    Beer selection

    Best food in the whole mall and probably the area around the mall. I feel like everytime I'm at the mall I end up here. Great burgers, great wings, great Mediterranean food. Try the lamb chops and thank me later. Best selection of beer in the mall.

    Kabob Platter (Limited Time Item)
    Sara L.

    We had to run by the mall and decided to stop here for lunch. Our server forgot my partner's beer and we had to find her to remind her. Overall she was friendly though and fixed the issues quickly. We weren't impressed with the drinks (local beer for him/local cider for me) that they had on draft but the food was great. I thoroughly enjoyed the kabob special and my partner got the cheesesteak and said it was great. We enjoyed the Christmas decor they had as well. I don't think we would seek this place out to eat at again but if we were on the Raleigh side of town and happened to be close, we would consider dropping by again.

    I had been craving a good burger and this is the first place I think of. I went for an early dinner so it was not crowded. I was greeted quickly and my waitress came over quickly and took my drink order...water no ice. I ordered the burger and asked for extra seasoning on the fries and burger . That's what makes the difference here, plus a good quality meat. The burger came out quickly and was hot, as were the fries. Yum I noticed the plate was a lot smaller, not as many fries as before. The burger was as good as I expected. However, I will not be able to come back here again, as the prices have gone up and I just can't afford it anymore. I didn't get a drink, so for just the burger and fries it was over $21. I do recommend this place for the good service, clean atmosphere and good burger....but I just can't do it anymore. Very sad....good memories here....

    Mozzarella sticks
    Nick Y.

    Stopped at Crabtree for a quick lunch while watching the game and pleasantly enjoyed the meal. We got mozzarella sticks and a Buffalo chicken sandwich. Montreal sticks were a bit expensive for only three, but we're not too bad little heavy, but to be expected by that type of mozzarella sticks. The sandwich was very good, but definitely bring a mint after and wash your hands thoroughly as the garlic taste is a bit overpowering. Sandwich three flavorful and good.

    Jamaican Mule
    Quiana H.

    I ordered carry out, service was fast and quick. I got 16 lemon pepper wings, a chicken gyro and fries and while I waited I got a Jamaican Mule. I'm not sure why but the lemon pepper wings had a buffalo spicy undertone. So much so I couldn't eat them because they were too spicy - hence why I got what I thought had no spice. That was a little disappointing. The chicken gyro was really good - so that's worth a try! I didn't get and pics except for the mule. The Caption Morgan was nonexistent so you may want an extra shot if that's your thing...I watched the bartender load up the lime and pineapple juice and ginger beer....he also used the scoop to put my ice in the cup but then he used his bare hand to push my ice further in the cup...weirdest thing I've ever seen...and he did it to multiple customers drinks while wiping his forehead sweat and his hands on his pants. I was a little grossed out about it but my food came out pretty fast so I took a sip and left. All in all if you want to try the food you probably wouldn't be disappointed!

    This was selected due to location as we were meeting my niece for lunch who currently works in Crabtree mall. This was a good place. It is a typical mall sports bar. Lots of booths and tables. Several TVs up with various sports shows on. There was a good selection of beer, mostly NC beers... which is good. We had burgers and a grilled chicken salad. All were quite good. The service was quick and the prices were very reasonable. I doubt we will be back in that mall in the near future, but if you are... give it a try- even if you just want to sample a few beers.

    Carolina Ale House Burger with a Caesar Salad
    Mia T.

    GET THE BURGER We've been here on about 4 different occasions and the burger is cooked to PERFECTION every time we come. It doesn't matter what burger you get, but we get the ale house burger. The burger is always so tender, juicy, and flavorful . So much so, we come here just for the burger! And the servers we have gotten are always so nice and attentive. Hardly ever is it a long wait unless it's a busy day, and even then the service is still expectational. The whole vibe/ambiance of this restaurant is very laid back. Great place for a date night or going out with friends/family. But seriously, RUN don't walk and come get y'all a taste of this burger!!

    Salmon, Roasted Veggies, Garden Salad
    Ashley B.

    Me and my grandmother came here today and we were so impressed! We both tried to stick to the healthier side as much as we could, we knew going anywhere was risky because not all "healthy" food is bound to taste great. But wow- our meal was delicious! We both ordered the salmon which came with grilled vegetables and a side salad. Every bit was so tasty- the vegetables had a nice char, the salmon was cooked perfectly, not dry and with wonderful flavor, and the salad was BOMB- all thanks to the Ranch dressing which somehow tasted 10x better than the bottled stuff (gotta live a little, the healthy dressings just don't do it as good as ranch!). Our server was so polite and attentive, it was truly such a nice experience. So glad we tried this place, we both highly recommend!

For my boxes, I selected the Tobacco Road Club and the turkey sandwich. Neither sandwich arrived dressed (pesto mayo, honey mustard), nor did they put dressings on the side. To be clear, absolutely no one in my group received dressed sandwiches. Fortunately, we found some ranch in the office fridge to share, but even still, the club had no cheese so it was essentially just floppy, sad meats with white bread, and the turkey could not have been more bland if they tried. The side salads that came with them were mediocre at best, and the dressing was not great, either. Literally the only good thing I can say is that the chocolate chip cookies were tasty. I have to wonder if they even make those in house. I was not the one to place the order and I'm glad there was no money out of my pocket, but geesh, if they're going to offer boxed lunches, they could try to be a touch more inventive. Perhaps their other food or their ambiance is good, but I'll never know because you couldn't pay me to try them again after that sad food day.

Food: ordered good ol' cheese burger which you can make your own (you can pick type of protein for the patty, veggies, cheese, sauce etc). Patty is cooked just like we asked- juicey and well flavored. Deviled egg was phenomenal- little rich and on the salty side but it only compliments their amber ale to chug.

There were lots of dogs present in the covered outdoor seating, including one sitting at the table with its humans. I tried the Freedom Dip, which was really just a French Dip served with French Onion Soup instead of au jus. It came with a very generous serving of roast beef and was served warm with melted cheese. The sandwich was good, although I think the French Onion Soup really didn't go very well; serving it with au jus would have been a better fit. My dining companion tried the The Bogart, basically a marinated chicken breast sandwich. Like my sandwich, the serving size was very generous. She rated it as good but not exceptional. Both of us thought the house-made potato chips were good, but felt that some of the chips weren't thoroughly cooked. Our server was having a bad day and complained about the workload.

It sounded hearty and perfect for a cold January day, so I ordered it. The Shrimp and Grits dish consists of shrimp and andouille sausage in a low country gravy over creamy grits. The dish was perfectly spiced--not too hot, just the right balance of heat and flavor. The shrimp were tender, and the smoky andouille sausage added just the right kick. Coupled with the Lowcountry gravy, the shrimp, andouille, and creamy grits came together beautifully, making this a deeply satisfying dish, full of Southern soul. I paired this with a cranberry and club--perfectly made, with the tart juice blending seamlessly with the soda. My friend had the Carolina Dog, at my recommendation (I've had this all-beef Old North State masterpiece here before) and thought it was delicious. My receipt said that Party was my server--maybe Patty, maybe Party--but all I know is that she was great. She was nice, friendly, a great conversationalist, attentive, and a pleasure. It was very cold outside, but our booth was very warm and comfortable. Every time I come, I notice something new--today it was the Chelsea banner on the ceiling. This is a great bar and grill with a warm, fitting atmosphere. Another very fine experience and yet another reason to return.
