I had dinner on 30APR2026 with 7 other guys. I had the Southwest chicken salad and it was delicious! I don't recall our waitress' name, but she took good care of us. All the guys enjoyed their meals. read more

The burger / fries were great, as was the kitchen staff who served us, but the two young women that sat and waited on us were unfriendly. It felt like we were just tolerated as customers. read more

Manager was disrespectful and rude to us! Poor service from her. The only reason I left a tip was staff shouldn't have to pay for a bad manager read more

I've been a Pickled Onion fan for a long time. Five of us gals tried this new location (Lafayette Village where the Village Tavern used to be) earlier this month on a Tuesday night. We weren't sure what to do at first cause it said to seat ourselves but there appeared to be a Hostess. Turned out we were to pick a seat and she would follow with menus. We didn't see a spot for five of us in the main room, but there's a back room with larger party tables. This location has the same great menu as the others. I love that they all have grilled wings, and I let them know not to hold up everyone else's order cause the grilled ones take 30 minutes, but everything came out together later anyway. Food was good. I had one wing that was slightly under. But the rest were fine and I love that they will let you mix a couple sauces if you want. Service was a bit hit or miss but they were super crowded and had newly opened. We did have a fly that was driving us a bit crazy, but otherwise all good. This is a good addition to Lafayette Village. read more

Absolutely horrible wait staff. Not accommodating to families and very rude! Food wasn't worth the money spent. The manager is rude and discriminated against us as well as the two young hostesses who don't know how to provide good customer service, maybe they should consider different jobs. read more

This Pickled Onion location is open in the spot formerly occupied by The Village Tavern in Lafayette Village. My friend and I stopped in for drinks and appetizers and sat at the bar. We both ordered beers and split the philly cheesesteak eggrolls and ahi tuna. The food and beer selection were okay. My biggest complaint was the service, it started off good but slowly began to become non-existent. read more

I was a bit under whelmed by the portion size and taste of this Ropa Vieja bowl for $18.00. This is exactly how it came out before I took a bite. On a positive note, the booths are spacious and when I went it was seat yourself. read more

Super friendly and welcoming staff. Lots of tvs to watch any and all live sports. Menu is traditional bar food, but is extremely fresh and tasty! read more

I don't know if it's just this location or bad night or what cuz I've been to other of their locations and haven't had a bad experience. Service here wasn't great. I don't know if it's just cuz it was a busy time or what but the place looked a mess. Food was okay The wings were not dry but they weren't flavored as advertised. We got some loaded fries The fries needed to get cooked more however. I guess this location is great to sit and watch sports cuz Its got plenty of TVs and they're very well placed but it's hard to hear anything except the TVs. We didn't sit outside but there's a lot of outdoor seating that looked like was popular with families cuz they were all sorts of kids running around read more

Really enjoyable with a good sports atmosphere. The food is better than many other surrounding places. Service is attentive. Overall a very good experience. read more

Love The Pickled Onion...but not this one. Do yourself a favor and drive to the other locations! Food was cold, service was poor, and the bar area was dirty. We even overheard one of the bartenders asking patrons to leave because he didn't like them talking about "politics." Sorry, but that is unacceptable. Save your money and go to the other locations! read more

SUPER GLAD to have the Pickled Onion back in N Raleigh!! All that it was but improved! The menu is varied with a $10 cocktail list that includes a yummy margarita. Had the Chicago Beef that was very close to the real deal, very good. Friend had ahi tuna tacos - looked fantastic. Will be back again and again {{*.*}} read more

My favorite sports bar in North Raleigh by a mile. The servers take real good care of you, and the food always comes out quick. This place is super clean unlike the Hibernian across the street. Best place to go watch college football or multiple games. Super easy to watch 3-4 games all at once with the arrangement of all the big screens they got. Highly recommend the brisket platter or the philly cheesesteak. The Mac n cheese is outstanding, if you don't want a whole meal you can get just a side order for only $4. read more

We chose this place because there was a wait everywhere else. That should've clued me in, but we tried it anyway. The servers were nice and responsive, the ambiance is a sports bar feel - literally 100 screens in there. The food was ghastly. Microwaved meat, frozen food, poor quality produce and proteins. Sadly, we will not be returning. read more

09/20/2025 at 12:55pm! Today's hostesses was very rude before we even entered the establishment. I was with a party of three and attempting to dine however when trying to enter the door, the hostess stated to me that I was in the way, and yelled for me to get out the way while also being rude She yelled "If you would get out the way I can help you". She then proceeded to be sarcastic when we left due to the poor service by stating "ok whatever bye then". DO NOT DINE HERE! read more

This is a new location for a local chain with great pub food, friendly service, and boatloads of TV's for any game you care to see. It's becoming my go-to place when I want to keep an eye on a number of football games and take my time with good food. Try the "Crack Fire" jalapeños if you don't mind a little spice. Unique appetizer. It would get 5 stars from me but for two things. One, it's a Pepsi shop, and I'm a Coke guy. Two, they charge you 3% to use a credit card, which is among my least favorite current trends. read more

The food is just not good, the service is weird because the bartenders are also the servers. Not very efficient. It's cool that they have a ton of tvs though probably good for a drink and a game. read more

We have frequented a couple of the pickled onion locations, and the food has always been consistently good. Sadly, the one closest to us in Lafayette Village has been continuously disappointing. We decided to do carry out for the first time and in addition to our sandwiches, we ordered a slice of lemoncello cake which cost $8.00. Aside from the food being mediocre at best the piece of lemoncello cake was the smallest slice they could possibly give. We wish they would get themselves together at this location. Until then we will continue to drive to the other locations. read more

Chrissy was great and checked on us throughout our large party. CJ the support staff was helping as well. Great new addition to this area.

This is the third Pickled Onion that I have eaten at. It's located in Lafayette Village.It's very large and the food is very good. The only objection that I have is their back room. I was part of 30 people in that room and there's no insulation so the noise was terrible. It used to be The Village Grill and they had the same problem. read more

Second time at this location as of writing this and 2/2 times the service has been horrible. First experience was just typical slow service(table visits from wait staff were at very distant intervals). Ended up waiting a while for our food and our check as a result. Second time we were sat quickly on a relatively busy night, and then waited. Took us 10-15 minutes of having no one come up to us to even ask about drinks before we finally left. Service here is horrible, would recommend one of the other locations instead. read more

Love this place! The bartenders are amazing! The manager and all the staff always greet you and are attentive. Great viewing for sports with so many TV's. read more

Service was lacking. Food took forever to come out and when it did one of the meals was missing. Waited another 20 minutes for the last meal to come out. Food was just ok. Club sandwich had bacon bits instead of full bacon slices. read more
