Entrance

Went there on Thanksgiving eve with my family. Since it was a busy day, we had to wait for couple of minutes. Wait time wasn't that bad, as our name was called probably within 5-10 minutes. Only VIP alleys were available at that time, so that's where we played. We ordered food and drinks, and everything came up in a timely manner. Service was also top notch, with no significant delays. Loved the lights & overall ambience. Everyone in the staff was super friendly & accommodating. I'd definitely visit again. They also have a bar / restaurant. I'll probably try that next time (hope they serve some halal options ). Best part is that they're so close to our home & I feel it's a blessing that folks in Holly Springs & Fuquay Varina will no longer have to drive far anymore!

It's a 2.5, but not enough good to push it to a 3, sadly. The hubs and I were scouting this shiny new venue we'd watched being built and couldn't wait to try for a future team building option and great sports bar in the neighborhood. We left disappointed. When I first saw the low reviews for this brand-spanking-new entertainment-meets-sports-bar spot, I thought, "Tough crowd." After actually going? I totally get it. Is this it, or are they still working out the kinks? I'm not so sure. It's a sports bar, restaurant, bowling alley, and arcade all under one roof. While I didn't go for the gaming, the bar and food (which I did go for) left a lot to be desired. From the outside, it looks like the perfect spot to spend a fun afternoon. As the hubs and I cozied up to the bar, families and kids were tucked away in another section. Perfect setup. But if, like us, you're there to catch the games, grab some food, and settle in for good vibes, this isn't quite the place. And I hate that, because the location, design, and overall energy are on point. It's exactly the kind of spot I usually love for game-day hangs. Then came the constant loudspeaker interruptions announcing bowling lane reservations. Honestly, can the patrons just get a "your lane is ready" text or a buzzer to return? The vibe-kill is real, and it gives the whole place more of a kids' complex feel than an adult entertainment venue. And why can't we meet in the middle and have the best of both worlds? And then there was the food. The presentation was great, but the flavor was missing. The wings were fried to a crisp--dry and tough. We didn't finish them. The carne asada tacos came highly recommended but showed up with dry steak and a bland sauce. We ate all of our sweet potato fries that were great, but didn't have a decent honey mustard sauce to complement them. We left earlier than we planned (after I couldn't convince the hubs to try a dessert for fear of being further disappointed) thinking the food was an afterthought in this otherwise stunning new space, which is so unfortunate. All in all, other than Patrick being super attentive and kind while pouring drinks at the bar, I hate to report our first trip (and first experience with the McWally's brand) fell flat. I thought I was going to get the experience I've had at similar businesses in this lane, and I did not. Le sigh.

Family fun in one large venue. Bowling, arcade games, laser tag, virtual reality, and a restaurant. The options are available for your crowd to have a good time. The spaces are right next to each other, add all the screaming kids, names being called over the intercom, the place is loud! We paid $35 (+$1 card activation) to play about 8 games (ranging from 8-10 tokens each). Pretty expensive but the game options were good and the prize store is decent.

This town definitely needed a little bit more added fun to it besides just going to play golf. We visit every year for Thanksgiving and we always end up playing golf but this year was a complete disaster and luckily enough this opened up and made such a difference in our night. It was crazy busy so luckily enough we decided to just splurge and do the VIP room. There was a pretty good size group of us and we just had so much fun. It wasn't loud and it was just so enjoyable. We did play some arcade games in the meantime before our room was ready and even after we finished bowling. I would definitely recommend coming here with your family and friends and just having a blast.

First time and it was a fun experience. If we lived closer, we'd go often. I had a good time playing the games and next time I would really like to try I believe they had laser tag... The wait for a bowling alley took longer than I expected. The wait was about an hour. Idk if it was because we were there on a Saturday night but definitely thought they weren't going to calm us. During the wait, we didn't order food but my family did order drinks and those were fast. Overall good experience, will be back when we're around the area.

We went to McWally's on a Friday afternoon and had a fun time. I grabbed a beer from the bar then we purchased a card to play arcade games. We worked up an appetite so we went to the bar for dinner next. It was the club with fries for me and the roasted veggie flatbread for my husband. Both were tasty and the service was good. I will have to return to bowl and play laser tag soon. I recommend going at an off time if you want to avoid a crowd.

8countcountry at McWally's

We came to McWally's for an 8CountCountry event, and we were lucky enough to have Edin as our server. From the moment we sat down, she was on it--checking in just the right amount, making sure we had everything we needed, and doing it all with a great attitude and a smile. Edin never missed a beat. She was pleasant, attentive, and somehow always appeared right when we realized we needed something (honestly, impressive timing). Great service, great energy!

Great time so far! Shout out to Patrick running the bar and taking care of 1000 things at once, not missing a beat! Will be coming back for sure.

