I'd heard really good things about Norse Brewing Longhouse, so I decided to check it out while I…read morewas in Zebulon, and I'm glad I did! I ordered a burger and fries, and while both were really good, neither came out particularly hot, which was probably the only thing keeping the meal from being great. The service, though, was wonderful. My waitress/bartender was incredibly sweet and welcoming, and everyone I interacted with was great. The rooftop seating was easily one of my favorite parts. It was such a nice place to sit, relax, and spend an evening. The whole restaurant has this interesting "dive bar turned family restaurant" kind of vibe--which sounds like a strange combination, but somehow it really works. Good food, genuinely kind people, and a rooftop that makes you want to hang around for a while. Definitely glad I stopped in, and I'd happily visit again!

While the staff were very nice, there was only one person running around managing all the tables, and my salmon salad was terrible - I specifically asked how the jalapeños were cut, so I could take them out if they were too hot - and was reassured that they were cut in coins/slices and would be easy to remove. When the salad came, they were diced super tiny and super spicy - and really difficult to remove. Also, a good part of my salad was avocado, and it was so unripe that it was crunchy! When I mentioned these concerns to the staff, the lady apologized about the jalapeños and said her niece works in the kitchen and had told her that she's been throwing away the soft avocados because that means they're not good anymore. Who has kitchen staff (especially family members) that don't even know what a ripe avocado looks and feels like?!? She did acknowledge and apologize that my salad was nothing like I had expected (or they had advertised), but did not offer any sort of a discount - although we also did not ask. As the only place with actual food in that area, we had high hopes, but sadly we will definitely NOT be back. The only reason I did not leave one star is because my husband ordered the beet salad. It was tiny, but tasted good.

It's super close to UNC's campus, with street parking out front and a garage around back, which makes it pretty convenient, and there's plenty of indoor seating too. They serve grain and salad bowls--you can build your own or pick one of their signature bowls. I tried the new Garu bowl which features Korean BBQ chicken, honey sesame sticks, kimchi, and sesame caesar dressing. Service was quick, and the portion was solid (definitely enough for two meals). Everything tasted fresh, but the chicken was a little dry and didn't really have much Korean BBQ flavor, which was kind of disappointing. Still, it was a refreshing meal overall, especially for a hot day. I'll definitely be back to try other combos--just probably going to choose a different protein next time.

I tell myself every time that I'm going to try something new--but I just can't help it, it's that good. I get it with the house-made chipotle ranch (which is amazing) and usually add chicken. The dressing really brings everything together, and I recommend getting it on the side if you don't plan to finish the salad right away--it helps keep everything fresh. The only downside is the price--adding protein can make the bowl a bit expensive--but honestly, I'm willing to pay more for high-quality, fresh ingredients. The staff is always quick, efficient, and helpful, which makes the experience even better. They also offer gluten-free desserts from JP's Pastry, which is a great bonus! Highly recommend if you want a fresh, clean meal that actually tastes amazing.

Will & Well is a great addition to Boxyard if you're looking for a fresh salad, grain bowl, or…read moresmoothie option. The setup is counter service, with a handful of premade salads and bowls on the menu, or you can build your own. The build-your-own option starts at $12.99 and includes your base, five toppings, one crunchy/dry topping, and dressing. Proteins are extra and range from about $4.25-$6.50, with options including tofu, shrimp, chicken, steak, and tuna. I opted for a build-your-own bowl with chicken, which came out to just under $20 before tip. At first, that felt a little pricey to me, but the portion size was absolutely massive. Honestly, it was large enough to easily make two meals, which made the value feel much better. The woman helping me was incredibly friendly and even let me sample three different dressings before deciding. I also appreciated that you can get your dressing on the side if you prefer. All 3 I tried were good, but all very different, and I'm glad I had a chance to try them! One thing to note is that it was fairly warm inside the business, which gave me a little pause considering it's a salad-focused concept. That said, everything tasted fresh and high quality. There were only two employees working during my visit on a Wednesday around 6:30, and with about 4-5 people ahead of me, it took around 20 minutes to place my order, get my bowl made, and check out. The staff was working hard, and being incredibly helpful, but if you're in a hurry, just plan accordingly. Overall, I'd definitely return. It's nice to have a quality salad option at Boxyard, the ingredients were fresh, the portions were generous, and the service was helpful and kind. Just be prepared that there may be a bit of a wait and to spend around $20 if you're adding protein (but you can easily share or make two meals from it!!!) My picture doesn't do the size justice I promise!

I'd seen that celebrity Tabitha Brown stopped by recently and loved the salads, which made me want to visit even more. I stopped through on a weekday afternoon. I ordered the signature salad, Salsa Verde with quinoa (you can add your choice of grain) and a freshly made hibiscus juice (so refreshing!). Everything was so fresh and so delicious. The salad was coated with just the amount of dressing and the sweet potatoes on the salad were a special treat, making the salad both unique and delicious! The hibiscus juice was refreshing and not syrupy sweet like many juices from other establishments. I will definitely be back to try other salads!
