Super friendly staff, great drinks, and simple but tasty food. It does get pretty crowded and loud, but that just adds to the fun atmosphere. Definitely a great spot for a good time. read more

Abbey was super sweet and attentive! I got the Trail House Pasta and it's the best thing on the menu. The Cajun sauce isn't too spicy and if you get it with veggies replacing the chicken they put a ton of veggies in there. SO GOOD. You get like 3 servings??? Went on a Tuesday night. Thanks guys! read more

Years later I am still unimpressed with this bar/restaurant. It has good days and bad days, never consistent. I brought the star rating up solely based on their specials. During football games they have a decent game day menu where you can get steak bites or wings, etc among several other things. I have had them and they've been great, today however the steak pieces were tiny and full of stringy fat. The wings overcooked and dry. Pitchers and buckets of beer for $15 and drinks for $6 help ease the pain of the food. Service by our waiter was great but food and bar were slooowwwww. Clearly kitchen issues didn't help the food situation. Its a vibrant spot with lots of TVs for the games. If you're going for drinks and sports, perfect. Food, you're at a 50/50 chance of decent bar food. read more

I love food, I love live music and I enjoy alcohol. I know, this is an odd combination, but hey I live on the WILD side. So when I found out that The Train House which is right around the corner from me and participates in all three, I was immediately interested. I will state this up front, while this is a family friendly restaurant later at night caters to the adult crowd specifically thirty something on up. As for the adult beverages they have something for everyone. Interesting cocktails to appease the pinky up bougie woman (almost an oxymoron in Indian Trail) to the simple down to earth individual who "likes what they like." The wine list isn't anything special, in fact very limited but will have enough options to get a person through the night. Craft beers rotate in and have a nice little selection. As for the food, it's VERY good. I've been several times so I'll try and state what I've enjoyed. The steak eggrolls shocked me as I was anticipating ground beef, but it ended up being steak. The seasoning was a bit low and it could have used a bit more cheese but good overall. The Caesar salad was very nice with crisp lettuce and a tasty dressing, a bit tame but perfectly balanced for the masses. The wings were plump, not those little tiny wings and well-seasoned. All of the sandwiches I've tried were on the money while the pastas are filling, but not waistline friendly! In other words, there's a lot of hits on the menus with few misses. As for the bands, they always seem to get entertaining artists. I've been four times and every one I found my spirits being picked up and really enjoying the energy of the bar and band. Good thing I live close by as the uber trip is cheap! Trail House is just about the only late night option for many adults but it also focuses on the other must haves like drinks and food. I've never had a bad experience and I think anyone that comes by will say the same. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did. read more

The food and service was great, but even though it's called a "family" restaurant, don't bring your kids on Tuesday evening. My husband & I usually have a kids free night on Tuesday's. We were sitting at the bar a couple weeks ago and they were playing some type of game up on the stage. They were playing short portions of songs and some of them contained some pretty explicit lyrics. Songs with the "N" word, some song that said, "I fu**ed a girl and one that said Fu** the police. My husband said, "well, it is a bar." But it was about 8:30 and when I went to use the restroom, there were still kids that looked to be 10 - 12 years old eating with their parents. I told my husband that we would NOT be bringing ours kids here! read more

We met friends for dinner on a Saturday night. They place was not to busy when we arrived but quickly filled in. Our server was nice, and maybe she was new, but she was unable to answer our questions about drinks or what was on tap. They have a drink specials list, and it seems that if you aren't ordering one of those, then they are unable to make the drink. For example, they have a Carmel apple mule but were unable to make a standard Moscow mule. I ordered the espresso old fashioned ( two of my favorite things!), but it was not good. The espresso overwhelmed the drink. They had a decent beer list, so we stuck with that after striking out with the cocktails. We ordered the Dip trio, and that was good, and the shrimp tacos were also very good. The bar area is definitely darker, but the dining side is a little better. It does get loud when the band starts, making it very difficult to chat. Overall, the food is good, the beer is decent but avoid the cocktails and bar area. read more

Very convenient. Often go there after a movie. Great for lunch or dinner. Excellent salads, tacos, sliders and sandwiches.

