I took my daughters here for lunch. The service was okay. It was pretty busy and there seemed to only be one waitress for the entire place so it took awhile for someone to come over and greet us and bring menus. We also had to wait and get someone's attention when we were ready to pay the bill so that we could leave. The food was decent. Very nice size portions. My daughters both has chicken tenders and fries tossed in different sauces. I had the southwestern salad. It was huge. read more

Andrew with Offline - Thoroughly enjoy this little tiny place off the main highway! Food was great, service was quick and Staff was friendly! We were able to get in and out pretty quickly cause we ended up being in a rush! We definitely come back to try something new! read more

Less than basic food. The broccoli was steamed to perfection but not a spec of seasoning. The Mac had ZERO seasoning. The meat is okay I guess. It was less than mid. read more

We have been here many times since my first review of the place, and not once have we been anything other than pleased with our visit. The food is always good. Service, even when they are busy, is also very good. Friendly. Really feel like they CARE here. Case in point...open on Christmas Day. Yep. That's care for the community. Same great menu with a nice variety. Great selection of brews on tap. The Brown Ale from Charlotte was one of the best we've ever had. Also tried their spinach dip for the first time and it was fantastic. The crispy bacon really made it special. Also finally tried their wings. Love that you can get them grilled. And let me tell you they are worth the 30 minute wait! They won't let you have two different sauces, but will let you mix a couple and I gotta say my creation of smoky bbq mixed with honey habanero is a real winner! Husband is a huge fan of their Chicago Beef Sandwich and onion rings. And the sides are always good. Loaded Baked Potato and Broccoli are two of my faves. Never have to worry about parking as it's in the Lowes Foods Shopping Center. Nice choice of seating...high top tables, lower ones plus bar seating. Plus a few games if you feel like playing. Delightful neighborhood bar/restaurant. read more

The Pickled Onion 3 - Excellent onion soup - Salad Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

We ventured out to a different Pickled Onion since we really enjoy the one off of Capital Blvd. The atmosphere was low key and more chill. Several people were dining alone and seemed to be regulars. We ordered Fish Tacos and onion rings. I prefer the fish tacos at the other location and the onion rings were all clumped together making it hard to share them since they were all stuck together. Also the seating is mostly high tops with only a couple tables offered low top option. Some patrons were playing on gambling machines too. Overall it was ok but I much prefer the upbeat vibe of the other as well as the booth option too. read more

I was looking forward to eating at your location at Lafayette Village. In times past, I enjoyed the wings. I was in the restaurant tonight for the same. Service staff was great, and then.... Ordered an appetizer that came with chips. A very small amount, maybe a handful, of chips that I thought wouldn't last through the completion of the dip. I asked for a few more. When the bill arrived, there was a charge for the extra chips. I was astonished. The few extra, maybe another small handful was an extra charge! There was no warning that extra chips would be a charge. Then the bill came. There was an extra charge for using a debit/credit card! There was no warning about that either. I attempted to voice my concern on these two issues with the waitstaff (someone who hadn't taken the order), he clearly didn't/couldn't do anything about it. I asked for the the manager. Chase showed up. The real problem began. I advised that being charged extra for a handful of chips, without notice of extra charges, and no notice of a fee for using a credit/debit card was not agreeable, he rolled his eyes, (yes he did) and said that they had to cover their charges/costs. I advised him to not roll his eyes at me and suggested that without notice, the extra fees were not agreeable. He had no resolution or even an apology or "sorry." He started to walk away and I called after him saying I had another question. I asked for the owners name and contact info. He said he didn't have to give that to me. Wow! Then he walked away. No apologies. Just attitude. Upon leaving, I stopped at the bar and asked for your name. She was accommodating. Then I had to call to find a way to reach you. Bottom line, Chase was very rude and clearly has no respect for proper customer service. I don't think my suggestion for alerting a customer of extra charges was unreasonable. While I may not be able to share this horrible experience with all your r current patrons, I do know about the power of social media. Wouldn't your rather me share a positive experience and encourage visits to Pickled Onion? I know a couple people who are very disappointed. Great menu but very poor staffing in Chase. read more

I ordered the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls. I know the difference between well-done and burnt. These were burnt and terrible. The only reason I did not return them is my job site was too far away very disappointed. I usually get much better food from the pickled onion. Everybody has a bad day but wow read more

