    Chicken nachos.
    Chris K.

    I received a birthday coupon for a free appetizer and since I'd never eaten here before I thought I'd give it a try. Nachos are a favorite that I can make a meal out of so thought that would be the perfect thing for me, and it was! The waitress was great and the owner's wife was super welcoming. There's 14 tv's if you're there to watch sports you're sure to find your game. Plus the black ceiling has tiny lights in it that look like stars. The waitress said during football season they can change colors to match a team's colors. Cute! Back to the nachos. I don't know how they chopped the tomatoes so tiny for the pico, but they did to a point that they're cute! Rather than melting shredded cheese on the nachos they use a white sauce, which is different. The pickled jalapeños were delicious. You have your choice of either chipotle chicken (also chopped very tiny) or beans. I got the chicken, which was just ok. I'd try the beans next time. It also comes with a cup of sour cream. They have two sizes of nachos and of course I got the bigger one. I ate a lot of it, but couldn't finish it all. It hit the spot!

    Why have we not been here before !!! This is a great little tavern located in the Lowe's plaza at High House and Cary Pkwy. We had some delicious burgers, hand cut fries and cold beer. They have a great lunch special that we will try soon. Every day drink specials. Check the chalk board. Staff was friendly and helpful. Give them a try. You will be glad you did !!!

    I've been to Parkway a couple times, I've never really been all that impressed despite other people telling me how good their food is. Maybe I'm ordering the wrong menu items but both times I got the burger. There's just something about the burger that I don't like. It's juicy and cooked properly, but it just has a very odd flavor to it with an off-putting aftertaste, I don't know if they put fish sauce in the meat or what, but I won't order a burger there again. This last time I ordered the fried potato salad as a side and went whole hog and ordered the mac and cheese appetizer. The mac and cheese was amazing but when it came out I assumed that they had just given me a side dish portion because it certainly did not appear to be worth anywhere near the $9 that they're asking for it, but indeed that's what it was! The so-called fried potato salad is odd, it's like fried breakfast potatoes with some kind of pimento cheese topping on it. It's not terrible, but I certainly wouldn't want to eat it again. Luckily their menu is fairly extensive so I'm sure one day I'll figure out something I like here

    I would say 5 stars, but it's a new business, and still finding its sea legs. That being said, I haven't been to a new business in recent times that I didn't regret. I have to admit that I generally don't even review new businesses, because it is generally not fair, as it takes time to get into their funky flow. This place was different, however, although new, they truly cared about the place. The owner, Brian, was so excited and eager to please everyone, it was infectious! We only tried a few items, and had a couple drinks,, but the menu was designed by a veteran chef, Bruce, and has pretty much all you need for a new restaurant. We had the frickles (hot and delicious, but I prefer horseradish sauce), pint of honey siracha bacon, omg, and a French dip. Although the meat on the French dip was more well done than I prefer, you wouldn't notice. Honestly the best French dip that I have had in recent memory. The bread was soft and delicious, and the horse radish sauce on it with the au jus was perfect. Fries were great too! Couldn't stop eating then, darn it. Good job, and nice change to see a 2pm-2am spot to hang. Uber is going to get more business!

    We came here on a weekday for lunch and we're greeted by friendly staff. Restaurant was clean. Server was friendly and helpful. The Santa Fe wrap came out hot. I loved that the wrap was thin and crispy. It was loaded with chicken, cheese, beans and corn. The chili line vinaigrette gave it a lot of flavor. Portions were good and prices were reasonable. Bar area was roomy.

    Pharmacy Bottle + Beverage nails the balance between neighborhood hangout and serious beer…read moredestination without ever feeling pretentious. The tap selection is honestly impressive -- taps galore with an ever-changing lineup that makes every visit feel a little different. I also love that you can enjoy a pint onsite and then wander over to the bottle shop side to grab some gems to take home. Dangerous for my wallet, fantastic for my fridge. The outdoor patio is spacious, relaxed, and full of happy people and happy dogs. Cary can always use more genuinely dog-friendly spots, and this place embraces it completely. Pups lounging under tables while their humans work through flights? Come for one beer, leave with a mixed 6-pack and at least three new dog friends.

    We stopped by Pharmacy Bottle recently on a night out and enjoyed our experience there…read more First, parking was a little tricky since it was the weekend and the street spots in Downtown Cary were mostly occupied, but we managed to find a paid parking spot nearby :) Not ideal, but oh well! Inside, it was pretty spacious, with a couple of couches, a few tables, and of course the bar seating. I saw multiple customers walking around with their dogs, so I'd say Pharmacy is dog-friendly. The bartender was attentive throughout, and I thought the draft beers were very reasonably priced. The selection on draft was only OK, but that's more based on personal preference, I guess :) Pharmacy also had a bunch of cans available for sale, some refrigerated and some not (presumably based on the type of beer). There was an additional fee if you chose to buy a can and drink it in the bar. Maybe this is normal, but it struck me as a little strange. They also had some food items available but I skipped those this time. Overall, I had a pretty good time. I'd definitely consider stopping by again but I'm not sure it'll be a consistent hang-out.

    Fortnight Brewing is exactly the kind of brewery that turns a random Monday into the highlight of…read moreyour week. Came for trivia night (7-9pm on Mondays) and ended up staying way longer than planned because the vibe was just that good. As a dog-friendly brewery, there were plenty of furry distractions, but Stella absolutely stole the show. I don't think I made eye contact with half my team because I was too busy petting her between trivia rounds. The beer flight was solid across the board. Dream Patch was bright and easy-drinking, S-Wheat Caroline stayed crisp and refreshing, Hopstacle Course delivered the hop-forward punch I wanted, and the Carolina Amber on cask was smooth, rich, and dangerously crushable. But the real MVP of the night? The Summer Breeze THC Slushie. Somehow refreshing, nostalgic, and wildly fun all at once. Fortnight nails the formula: great beer, welcoming crowd, dogs, trivia chaos, and creative drinks that keep things interesting. Cary is lucky to have this spot.

    Stopped by here recently and had an OK time…read more First, for parking, there was a primary lot as well as overflow parking. I went right after it opened so it was pretty empty during my visit, but there's a ton of seating (both indoor and outdoor!) and I can imagine it gets pretty busy at peak hours. I grabbed a 10 oz pour of the flagship IPA and hung out for a few minutes. Honestly, the beer was not my favorite (and didn't taste much like an IPA to me at least...) but I guess that's personal opinion :) The bartender was nice and the vibes were solid inside. Overall, there are a bunch of breweries in the Triangle, so I'm not sure I'd come back to this one as my first choice, but if a friend wanted to meet me here I wouldn't complain :)
