We stopped by just after 10:30 on a Saturday and it was empty, including the drive-thru line. We ordered a bunch of breakfast sandwiches, and two picnic-sized Bojangles. I was disappointed when I opened them up to find that they were both only half-full. What a jip! I had the cajun chicken biscuit, which was pretty good. It's nice when you dip it in a side of their sausage gravy. We also got their grits to try, which I didn't care for. The texture was off and it was just swimming in butter. Not sure if the skimpy bo'rounds are a regular occurrence here, but just be sure to check em before you leave!

It took well over a minute for someone to start to take my order. They asked me to hold on a minute which is fine. While waiting for almost another 1 minute, she took my order. Not great but no biggie. During that time she had her microphone on and I could hear the internal nightmare of the staff talking to each other. As I pulled up to the window I noticed the trash can for the drive through was overflowing. Trash was everywhere. I let the girl at the window know as I paid for my chicken sandwich. She shrugged it off without a word. I then sat there at the window waiting for over 4 minutes before she came back and asked me to move to up to the the spot where they would then bring out my sandwich. I did so and waited another 6 minutes and no sandwich. The place was NOT busy. There was 1 table occupied and only a couple cars came through after me. I then went inside to get my money back as at this point I was pissed. I waited at the register (nobody in front of me) for another 4-5 minutes. So I am just standing at the register watching the circus of clowns accomplish very little. During this time I hear one employee ask if a sandwich sitting in the back was for the "car "waiting". The other employee said "yes" and I watch him put the sandwich down and walk to the back. Nobody seemed interested in actually bringing it out. Finally someone picked up the sadwich and started to bring it out and I stopped them and said I no longern wanted the cold sandwich and wanted my money back. The girl who took my order came over. No apology. No attempt to rectify. She just opened the register and handed me my money without a word. 17 minutes in total. Tons of places to eat in Cary. You can do better than here.

When they ask if you want seasoning on the fries, the answer is absolutely yes. They're great for gluten-free options. They have a completely separate fryer and prep station for people with allergies, which makes a huge difference. I had a colleague with both gluten and dairy allergies, and cross-contamination was always stressful when eating out. Corbett's was one of the few places she genuinely felt safe eating. The restaurant itself has a classic old-school diner feel: order at the counter, grab a fountain drink or a fun bottled soda (there is MUCH more than root beer), and they'll bring your food out to you. There are bottle cap openers mounted on the walls, crates for empties by the trash cans, covered outdoor seating, and prices that are refreshingly affordable. Final thought: the Sodalicious sauce is ridiculously good.

We'd heard plenty of good things about Lawrence Barbecue, so we finally made the trip--and it lived…read moreup to the buzz. We started at the bar with martinis and Old Fashioneds before turning our attention to the food. The smoked meats were the real stars. We ordered pork belly burnt ends, pork ribs, smoked turkey, and grilled oysters, and each brought something different to the table. The burnt ends were rich, smoky, and deeply flavorful, while the ribs had that combination of tender meat and well-developed bark that you hope for at a serious barbecue joint. The smoked turkey was surprisingly juicy, the brisket moist and smoky, and the grilled oysters were an excellent change of pace. What makes Lawrence particularly interesting is chef and pitmaster Jake Wood's approach to barbecue. There's a clear Texas influence in the low-and-slow wood-fired smoking, but the cooking also reflects Carolina traditions and Southern ingredients. It doesn't feel like a restaurant simply trying to reproduce Texas barbecue in North Carolina; there's a distinct point of view here. The Cary location is spacious and stylish, with a lively atmosphere that feels more like a contemporary restaurant than a traditional barbecue joint. I also liked the fact that the bar is a destination in itself, rather than an afterthought. The cocktails were well made, and the service throughout our visit was friendly, attentive, and professional. I also appreciated the little details. In the bathroom, they actually provide dental floss--something I have never seen at a restaurant before. It's a small touch, but after a meal of smoked meats, it was surprisingly useful and definitely appreciated. It says something about the attention to detail and the thought that went into the guest experience. Lawrence has come a long way from its original shipping-container beginnings at Boxyard RTP. The new Cary location feels like a natural evolution of the concept--bigger, more polished, and ambitious without losing sight of what brought people there in the first place: really good barbecue. For me, the combination of serious wood-fired barbecue, creative Southern touches, good cocktails, attentive service, and thoughtful details makes Lawrence Barbecue a standout dining option in the Raleigh-Cary area.