Easily the worst meal I've had in Indian Trail. There isn't much worse than biting into a wing and discovering you're eating fried raw chicken. The sides were also terrible. Managers treated the situation poorly until they finally gave me a $25 gift card but I would never go back. Doesn't meet my standards but first person to read this and have slow standards, here's a gift card code on me: 8627 7514 0824 0681 read more

The Trail House seems to serve as a hub of excitement in the small but rapidly growing suburb of Indian Trail, NC. If you want to catch a game they have TVs galore along with inexpensive beer and cocktails and some solid food options. They also host trivia nights, music bingo, open mics, and have a nice stage for live bands to perform. Really there is something for everyone here. My first trip occurred on a Sunday where I found myself in need of some hair of the dog and something hearty and a bit greasy to help me fight off a hangover. Their menu consists of some classic pub favorites from barbecue nachos, to flatbreads, to burger sliders. Basically exactly what I was looking for. I decided on the Buffalo grilled cheese which I devoured in minutes. Really loved the vibe here and if I lived in the area I would certainly be a regular. read more

Came for lunch for the Labor Day Holiday. Located in the shopping center behind their Starbucks. Was not busy at all, and they had plenty of parking located in their lot. We were seated right away upon arrival. Our waiter was super efficient and friendly (failed to get his name) very attentive and gave great recommendations. I ordered their regular carolina burger with French fries. My sister ordered their French onion soup, pimento but sandwich, and house salad. Their fries were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I'm a French fry person, and these were the best. They were crispy just how I like them and not super hot to where you need to wait till their cold to eat. Burger was delicious as well. The meat felt a bit dry, though, but it didn't bother me too much. Still delicious! Definetly will come back if I'm ever in the area. read more

This is a great spot for a casual dinner. We stopped by on Sunday night to watch football and grab a bite to eat. It was not very busy that night so we were able to be seated without a wait for a table. Our server was super helpful and made sure we were taken care of immediately after being seated. She took our drink orders and food orders quickly too which was nice. The food came out pretty quickly and was great! Never tried the Korean wing flavor at the restaurant before but it did not disappoint! The lemon pepper wings are always great! We will definitely stop by again soon! read more

Trail House is THE spot to go to in Indian Trail. Whether it's music trivia, music bingo , live bands or Cornhole's tournaments, there is always something to do here. Troy and his kitchen staff do a phenomenal job serving quality food and keeps the menu updated with new and exciting dishes. The bar and wait staff are super attentive and always make sure you and your party are taken care of. Since the new owners took over 7-8 years ago, it really shows they care about their customers, employees and making sure that this is always a place to be! read more

I didn't try the food although by the pictures and other reviews I certainly will. It's definable a place you have have a late night grub. It's also a great place w live music wonderful soft rock and punk rock it was really good entertaining and people dancing in front of the stage. People of all ages around and the service was friendly although a bit slow to get to you maybe because they are very busy and might need additional staff. I had one drink which was the mango margarita recommendation of a friend of mine, it had high praises and it certainly did not disappoint. I absolutely loved it. De-li-Sioux. If you are a margarita lover, you have to try this, If you aren't a margarita lover - you have to try this immediately. If you are looking for a bit of relaxed casual fun with music and drinks this is your spot. read more

IF I COULD LEAVE LOWER THAN A 1 STAR I WOULD. This is a restaurant my company frequents often for lunch. Usually everything is fine but we decided to do a large takeout order. which we waited over an hour for and still wasn't ready for pick up on arrival. When we received the food it was cold and missing ONE meal. when i called to request it be made and i will come back to retrieve it I WAS MET WITH THE RUDEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED FROM A RESTAURANT!! I spoke with a manager with the WORST attitude and argued me down over 1 meal..out of a $200 dollar order and 15% tip added. WHY would someone lie about a $12 meal after spending so much money ?? i asked if it would me remade so i could get it and SHE TOLD ME PLAIN AND SIMPLE.. NO....after we just spent $271 the manager REFUSED to fix the issue..IM APPLAUD AND DISGUSTED.. we will NEVER give this ESTABLISHMENT OUR MONEY AGAIN. THIS WAS SO UNPROFESSIONAL OF HER AND SHE SHOULD NOT BE IN MANAGEMENT. I have worked in food service before and i KNOW this is not how this should have been solved. ESPECIALLY when so much money was spent. a refusal to fix the issue is NOT how you do business. and make matter worst the food was subpar (says 6/12 individuals that actually got there food) read more

