French Fries
Shakira W.

I came to Frankie's with a group under the impression that I was just going to get a few drinks at the bar, socialize and play some games. Well I can say that ate and played more games than drank. The food here was surprisingly really good. I ate at the Chill Lounge Bar area and the bartender provided such amazing service this night. It's too bad I cannot remember this man's name but he was awesome. My friend and I ordered chicken quesadillas, French fries, and a slice of pizza. The bartender told us the food would be really good, but of course we expect some bias. He wasn't wrong! And the portions are pretty large btw. We could have shared the quesadillas. We both took half of them home and shared the fries. Everything was fresh and hot and I will certainly return with a group. Of course the games were a blast. Had an amazing time with ALL ADULTS btw playing laser tag and go karts lol we were like big kids again. Laser tag was so much fun. As soon as they split us up into teams and let us into the area, it was like kids on a playground again. Overall, it was an awesome time. I'd even suggest team-building activities for corporate here if possible.

This place is a surprising lot of fun! And an excellent afternoon outing with your adult brother while the elderly parents need an afternoon nap! Everything is pay-per-use, so there's no cover-charge. There's a small but exciting roller-coaster, lots of indoor games, and some thrilling go-karts. Plus to wind down, quite a lot of mini-golf -- 3 sets of 18 holes! It was getting chilly at dusk so we packed it in. But I'm told they have the lights on until midnight -- might be fun in summertime.

Fun place to go! We did mini golf, arcade, drift track and batting cage. It is a bit expensive especially for the arcade machine. At times some of the attraction were closed so be aware that all of them may not be open if you go during a slow time. Would go again!

Highly overrated entertainment center. I am warning parents not to waste their time or hard earned money here. You won't get much for the value here. I read all the reviews and many spoke about how fun Frankie's is. When we arrived I was highly underwhelmed. This place doesn't hold a candle to Dave & Busters. It has half of the Dave & Busters Arcade games and boasts attractions/ rides such as Mini Gulf, Go Karts and Laser Tag. Unfortunately the go karts were closed and only open during weekends which is limiting. The bumper cars were disappointing because the area they are housed in is the size of a mouse hole ! Very unfair. The prizes are garbage. You would have to spend $100 each child for them to score a prize of actual quality. This place needs to take tips from Dave & Busters. Where kids can actually earn decent prizes after winning tickets. This place was a huge disappointment even to the kids. I really want my money back.

We love coming here after school with my toddler son! There are so many fun indoor games and a full mini golf, go karts, and more outdoors! We love playing basketball and especially walking the golf course!

Great place for kids and adults. They have a restaurant & bar. Great outdoor rides and go carts.

Natika G.

So much family fun for everyone! There is something here for everyone. Games, laser tag, rides and food. Load your card up and have a blast! Win tickets and get a prize before you leave. They have indoor fun and outdoor fun. Plenty of parking is available and the inside is spacious. At times the place gets packed so the weekdays are the perfect time to visit!

Not my cup of tea. Came as an observer for my niece and nephew. If tight crowds, screaming kids, and emptying your slush fund is your idea of fun then this is the spot for you.

Rookie Trac was definitely the boys favorite!

Every worker looks like they hate their job. The rude, negativity ruins the fun experience.

Brier Creek Country Club - Nachos with chicken

Brier Creek Country Club

This was my second time coming to the Brier Creek country club for an event. Both times I enjoyed…read moremyself. There is plenty of parking in front of the country club. The ballroom that we utilized is spacious with multiple tables and chairs and enough room for a dance floor and/or stage. The venue was nicely decorated and had festive decorations such as large Christmas trees and lights inside. There were also beautiful chandeliers inside of the ballroom. Water, salad dressing, butter, and rolls were on our table and we were served salads. The servers were really friendly and helpful. The food was served to us buffet style by the staff and it was good. One of my my favorites was the bbq salmon topped with corn. I had never had salmon prepared this way but all of the flavors came together nicely. I would def consider hosting an event here or recommending someone contact this business to host their event at this venue.