Your hunt for first-rate pastries and bagels ends right here. It's not surprising that there's a…read moregreat deli like this in Cary -- a city as stuffed with new Northeastern transplants as it is depleted of old Southeastern woodlands. Despite the overdeveloped bleakness, Cary is, at least, a good town to find many foods, markets, and restaurants otherwise unavailable in the region. The pastry case has a wide variety of options -- everything you might hope to find in a Portuguese or Italian bakery in New England in the 1980s (my touchstone for fundamental pastries). They are all apparently made on the premises, and have the particular look of pastries from the Northeast. Purely in the interest of scientific research, rather than barbaric gluttony, I tried an apple danish, a cheese danish, and a lemon danish. The cheese danish was faultless in taste: The filling was classic New England bakery cheese filling, and the pastry dough was very soft, and light, but not crumbly. Unlike at some Italian bakeries, it wasn't edge-to-edge filled with cheese (though it was the most edge-to-edge of all three danishes, as is customary for the cheese ones, in my experience); you can, and should, easily remedy this by ordering multiples. The apple danish was of the more cinnamon-crumble-forward style, but it was still terrific. The apples were well-coated small soft bits (unlike at some lesser pastry shops where the apples are crunchy undersweetened slices or chunks). Lemon danishes are very hard to find anywhere, and it was exciting to see one here. It was also excellent. The lemon filling sweated a little bit, so be prepared to get a little sticky (well worth it -- since this is definitely the right kind of filling for a lemon danish). The bagels are also top-notch, as you'd expect. They are a tiny bit lighter and smaller than the classic NY deli bagels were a few decades ago. Which is probably a good thing, since the New York ones seemed to be made from lead-208, all-gluten flour, and condensed dwarf star. The taste is pretty correct, though (as opposed to another bagel shop in the region which does manage to make gigantic leaden NY bagels, but which taste like dense white bread). All of the expected varieties of bagels were at the ready, and in good supply. The bagel/egg/cheese/meat sandwiches are pretty much NY deli accurate (but a little lighter -- which, again, is most welcome, compared to spending the entire morning defeating a NY bodega BEC, and the entire afternoon groaning), and carefully yet briskly prepared (with very good quality meat, and with yellow -- the tastier color -- American). (There also was a slice of chocolate cake -- it, unfortunately, was of the minimally frosted type, with some sort of ill-advised sour cream mixture between the layers. We'll just forget about that item.) The shop itself isn't quite as densely packed (with either people or pastry) as a NY deli, and is also much cleaner and kinder. The service is simply excellent. Customers are all quickly moved through the line, and the orders are prepared very efficiently. Despite the speediness, everyone behind the counter is very friendly and as patient as needed. The speed of the North is combined with the friendliness of the South -- a perfect combination, especially for those of us who are hopelessly impatient, but have no desire to ever be yelled at while at a deli counter again. A great business. I hope they flourish for a very long time.

First, the menu is written on the wall, but it looks like it may have been written years ago because much of it is nearly illegible--as the picture I included shows. When I asked the gentleman taking my order what the menu said and what some of the options were, he seemed almost as unaware as I was. Instead of helping me understand the menu or offering a few popular choices at different price points, he began making higher-priced suggestions that really weren't very helpful. At that point, I finally just asked for an egg and cheese sandwich because I figured that was something simple and safe to try. And I'm glad I did! The egg and cheese was actually very good, and honestly, that is the only reason I didn't give NY Deli a lower rating. The food showed me that there may be a lot of potential here--the ordering experience just needs some serious attention. Please consider rewriting the menu on the wall so customers can actually read it, providing paper menus, making sure staff are familiar with the menu and can offer helpful recommendations, or preferably a combination of all three. Good food shouldn't be this difficult to order. Make the experience as good as the sandwich was, and I'd be much more inclined to come back.

There were 2 cars in drive thru & many more in the lot. So, I didn't think I'd get the quality of food that I ended up getting. When I got to the speaker, I was greeted by a guy saying, "Hey, how's it going?" I politely ordered my kids meal (chicken strips, fries, & Pepsi), and he told me to go to the 2nd window. I was greeted by a nice young lady who simply took my card without even making sure she had the right customer. She handed me a tea when I ordered Pepsi. I asked her if she charged me for the correct meal being that she gave me the wrong drink & she frantically asked the guy behind her who assured her that she did. That was fine. She handed me my box, sauce, & correct drink & I made my way down Hwy 55 towards 540 to go all the way back home. Before getting on 55 good, I opened my box to begin nibbling on my fries & was disgusted to find out that they were old, soggy, and tasted like they'd been sitting in a warmer for awhile. I scrapped those & hoped that the chicken strips would be better. NOT!! They, too, were old and could've easily been from yesterday by the taste of them. It's too early to have food this old & I didn't feel like turning around to complain. So, I will just warn you that if you're going to visit, check your food's quality before leaving their lot. I see now why they have such a low score on Yelp.

Every bite hit. The bread had that perfect warm toast, the meats were stacked generously, and the balance of tangy, savory, crunchy, and spicy was chef's kiss. The caramelized onions with the hot peppers especially took it over the top. Also grabbed a large Strawberry Dragonfruit refresher, which was ice-cold and ridiculously refreshing after airport chaos and North Carolina humidity. Exactly what I needed. If you're anywhere near RDU and debating a stop before heading home -- do it. This Potbelly absolutely delivered. The Wreck remains undefeated.

My favorite order is The Wreck! it's loaded with all the meats and always hits the spot. One of Potbelly's biggest strengths is the ability to pile on condiments, veggies, and dressings, which makes it easy to tailor your sandwich exactly how you like it (also a big fan of their hot peppers). That flexibility goes a long way in keeping things interesting even if you order the same sandwich regularly. We've also used Potbelly for office catering, and it's been a consistently good experience. Orders are straightforward, food travels well, and it's a crowd-pleaser for a group with different preferences. It's not trying to be gourmet, but it's dependable, filling, and well-executed. A strong option for lunch, group orders, or when you want a sandwich that you can really customize.
