    Fried flounder

    Service: great Ambience: standard diner Food: good brunch place It's a diner like I remember from childhood in rural South. I love it. I got the fish which was good but it was heavy on the batter. My friend got the breakfast and hers was really good. It was fast, friendly, and pretty good!

    It pains me to give out a one star review and I don't give these out lightly. The prices are fine, the food was fine, the servers were what you expect at a diner. Why the 1 star review? Well, when you have an open kitchen area and the cook isn't wearing gloves and handles the toast, the bacon and whatever else he was handling, I was grossed out. Yes, this can happen at the finest dining establishments but when you are so blatant about it just yuck! The bathrooms were on par with dirty dining and should've been the first red flag. Fool me once, not getting a second chance!

    Cheeseburger with French Fries

    Food is always great and cheap here. Cheeseburgers, French toast, and Steak & eggs are my favorite. The service and ambiance is pretty typical for a hole in the wall diner. If you like simple classic food this is a good place for you. If you're looking for something high end, this might not be your best option.

    Delicious!

    Service was pretty good and the food was just okay. There is no ambiance. We went after church service for a quick breakfast.

    This is a hidden gem for Durham! Although it's not a new brewery (the first one is in Raleigh),…read moreit's new to Durham. It is tucked away and behind a restaurant. They have a large beer and mixed drinks offering. The service is top notch. When I went there with a friend, I asked about sitting outside and the GM lit a fire for us. She was super welcoming and accommodating! Thanks for a great evening!

    It's been a while since I had Lonerider's beer and at one point it slipped my mind to write a…read morereview about it but then I realized there was still a review I haven't posted yet for the brewery and decided to rectify that oversight. We had three different beers from this brewery, one in which appears to be no longer in production. The discontinued one was a pale ale by the name of Peacemaker. It was refreshing and enjoyable to have. Flavor features with this beer are that typically seen with a pale ale which are hoppy, malty and sweet. The beer is very light bodied which is nice and very smooth. Unfortunate that it's out of production. The other two beers we had are still being made. One was Shotgun Betty which is a Hefeweizen. Not bad but sometimes I struggle with Hefes and the strong banana clove flavor which was the case here. It was good that it was light bodied like most Hefes are and smooth also. The final beer was the Sweet Josie Brown Ale which I think was my favorite. The sweet, malty and coffee flavors are very enjoyable and like the prior two beers a nice smooth body to this fine dark beer. I am glad I recalled this brewery experience as I felt it was important to post the beers we had and what we thought of them!

    First time in Raleigh, family friend took us here for dinner. Great choice highly recommend many…read moreselections to choose from he and my wife had the Chicken Piccata and they both enjoyed it immensely. Just the right amount of seasoning to make the meal enjoyable. I had the Spaghetti and Meat Balls and it was fantastic. The sauce was different not overloaded with tomatoes and the food was not swimming in the sauce as I have seen in other restaurants. Just a hint of sauce and plenty of meat in the sauce as you can see in the pictures. Three large size meatballs to go along with the dinner. Pinot Grigio was a good selection for my wife, my friend had the sierra Pale Ale, I had the Red Oak Amber which i loved. I enjoy a red ale or a dark amber with craft beers. Our waitress was spot on the whole evening sorry the name was not listed on the bill to mention her by name. The bar was full so it seems to be the place to be on a Friday evening to enjoy a brew with friends and associates. Compliments to the chef and the staff excellent job.

If you like a dirty martini, the Dirty Leesville is for you! We tried two appetizers and both were tasty. The fried pickles had the perfect pickle-to-breading ratio, and the potato skins were delicious with sour cream (loved the fresh green onion on these). My ribeye was flavorful and tender; even though I ordered it medium-rare and it came a touch past that, it was still delicious. If you're a local, this is a great spot for dinner and drinks. We got there at 5:30pm on a Friday and were seated immediately, but by 6pm there was a line out the door. Get there early!

    This place appears to be a local favorite and fills up quick with reservations on the weekend…read more Packing is in a lot throughout the shopping center. The staff who greeted us was extremely friendly and accommodating. We were sat with the stipulation that there was a reservation behind us in an hour and a half which was very doable for us. I do not partake in alcohol so I was appreciative of the zero proof menu options. I ordered the Jesse and it was sweet but sour, it balanced itself very well. My fiance loved his old fashioned with an orange and fig bourbon. Our waiter was direct and down to business, likely because they were busy, but a great waiter none the less. The food was excellent! Elevated American bar food that was cooked to perfection and had some nice fusion flavors: sesame tuna with edamame, goat cheese, walnuts and a special kind of beet that made my salad fresh and earthy. Truffle and onions with smashed burger dipped in bubbly cheese is a comfort food dream. Same with the Mac n cheese with bacon, really tickles the indulgence fancy! I do recommend this place, especially if you have friends who love bourbon or other kinds of whiskey!

It was very tart like cranberry and not very strong. I also ordered the grilled chicken sliders no mayo or tomato. It came with two. They were tasty. Slightly overcooked, but the cheese helped enough. I also had to order fries on the slide, which was slightly disappointing because the two sliders are already $15 and fries $8.50, even though I didn't order the side sauces that come with it. It felt $2 overpriced in both instances. I don't know if I'd get again, but the fries were seasoned well. My fiancé ordered the braised pork shoulder. The meat was tender and had a decent flavor. The mac and cheese was okay, nothing special. Overall, the dish was drowned in too much barbecue sauce to the point he felt he was eating more sauce than the entree. He subbed sprouts with fries, which were tasty. He wouldn't order again. It was a big portion though. Service was good. Music was okay, a bit random, but still fun.