I took my two small hungry children to Brier Creek Country Club (of which I was a member) on a…read moreSunday afternoon dressed in shorts and a T-shirt. I was denied entry into Deke's (the ground floor bar and restaurant) "Because I was wearing a T-shirt, which didn't meet the new dress code". I looked in disbelieve at that moment, to see two gentlemen actually wearing T-shirts, at which time I asked to speak to the manager. The lady fired back, "I AM the manager", at which time I asked to speak to a higher level manager, as two others were wearing T-shirts. She resisted to get the higher level manager, and continued to argue that that was their new dress code, at which time I asked again to speak "to the higher level manager". She resisted again, so I asked again. She then replied, "Don't yell at me", which was a fabrication, and went to get the Food and Beverage Director. She was obviously angry because I asked to speak to the higher level manager. The Food and Beverage Director came (David), he looked disheveled, in a 1950s suit, Beard also disheveled, and he had a strange odor. By his behavior, it was clear he was informed that I had "yelled" at the other lady, in her words, as his attitude was as bad as his appearance. He asked if I, "was a member", of which I said I was. I gave him both my name and my wife's name. He then looked up the wrong name, and exclaimed to everyone in the club that I was, "NOT a member". This was found to be false an hour later, when my wife called back in to check on why they claimed the membership was not correct. He didn't look up my name or my wife's name correctly, saying we must not have paid the membership bill, in front of the other members. It was a complete fail. It got even worse. At that point, I pointed out the 2nd patron who was wearing a T-shirt, the Food and Beverage Manager grabbed my right shoulder to escort me out (after telling everyone in earshot I was not a member, which he was incorrect). I couldn't believe it. I shoved him back, told him not to make physical contact with me. I was asked to depart the club, which I did, with my two hungry toddlers. The Food and Beverage Director, who must weigh 250 lbs, continued to provoke and follow me in close proximity, even after I was outside. I did an about face, and told him not to invade my space, and that he was a fat man who should not be following me so closely. He then backed away. I must admit, I should have have called him a fatso, as it had nothing to do with his incompetence or his bad hygiene. I took hit personally, while pushing a baby carriage out of the restaurant, with two hungry toddlers. Brier Creek has been known in the RDU area to be a C-grade club by many professionals, but since their last General Manager passed away unexpectedly, they've really gone down hill to a D-grade club. Try the other clubs in Raleigh and Durham, if you want to go to a place that has competent and courteous personnel. In summary, they don't enforce their dress code equally, and turned me away, saying I was not a member, with two hungry babies, because of a T-shirt, while two other patrons were wearing T-shirts. Some history: I had contacted the Club Manager, Stefan Russell, in a private meeting a few months prior to this incident, to politely let him know the service in Deke's was horrible after waiting 15 minutes for a server. I explained to him that I had worked 15 years as a server in restaurants. He was polite and courteous, and we discussed his being from Europe. It crossed my mind, this might have been why the floor manager, a short woman, may have initially denied me entry, even though two other men were sitting near the front desk, also wearing T-shirts. She had no explanation of why they were wearing T-shirts, however I was being denied entry. The Club Manager, Doug Anderson, obviously doesn't know how to select or train managers at Brier Creek Country Club. For this reason, I predict there will be a continued subpar experience for the members of Brier Creek Country Club.

We were searching for a place to take family who was visiting from upstate New York and decided ZincHouse as an option. Close by, I had never ventured out to ZincHouse, but we always said we would eventually discover it when time permitted. This was the time. I was AMAZED, as was our family. Beautifully situated, even in the throes of the cold winter, the entrance to the place was stately and I could just tell that in the spring and summer it has to be breathtaking. Escorted in and to the first bar, beer and wine was offered. We elected to go upstairs to the sportsy bar as the UNC game was on. I went over to the other building to get a delicious bourbon double and returned to our party upstairs who had purchased wine bottle number 1. A couple of hours later, three bottles of wine later, and a few amazing sour Mango beers later, we all sat around and discussed what an awesome outing it was, and how memorable. A big score for the parents who want to return just so they can go back to the ZincHouse again. Hungry, we went to the food truck, and ordered some tasty food and carried back to the table and then left proclaiming that we would be back again very soon and partake in the fun for St Pats Day! Yes, it was that great of an experience. I cannot wait to see this place in all its epic majesty in spring! You must check out ZincHouse. Next time I will update with pics.

It's peaceful, inviting, and perfect for unwinding after a long day or enjoying a relaxing weekend. I love the flexibility here. You can bring your own food or enjoy whatever food truck they have that day which makes every visit feel a little different. The views are beautiful and whether you sit indoors or outdoors, the space is just easy to enjoy. Their wine selection is fantastic as well. There's truly something for everyone and I always leave happy It's one of those places that instantly puts you in a good mood. And the drinks come out fast considering how busy it gets. If you're looking for a relaxing, scenic spot with great wine and amazing vibes, ZincHouse is it. Highly recommend!