Atmosphere: bar environment, clean, friendly Appetizer: Crack Fire Entrees: Philly Melt, Brisket Platter, Wings Service: attentive My husband came for lunch a few weeks ago and left his card here. They held on to it for a few days and to his surprise he didn't have any unapproved charges appear so he was able to keep the same card. Must be a few good people left in the world and they happened to work here. I hadn't been here before so we decided to pop in for a quick dinner. Overall, I'd recommend you give it a try as well if you like bar food and car atmospheres. Very good service and the food was flavorful. I ordered the brisket plate with the BBQ sauce on the side. The macaroni and cheese had good flavor but was a little dry for my preference, not bad though, I still ate more than half. Brocolli was cooked exactly how I like it with a nice crunch to it. My son had the wings and said they were very good. Waitress also mentioned that they won an award for their wings too. Husband had the Philly cheese steak and had no complaints. read more

The Pickled Onion 3 - Food/ beer - Salad Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Went here once. It was ok. I wasn't overly impressed by the food. It was average. I make really good burgers at home so burger places have to be exceptionally good to impress me. Not so here. Very much generic. Nothing stood out, no "wow, gotta come back". It was more of noisy sports bar atmosphere than we had expected. Not really that local pub feel. Anyway, service was ok - although we've had better. I can't drink much anymore due to certain meds, so I rarely order alcohol. This seems to be a negative for really good service at certain places. Obviously things like apps and drinks ramp up the tab so tips will be better. But then good attentive service will still get me to leave more than the basic. Anyway, it's ok, not our return soon list. read more

The pickled onion is a spacious restaurant with a bar and multiple TVs. There were multiple people dining at the restaurant during the week. I sat at the bar and ordered my food. The bartender was nice and became more talkative after I sat there for a while. I got an order of shrimp and fries. My food was brought to me quickly. The fries needed to be cooked longer and needed some salt. The shrimp was flavorful and tasted good. read more

A Tier. Exactly what a local bar should be. Wide selection, regulars, and great munchies As a repeated Pickled Onion customer, I never regret going. Slow or busy we get consistent quality with consistent service. They're opening up a backyard area soon that I will plan to return weekly to enjoy. They have a huge food selection and it's all stellar. Their wings are hearty with great taste. read more

The wait staff all work together to make certain you have great service. On top of that, they have one of the best burgers in Raleigh. Cooked exactly how we like it with just the right amount of char. Absolutely delicious! We will be back! read more

Buffalo Chicken Salad is the best! Wait Staff friendly and attentive! Also, a great place to catch a baseball, football, or basketball game!

My husband & I stopped to eat at the Pickled Onion on Hwy. 401/Louisburg Rd. as we've eaten several times at both of their other locations. Great food there so we expected the same here. Boy were we wrong! Waitress was "ok" though I question why she was comfortable bringing us onion rings that had been frozen, deep fried then cooked again. The burned side was turned done on the plate. Tasted one & it was awful. Why would she serve us this? I had a meatball sub, I couldn't identify the meat, so little flavor, it was covered with melted cheese to mask its appearance. I could only eat part. I suggest you stay away from this place. The food was inedible, I wish I had sent it back & refused to pay. I guess I didn't want to hurt their feelings, shame on me... read more

The newest Pickled Onion pub located at Forestville crossing shopping center. We were lucky to be invited to the soft opening and the place is shiny new and the servers were fantastic! They work as a team so we were well taken care of! Special shout out to Nicole who was awesome! I ordered a Ninja turtle cocktail, made with Malibu rum, pineapple and lime. Was so good! Started with the lobster queso dip which comes with fresh tortilla chips. We loved it. Next I had a Caesar salad, bud shrimp tacos. They were supposed to be spicy but I didn't notice much spice with cilantro lime slaw. They sure don't skimp on the shrimp! Hubby enjoyed his meatball parm and fried pickle chips. The pub has loads of TVs but thankfully there was music playing. We would definitely come back when in the area. read more

I am so pleased that this location finally opened! I went in knowing that it would take a while to be seated and eat so I don't feel like the service was slow. They're brand new and the place was slammed! The food was great - I can always count on the Pickled Onion to cook my burgers perfectly! I don't have burgers often but when I do, it's important to me to have them not be overcooked. Service was great! The servers there work as a team and it is a good system. All of the staff had a very friendly and positive attitude. We have been back 2 more times after this visit and it's been great every time! read more

We enjoyed our first visit here. We ordered the wings and jalapeño poppers, which were tasty. My only challenge was how loud it was in there. There are dozens of TVs and the set up is just one big room, so the sound echoes. read more

Food was great, and the service was excellent and very accommodating and helpful considering we had our 5 and 8 yr old grandsons with us. We weren't rushed. They even brought cups with lids and extra napkins for the boys. Highly recommend the Pickled Onion "3"! read more

