cheese, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, jalapeños and Garlic mayo on a soft bun that wasn't soggy or stale. I was a little surprised because, despite the jalapeños, I didn't find it spicy at all. I love garlic but I think I would prefer regular mayo to the garlic mayo. Compared to other cheesesteaks I've had, I'd give it a 7.5/10. Instead of fries, I chose the pesto pasta salad. The pasta itself had the perfect chewy texture, and I honestly wanted to keep eating it. Unfortunately, it was too salty for my palate. I could only manage a couple of bites, which was disappointing because the texture was amazing.....like how do you get your pasta to that texture, spill the beans! Haha For dessert, I tried the banana pudding. It was good, but it wasn't my favorite style. I personally prefer banana pudding that's light, fluffy, and silky. This one was much thicker and heavier than what I grew up eating, so it just wasn't my preference. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, especially the Daddy's Philly. Of course, everyone's tastes are different, so these are simply my personal preferences. I'd still encourage you to give it a try and decide for yourself. Ciao for now!

I was initially craving a burger when I'm glad they have Turkey burgers available just to play it…read moresafe w my stomach. I considered getting the truffle fries and indulge, but my wise self decided side salad would be best. My server was sweet and very attentive. Place was not crowded on this Sunday evening, and I love it tht at way. I enjoyed a couple of cold ciders w my meal. The had the Sunday football game on, so not sure if the cowboys will win tonight or not lol, but I sure did w this meal.

What?? You mean I never actually posted a review of Freeman's?! Shame on me. And thanks, Yelp, for…read morethe reminder! This place is the definition of a hidden gem. Which is saying a lot as there are many hidden gems in this area. But Freeman's really does find a way to shine in its own right. Every meal I've had there felt like a warm hug. The food always seemed fresh and prepared with quality ingredients. I was always surprised to find such unique options whenever I visited. The building also feels like such a cozy hangout spot. And the servers always seem welcoming. There's just something magical happening here that you have to visit to understand. Gosh, just writing this is making me want to go back right now! Definitely check Freeman's out if you find yourself in the area or passing through. They're a solid local business worthy of your patronage, and I would love to see them keep making the magic that they do for many, many years to come.

Haven't been here in a while, but finally was on this side of town and stopped in. First off, they…read morewere packed, which is always a good sign. The service isn't going to be in and out as this isn't a large place with lots of wait staff. Expect to be here at least an hour. They have Coors on draft (nostalgia for the Mr.) and tall boy PBRs. Not your thing? Don't let that deter you bc they are one of the few places I have seen who has Old Rasputin on DRAFT. Those not familiar, this is a Russian imperial stout by North Coast Brewery out of Ft Bragg, California. Something I haven't had since... well, I lived in California. Personally, one of my favorite stouts. Beer not your thing? They have an array of specialty contrails and some solid liquor choices including buffalo trace's limited purchase bourbon (eagle rare/ blantons). Food: the Brussels, sandwiches, and salads looked amazing (neighboring patting got those). We split a few things: Brisket: nit the best I have ever had, but solid choice. Maybe not for the $, but it was fall apart brisket. Wings: these are crispy fried with sauce on the side. A little hard but good. Not my favorite. The poutine was by far a favorite with the melty cheese and the gravy was delicious. We also had the street corn and with the lime was pretty good as well. These 4 things were plenty for the 2 of us with a little extra. We didn't mind paying the extra because of the experience. I did about die of heat, but I should have put a hair the in my bag and wore a skit or just not jeans. We will definitely be back.

The wings had a lot of flavor and were a little spicy which I liked. The pretzels were delicious. The cheese sauce was the only thing that could've been better. We also got the garlic cheese curds and they were SO garlicky and cheesy. I was really impressed with those. My mom got the taco salad and she was really impressed. It comes in a taco shell which is a nice touch and they definitely didn't skimp on the ingredients. My favorite thing about this spot though was the vibe! We ended up there on karaoke night which was such a nice treat. They were doing a karaoke competition and had a panel of "judges" which was so fun! Our service was really good too. It seemed like a lot of people were regulars but everyone was super nice! Definitely a fun spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat.

The bartender finally came over after we waited about 10 minutes and 5-6 other people were served and those people came up the bar after us I ordered an AMF (blue motorcycle) and bartender didn't know what that was, lol. It was not very tasty tho. My friend got a regular margarita, which he liked. On receipt, there is an option where you can pay online, which is nice. I dislike how they give the cost of credit card processing to us as this is likely a tax deductible expense. Waitress came over to ask if we were okay and if we wanted another drink but she immediately turned and walked away before we could give an answer lol. This was comical to us. A few minutes later, we did order more drinks. I got a margarita this time and I wasn't fond of it either. I wasn't impressed with the drinks or the service during this visit.

I tried a dish that I had never had before, as well as naan. (Because of course. How do you not get naan?) The spice level was perfect, the flavor was rich and multi-layered, and I left the restaurant full and happy. I intend to visit again the next time I'm down in Greensboro.

I was craving an Indian buffet and wanted to try somewhere new. That curiosity brought me to Noor,…read morewhich had been on my radar since it opened a few years back. I wish I could say that it was worth the wait, but my experience here suggested otherwise. Positives first: Noor is both spacious and stylish with plenty of seating in both the bar and dining areas. Sujan proved to be an attentive and courteous server. That said, the buffet was somewhat underwhelming. It was smaller than those I've found elsewhere in the area. While it offered a solid mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, those offerings were the epitome of playing it safe. Only the hakka noodles (not always an Indian buffet staple) and butter chicken (better than average) really stood out. Nothing else, from the tandoori chicken to the daal to the naan, was prepared poorly, but it was fairly forgettable. Granted, buffet food needs to appeal to a wide range of diners with varying levels of spice tolerance, and so I went in not expecting any heat. Take spiciness out of the equation, however, and the flavors still felt subdued. At least the $20 seemed reasonable for what was offered. It's possible that Noor really shines if you order off the regular menu, and so I wouldn't rule out a return here. The next time I want a weekend lunch buffet, however, I think I'll stick to Taaza.