Came here for an event. We were in their private room. 1 server for a party of 16. It worked because our server had help bringing out food. There were some errors but I didn't experience any. I ordered the eggroll appetizer and the passionfruit spritzer. Both were ok. Nothing bad, nothing special. If I'm in the area, I may return to try the calamari. It looked very tasty! read more

I came here with my family after realizing sun valley cafe was too busy. The service was absolutely terrible. After we had gotten our drinks our waitress whose name was Reagan waited almost thirty minutes to take our food order, even walked past us several times. After we had gotten our food my little brother who ordered off of the kids meal had to wait almost an hour after the rest of us gotten ours. When his arrived it looked like it could've just been microwaved and brought out. The place wasn't even that busy, I don't think me or any of my family will ever eat here again. read more

Trail house, Sun Valley in indian trail Table Service was amazing. I was still disappointed that you cannot request a booth. The way they have the servers structured - hasn't changed. That's a drawback in my opinion and quite honestly if I hadn't been so hungry looking for a quick meal? We probably would've left. Again. I had made the suggestion in the last review and got a response from the manager. Nothing changed. I counted and there are 10 tables and 10 booths. I don't see why it would be a problem to alternate servers but because my family is in the business? I found that some managers like to be more organized. So they are strict on this - but - the big places do not do that....you should be able to accommodate the customer. Sidenote? We got there early and there were four open booths. We are always respectful of the timing so we don't overstay. That means we are there to eat. Enjoy the meal when it's just the two of us - and leave - so they can turn the table over. It is my personal opinion - which is nothing to anybody but me, lol! OK Moving on, having said that. Note: he wanted to leave because of it.. Anyway, I had a rough week, just wanted to get a bite to eat that I didn't have to cook or clean up after The coconut shrimp: shrimp, absolutely, very fresh. It was almost dessert like because of the sweet coconut, but I really enjoyed the teriyaki sauce to cut it. So just be warned - it is sweet. If you're looking for savory, this is not it, even with the teriyaki. But I ate them all. The zucchini fries were excellent. Crispy outside and creamy inside. They would've been a little too creamy if not for the horseradish sauce, which is wonderful. I might add? We used that horseradish sauce on the coconut shrimp, the steak, and even on the next dish that we ordered: two shrimp tacos. Again, the shrimp in the tacos? Very fresh. However, I'm gonna make a suggestion: Put a thin layer of guacamole with the shredded lettuce, and perhaps a little bit of shredded cheese - the pico de gallo was a little too spicy for me BUT I felt that it would've been perfect if it had the guacamole to cut it. I believe there were three little shrimps on each taco, adding guacamole and a little bit of cheese, not a lot. That would've made it more savory and four shrimp - more filling. I'm not gonna lie. It was just really skimpy, and I was truly looking forward to a shrimp taco that was a little more filling. I only ordered two tacos because you cannot mix and match the flavors - which is another thing I wish they would allow. I would've absolutely gotten the shrimp taco, a mahi-mahi taco, steak and blue cheese taco. Now, having said that? The ribeye steak was cooked beautifully! Baked potato was excellent. Really loved the thin asparagus. It was cooked perfectly. We would go back even if it was just for the steak. $25. But a good size a good price and cooked wonderfully. They've got a thing going, but there's room for improvement to make it truly perfect. And by that I mean comparing it to Moochies - steak at Trail house was better. Moochies has better buffalo shrimp and tacos. It's really a matter of location for us - because the prices are close and the service is great at both places. Anyway, probably went on too long, but I hope this helped. oh! I did want to add that the food came out very quickly. So Trailhouse does a good job of getting food to table fast. We didn't have to wait for our waitress and like I said earlier, she was excellent. Their staff always is. read more

Good food, the restaurant was packed but I still received my food on time. Staff was attentive and friendly.

I used to like coming to this restaurant, but after my last experience here I won't be back. The waitress's are very rude. Slow service, and the food has gone completely down hill. They took the best thing off their menu(French dip). I ordered a Philly Cheesesteak and the bread was stale. There are other pub style restaurants in the area that have better food and service. I won't be spending my money here anymore. read more

I recommend this place if you want a lively surrounding with loud music. This restaurant has nice seating but was just too loud for my liking. We were seated at a table rather quickly and got some time to look over the menu. I decided on the choice of 3 sliders where I ended up getting fried chicken, grilled chicken, and beef. Everything looked amazing although the only slider worthy coming back for is the fried chicken. I don't know that I would come to dine in again unless I wanted to be lively or went out with friends so next time I will just order in. read more

service was excelllent! Food was absolutely delicious! A very nice, clean establishment.