Atlas was very knowledgeable about the laser tag room, he gave us a tour and detail explanation on how the room works. We will be back

If you want to go play pool, obviously this is the place to go. It's a pretty clean location that…read moredoesn't smell like a dirty bathroom. You walk in and you have tables and look on your right and there's plenty of pool tables to pick from. There is a pretty large bar that during the time we were there had three bartenders. I used the restroom while my husband and his friend went up to the bar and apparently there was a bit of an issue with the snarky bartender. I'm not sure why there would be an issue with ordering the drinks. Two vodka lemonades is pretty basic. They both found those drinks disgusting. Ordering drinks the rest of the time we were there was like pulling teeth. if you can't pull one out you try to go to another one and then another one and yet you still can't get anywhere. That was our experience with these bartenders. I went up there and asked the female bartender for two Bacardi Cokes. She disappeared to the other side of the bar and started serving other people. She never made our drinks. Then the snarky bartender came up to me and I asked him for the same two drinks. He said OK give me a minute..... I'm standing up there for 10 minutes and he's literally just serving everybody else. He never served me the two drinks. The guys at the bar next to me, started making comments about how horrible the bartenders are, and they started to yell at the bartender to get their attention. Very nice gentleman. Another bartender took my exact same order and he made me two Bacardi Cokes served in beer glasses. One shot of Bacardi and way too much coke served in a beer glass. From a previous bartender this is extremely incorrect. The correct way to handle it is, asking if you wanted one shot or two shots And would you like it in a tall or short glass? If you don't ask automatically, you should have it in a short glass with one shot of Bacardi and a couple of shots of Coke from your spray gun. I'm also going to take a wild guess that they have not cleaned the spraygun in a very long time because the quality of sodas that were coming out of it were pretty bad. Clean your bar correctly. I'm guessing nobody really gives a shit. We came here to play pool, order quite a few drinks because these two men can handle a there liquor and just hang out on this Thanksgiving weekend. It wasn't even busy. The lack of quality gives you my three star review because of how horrible all three of your bartenders were. I should've minus a star per bartender. I have never seen multiple bartenders just completely spaced out and forget that you even placed an order with them... at the same bar. Whatever you're on dude you need to layoff on the stuff.

They have expanded over the years and always seem to have a place to sit. There is a bar which is always pretty full. Plenty of monitors around to catch your game, even in dining area. We had a group of 6 and was seated immediately and took care of by Sarrah. We ordered sodas and waters except me, PBR. Elected to start with Nachos as an app. It was ok but seem to be missing a little more cheese. The food order was Fish & Chips, Beef Sliders, Reuben Sandwich, Pimento Bacon Burger and basket of Sweet Potato Fries. Everything came out at once and was medium hot. Sarrah stayed ontop of drink refills and checked in regularly. I do say wish there was a little more pimento cheese on burger, hardly tasted it. Sorry for no pics, too much talking with family. Will be back in future.

We got 18 wings which you can choose 3 sauces for- we chose honey bbq, awesome sauce, and gold rush. We also got a plate of fried shrimp that came with two sides and we chose a side caesar and fries. For apps we got the shrimp and grits fritters. The total was around $55 for all of these items which was good. The shrimp and grits fritters were so good. This was a unique menu item that i've never had anywhere before and each bite was creamy and had a piece of shrimp in it. The fried shrimp was crispy and seasoned great. The side caesar doesn't look like much, but I tossed it in the dressing the next day and had it with some chicken and it was great. It was also a big portion for a side. The fries were perfect as well. The wings were cooked great. We loved the gold rush and honey bbq the most. The only thing I wish was that it was a bit more saucier. I would definitely come back again and it was a great late night find. We called the order in and it was ready within 15 minutes and perfectly warm.

Yikes, this was... Bad…read more I don't write reviews very often anymore unless it's for something really exceptional or something really bad, unfortunately this is for something really bad. I put in my order online and then went down, I had never been there before. When I walked in the place was kind of dark and dingy. That being said, they were very courteous and moved quickly. That's the only positive note I can give. Someone came out and told me that two of the items I had ordered, the barbecue bourbon beans and colored greens had not been on the menu for months. I asked why they are still on the website and I can still order them then and he replied "I guess they didn't update the website" I subbed for mac & cheese and tater tots. I also got the brisket and my fiancé got a salad and a Bavarian pretzel. The brisket was the most dry and underwhelming brisket I have ever had. I was so bummed out. Their sauces were pretty good, so I just soaked the brisket in the sauces and choked it down. The mac & cheese was Stone cold, the tater tots were soft and everything tasted as if it had been reheated in the microwave. My fiancé's salad was, no joke, about 40% lettuce and 60% cheese with a few cucumbers. Also very underwhelming. She said the pretzel was "meh". Didn't taste fresh and just wasn't good overall. I added a picture of the brisket so you can see how dry it was. I thought going to local barbecue in North Carolina was a sure bet because even the worst barbecue places are still pretty solid in NC, but this is not one of them. I didn't check yelp beforehand, my mistake. Stay away.

Not my personal favorite of the local Aviator brand, but not too bad either. It runs in the middle…read moreof the pack for me. The service is friendly, the sweet tea was mid, but the piggy Mac and cheese was good. I'll have to give it another whirl.
