    Guinness

    Went in a few weeks ago. Not a great pint of Guinness ‍ Shame as it's a nice pub in a good location

    Chicken tenders and steak fries
    Arpana R.

    We were at this place after its renovation since we liked the ambiance and the food the first we went there. They have a bigger outdoor seating and a play area with corn hole and stuff. The play area comes in handy when you are with kids since they can play there while you enjoy your beer and food. We ordered their draft bees which were really strong but not as chilled. For appetizers we ordered artichoke spinach dip that comes with peta bread, which tasted really good. For kids meal we ordered chicken tenders with carrots but they gave steak fries instead of carrots, the service was a little slow so we did not bother to get it replaced, my daughter happily ate her fries and chicken tender that were really crispy and tender. For main course we ordered their black bean burger with chips and chicken ceaser salad wrap with orange rice. Both the dishes were decent, the burger was a little dry and the wrap had chunky pieces of lettuce. The service was good, but slower than other pubs style restaurants. We ordered kids ice cream that took sometime to come and then they missed the spoon so we had to wait another 5 minutes for that, we had already paid the bill so we left. I will go back for a good beer, not so much for food or place.

    There is limited parking in front of the restaurant. When I arrived all of the spots were filled. I found a parking area in the rear of the business. All of the open spots in the lot had signs that said they were reserved for other businesses in the area. I called the restaurant and they advised me that it was ok to park in those parking spaces. Several tables were inside of the business and a bar. When I walked in the business, two employees were standing at the bar talking & no one spoke to me. After I seated myself & scanned the menu someone came over & finally greeted me. The employees that we interacted with were not personable and barely came over to check on us. They came over when we first arrived & prior to us leaving to check out. The restaurant wasn't overly busy & there were several employees working & coming over to the tables. I got the dry rub wings and fries. While there was seasoning on the wings, they both needed salt. The wings and the fries were served hot. The vegetables served with my wings were fresh & the ranch was good. The fries were ok. Based upon our dining experience I would not return.

    Mac and cheese with French fry's

    We went there and the waiter remembered what we ordered without a notepad. I don't know how to feel about that. It's almost 4 stars, maybe like 3.5. The inside was boring and I wish they had more spaced out seating. The food was mid but not that much flavor. We got the kids meal and it didn't come with the free ice cream scoop or side even after we asked for it.

    We were easily able to get a table for 7 on a Sunday evening for dinner. Their CO2 was down so they didn't have any beers available on tap, but they had a good selection of cans. I had the strawberry kiwi burst sour which was tasty, and surprisingly not way overpriced for a can of beer. We had the friend pickles to start which were great! I had the fried green tomato sandwich that was just ok - I think I'd opt for something else next time. Prices on food were also really reasonable! We had my son with us, and appreciated that they had a kids menu with pb&j and it came with vanilla ice cream.

    Brussels sprouts
    Christine W.

    Amazing food, superb service, and the ambiance is relatively nice. I got Brussels sprouts for the first time from them today and they were delectable! Just the right amount of salt. Their fish and chips are always good, definitely a must-have for people who go for the first time. My boyfriend got a chicken Gouda wrap that's also consistently good.

    Birria tacos
    Marissa M.

    After attending a local event at the Cary Theater my friend suggested we grab a late bite at Crosstown. They have a nice spacious patio area for dining so we decided to try eating outdoors. Service was prompt upon arrival. Our waiter suggested the birria tacos. He shared that the pub prides itself on " authentic flavorful tacos". My friend had grilled wings, pimento cheese balls and a salad. I had the fried green tomatoes, birria tacos by recommendation and a whiskey sour. Service was very slow outside. Our waiter had our food served to us but never came back to check on us until it was time to check out. I understand it's late night and staffing is limited. The food was very good with the exception of the fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes were under ripe and too hard to serve for this recipe. The pimento cheese balls were excellent. Two of my favorite North Carolina southern classics. The convenience of late night hours until 2am, and location is unmatched for this area and the food was good. I would definitely return.

    Pimento Cheese Balls
    MK W.

    We went on a Wednesday night and sat inside at a high top. The initial bartender didn't seem like she really wanted to wait on us but the one who checked us out was extremely nice. It was very dark inside and loud even though not super crowded. Sitting outside would have probably been the better option. The food was ok but nothing that would draw me back. The pimento cheese fritters were still cold inside. The house chips had no seasoning or flavor. And ranch is an additional .50.

    Grilled Reuben Sandwich
    Kristine U.

