    Small pizza
    Darren N.

    Overall the food was really good. Everything seemed really fresh and everyone enjoyed their food. It was also priced really well And I think you get good value for the money. It is really hot though. I really wanted to try the wings but I know I would have been sweating up a storm if I did. The Soda also doesn't taste like either coke or Pepsi products. Overall we would go back but with NC right now being in a heatwave, it's kinda hard to make it a top choice.

    Cali Pastrami

    Outstanding Wake Forest Eatery 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.

    We went to Over The Falls for my birthday dinner on a Tuesday evening. It was a very good experience. Great atmosphere. Our server and other restaurant staff made sure the experience was a great one. Food was delicious. We most definitely will go back and try something different from their menu.

    The food was amazing. Best crab dip I've had in years. Service was excellent. The ambiance was perfect. I highly recommend this place for a couple date or a group night out.

    Really enjoyed the food and service. The staff was friendly and the crab and shrimp pasta we had was delicious. I ordered the banana foster pound cake to go and that was good as well, but not as moist or soft like I prefer. I had the berry basic as a mocktail but there was too much carbonation so I couldn't taste any of the flavors. I did not like having to wait outside or for my friend to arrive before being able to be seated, but I guess that's their policy. There's plenty of parking lot parking available as well. I would return to try more food because they have an extensive menu and daily specials.

    Nice and chill place to have a good meal. I had wings. The wings were good but the garlic parm wings sauce left a bit to be desired

    The mushroom burger here is excellent! Pickup service was easy and fast too, even though it was pouring rain out

    Food is very hit or miss. Quality has gone down, really not worth the price now. Hostess and servers are okay, not great.

    Amazing food and one the only places that make a great Cosmo with Grand Marnier. My only gripe is not being able to make reservations.

This no-frills bar is perfect for those that just want to hang out and eat good food. I haven't been to a low-key bar like this before and I loved it. Everyone knows each other and they're all just out for a nice time out. It is an older group, definitely a local's place. There's one pool table that's coin operated if you want to play a round. They also offer karaoke if you're brave enough. Our waiter was awesome, super easy going and nice. Not to mention, he brought me a second tea before I was halfway done with my other one! That right there is an immediate extra star on my review. We all ordered hamburgers. I had the candied bacon and jalapeño cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. It was delicious! 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. If you want a good dinner with a relaxed atmosphere, Mackey's is a great choice. Support local!
