    Nice quiet tucked away brewery we visited on a Sunday afternoon. Weather was perfect and we ordered seltzer. I ordered the watermelon seltzer which was quite refreshing. They had a el toro alebrije taco truck that looked very good also. Definitely will come back to check it out further as they had a lot on tap.

    Great selection of beers! They serve a wide range of ABVs so there is literally a beer or seltzer for everyone. If you aren't into beer or seltzer ... they also serve wine and mixed drinks. My pick of the night from this brewery is the Pilsner. They have food trucks as well. We went on a Thursday and they play music bingo - quite fun. Only set back is the location, it is in the middle of nothing. This place has a good vibe and good beer. Go support this local brewery. And, the merch and logo are really cool.

    This is a great place to meet a group of friends, as its right off of Brier Creek, but it's not in the middle of the strip malls. Plus, they have their own beers, and even a few glasses of wine for the non-beer drinkers in the group. There is an inside area by the bar with a dozen or so tables, which is air conditioned for the hot summer days, but an outdoor area and patio for the nice days. Totally casual There is a Mexican food truck outside (and I don't know if its always there) but it was surprisingly good!

    This place did not disappoint. It was on the smaller scale of a brewery, but overall a nice little spot. I had the shotgun betty and it tasted great! Had a nice toasty flavor to it. They had a food truck out there which I love seeing breweries that do this. Also, they had porta potties you could use, which were cleaned and well sanitized. Not to mention beside the porta potties was a place you could wash your hand with actual soap and water, not just hand sanitizer. The weather was perfect as well!

    We were passing through Raleigh on a Friday afternoon and there was a major traffic back up... 45+ min per the map app and no way around it. So we pulled off and found the closest brewery which was Lone Rider LoneRider is pretty easy to find and right off a main road. They have some street parking and I think they have a lot across the street but I am not sure. If that is not their lot, parking on a busy day could be an issue. There was a food truck there when we stopped in and they had a tent set up outside with several tables under it. They also had some uncovered outside seating as well. The interior bar area is not large and there are just a few tables inside. There was a cornhole game going on and this place is dog friendly as there were dogs all over. They had a pretty large beer selection. Since we were just wasting some time, we got a flight with to try some options out. Out of all the beers we tried, I think we liked the Pilsner the best.I

    I'm really not used to how cheap beer is when you're outside of NYC. Definitely not complaining though. My boyfriend and I came in with his brother and his wife at around 2 on a Friday, which is when their tasting room opens. They have about 10 different beers on tap. We tried the Shotgun Betty Hefeweizen, the Deadeye Jack Stout, the porter, a raspberry noted one, and the Sweet Josie Brown Ale. I wasn't a fan of the first four. They each had a certain something that tasted off about it. However, i really enjoyed the Sweet Josie. They also have some pretty cool souvenir beer glasses that you can purchase. And at $3-$4, it doesn't break the bank. Unfortunately, since they only offer tours on Saturdays (2-5), we didn't get the chance to see where the magic happens.

I was really surprised that even at that hour the whole restaurant was busy. The interior was stunning!! I loved the lighting fixtures and drappy curtains. I would say that I didn't like that they dimmed the lights sooo low that I could barely see my food or my friend across the table. There's mood lighting and then there's "I can't see lighting" and it was definitely the latter, which I didn't care for. The food was absolutely amazing!!!! 10 out of 10, the staff was also incredible! Can't wait to come back for more! My favorite was the Pork & Chive Shumai (dumplings with caviar) it was my first time trying caviar and I loved it. I didn't like the seafood dumplings as much as I expected. They were really good. I just loved the pork ones more. The beef and crab rice was also EXCELLENT!!!! Well worth the price. Beautiful place.

The service is always fun and i enjoy the open atmosphere. This Belgian-inspired brasserie continues to be one of my go-to destinations for great food, craft beer, and one of the best Painkillers in town. My must-order dish is always the crispy beer-battered pollock paired with their perfectly seasoned truffle fries. The fish is light, flaky, and fried to golden perfection, but the real star might be their housemade tartar sauce--it's absolutely addictive. A few other standouts from our table included: Savory risotto topped with seared shrimp and blistered tomatoes The NRBC Juicy Burger loaded with onion straws and beer cheese Every dish was packed with flavor, and it's easy to see why this spot remains a local favorite. Whether you're stopping in for a craft beer, cocktails, or a hearty meal, this is a place that's always worth the visit.

    We wanted to try out a different spot than our usual go-to. We ended up at Neuse River Brewing…read more It's located an "industrial" looking area off of Whitaker Mill road in Raleigh. The first thing we noticed as walked in was how warm the place was. They have an open kitchen which is generating heat. They didn't seem to have central AC. They did have one wall mounted AC which was nowhere enough to cool down the place during peak summer days. We almost decided to leave and go elsewhere but we sat down. We got the following: Grilled Caesar salad was pretty decent for what it was. Duck Poutine was quite underwhelming. It was pretty cheese fries with duck on it. Not quite the typical poutine that also has gravy on it. Blood Orange Crème Brulee was my favorite item of the three we had. You could taste the blood orange in the crème brulee which was amazing. The portion could have been a big larger. I was expecting it to be in a small coffee cup. I could have had another one easily. All in over an average experience. Not sure if I will go back!

Anyway - Pizzas are consistently good, come out quick, and new pizza toppings/flavors pop up every once in a while. I especially love their Wednesday night dinner specials - sometimes I'm not as much in the mood for pizza but they do things like chicken parm and pasta just as good. Service is like a mix of waitstaff and self serve but whenever we interact with anyone working there they're always super friendly and helpful. Like I said, just love this spot! Parking at Raleigh Iron Works is never an issue - I just park in the back gravel lot

    We were at Raleigh Iron Works for the Oktoberfest Weiner Dog race. They had it set up real nice…read more It was a little crowded. There was a line at Ponysaurus for beer outside. They had a little tap on the patio. So we hopped in line. My friend went inside to see if we could get beer faster. You know divide and conquer. She won, however the line outside was still long so we stayed in line so we could get another. Sure enough by the time we reached the front of the line we were out. So we grabbed a couple more put them on the open tab from inside and walked around. We came back after walking around and decided after seeing everyone walking around with pizza boxes and Togo bags that we would eat here. We knew from being there earlier that they had outside first come seating seat yourself, but it was full so we went inside, turns out that is also first come first serve seat yourself. There was a table getting up as we walked in so we sat down and they were quick to come clean it. The waitress came and too our drink order and we saw her 1 more time after that. Even though they have a scan menu on the table for you to place your order I think they should still check on you. She came at the end to see if we needed her to close out our tab at the bar, we had already taken care of that. We could have used her during our meal. The wedge Cesar was ok, the lettuce was nice and crisp. The Cesar was good. I always get my dressing on the side sometimes when you get a salad it can be overdressed and I don't like that so I don't take chances. The Chicken schnitzel was ok not outstanding. It could use some seasoning. The salad "on top" of it was good. The dressing was really good. Now this roasted broccoli was the star of the table. It was so yumm. I only wish the dressing was on the side. It was so much of it in the top I had to rub some off. Otherwise it was so good. We would have ordered more but having to use the San to order and pay each time I didn't like that so we just ate that and moved on. Maybe we will try the pizza next time.