    My boyfriend and I were in the area and gave this place a try based on the great Yelp reviews. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip to start and it was really good. For our entrees, I ordered the chicken Gouda wrap with fries and my boyfriend had the Reuben with fries. I also had a beer. I was surprised that they didn't have a better draft beer selection. I went with the Pernicious. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I am definitely going to return to try the wings and fish and chips.

    Dining area

    Crosstown pub is located in downtown Cary. Outdoor patio area is always poppin during the weekend and weekends. Bar area is nice. Tends to be busy Friday and Saturday nights and we'll as Sundays durning football season. Today we stopped for a little raining day lunch. We both wanted the fish and chips to eat which are always excellent. This time I opted for the fisherman's catch which is a special item this month (probably for lent) It came with their fried fish , calamari and shrimp. The fish was cooked to perfection as always. The calamari and shrimp were unfortunately over cooked. That tends to happen with specials so not mad at all. Slaw was crisp and sweet. I had the French onion soup as well. Soooooo good. Nice and salty and savory beef and onion flavor. Will definitely get the soup again. Next time I think I'm gonna stick with the large order of fish and chips. Lol

    A gem that downtown Cary has to offer. I finally visited the new location, which is right next door to the previous location. The newer location now has a larger patio. I'm usually in the moment and enjoying the company I'm in that I forget to capture pictures. Great spot for late-night "real quality" food. I have never been disappointed. The staff here are always happy to serve customers and are pleasant. There are drinks special daily, and they aren't stingy or excessively expensive. The prices are reasonable, and they have not tacked on an automatic gratuity of 18% ever! My party is usually small. Great service, food, and drinks here. It's never a disappointment.

    I was on a mission for lengua (beef tongue) tacos, and Esmeralda Grill popped up at exactly the…read moreright time. Let me just say: my wish was fulfilled. We ordered two taco platters, loaded with an incredible lineup: Cachete -- Pork Cheek Barbacoa -- Braised Beef Carnitas -- Pork Buche -- Pork Stomach Chorizo -- Mexican Sausage Lengua -- Beef Tongue Both platters came with rice and beans, and everything was packed with authentic flavor. The lengua was exactly what I was looking for--tender, flavorful, and absolutely worth the search. The cachete and barbacoa were equally impressive, while the carnitas, buche, and chorizo rounded out an outstanding taco lineup. And of course, a large horchata to complete the experience. Esmeralda Grill delivers the kind of Mexican food that makes you stop and appreciate every bite. Authentic flavors, generous portions, and a menu that gives you plenty of reasons to come back. Definitely one of the best Mexican joints in Cary--and easily my favorite find in town. 5 stars without hesitation.

I usually rotate between the tacos, enchiladas, and molcajetes, and while the tacos themselves are just okay, the overall experience is solid. The fresh chips are easily some of the best I've had at a Mexican restaurant (warm and crisp). Add queso to those chips and it really seals the deal. They more than make up for the tacos being a bit underwhelming and are honestly reason enough to come back. This is a great neighborhood spot if you're looking for authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent chips and dips (biggest downside is no liquor aka no margaritas). Not every dish is a knockout, but the highlights keep it comfortably in 4-star territory.

When you arrive, there is plenty of parking around the building, and entrances in the front and on the right side. Once inside, you'll walk up to counter and place your order. Your then given a order number and it's open seating. Your number will be called out in Spanish when your food is ready and you'll pick it up at the counter. I ordered an al pastor taco which unfortunately was not good. It came out extremely cold and needed a lot of salsa for it to have any flavor. I also ordered a steak burrito which was much better and was served with melted cheese on the top. There were fatty pieces throughout the burrito but this was far better than the taco. Lastly, I ordered a horchata but it tasted like grainy and wasn't great. If I'm in the area again I may give this a try but I'd definitely stick with a burrito so your food is hot.

This place is frequented by construction and other blue color workers, so you know it's gotta be bussin for the value. I ordered a variety of different tacos; pollo, asada, Al pastor, lingua and loroco pupusa. The chicken is very bland, the safe option for people with low spice tolerance. The other meats have decent flavor but tend to be on the dry and chewy side. The pupusas are lovely and I always enjoy watching them assemble and fry on the griddle. The cortido is a nice crunch and if you want other options, they have a salsa bar to tack on more. The staff speak Spanish and will try to explain what an item is, but it's best to study before hand. They're really nice and patient and will try to describe something if you didn't prepare ;) Easy lunch and quick dinner option.