First, this place is a dump, smells like warmed over sewage. Second, it's run by complete morons. The food absolutely sucks and they have zero sense of what's right and wrong for their customers. The music tonight was bad at best (think Nickleback with way less talent). My best friend, who is absolutely the kindest, gentlest soul I've ever had the pleasure of knowing was TIRED and BORED with the music and atmosphere. He lost his father last night and hadn't slept. Not drunk, not causing any sort of disturbance, not doing anything but nodding off a bit. Had I been inside with this lousy band, crowd and staff, I might have nodded off myself. I walked back into the bar and saw him surrounded by King Kong and Sasquatch (their moronic PROUD BOUNCERS) staring him down like he'd just committed a felony. SO THEY took his drink and cut him off when he was on his first drink and just received their shitty sliders. After this happened, my friend still left a generous tip because that's the type of person that he is. While we were waiting for an Uber to LEAVE, I asked for a drink having not been a party to any of this and they refused service TO ME. Needless to say, that triggered me because I had NOTHING to do with what happened with my friend and was finishing my first drink. I asked the severely addled Bartender to bring the "Manager" over to speak with me but I had to walk over to him because he didn't want to "MANAGE" the situation which happens to be HIS job. I asked why they wouldn't serve me and he said he had to back his bartender. Having been in the industry for many years, I would have respected that had it been based on truth and facts BUT it wasn't. In short, I'll never go back and I'll tell many friends about this situation, actions have consequences and this episode will have a long lasting trickle down effect on their "business." The lesson here is get all the facts before you make a crappy decision. The truth is that I don't think these people can think for themselves and are too stupid to absorb information. Don't waste your time and money at The Trail House. read more

The Trail House - Best flatbread I've had ever! - New American Near Me - Indian Trail, North Carolina

Service on the patio was great! Lots of choices from sliders, tacos, flatbreads, burgers, salads, pasta, to comfort foods like meatloaf, chicken pot pie and pork chops. Generous portions. Drink menu and beer selections are extensive. Appetizers are all pretty heavy. Out of calamari the evening we were there. Dip trio is a rich triple serving of high fat cream cheesy mess. Not my favorite. My salad with tender chicken breast, pecans, generous blue cheese and blue berries was awesome! Meatloaf got three stars from my son and our neighbor eating the same menu item. Lobster ravioli 4 stars. We were there on a Saturday night and the band was setting up. Live music on the weekend. Lots of screens playing sports inside. But the outside patio was calm and pretty quiet. read more

Stopped by this place about a month ago and it was pretty good. My friend ordered the Trail House paste which she enjoyed it. I ordered the Trail House Grilled Cheese which was good. Large enough portions that we needed to go boxes. Also while we were there, we tried out the Blueberry Blush (recommended by the waiter) and it was not good. Tasted like cough syrup to be honest. The bar ended up making me a margarita which was tasty and should be added to the regular menu. For desert, we opted to go for the chocolate chip cookie skillet. Good but average tasting. Overall a good experience here! read more

It was very crowded for a Tuesday so it MUST be popular. It was a noisy, after work crowd, but it was not raucous. Almost every patron was under 40. I had a French beef dip in a hotdog bun with a VERY small amount of horseradish in it. Could have used more horseradish sauce The meat had zero taste, but I knew it was beef. The au jus with it was good and lots of it. The menu item included a little container with some very crisp potato chips which I really liked. Many chips are skinny and very salty. These were not. The service was excellent and quick. I felt she was overworked; perhaps they were missing an employee. My beer was TOPS. I am sorry I forgot which draft now. The menu genre is American Yuppie I think. But not many choices. My son's appetizer of wings did not look that inviting. They looked overcooked and dry BUT - he never criticizes anything. Our meals were not particularly expensive which is a relief after such high prices lately. The parking lot was PACKED solid at 6 p.m. I will go back and try another menu item. read more
