Moonrunners was the best restaurant in Garner! I can't wait to try their 2 new locations at 40/42 in Garner and Dunn. In 9 years we have never had a bad experience here. read more

We happened to be in the area and as a fan of Bar Rescue I wanted to stop here. My husband indulged my love for reality TV and we stopped for a quick dinner with our 3 year old. The theming is evident throughout the restaurant and the menu. The inside felt comfortable and the restaurant was clean. The restroom have themed names like Bonnie and Clyde. My husband ordered the Baja Dog, I got the crispy chicken sandwich without bacon, and our kid ordered the grilled cheese. My husband proclaimed it the best hot dog that he's ever had. My sandwich was incredible! Both of us liked the sides--fries and chips too. Our kid seemed to be a big fan too--polished off the sandwich and most of the fries so that's a win for a 3 year old! I'm not a huge drinker but my husband encouraged me to try something since it was a Bar Rescue place. I asked our server what he suggested and he recommended one of their specialty drinks for March Madness. It was delicious and well balanced. Our server was super helpful, attentive, and kind. If we're ever in the Garner area again, we will definitely be back. read more

Walked in on Saturday night 6pm. Not very crowded, we were directed to seat ourselves and the young man Sid he would be right over. He did drop the off menus and we sat there for another 15 minutes waiting for someone to at least take our drink order. No show. So we left. . read more

Food was delicious. Came in at around 4 and it was slow. Our server was great but it did take forever for us to be greeted and checked upon. I think there was a big party. Food was delivered promptly! read more

Wow! Great designs by Blue Sky Services. This bar delivered on its prohibition vibe. We didn't try the food unfortunately.

I can't even lie I walked in and was a little uncomfortable at first. This was my first time coming here and there were a lot of bikers and I thought ohh noo I picked the wrong restaurant. AND then my waiter walked over and was the best waiter ever!!! I wish I had gotten his name. He helped me choose a great drink and the food was wonderful. I even ordered desert for me and my husband. Parking definitely not an issue and I learned a great lesson that day..never judge a book by its cover. I definitely am coming back and would strongly recommend you come to. Store nice and clean, plenty of parking and drinks severed out of mason jars. For some reason I feel like I am getting more ‍. Would have taken pictures of my great meal but my phone dies read more

I give the drinks a 4 compared to the Philly cheesesteak we had which was very mediocre: needless to say first time here and the moonshine is what attracted me to come here: we actually did the lemon drop martini to start then I tried the moonshine cocktail which I chose the blueberry flavor. I do want to come back and try the flight though and they have daily specials that are pretty good. read more

This was an interesting dining experience. After reading good reviews, we decided to try Moon Runners with some friends. It is definitely more of a bar vibe than a restaurant which wasn't really what we were looking for at that moment. When we got there they had just started a tv themed bingo night which seemed really fun but it was ridiculously loud. Following that they had an impromptu live band karaoke night which also was very very loud even when no one was singing. We could barely hear the person across from us. The staff was very nice but service was pretty slow. The food was okay, nothing outstanding but not bad. I tried the Southern Mac n cheese with bacon and my husband had one of the burgers. They had lots of items that sounded good on the menu but I'm not sure if we'll be back. read more

We only live about 6 minutes from Moon Runners but just haven't ever made it over to try it and we are so glad that we finally did tonight! The food was delicious, staff were friendly and service was excellent. We had the combination platter with chicken bites (spicy garlic Parmesan sauce) jalapeño poppers and potato skins and the Baja dog with fries. The fries were battered which was delicious. The prices were super reasonable and the portions were generous! Our only slight qualm was that the spicy garlic Parmesan wings tasted like jarred garlic but that is likely a personal issue and the chicken was still delicious and crispy. Everything else was an absolute 10. Overall it's a great local spot and we will definitely be back! Extra points for fun themed karaoke night and well priced daily specials. read more

