The Motherload
Anna F.

We ordered the motherload since we were a party of eight. We also ordered the cobb salad. The motherload contained sausage, turkey, chicken, pulled pork, brisket and ribs. My favorite were the sausage, brisket and and ribs. For the sides, we ordered hush puppies, green beans, corn pudding and cornbread. The cornbread was okay and I am not a fan of hush puppies. This place is casual and we bussed our tables after eating. I enjoyed the BBQ sauces but I can't say I would go back if I am in the area.

Here again for a late lunch. I noticed they have changed the menu some. Man at the register was very helpful and excellent attitude. I got a brisket sandwich and coleslaw. Both were delicious and came out quickly. Drinks are self service and the sauce choices are there as well. I like having so many options. Clean tables, no dirty dishes sitting around but you leave your dishes at a station near the door. Consistent quality food.

2 Two Meats, Two Sides (Ribs and Pulled Pork). So good.

This place is good for what seems like a good bbq joint. I just moved from Texas and I need my brisket fix. This place has really good brisket that fills that need . Everyone here is really nice and helpful. Everything here is smoked or slow cooked just like I found in Texas. Glad I came across this place.

5-3-25. St. Louis style ribs.  One eaten and one seconds before eating.

5-3-25. Visited here before catching a flight home. Very happy I stopped in. Tasted a few different items......pork ribs were terrific, moist and tender with a nice sweet, tangy sauce. BBQ chicken was juicy and flavorful. Pulled pork and chopped brisket sandwich was excellent, as was the pulled pork nachos. The side of collared greens was also very tasty. The "naked" sliced turkey was decent but not as good as the other meat items. Hush puppies were also pretty good. Mac and cheese had a nice flavor but was a little on the mushy side. You order your food at the counter, grab your own table and they call you to pick up your order when the food is ready. A no nonsense, non pretentious place to get some good BBQ. Staff was friendly. I'm glad I don't live anywhere near this restaurant because I'd be visiting too often and that would be very dangerous for my sodium and cholesterol intake. Overall, a very pleasant and satisfying meal.

City Barbeque is a quick chain option if you are craving some BBQ. You place your order at the counter then wait for it and find a place to sit. It was the two meats with two sides sampler (brisket, sausage, baked beans and green beans) for my husband and the 3 sides plate (baked beans, 3-cheese baked mac and potato salad) with a modelo for me. There was a ticket printing issue was not communicated to a few of us until we waited a bit. I also really wanted corn pudding but they were out of it. My favorites were the beans and sausage.

Doc B's Restaurant - Chicken parm, dirty martini and dried chicken

Doc B's Restaurant

(107 reviews)

This was our second time visiting a Doc B's (last time was at their first location, Gold Coast…read moreneighborhood in Chicago), and it was just as enjoyable as the first. The Cary location vibe is elegant without being intimidating and less cramped than the Chicago restaurant. The service was impeccable. Our server, Reid provided helpful recommendations and gave us feedback on our choices. His knowledge of the menu was clearly thorough. We tried the "knuckle sandwich", the roadside smash, and the rigatoni and meatballs - all of which were outstanding. At Reid's suggestion we paired the burger and lobster sandwich with the crispy jalapeños side - so good. We rounded out the meal with a hazy ipa and a cider, both local and delicious. All in all, a fantastic dinner.

Doc B's is one of those places that never lets you down…read more I've been here several times, and whenever I'm in town for a work event, this is usually where we end up for dinner. The staff is consistently friendly, the food is always great, and the space is clean, lively, and welcoming. It works just as well for families and date nights as it does for friend gatherings or corporate dinners, whether it's a large group or just a few of us out for an offsite meal. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The appetizers are all solid, and I'm fairly certain I've taken down an entire guacamole plate on my own before. The Caesar salad is a favorite, and I usually choose between one of their steaks, which has never disappointed. We've also dined with people who have dietary restrictions including gluten-free and vegetarian needs, and the kitchen has always been accommodating. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, and parking has always been easy and convenient, which is a big plus when you're coming in with a group. One small, constructive note from earlier visits is that a couple of servers were newer and less comfortable with wine recommendations. This is completely understandable and didn't detract from the experience, but having a quick backup or simple pairing guidance could make business dinners even smoother. On our most recent visit, I arrived late and the group had already ordered wine, and the selections were excellent. The food was outstanding, the service was seamless, and everything came together beautifully. Overall, Doc B's continues to be a reliable, enjoyable spot with great food, a welcoming vibe, and strong service. I always look forward to coming back when I'm in town, and if you're ever on the fence, don't hesitate. It's absolutely worth the visit.