Place has gone downhill since it opened. Light crowd for a Monday. Sat at the bar. Couple of drunk guys seated a few seats down. Both dropping f-bombs left and right, which usually isn't a big deal, except for the fact that their volume was rather loud, and there was a family with young kids within earshot. Bartender did say something to them, but it was short-lived. Need to be better. Will find another spot. read more

I never been to pickled onion so I had to try it. It the beginning its kind of confusing because it seems like its closed from the outside!. Once we were in I liked the place, it was clean, cool and had 2 bars and several tvs, BUT there were only 2 employees working the entire FOH so it seems like the bartender had some mind of attitude which I really don't blame her because its a lot of work for only the employees. The food was delicious a hangover burger and spicy Mac&cheese, 2 beers and a soda, 54$ kind of price but ok. This place have so much potencial but its sad that the owners don't put enough staff to run the place properly and thats the exact reason why The Ale House on glenwood av. Had to close down, it was a great location but they got greedy and started to short staff and give crappy service read more

The Pickled Onion 3 - Hangover Burger with chicken - Salad Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Great local bar.. the area is lacking restaurants and bar. We love all of the pickled onion food and service they take pride in services, teamwork seems to be big with these guys.. definitely will be back !! read more

First I want to commend the restaurant for laying a sheet of foil in the takeout box so that my food isn't burning into the styrofoam and me eating the poison. I ordered a Philly chicken and Philly steak. Both were nice portion sizes and delicious. It came with mushroom, onions, and peppers. I wasn't thrilled with the chipotle Mayo in the sandwiches. Next time I may just get it on the side and dip the fries. I didn't dine in so can't say much about anything else. More to come when we visit again. read more

Service is lacking, but they're new. Food is decent, seating minimal, and staff quality is rookie. read more

Has a wide variety of choices. I had a rare tuna platter. Wife had tuna tacos and French onion soup. Everything was excellent. We will definitely return. Total bill was $39.00 read more

Food is fine. I like the wings. I cannot justify spending $30 (incl. tip) on 1 beer and 10 wings. Also don't really think it should take 25 minutes to get one order of wings out. read more

Food is good but the options are limited and priced a little high. Service can be sporadic as you don't have an assigned server. Little loud for me but it is technically a quasi sports bar with all the TV's Small dining area usually a wait on the weekends. Over all I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 2 people and your definitely spending 40 / 50 dollars easy. read more

Kind servers. Food was sooo delicious definitely recommend the fried shrimp and onion rings

Service is great. Food was prepared very well, and the taste was spot on. Definitely will be back. read more

My fav place to go. I have never had a bad experience. The fish n chips are the best. The service is top notch.

We enjoyed a very full plate of delicious Thanksgiving lunch including: Turkey, Ham, Corn, Green Bean Casserole, Sweet Potato Casserole, and Mashed Potatoes. Our server and the staff were helpful and outgoing. My husband enjoyed a Maple Waffle Cider to drink, and we got pecan pie to take home. I highly recommend eating here any time you get the opportunity to do so, but especially on Thanksgiving. A great price for a great experience! read more

Was excited to see a Pickled Onion coming closer to home. Stopped in one night on my way home but was quickly let down. Was not a busy night. Since I was by myself, I sat at the bar which only had a handful of patrons. It took at least 5 minutes (maybe more) before 1 of the 2 bartenders acknowledged me. I ordered a wine while I tried to figure out what I wanted to order. I literally sat there another 10 min before anyone took my dinner order. I decided on the Philly with fries. The meat on the Philly Cheesesteak was minimal and I was lucky of I got about 12 fries. I had high expectations having been to 2 other locations in the area, unfortunately this one was a disappointment. read more

I was previously a huge supporter of this tiny new gem.... Unsure if they're under new management but we've had a few issues in the last couple of weeks. One instance our food runner, who we believe was the manager, delivered food to our table - short one dinner plate. We asked about the missing wings. No response... so we thought he'd either put the order in or make another run with it up to us. After we all finished eating, the order was put in. No apology no rush on the food- nothing. Then we went on Christmas night. There was a wait. No big deal, we waited. We were told 30 min then loads of people came in after us. Some 4 tops, some 8's, etc. after checking with hostess multiple times, we waited 45 min, everyone physically ahead of us were sat. Hostess said the manager over there (points to same person missing the food previously) told her to seat everyone ahead of us. I am giving two stars ONLY because the food is good and there are about 4 workers there we love. read more

Just stopped in for a drink. Was charged $9 for a gas if wine when the Menu said $6. Seems like a lot of locals get discounts while frequent visitors pay the price. We just paid and left, very discouraging that places are doing this, seems so wrong just so the bartenders can higher tips by charging. Others more. read more
