My spouse and I went here for a late dinner and we had a good experience. The place was not busy at all and was clean. We started off with the cheese and bacon fries which were delicious and very big for an appetizer. The ranch was also sooo good. I did the pick two with the 6 ounce sterling and quarter rack of ribs and a side Caesar salad and my spouse. Had the patty melt with the mixed green salad. Our food was very good. I would definitely return to Carolina alehouse to try some of their other items and it's a good place for traditional American cuisine.

Ordered food via delivery app so I can't attest to the ambiance of the establishment, parking or service but what I can say was that I was pleasantly surprised at my meal choices. I got the wings (honey Buffalo and 5 alarm). The flavor was there but I did expect a bit more spice for the 5 alarm but it was tasty. Got a sweet treat with the donuts as a dessert, they are likely way better fresh and hot but they weren't bad. All in all not a bad experience.

Came here while visiting North Carolina - it was Halloween (Tuesday) at around 3pm. There were not a lot of people when we were there and it was not loud. Sat at the bar - lots of Tap choices; bartenders were nice and friendly. The 1/2 lb Carolina hotdog was delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly - not overcooked/dry. Lots of parking.

Southwest Blackened Chicken Sandwich
Jiyoung S.

This is a pretty decent location for work lunch. Fairly fast service and not super busy. We were able to be in and out pretty quickly without feeling like I'm under time crunch. Food was OK. I had Artisan 5-Cheese Spinach Dip and Southwest Blackened Chicken Sandwich, and I had mixed feelings. Spinach dip was delicious - This dish never fails me! However, the dip to pita / chips (stale btw) ratio was stupid. Our table finished the dip before we ate half the pita and chips. It was kind of disappointing to see how little dip came with a large amount of pita and chips. Chicken sandwich was OK, but I don't think I would order it again. The sauce that came with the sandwich and fries were delicious, but it still didn't make up for the lack of taste on the sandwich. It was overall quite an underwhelming experience. But I'm not going to complain too much as this was a work lunch paid by my work :)

We've been here a few times already and it's a great pub/bar to hang out at and to watch a game. And they have daily drink specials!! Pretty decent on tap selection, food is reasonably priced and honestly pretty good for a sports bar. Service is probably not the absolute best we've had, like they'd say extra napkins or a water refill is coming up and it actually never happens but our servers were always friendly and easy going so I'll take that. Last time we were here I got a house garden salad with shrimp which is a very generously sized salad served with a skewer of grilled shrimp and a bunch or dressing, I enjoyed it. Burrito was also good sized, packed with flavor and most importantly not dry. The whiskey sour special on Wednesdays comes without egg whites by the way but hey, for 5 bucks it's a great deal!

Southern Fried Chicken Salad. Very good
Marissa M.

I've been here on a few occasions now and the food is excellent for delivery but the dine in service is always disappointing. Maybe it's the staff here but when you actually sit down it's just terrible. I went here for late meet up and were barely acknowledged. The wings are consistently good and the salads. I would say order Uber eats, but don't eat here.

Veteran's Day Rib dinner.
Chuck J.

This place is usually pretty good...not today. Went in for their advertised Veteran's Day special...half rack rib dinner. Nice waitress. Seated promptly. Served promptly. The meal...well, the fries were good and hot. Slaw a bit bland but it was cold. The ribs though...ummm, let's just say they were dry, overcooked, tough, and tasted old, although the sauce they slathered over it was good. Ale House...please learn to treat your veterans better. Hot mess.

Father's Day special
Jill M.

The food was good. A free cheeseburger for dad on fathers Day. Our first impression was trash all over the parking lot and a sanitation score of 95. Our waitress was new, Her first day out of training. She did fine. Our order wasn't perfect, she didn't see if we wanted anything else, just brought the check. The bathroom was filthy. The other waitress working was rude to me and the overall inside appearance was a bit run down. It is a dark sports bar inside, but there is outdoor seating. And the advertised $3 domestic beers are actually $3.75 at least that's what we were charged.

I've always enjoyed my experience at Tobacco Road. The food is ALWAYS good, and the drinks are good too! The staff and service have always been great as well! They don't take reservations, but you can add yourself to the waitlist ahead of your arrival if the function is available. This is also a great place for a private event. I've been to quite a few of them here and have had a great experience as well. Although there is some street parking available around the restaurant, the best option is to park in the parking deck a short walk nearby. Although they are well-known for their bar food, one of my favorite entrees is the Greek Lemon Chicken! It's so tasty, and the flavors complement each other well. There are tons of tvs to ensure you can catch the games as well! Highly recommend!

We visited mid week before going to see a show at DPAC. We joined the waitlist before we headed over, there were at least 10 others on the waitlist in front of us, and we got a table within about 5 minutes of arrival. They had half price glasses of wine, and I had the chicken salad sandwich with fries - crazy low prices for downtown Durham!

The menus were pretty beaten up and faded. I wanted a unique drink, but I just didn't want alcohol; mocktails would have been a nice addition to the menu. Of course, we got chips and salsa, very enjoyable. Chips were thin, crispy, and hot. Salsa was flavorful, with just hint of spice. They have very small water glasses, I needed several refills. I did get a Mexican Coke, and the bartender cut a whole lime cut in wedges, which was very kind of him. We waited a little while for us to get our food which was an order of Baja fish tacos and an order of steak tacos. 3 tacos came with each order along with lime wedges, black beans and yellow rice. The fish tacos just needed a little something extra, all they had was cabbage and a little bit of sauce. They needed a side of guac or at the least, some pico. And I didn't love the batter on the fish, it was crispy, but heavy. I usually like a beer batter and this wasn't that, it reminded me more of a cornmeal batter. The carne asada tacos were far better. Onions, cilantro, and chili de arbol. Very good quality mat with a nice sear on the outside. I liked the bar atmosphere, it did remind me a little of Baja, with the stone carvings and dark atmosphere. Fair experience all things considered, but could've been a little better.

The garlic parmesan rub left a pool of garlic in the tray that was an oily mess. The boneless fritters themselves had a strong outer fried shell. Took a bit to dig a fork into. But once you got in, the chicken was an oily mess, there was just a pool of oil inside each bite. I would say my stomach on average is pretty strong and can handle a good amount, but these boneless fritters took me out and I had stomach pain the next day. Would stay away from these and just order normal wings or something else on the menu.

Woody's Sports Tavern - Morrisville…read more Picked up my better half from RDU after a week away on a redeye. She was hungry, I was smart enough to know better than to go straight home -- so, impromptu Friday night date! We've driven past Woody's Sports Tavern in Morrisville probably 100 times and never stopped. Big mistake. TL;DR -- we should have gone sooner. Parking was easy (though that lot does get crowded later). We got seated right away and met our server, Sierra. We told her it was our first time, and she lit up -- shocked we hadn't been before, excited to give recommendations, and genuinely fun to chat with. Always nice when you can tell someone actually likes where they work. Food rundown: I went Patty Melt with fries, my partner went South Beach wrap with tots. Both were solid, and ironically we each liked the other's sides better... so, swapsies. Service was fast, portions were big (half of mine came home with me), and the price/value was right on point. Overall? Good vibes, hearty food, great server. Definitely glad we finally stopped in -- and we'll be back.
