The best dominican food in Raleigh. I will say that for sure! The people were really nice as well. Im from NYC where Dominican restaurants are very common and this made me feel like I was back home.

The food is good and consistent. I can see they're making progress and changes to the restaurant. I just think they're overpriced.

The food is good at times but they over charge and make up prices. Overall it's a good place to get home cooked food Dominican style.

Stopped by Oak City Brewing Company on a recent trip to Knightdale. When you arrive there is plenty…read moreof parking available on the street. When you walk up you'll be greeted by an old house now turned brewery. The brewery itself has a fun vibe inside the house and the beer is excellent. There is also plenty of seating outside of the brewery. I ordered the hazier than a Georgia pine (New England ipa) which was perfectly balanced and smooth. My partner ordered the weathervane wheat blueberry which was fantastic and had a good balanced fruit flavor. Overall this brewery has great beer and chill vibes. Definitely check it out if you are in the Knightdale area.

This adorbs little spot is in a renovated old house right on the main street of charming Knightdale. I was there on a quiet weekday afternoon, and enjoyed a glass of tasty seltzer while my friend tried one of their IPAs. They have both their own brews as well as several guest taps. The place is clean and bright, and they have a nice-sized beer garden out back as well. What really set them apart was the service, though. From the beertender to the friendy folks at the bar, I left feeling like I'd made a few new friends in North Carolina!

I reserved a table at the Crunkleton after seeing that it was featured in a list of best new…read morerestaurants because I wanted to treat my wife to a surprise night out. I wanted it to feel casual, but also very nice and elegant. The Crunkleton was exactly what I wanted. The interior has a nice date night feeling with an impressive bar and elegant furniture. But it's also small enough to give it a casual and welcoming feeling. On to the important part though, the food! It was SO delicious. Sorry Italian restaurants of Raleigh, but the seafood pasta here might be my favorite pasta dish in all of Raleigh. It was so deliciously creamy and I love the spices that gave it an additional zesty, herbaceous flavor. The shrimp in the pasta was also perfectly cooked, not at all tough. Our crab cakes appetizer was also a great, easy-to-share start to the night, and I really liked the Mojito-inspired gin-based Mule cocktail that I ordered. My wife had Steak Frites and she also loved her food. All of the food and drinks that we had was of a "best in the city" caliber, and I'd be thrilled to have a reason to back. The service we had was nothing exemplary, but it didn't get in the way of us enjoying our time here either. If you are looking for a place to have a date night that feels special, but also relaxed and comfortable, look no further. Book here!

My brother and I visited The Crunkleton on Tuesday, October 20th, and overall, we had a really…read moreenjoyable experience! First, the restaurant itself is beautiful! From the moment you walk in, you get this sophisticated, upscale atmosphere with warm, dim lighting that creates an intimate dining experience without feeling too dark. They also have a lovely outdoor seating area, although no one was sitting outside during our visit. The bar is absolutely gorgeous and has an impressive selection of wines and spirits. We originally planned to sit at a table but decided to move to the bar instead, which is how I was able to admire the beautiful bar. The staff was wonderful! From the hostess to our server, everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. My brother and I shared the Tomahawk Steak, which came with fries, and charred bread. The portion was definitely generous enough for two people, possibly three, depending on your appetite. We actually had a little left over! We ordered our ribeye medium, but some portions were noticeably less cooked than we expected, closer to medium-rare. Personally, I would probably order medium-well next time to get a result closer to my preference. As far as flavor, the steak was alright. I felt the actual meat could have used more seasoning, particularly salt. Interestingly, the fat on the ribeye was absolutely delicious! It had so much flavor, and I found that pairing a small piece of the flavorful fat with a bite of the leaner meat made the steak much more enjoyable. That combination really brought out the flavor! I just wish more of that delicious seasoning had carried through to the meat itself. The sides, however, were really good! The vegetables were enjoyable, and even the simple charred bread was delicious. Sometimes the simplest things are done exceptionally well! Another bonus was that we visited on a Tuesday, when the ribeye was half off! That definitely made the meal feel like a great value, especially considering the generous portion size. Now, here's where things got interesting: THE BURGER! The person sitting next to us ordered a burger, and it looked absolutely amazing. We ended up ordering a regular cheeseburger to go for one of my kids, and let me tell you, that burger was delicious! I managed to sneak a small bite before it disappeared, and it was juicy, flavorful, and honestly more enjoyable than the ribeye. Would I return? Absolutely! Although the ribeye wasn't my favorite steak, it certainly wasn't bad. Everyone has different preferences when it comes to steak, and someone else may absolutely love it. For me, I would have preferred a little more seasoning throughout the meat and a slightly higher cooking temperature. Between the beautiful atmosphere, welcoming staff, generous portions, and that delicious cheeseburger, this place is definitely worth visiting. Next time, I'm ordering the burger!
