This is a bar with a little restaurant on the side. Had a hamburger and it was excellent as always. Love the hand cut fries also. Updated the menu to reflect current prices read more

The lowdown: Small little dive bar that serves the best burger I've had in a LONG. Service was not the best, but it wasn't horrible either. Offers pool tables, a jukebox, slot machines, food, indoor and outdoor seating. Decided on a whim to stop and check out some food at this local establishment. The parking lot was surprisingly full for 8 pm on a Tuesday night. Inside was decorated with your typical bar-type neon signs and offered several pub type tables, booths and bar seating. We were hungry so we decided to order chicken wings since I have read they were good in some of the reviews on YELP, well, wouldn't you k ow they were out of chicken! Not only were they out of chicken but also Mozzeralla sticks! Which is exactly the two things I wanted to order. I ended up getting a bacon cheese burger which I couldn't even finish. The food was surprisingly delicious! Our server was just barely adequate. In the end, we had to bring our bill up to the bar to check out because she was talking to someone at the bar and didn't see that we were sitting there ready(this is the main reason for 4 stars versus 5). read more

becareful dont give your card here. A bartender put a $20 tip on my card I never gave her. They are crooks. No wonder why this place is empty all the time. I'll never go there again. read more

The service was exceptional and the food was good. My friend and I got a beef hotdog each, salads, fries and sweet teas. Portions fed us well and at a good price. read more

Wanted to bring my teenager and her friends for a birthday party; called and asked that someone open for us at 3pm on Sunday so the kids could shoot some pool. I was going to order snacks and soft drinks for the party. Had several calls with the lady to confirm all details; got an ironclad promise someone would be there and open for us. We arrive at 3pm; nobody's there and the doors are closed. No one answers the phone. My daughter was utterly disappointed. A 15-th birthday only happens once and they ruined it, great job. read more

Wings, beer and music, what more could you want? Their wings are awesome! I always have a good time at the pocket.

I am so glad that I found this bar! I'm from a very rural town in the Midwest, and I have never felt so at home. The food was impeccable, and the drinks were super cheap! Huge shoutout to the bartender Denise for keeping us fully loaded and treated us like family from the minute we walked in the door. read more

Great little bar with live music! We especially enjoyed hearing "Lily and the H3llions"!!!!

The waitress Christie was the worst. This has been the second time my wife and I went to eat on the Biggie's Steak House side of the Korner Pocket. She can't cook to save her life, and gets the orders wrong blaming her co-workers for being dipshits. The first time there we ordered two Cheeseburger combos. Under cooked and the fries were soggy. Tonight, we went there to eat and see the band Electric Carnaval and lucky us she took our order again. A 16oz ribeye with baked potato for me, and a steak sandwich with fries for my wife. We sat there for 1 whole hour waiting for our food to brought to us. She brings the salad with the wrong dressing, ok no biggie. When the main courses did finally get there an hour later, it tasted bland and no baked potato and no fries. Christie stomps in and out of the kitchen yelling at the other cook then takes off, nowhere to be found leaving the other poor cook to fend for herself. After we finished, we sat there waiting to pay, 15 minutes go by and no Christie. Finally, I went to the bar to pay. We went around to the outdoor stage to watch the band and low and behold Christie was at the Sugar Shack in back and just left us sitting there at our table. This poor service is a failure in our book, and we will never spend another dime at that dive. This place has always been that sub-par bar you go to once in a while to drink and listen to bands play, but this standard of service is low even for the Korner Pocket. Never again! read more

I always get a weird unwelcome feeling when we order out here. My husband loves the burgers but imho they are not worth the money. It looks and acts like a dicey biker bar. They don't work too hard to make you feel welcome and I feel stupid spending so much money for so little. I think COVID made it worse? read more

Buyer Beware! I came here for the first time after work on a Monday. The bartender was very nice, no issues there. My problem came with my check. I had four double cocktails and a snack size wing appetizer. EIGHTY FREAKING DOLLARS. I get it, some places charge for two drinks when you order a double- they're insane, but they do it. But to do it with no warning is irresponsible. I can go to any prime, high dollar steakhouse in this town and get a larger pour for less than what they're charging. $15.50 for 3oz of Jack Daniel's? No thanks. I'll never be back. read more

Wings were good service was ok they get a little spicy which I don't believe employees should have that much freedom to speak to customers the way they like especially if your a good tipper! read more

AMAZING WINGS AND FRIES!!!!! The bartender was super kind and welcoming! The music was great. The cook also came out and kept us updated on the status of our food which was really nice! Would definitely recommend and definitely visit again!! read more

0 but that's no an option. found herion needle and bag of caps in parking lot. went in told staff they laughed it off. Guess it's cause they know who's it is. yelp wont let me add my picture. owner clearly doesn't care either. read more

Terrible service terrible vibe and rude customer service. Took a hour just to receive shots, I also never received my food so I left . Terrible experience , will never return again. read more

I think they have one of the best burgers in town, but the fries leave something to be desired. They hand cut the fries and they tend to be soggy. People love the wings. The sauced wings seem to be better. I've ordered plain ones and a time or two they have had a burnt taste. That may be attributed to a specific cook. They even make a solid BLT. I know that may sound simplistic, but the way simple meals are prepared say a lot. I've my share of bad BLTs The staff is solid. Shilo is top notch. They have a lot to do there including karaoke, open mic, blues jams, pool tournaments, and the occasional band. read more

Good spot/location, good food, good entertainment (pool table; jukebox; tv sports ), good prices, good ppl.... my kinda fun

Holy Smokes..finally dawned on me the reason I've eaten here so many times is because of the darn good food. KP doesn't pretend to be something they're not. Good food, cold beer and good times. The staff is friendly, the tea is southern perfect and the best hamburger steak with onions in Raleigh. read more