Great saloon atmosphere with friendly staff. Food was a good step above bar food. I'd definitely order that steak sandwich again. And even though I don't like onions, the onion rings looked and smelled so good, even I was tempted! Plenty of parking and the place was clean. Nice bathrooms too. read more

We stopped here on the way home from CH and I found it on Yelp. It doesn't look like much, and is honestly pretty run down and there is an odor I can't describe any other way but just "old wood." But! I trusted my fellow Yelpers and ate here. While it's run down, it is clean. There was not a speck of food on the floor and the tables were clean. The service was phenomenal - there when we needed her but didn't bug us. She was also very genuine. The batter on the fired pickles was beautiful! Seriously. And, it was also delicious! A lot of pickles come in this app! The entrees were both good. The burger was over cooked as I ordered it medium and it was well done. Not a big deal. What we didn't know until we got in there and saw the plaque is that this place was on Bar Rescue with John Taffer. Hmm. read more

As a hockey dad, there is nothing quite like calling around for reservations for 25 and a last-minute notice. This place not only accommodated, but went well over the top, giving us a separate room for our party off the main dining room. Our waiter was fantastic and attentive, spent time with the kids, trying to get their meals written down, and was kind enough to bring theirs out as soon as it was done so that they could eat. Food was hot cooked very well. Drinks were fantastic. Couldn't ask for a better place for groups. The main dining room looked to be nice as well, especially with the party area being cordoned off and separated, so there was no noise transferred. read more

Went to South Garner today! Crappy service why it took 2 hours to get our food entirely makes NO sense since everyone around came in after us and go their food and left before we did. Server came and asked us again what we ordered said she wanted to make sure and check the kitchen my guess is someone either didn't place the order or forgot. Service rather sucked. read more

Food was pretty good. Brisket sandwich was good, my wife gave it 4, but the sauce was a little spicy for her. We are not spicy people though. My fried chicken sandwich was ok 3. The chicken was kind of dry, but all the cheese helped. We would go back, but we liked the one Hwy 42 in South Garner better. It has a nicer atmosphere and better service (at least when we went). read more

I would have loved to rate the food but after waiting for 1 hour with only drinks and no updates on my tables food order, we had to find a new place to eat. I would give this place 0 stars but yelp requires me to give it 1. read more

Stopped in for supper while waiting on our daughter flight to land. The food was delicious and a large portions. We had the boneless bites (sweet bbq & Garlic Parmesan) with onion rings and side salad as our sides. Chloe was our server and she was fantastic. Very casual place to grab some food and a drink. read more

Went on a Friday for karaoke and on Sat for Music Trivia. The food was great! And Friday karaoke with Harry is the best always! Also, Saturday Music Bingo with Kristy was really fun! I wish to mention servers Matt, Chris, Tiffany, Natalie, MacKenzie, and Kiran for their excellent service on these two nights. Matt, Natalie, Tiffany, and Chris have been there for a number of years. which to me, speaks well of the establishment. In addirion, these individuals have given me consistently excellent, and respectful service since I started going there about 5 years ago when I first moved to the area. It means a lot to a newcomer, especially a lady alone trying to connect and meet people. Family friendly as well! Stop in to Moonrunners! read more

I lucked out and arrived on Monday night when it was $6 burger night. A limited menu of their excellent burgers, and I chose the one topped with bacon and cheese and onion rings but LTO. With a side of cole slaw because I'm still enjoying my keto diet and losing weight. Service was excellent. The burger was top quality and size. For $6.50 with tax? A complete bargain. As my server didn't charge me for the soda (oops?), I gave him a $6.50 tip. Well worth it. Great burger, nice little saloon theme going here.