This very cool restaurant located in Downtown Cary made me think I was at the Culinary Dropout in…read moreArizona, I even told our friends I've been to this place in another state but after some research I realized I had not nor is it the same restaurant BUT it definitely had a similar vibe with equally as delicious food! Stopped in with some friends after attending a Cary Corpse Crawl (highly recommend for some spooky fun) and even though it seemed packed we were seated immediately. Our server was also the bartender but that didn't stop him from being attentive. I had the Crispy Chicken sandwich, I mean you can't go wrong with waffle battered chicken! They did not skim, this sandwich was topped with two large pieces of chicken, a spicy maple syrup aioli and candied bacon!!! Yes, please. We'll be back to check out brunch but I really want to go back to try some cocktails. Per usual we ordered the local beer on tap, which was fantastic but our friends ordered 2 different old fashions one was traditional and the other was Brown Butter Salted Carmel, I had drink envy all night!

We walked from the library to Scratch kitchen- there are no sidewalks we had to push the baby…read morestroller in the street to get to the entrance. Girl waiting on us was friendly but did not come around enough to fill our water. We had to ask another server for water. I had the Tropical bowl with grilled chicken and the dressing on the side. It had good flavor - not very much food for the price- it was only about a quarter of a piece of chicken. The place had music that was almost too loud.

Don't let the name fool you, this place is the furthest thing from a dive bar that I've ever seen…read more It's almost as if they were going for irony with the name...let's make a really upscale restaurant and call it a dive bar!! It would be like renaming the Angus Barn to something like the Beef Shed. I'll start with the two desserts...we couldn't decide between the three desserts they had so we settled on two. Both were freaking amazing. Almost ordered the third to go. The Chocolate tort with Nutella gluten free was creamy and deeply rich in flavor. The Espresso Panna cotta with strawberries was lighter and subtly sweet and perfect. I also couldn't decide between one entry so I got the Vietnamese pork chop and the smoked wings in plum bbq sauce...the pork chop was just okay but everything else that came with it was really good...those vegetables rocked! Now the plum wings...that's unusual and was definitely something that was downright flavorful...I would get them again for sure. My girlfriend is gluten-free and picked this place just for the GF chicken and she was blown away. I tried it and I was blown away. Usually GF food is not good, grainy, and lacking real depth...not this place. This was in all likelihood the best gluten free friend chicken I've ever had and it was half of a freaking chicken! Soooo many fries. We ended up taking half of it home and it made a complete second dinner the next day reheated in the air fryer. Definitely somewhere we will return very soon. The atmosphere is cozy and small and the perfect place for a date night. Also, their GF chicken is better than Beasley's GF chicken...just sayin!!

The hostess, bartender, and our server were all exceptional. The restaurant is beautifully…read moredecorated, the lighting is perfect, and the U-shaped booths are spacious and comfortable. We were a party of six in a hurry to get to an event, and our server was fantastic--every drink and dish came out quickly and efficiently. I ordered the quesadilla, and I have to say it was the most beautiful quesadilla I've ever seen--and the flavor was out of this world. Everyone at the table loved their meals. Our only disappointment was the small ramekin of olives for $5, which felt a bit steep. We will all be back.

This was my first time eating here . I love grilled wings so I decided to try them. I called to…read moreplace the order and the server said they don't take orders over the phone, but I didn't want to place it online because it didn't have a comment section. So I then asked if I could place the order and get all flats , she didn't understand what a flat was so I had to explain that, and she eventually told me she'll let the grill know. I get there to get my order and check my food and low and behold , it's drums in it. So then another server comes and I told her the situation and she said I could get a refund or they could remake the 3 flats that were drums . Then got the manager and ended up telling him just to make it fresh which I waited about ten mins for . I get home and I realize , THERES STILL DRUMS . And they gave me the old wings anyways and just 3 fresh flats which I didn't want my old food back there anyways because I figured that would happen but let's just say this: NO OVER THE PHONE ORDERS AND THEY CANT DO ALL FLATS . They need to better train the server. Update dec. 2,2023 So I came here a second time and this time dine in. Did NOT like the experience. They literally ran out of silverware and my steak got cold waiting for one so I didn't even want it anymore and on top of that, the chimichurri was DISGUSTING. They said there was nothing they can do about there being no silverware and they can't just "pull it out their ass" . Didn't even offer plastic .. Took forever for food and drinks. Never got my water. Or napkins. Ended up having to order nachos only cause it was the quickest thing to order without needing the silverware . A different waiter actually helped get those nachos and faster service to me. Don't believe I'll be going back at this point. First review before the update was a year prior to 2023 review. Haven't been back since .