This place doesn't try to add any frill nor does it need to. It's a fully functional biker/blue collar dive, and it completely serves its purpose: cheap beer, good food, pool, and classic rock music. I have been here probably a dozen times now as it is reasonably close to the house and fills in after a night downtown when the wife and I aren't totally ready to call it a night. They have live music on Saturday nights for which they recently built a little stage), and the crowd, while a little tough looking, is quite friendly. I should add that they make very stiff drinks, but not to be friendly or earn high-marks from customers. No, they do it to see if you can handle it. I would give them more stars, but I feel like they wouldn't want them. read more

Philly cheesesteak was sooooo good! Bartender Heather is great! The band they had last night was pretty good. Blues/classic rock with a harmonica player that killed it!! It was our 2nd time and won't be our last. Two coin pool tables inside and 1 outside. Hope they put up some type of heater for the pool table that's outside. Friendly staff & patrons. Very reasonable prices too! read more

Local watering hole close to home. Reasonable prices on beer and friendly service. Exactly average. The wings were also exactly average.

Super yummy! Need to order rare next time but really good! Loaded potato w/ whole strips of bacon. Service was great... super nice people!!! read more

Korner Pocket - Super yummy! Yes the potato has full strips of bacon!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I have tried the food a few times here, and my selections have included their cheeseburger, chicken sandwich, onion rings, salad, grilled ham and cheese, chicken tenders and wings. The food at this place is GOD AWFUL. The only "passable" items are those which are frozen to begin with: Tenders, O-rings, fries. But even those items are greasy and inconsistently cooked. The salad was disgusting - slimy lettuce and the dressing was unremarkable. The last time in, I noticed the Cleanliness GRADE CARD with a big 82 on it. Can't believe I didn't notice that before, but it all made sense. Will never go there again. Yuck. read more

It's a dive bar, but it has the best wings around. The people are friendly, literally the only downfall is the lack of aesthetic appeal. Pool tables, darts, horseshoes, quiet seating away from the bar, indoor and outdoor seating available, mega touch games, gambling, jukebox, ATM, and cigarette machine. read more

I've lived near this place for years and have always wanted to try it but have always been leery of it because of the general "ambiance". So I decided what the heck, what's the worse that could happen? While the crowd is a bit rough around the edges in the pool area, the restaurant area is separated by a door. I got the 12oz. ribeye, baked potato and salad bar. The salad bar have few selections - just the very basics, but everything seemed very fresh. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and the baked potato was passable. While eating one of the bar/pool hall patrons walked through and we struck up a conversation about the football game on the TV. Overall, the food was quite good and both the staff and the other diners/bar patrons were extremely friendly. I'll gladly return again. read more

If u r a fifty yr old white male having a midlfe crisis and own sleeveless shirts and love 80s music this stinky place is for u. If not, I suggest to look elsewhere. Yesterday when we visited and only stayed long enough for a beer and there was a young teenager gal sitting AT THE BAR eating. She looked really annoyed at her loser father bringing her there. It is against the law to have under age people at the bar. With that said u will find cheaper beer at Carolina Ake House up the street with alot better vibe. read more

My visit was for lunch one weekday. Great burger! Huge and delicious! Only big mouths need apply! If you get it with bacon, you're going to get about 8 strips! Really nice. Fabulous chili cheese fries. They said the chili was homemade fresh daily, and the fries were cut that day. The waitress said they were known for their burger and their wings. Loved their burger, so I'll have to go back and have the wings some time. Inside looks a lot nicer than the outside, which is kinda "divey" looking. The left side of the building is a more "family style" dining room, but only has a few tables. Really kinda small. It houses the better-than-you-would-think salad bar, and the buffet bar. A glass door separates this room with the main sports bar room. The main sports bar area has a few pool tables, several pub tables with stools, a bar, and several flat screen tvs on the walls. I think a nice atmosphere for lunch. Their web site has a schedule of the daily buffet contents. Instead of several items on the buffet, this is really one entree with fixins... I guess you can just have as much as you want. read more

Great little local place! Hand cut to order steak was fantastic! The loaded baked potatoes had 4 or 5 whole slices of bacon on it and the all you can eat salad bar was very good with large bowls! Stop on Wednesday nights and meet Shiloh, a very friendly wonderful bartender! Couldn't be more pleasantly surprised! Watch the blonde at the poker machines. Very friendly and talkative! She'll tell more than you need to know! LOL I'll definitely go back when I'm in town! Thanks Shiloh! read more

We all know that the BEST tasting food is found in Drive Ins, Diners and Dives... This is a Dive so dress NOT to impress, but be prepared to have a Delicious "whatever" you chose! AND prepare to come back... because you'll find your way back and have to admit to yourself that the Taste and service is why. It doesn't look like much, probably a Biker Bar from the road but I'm telling you ... Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm read more

Buffet is scary looking, but quite tasty. Expensive for the size and variety, but you can definitely get your moneys worth. The buffet changes from day to day, and certain days are excellent. Burgers are great. Fries are great. Hot dogs are normally good, but twice I've gone in and ordered a standard hot dog and it's been EXTREMELY well done and dry. When I've complained I have never gotten a new one or an offer of a new one. It's a HOT DOG, people! How do you mess up a hot dog! Given the restaurants in the area, if you're eating here, Korner Pocket's about your best choice. If you drive 10 minutes from here, there's a lot better selection, but not a lot better buffets on the good days. read more

Food here is excellent. The hamburger steak, fried chicken sandwich and fried bologna sandwich were all great and came with homemade French fries. We always stop here after finishing up at the soccer field. read more