It's been awhile since I've been here, and as expected the service was excellent and my Ruben sandwich as good as New York style.. the collards are slap my mama delicious and for a foodie like me, they will stand up to any respectable Southerner and (Northerner).. and if your into great cocktails with a twist (Moonshine) this is the place, and there doing a great job building out their high end bourbon selections. Be sure to make this a stop, when traveling to Garner/Raleigh NC. read more

I'm from New England so I'll keep it short. The ribs were beyond amazing as was the sides coleslaw and, collared greens. IMO best place in the vicinity. The service was courteous everything was clean. Five stars!! read more

Tonight was our first time there and we were more than pleased. I could not remember my servers name but he was a young man that knew the menu well and gave us great recommendations. The mixed drinks were phenomenal, food was fresh and well seasoned and the customer service was great. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Beer, draft might i add, took 30 mins to hit the table. We were 1 of 4 tables with a thousand employees on the floor. So that didn't make sense. But whoever Chris is, short black gentlemen with glasses, joking and messing with the staff instead of taking care of the buisness and holding the service staff accountable seems to be doing a sarcastically great Job. The only good employee was fhe food runner who actually checked in on table multiple times and the server only once in the beginning and once in the end. read more

After hearing positive reviews, we decided to order take-out from Moonrunners Saloon. Online ordering was easy and our order was ready in about 20 minutes. I went inside about 15 minutes after placing the order. I was greeted quickly and informed that my order was nearly finished. While waiting, I read the news article posted at the entrance about Bar Rescue. It was interesting to read since I hadn't realized they were on the show. I have terribly luck with order accuracy, so when the order was ready I checked it at the counter. Everything was perfect and it looked so delicious. When we got home, I was excited to dig in. We ordered the bootleg burger, jumbo wings, and speakeasy shrimp and steak salad. We enjoyed all of the items ordered. The portions and prices were reasonable. The wings are grilled not fried. I prefer them grilled, but if you prefer them fried you might not like them as much. All of the items are flavored well. Overall we enjoyed our meal and recommend this restaurant to others! read more

Love this place! So happy I gave then a try, they are a staple now! Let's start with their appetizers. Love the loaded fries (sub fries for tater tots). Always perfectly cooked and loaded with cheese and bacon. The ranch? Heavenly. Then there is the shrimp and crab dip! Killer! Perfectly cheesy, the mini shrimp is a nice touch and the flavor is wonderful! You can get it served with chips, bread, or both. Then there is the bootleg burger. Perfectly cooked burger topped with melted cheese, crispy bacon, and delicious onion straws. I can't get enough of this burger. It is my go to every time I visit this restaurant. I will definitely continue visiting this place because the food is phenomenal! read more

This was my first time going to the Moon Runners Saloon, I'm originally from Ohio, this was the first meal I ate after our 9 hour drive so it could be a hunger bias, but the food was so delicious, the burger was cooked to perfection. The service was okay at best, our server was attentive at times but with how slow it was in the restaurant I felt like they weren't as attentive as they could've been, that could just be me being picky. The overall ambience of the restaurant was really nice and I loved the design of it. The food was so good, the design of the restaurant was really awesome, the service was decent, with all of these factors in mind I'd rate Moon Runners a 4/5 stars. I'd definitely go again! read more

The food wasn't great and the service was even worse! Our server only visited our table once and then disappeared, we never received our side orders with our meals but could never get someone to come over so we could let them know! Waited over 30 minutes just to get our check. Would not recommend unless they improve! read more

I really liked this place! The drinks I tried were amazing and the house moonshine is so good! I really enjoyed the pickle chips and the fried corn nuggets! The corn nuggets were listed as a side but are more of an appetizer and so good!!!! read more

Good price for huge burgers! You can't even get this amount of food at a fast food restaurant nowadays for this price. I got the Bootleg burger (1/2lb patty and bacon) and fries was like $13. We also got the Guy's dog, but it was a little much, being battered and fried, but the chili that came on it was good. read more

Decent food, cool drinks, a few patrons at the bar. Not sure how this would lace stays in business.

The best food ever. I've been craving the fettuccini with Alfredo pesto and chicken every day since we went. We will definitely be back!
