    BBQ chicken wings. Very good!
    Abby M.

    My boyfriend and I decided to check out the Buff-O-Lina food truck tonight as we were getting beers at Southern Peak Brewery. I ordered the "Buffolina Dog" and my boyfriend the "Tar Hell Dog." We also ordered the 6-piece chicken wings with BBQ sauce to share. Both of us really liked the wings which were very meaty and flavorful. As for the hot dogs, they were just okay. The hot dogs themselves look like normal grocery store dogs that are just smothered in different toppings. Overall, everything was decent, but I wouldn't be in a rush to eat their food again.

    Amazing food and fast service. I ordered the 2 hot dog combo which came with french fries and a drink. For the hot dogs you can choose from their menu of signature dogs or create your own. I chose the Tarheel dog and Redneck dog. Both were great!

    Great WNY food, fast service. Reasonable pricers. We went to the brewery because of Buff-o-lina and were not dissappointed.

They have expanded over the years and always seem to have a place to sit. There is a bar which is always pretty full. Plenty of monitors around to catch your game, even in dining area. We had a group of 6 and was seated immediately and took care of by Sarrah. We ordered sodas and waters except me, PBR. Elected to start with Nachos as an app. It was ok but seem to be missing a little more cheese. The food order was Fish & Chips, Beef Sliders, Reuben Sandwich, Pimento Bacon Burger and basket of Sweet Potato Fries. Everything came out at once and was medium hot. Sarrah stayed ontop of drink refills and checked in regularly. I do say wish there was a little more pimento cheese on burger, hardly tasted it. Sorry for no pics, too much talking with family.

We got 18 wings which you can choose 3 sauces for- we chose honey bbq, awesome sauce, and gold rush. We also got a plate of fried shrimp that came with two sides and we chose a side caesar and fries. For apps we got the shrimp and grits fritters. The total was around $55 for all of these items which was good. The shrimp and grits fritters were so good. This was a unique menu item that i've never had anywhere before and each bite was creamy and had a piece of shrimp in it. The fried shrimp was crispy and seasoned great. The side caesar doesn't look like much, but I tossed it in the dressing the next day and had it with some chicken and it was great. It was also a big portion for a side. The fries were perfect as well. The wings were cooked great. We loved the gold rush and honey bbq the most. The only thing I wish was that it was a bit more saucier. I would definitely come back again and it was a great late night find. We called the order in and it was ready within 15 minutes and perfectly warm.

While there ended up being a technical issue at the location. Things happen. Systems glitch. Busy nights get chaotic. What truly matters is how a business handles it and this team handled it with integrity and professionalism. The staff were clearly under a lot of pressure from frustrated customers, yet they remained respectful. I especially want to acknowledge General Manager Holly. She personally spoke with me, sincerely apologized, refunded my order, and offered a complimentary meal for me and my husband. Her empathy and accountability really stood out. Having worked in customer service myself, I know how tough those moments can be especially when you care about your team and your customers. I could tell she genuinely felt bad about what happened, and that means a lot. This Wingstop has always had great service, timely deliveries, and friendly drivers, and one rough night doesn't change that. I appreciate how they handled the situation and I will absolutely continue supporting this location. Please remember: the people behind the counter are human too. A little grace goes a long way.

I put in my order online and then went down, I had never been there before. When I walked in the place was kind of dark and dingy. That being said, they were very courteous and moved quickly. That's the only positive note I can give. Someone came out and told me that two of the items I had ordered, the barbecue bourbon beans and colored greens had not been on the menu for months. I asked why they are still on the website and I can still order them then and he replied "I guess they didn't update the website" I subbed for mac & cheese and tater tots. I also got the brisket and my fiancé got a salad and a Bavarian pretzel. The brisket was the most dry and underwhelming brisket I have ever had. I was so bummed out. Their sauces were pretty good, so I just soaked the brisket in the sauces and choked it down. The mac & cheese was Stone cold, the tater tots were soft and everything tasted as if it had been reheated in the microwave. My fiancé's salad was, no joke, about 40% lettuce and 60% cheese with a few cucumbers. Also very underwhelming. She said the pretzel was "meh". Didn't taste fresh and just wasn't good overall. I added a picture of the brisket so you can see how dry it was. I thought going to local barbecue in North Carolina was a sure bet because even the worst barbecue places are still pretty solid in NC, but this is not one of them. I didn't check yelp beforehand, my mistake. Stay away.

