    AMI jukebox. Pretty good deal for music. 2 Credits per song.
    Mike S.

    I've been coming to Mackey's for about a year now. My mother-in-law lives in Wake Forest. I stopped in and enjoyed a burger and fries the first time. I came back for karaoke on Saturday nights, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very diverse and eclectic atmosphere. Mixed drinks are really good. Hard to find bartenders that came make an "Old Fashioned" properly. Not here. Stop in and at least give them a try. They are worth the stop. Try the burgers. You will not be disappointed! They have an "AMI" jukebox that can be controlled by downloading an app on your phone.

    Try the blackened fish sandwich. Yum!!! Kiddos had the giant pretzel and some loaded fries off the bar menu and loved it.

    My kitchen sink flatbread.

    Wife had the salmon and I had the "kitchen sink" which is a little of everything on a flatbread . Both were delicious, but I would probably get the salmon on our next visit. The kitchen sink was more food than I would normally eat. Pricing is reasonable, around $32 for both of us.

    Date night with my husband was going well until "Fred" showed up. Fred's brother "George" met an unceremonious end when another patron at the bar noticed him crawling on the bar and the bar tender quickly squished "George". We had already eaten our food so we promptly paid left. Reenactments of the Crying Game shower scene ensued when we made it home, thankfully clean pajamas and whiskey and saved the date night. We are not asking for anything other than this issue be addressed to prevent the community from getting sick and hopefully it has not spread to the restaurants on either side of Mackey's.

    Potato skins!

    Literally waited an hour and a half for a grilled cheese and 2 burgers. For drinks, I'm sure it's fine. Don't come for the food.

    I can't believe I've been in WF for almost 3 years and have never tried Mackey's but I will definitely be back.

    We live in North Raleigh but regularly do our shopping in Wake Forest because it's so convenient,…read moreand once we're there, everything is close by, including lunch. The two of us eat at Over the Falls regularly and always enjoy it. I'm honestly surprised I hadn't written a review before. Lunch for two came to $65.80 + tax and tip, and there was more than enough food. I ordered one of my two favorites: the Ahi Tuna Pita (the other favorite is the blue cheese burger). I paired it with a side salad and blue cheese dressing, plus an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. My wife ordered The Barrel, their Philly cheesesteak, with a side of sweet potato fries. We also shared an order of house-made potato skins. It was far too much food, in a good way, and we took plenty home. Service was outstanding and truly a team effort. One moment stood out: when my wife hesitated to ask for sour cream for the potato skins, our server immediately said, "It's just 15 steps, let me get it for you." That small gesture made a big difference. The rest of the team was equally warm, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance works perfectly for us, lively, busy, and welcoming without feeling chaotic. I would be confident ordering virtually anything from the menu. We'll keep coming back.

    Outstanding Wake Forest Eatery…read more Over the Falls features award-winning Specialty Salads, Sandwiches, Burgers, Pizza, Wings & Entrees; plus 12 Craft Draft Beers along with an Extensive Bourbon List, Handcrafted Cocktails & Mules. It's always crowded, does not accept reservations and does not have a bar or inside waiting area. You must register with the hostess, then wait outside (or in your car) until you receive a text that your table is ready. While this is inconvenient and unpleasant, the mouthwatering food is worth the trouble. One of our favorites is the Three Sisters Salad- which includes a generous scoop of either House-made Chicken Salad, Avocado Chicken Salad or Tuna Salad (we chose the Avocado), plus a large mound of Broccoli Salad, Fresh Fruit and a Flakey Honey-drizzled Croissant. Another winner was the Flash-fried Calamari & Banana Peppers. The substantial serving of Rhode Island Calamari was crispy, oh so tender and perfectly seasoned - with Thai Chili and Marinara dipping sauces. We also recommend the Cali Pastrami Sandwich and the Bacon & Cheddar Cheeseburger. Both come with a Pickle & either House-Made Potato Chips, Tortilla Chips, French Fries, Macaroni Salad or Cole Slaw. The NY Navel Pastrami was topped with Fried Onions, Habanero Jack Cheese, Chipotle Mayo and Avocado and piled high on a flaky, chewy golden brown Pretzel Roll. The big juicy Burger included Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion and several slices of crispy Bacon.
