This cozy place was just around the corner from where we were staying. So we thought we would give it a try. The service was friendly and the food okay. A simple menu with pub/bar food. Sandwiches and such. We were greeted walking in and grabbed a table. A concise, simple menu. We ordered their Bavarian Pretzel along with a small order of the Bacon Cheese Tots, a Reuben and a Grilled Cheese sandwich. The tots were pretty good as was the pretzel. Same with the Rueben, a decent sando. The grilled cheese, not so much. 3 Stars - It served its purpose, better than some not as good as others. 01253

It feels like this location recently opened because there is a lack of organization; there is no…read more"counter", only a tall desk in the front where you place your order. The original counter is in the back and is covered up by pizza boxes and a large Italian ice cooler in front of it. The tables and chairs are not organized, and I feel like the "order desk" should be on the other side of the restaurant so the employees don't "cross over" the entire dining floor to get to the pizza ovens. One employee had on flip flops, I kind of feel like that violates some rules about going into the kitchen. Ordered two slices and a soda. They did not have fountain drinks, only "cans" of soda. The meatballs on one slice and the sausage on the other slice weren't undercooked, but they had no "char" on them like they were cooked. Pizza was good, probably the best pizza for Benson. I think they need to re-adjust the layout, get a fountain soda machine, and they might do okay.

I watched the Bar Rescue episode for Characters turned Moon Runners years ago and was really glad…read moreto see that it was still alive and had a location in Garner. I really was rooting for the owners, and I'm glad they've been able to last, unlike many of the other establishments on Bar Rescue. Moon Runners has its own private parking lot. It's not large and can be harder to find a park on a Saturday evening or higher-volume times. I've been a handful of times, and service has been great every time. I've sat at tables, but also at the bar, and all of the staff have been friendly and helpful. Some of the food I've had includes: - Apps: Corn Nuggets, Fried Brussels Sprouts, Southern Fried Pickle Chips - Entrees: Steak Salad, Chicken Caesar Wrap, Wilkes County Wrap I've enjoyed my food every time except the pickle chips. They were cooked well, but had way too much batter for my liking. I ended up removing most of the batter because it was so much. Most of the cocktails are centered around moonshine, and there are a ton of options. Additionally, they also have a full bar, so if moonshine isn't your thing, you still have plenty of options.

The booths are quite large - perhaps 4 people on each side on some of the big ones. Round tables in the center for families or large groups. There is one wait-staff that stands out to me. Her name is Cheyen, and we are happy while in her section. She is full time, and she knows everything. She accommodates us with extra sauces (in take-home), and even had a BLT rolled in a wrap. That was special. She'll provide drink refills, and even asks us if we want them "to go." Extra napkins, no problem. There is a bar section with pool tables. Looks like fun.

If coffee isn't your thing via No Filter next door, take a few steps down and have a seat. Server Brandy was a delight. It was midday and I was in the mood for chicken fingers and pie. The fingers were okay but the standout was their house sauces. I had sweet potato crinkle fries. They were fantastic - especially with those sauces. The Key Lime Pie was soft, had bite, and a firm crust. It was delicious. The experience as a whole was okay - probably a winner in its "genre," but I'm not one for the bar scene. You might like it.

It's dated and feels 2000's cozy. Service was great both times I came. Nothing to worry about there. They take really good care of you. They have a lot of specials and the menu is quite extensive. It's a bit off the beaten path hidden a few blocks away from 42 where it's not easily seen. It was decently busy so people know it's there, but if it was on 42 like where Cleveland Draft House is, this place would be packed out all the time. Both times I came here I got the wings because I heard the wings are good. They are a solid 8/10. The one and only thing that would push them over the top--smoked wings. Everything else was perfect. They were quite meaty, sauces are delicious, crispy skin...just need a bit of smoke that's all. Good thing they aren't because I'd be in here weekly if they ever did start smoking them. Buddy got the chicken fried steak and thought it was great. I posted some updated menu photos since there were none. I'll be back!