We struck up conversations with several locals, including a few fellow educators--and even our bartender. There's a genuine sense of community here, and the atmosphere is friendly, relaxed, and welcoming. I went with the Fried Green Tomato BLT, a creative take on the classic sandwich. Instead of the usual tomato, it features two crisp fried green tomatoes paired with candied bacon, lettuce, fresh tomato, and roasted garlic aioli. The combination works particularly well--the tangy, slightly tart fried green tomatoes provide a great contrast to the sweet, smoky bacon, while the roasted garlic aioli brings everything together. At $12, it's a very satisfying lunch. I paired it with a pilsner. The beer selection is particularly noteworthy, given the restaurant's connection to Mason Jar Lager Co., the local Fuquay-Varina brewery. It's a nice touch that reinforces the tavern's connection to the local community. Overall, The Mason Jar Tavern is an exceptionally good casual restaurant--comfortable, welcoming, and the kind of place where you can come in for lunch and easily find yourself lingering a little longer than planned.

The goat cheese is a nice touch. But today is my birthday, so I ordered the ribeye sandwich. It's the best. It's like a Philly Cheesesteak, but instead they use red peppers and American cheese. I am from Wisconsin and though it is sacrilegious to boast about American cheese, I'm telling you it's the best switch up steak sandwich I've ever eaten. I'm never eating another Philly cheesesteak AGAIN. And if I ever cook a steak sandwich at home, I'll try and copy the recipe from the Mason Jar. Many thanks for a delicious #41. And if you're someone leaving bad reviews, I suggest going to church or ashram or temple or something, because we should all be GRATEFUL to be able to eat anything at all! Haven't you ever been through a health crisis where you were unable to eat normally for a prolonged period of time? Czech yourself! Do you know how lucky you are to be ALIVE? Fantastic bar service as well! Peace and Love!

Walking into the Khao Sen you'll feel like you've walked into a warm, intentional, and stylish restaurant. To be seated you'll first check in with the host and then be shown to your table. For drinks we ordered the mango passion fizz (mango, passion fruit, club soda) and the strawberry rose limeade (strawberry, rose, lime, club soda). Both looked nice presentation wise, but would definitely lean towards the mango passion fizz for the overall balance of flavors. For our appetizer we ordered a taste of all (vegetable gyoza, crispy krab sticks, crispy spring rolls, fried tofu, spicy chicken wings with side of each sweet chili sauce and sweet soy sauce) to be able to try most of the appetizers. Overall I would opt for the spicy chicken wings and pass on the other items. All of the appetizers were good but the spicy chicken wings were fried perfectly and had a great balance of spice/flavor. For entrees we ordered the Khao Soi (Northern Thai-style curry, egg noodles, crispy egg noodles, cilantro, scallion, pickled radish, shallots, lime) with chicken. The flavors were excellent and the chicken thigh was cooked to perfection. Almost if the chicken thigh was boiled or sous vide where it fell apart. We also ordered the Khao Pad (fried rice, egg, onion, Chinese broccoli, tomato, garlic, cucumber, cilantro, scallion) with sweet sausage which I wasn't sure if I would like but turned out to be excellent. The sweet sausage along with the flavors of the rice, broccoli, sweet onion, and egg made this dish one of my favorites. We were so full we couldn't make it to dessert but I heard the Thai Donuts with the Thai tea custard are excellent. If you are in the Fuquay-Varina area and are looking for good Thai food I definitely recommend stopping by Khao Sen. Looking forward to visiting again soon to try the other dishes.

However, It's Just Wings is actually a ghost kitchen that is apparently operating out of Chili's Grill & Bar. You are supposed to park in a to-go spot and get your order brought out to you. My husband went inside and got the wings because he was unsure if the to-go spots were for Chili's only or for "It's Just Wings". Luckily, the wings were all packaged up and on the shelf, ready-to-go for pick-up. I was really excited to try out this place, but was sadly disappointed in the quality. I ordered 4 different flavors (8 wings each). There were free fries that came with each box of wings. However, the fries were all lukewarm and incredibly damp with grease. The Honey Sriracha wings were overcooked (very crunchy and dry), not warm in temperature, and barely sauced. The Cajun Dry Rub wings were warm, but the seasoning was very mild (not very cajun-ey at all). The Garlic Parmesan wings had a Caesar salad dressing sauce on them and they were too wet. The Ranch Dry Rub wings were tender, properly seasoned, and warm. The wings were all very inconsistent with how they were prepped and packaged. We were so disappointed with our order that we will not be ordering again.
