I really like when new restaurants open near my house so when I found out that Char Grill had just opened here in Wake Forest I had to go. I believe this is a chain and I haven't eaten in any of the other locations so I didn't really know what to expect. I have to say that this is probably one of the worst burger joints I've ever tried. I decided to ordered the recommend 1/2 pound with fries. I asked to put everything on it .... very disappointing ! For starters the slaw was kinda sour and the chili had a strange taste. So I decided to try the burger pattie by itself, it was pretty tasteless. On top of that the fries seemed as if they were fried on some super old oil giving them a weird taste. Price was not even that cheap, the combo was about 10 bucks. I also ordered a cheeseburger for my daughter and she didn't like it either. Wait time was average. I am not coming back. Try the Chinese place or the Jamaican restaurant in the same shopping center instead.

Not sure how it's possible to not give 5 stars. Delicious! We go there weekly and haven't had a bad meal.

They have very poor customer service. Will not talk unless you ask them for anything. Seems like they have an attitude and is just lazy.

The same great char grilled taste as the other locations but with the addition of a fast drive through.

We live in North Raleigh but regularly do our shopping in Wake Forest because it's so convenient,…read moreand once we're there, everything is close by, including lunch. The two of us eat at Over the Falls regularly and always enjoy it. I'm honestly surprised I hadn't written a review before. Lunch for two came to $65.80 + tax and tip, and there was more than enough food. I ordered one of my two favorites: the Ahi Tuna Pita (the other favorite is the blue cheese burger). I paired it with a side salad and blue cheese dressing, plus an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. My wife ordered The Barrel, their Philly cheesesteak, with a side of sweet potato fries. We also shared an order of house-made potato skins. It was far too much food, in a good way, and we took plenty home. Service was outstanding and truly a team effort. One moment stood out: when my wife hesitated to ask for sour cream for the potato skins, our server immediately said, "It's just 15 steps, let me get it for you." That small gesture made a big difference. The rest of the team was equally warm, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance works perfectly for us, lively, busy, and welcoming without feeling chaotic. I would be confident ordering virtually anything from the menu. We'll keep coming back.

Outstanding Wake Forest Eatery…read more Over the Falls features award-winning Specialty Salads, Sandwiches, Burgers, Pizza, Wings & Entrees; plus 12 Craft Draft Beers along with an Extensive Bourbon List, Handcrafted Cocktails & Mules. It's always crowded, does not accept reservations and does not have a bar or inside waiting area. You must register with the hostess, then wait outside (or in your car) until you receive a text that your table is ready. While this is inconvenient and unpleasant, the mouthwatering food is worth the trouble. One of our favorites is the Three Sisters Salad- which includes a generous scoop of either House-made Chicken Salad, Avocado Chicken Salad or Tuna Salad (we chose the Avocado), plus a large mound of Broccoli Salad, Fresh Fruit and a Flakey Honey-drizzled Croissant. Another winner was the Flash-fried Calamari & Banana Peppers. The substantial serving of Rhode Island Calamari was crispy, oh so tender and perfectly seasoned - with Thai Chili and Marinara dipping sauces. We also recommend the Cali Pastrami Sandwich and the Bacon & Cheddar Cheeseburger. Both come with a Pickle & either House-Made Potato Chips, Tortilla Chips, French Fries, Macaroni Salad or Cole Slaw. The NY Navel Pastrami was topped with Fried Onions, Habanero Jack Cheese, Chipotle Mayo and Avocado and piled high on a flaky, chewy golden brown Pretzel Roll. The big juicy Burger included Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion and several slices of crispy Bacon.

We have been here twice in the past two weeks to say our goodbyes to friends as we are moving out of state. We will truly miss Norse Brewery. You really cannot go wrong with anything you order. Our favorite dish is, of course, the Viking Burger paired with duck fat fries and the Frikadellar to share. The Mango Hefeweizen and mango margaritas are delicious drinks as well. Whether you sit inside or out, you will feel cozy and relaxed while you eat delicious food!

The Norwegian-inspired menu is full of hearty and flavorful items. Our opener of Loaded Beer-Cheese Tots paired with a couple of co-owner/Brewmaster Brad Wynn's brewed on-site beers was heavenly. You MUST sample several of his creations, and take a moment to see the incredible brewery that is a huge part of the experience - his wife Lynn gave us a quick and amazing tour of the brewery, see pics. I had the Viking Burger, a carnivorian delight made from elk, bison, boar and wagyu meats and a half Norwegian salad that had us swooning with pleasure - a full salad would be a satisfying main vegetarian entree. Paul's Wisconsin Brat was so good, gonna hafta to have that during our next visit. The award-winning structure is a joy - 2 levels, dog-welcoming al fresco dining available front and back - and the downstairs bar where regular events occur - just amazing! Regular events include Thursday Night Trivia, as well as stand-up comedy and murder mystery nights. An ongoing calendar of events that are easy on the pocket, making a full night of food and fun for all. Check their website - wakeforest.norsebrewingco.com - for all the details. Another downtown Wake Forest must for locals and travelers alike - Paul and I will be regulars, I can tell you that! Check it out some weeknight, you'll be glad you did‼

I am a bit of a creature of habit when I order food. I have eaten at this Wayback Burger location…read moreenough that I have maxed out the reward points as well. What this tells me is I really like the food and consistency! It sounds like I eat here a lot, and to be fair, it's probably a few times a month. I have not had one order be inaccurate or anything other than the quality the first time I tried Wayback Burgers. The food is always fresh, hot, and ready to go each and every time. The value is very reasonable and comparable to all the other local options as well. I typically get a custom-made burger with either fries or tater tots. I have also tried their hot dog, which is pretty good as well. Both order options fill me up. I haven't tried the shakes yet, but it's on my list for one of these days. The app is really easier to order, which should be a given, but it amazes me how bad other establishment make their order process in the app. Easy layout, easy to customize, and easy to re-order a favorite. The speed at which my food is ordered, prepared, and available is very reasonable. By the time I place the order in the app and arrive at the location 7 minutes later, the order is ready. The team here is also great. They always meet people with a smile and attentiveness. Clearly, they prioritize the in-person experience by being available and engaging every time someone needs something. I also appreciate that they can see everything in the eating area and can monitor if someone needs something. Wayback Burger is my go-to these days, which is great considering I have at least 10 other options just as close as Wayback is to me. I am never concerned that what I am craving to eat will be anything less than what is delivered.

Gatehouse Tavern is located in the Gateway Commons shopping center.

The sports bar is divided into two sections: a dining room with tables and booths, and a bar with high-top seating. The restaurant was fairly quiet until the karaoke was about to start. Then it seemed like you needed to scream to hear a conversation. They also have trivia nights, so that likely isn't as loud. I ordered the Wagyu Burger, and it was cooked to order and delicious. The mashed potatoes for the side were lukewarm and rather dry and bland. The way they were presented at the table made it seem as if they were meant to go with something, like butter or gravy. I would not recommend the mashed potatoes, but the burger was delicious. The sweet potato fries, another had as a side, looked good, as did a salad. Service seemed good at first with the drink and food orders. But once the food was brought out, I don't think we saw the waitress again until it was time for the checks. A bill with a credit card for another guest at a different table was even brought out with the processed checks. So make sure you get the correct credit card back.
