The counter folks are extremely nice, and it appears that everything is prepared fresh. The burgers are good, nice maillard crust on the burgers which adds to the good flavor! Had the fried zucchini sticks and they were top-notch! The biggest caveat is: don't go there in a t-shirt and shorts, it's literally like eating in a walk-in freezer, it's so cold that it's uncomfortable. But definitely recommended for a quality burger!

The bacon was the texture of ready to eat/heat bacon which took away from the burger. Do I recommend? I wouldn't go out of my way for this unless I'm just riding by the restaurants. It was ok! The fires were hot and fresh but a bit too salty for me. I suggest ordering those without salt to control that yourself. Honestly, if I ever went back I'd just do a regular burger without the bacon and no fries . Although the fries were decent. I'm not a huge fan! The service was satisfactory here. Nothing to really call out!

If you've ever wondered whether a place called Scratch Kitchen actually cooks from scratch or just…read morehas really good handwriting on the menu, let me put your mind at ease -- this stop is absolutely worth pulling off the road for. I rolled in and ordered the Chicken Pad Thai, and let me tell you, this bowl had personality. The sauce had a little zip -- not the kind that makes you question your life choices, but the kind that taps you on the shoulder and says, "Hey buddy, wake up, we're doing this." The noodles were spot‑on: not mushy, not stiff, just that perfect "I know what I'm doing" texture. The chicken was so tender it practically apologized for being delicious, and the tofu? Locked in the flavor like it had signed a lease. Every bite felt intentional -- like someone in the kitchen actually cares, which is refreshing in a world where some places treat seasoning like a suggestion. Service was friendly, the vibe was relaxed, and the food came out like it had somewhere important to be -- my table. Scratch Kitchen gets a solid 5‑Star Green P -- pull over, park it, and enjoy the ride.

If you're looking for a craft beer spot in Cary that absolutely nails both the food and the vibe,…read moreScratch Kitchen & Taproom deserves a spot at the top of your list. We grabbed a table out on the patio, which honestly ended up being one of the highlights of the night. Every so often, a freight train would roll by in the distance, giving the whole evening this oddly charming small-town-industrial backdrop that somehow worked perfectly with a cold local beer in hand. Speaking of beer -- I started with the SOUTHERN BASIL SAISON from Fullsteam, and wow. Saison lovers, do not skip this one. Crisp, refreshing, slightly peppery, with just enough basil on the finish to make it feel unique without overpowering the style. Then came the appetizers, and this is where things escalated quickly. First up: the Pork Belly Bites. Crispy pork belly tossed with Brussels sprouts in a Thai chili-hoisin glaze, topped with scallion slaw and sesame seeds. This dish was absolutely unreal. Sweet, savory, crispy, sticky, spicy -- every bite hit. Honestly, the ratio of pork belly to everything else was wildly generous, and the bowl disappeared embarrassingly fast at our table. Mandatory order. Then the Scratch Fries arrived, and suddenly we understood why people probably split meals here. Hand-cut fries loaded with shaved ribeye, Worcestershire cheese sauce, spicy bib sauce, candied bacon, ranch, and scallions... basically chaos in the best possible way. The portion was massive, decadent, and fully committed to excess. I genuinely don't know how anyone transitions from these appetizers to an actual entrée without needing a nap afterward. Scratch Kitchen & Taproom somehow manages to feel like a neighborhood hangout for beer nerds and a destination for seriously good comfort food. Great patio, killer local taps, huge portions, and appetizers that completely stole the show..

Pretty neat rendition of a traditional product. I had a Heat wave burger, which I thought was going to be really spicy, but was pretty medium, for me... I am from NM, though, so I have a little bit of a spice skew. The burger was nicely cooked, and although the fries came out cold, they remade some for me that were hot and pretty good. They also had a nice beer and cocktail selection, so if you are in the mood, you can get your hop or wheat on, or marg... Nice looking spot on the inside, with either ample table or bar seating, so take your pick. This is the spot where they just announced that the theater will be closing, and demolished forever... in Park West, and I did notice a lot of closed businesses, but that I think is a separate issue relating to the ridiculous rents that they are asking for in Wake as a whole.

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.

It was so good and tasty I'd go back again today to have another! All their burgers are a half pound, which is usually too much for me, but this combination sounded so good I had to go for it. The burger has a combo of grilled onions and jalapeños on top with blue cheese, bacon, and blueberry jam. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, tang, and every now and then, a kick. Whoever came up with this had a brilliant idea!! It's not only a keeper, but a must have and must try for those who haven't. Sorry, no pictures. Once I took my first bite it was gone in no time! We were told the place was just bought by the new Indian restaurant next to the bubble tea shop beside them. I do hope Two Guys will remain as is because it's a winner.

High top and bar seat in the bar. Tables and booth seating in the restaurant. 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. Another complimenting dish to the ale is definitely fried pickle. Portion is good=big. Oh, came here another time. Burger was good again. I ordered Philly cheese, which I loved the taste but the ground beef instead of shaved beef was not for me. Service: both times, the service was great. Fast and very attentive. Price: I think the price is reasonable if not, really great. $4 pint amber ale? It's a steal!

I let the waitress know the fries were cold and she graciously took then and had them remade. The second set, arrived hot and floppy...and were unseasoned. The burger itself was terrible. The meat patties were not seasoned and overcooked (ordered medium arrived well done). Ultimately, the food was just disappointing. Lastly, I saw one of the cooks vaping over the food.
