    Place needs some remodeling inside, feels very dated. Food was pretty good, probably not going to blow your mind though. Ribs were very saucy. Service was excellent. Is definitely a convenient place if you're staying in the attached hotel.

    Steak medallion covered with asiago cheese sauce, and baby back ribs
    Courtney F.

    Went to this restaurant for an anniversary dinner. Ordered the steak medallions. And hubby ordered the steak medallions and half a rack of baby back ribs. The steak medallions was more on the tough side with little flavor . The baby back ribs had no flavor just a lot of sauce. The best thing was the green beans and the mashed potatoes that came with the meal. We did enjoy the drinks from the bar. I had a piña colada and my husband had an old-fashioned. Overall, the ambience was nice. I give it three stars because of the flavor and toughness of the meat. I will probably not come back to the establishment because of those reasons . It's overpriced for what we received.

    Really good burger
    Lori R.

    This chain restaurant is tucked away in the Delta Hotel in RTP. Staying in the hotel, it fit the bill for us for dinner. We were given a comfy booth and had very friendly service, good drinks and food and prices were surprisingly not as high as we thought they might be since prices weren't on the online menu. Husband had a burger which he very much liked. I had the shrimp scampi which was good, but very plain. Would have loved some spinach or something like that in it. The amazing part was the brownie sundae. I'm not a brownie or a sundae person, but let me tell you, it's a killer dessert!

    The food was great, the service was subpar (our waitress was very inattentive), and the ambiance is very bright and inviting (a welcomed change from the heavily dimmed restaurants). It is a nice and casual family friendly restaurant. They accept reservations as well, which I would highly recommend if you have a large party. We enjoyed the ribs (falling off the bone!), green beans, and fries, and chicken alfredo florentine. The food arrived at the perfect temp and everything tasted so fresh. We ordered the brownie bites with Oreo ice cream to go and it was the perfect dessert to end the night. This location is attached to a Marriott hotel so there is plenty of parking. I would definitely return to try their bbq trio, nashville hot chicken sandwich, or any of their delicious looking cocktails. They have a full bar area open for seating as well. Cons: They do not list their non alcoholic beverages, sides, nor do they have a kids menu on the main menu (not sure if they have one at all). We wanted something other than sweet tea (lemonade maybe) but that is all they had.

    Fried Mozzarella Sticks
    Claire C.

    Was staying in the hotel upstairs and ordered fried mozzarella sticks and a side of Mac and cheese for takeout. I tried calling a few times but wasn't able to get through on the phone so I ended up heading downstairs to order in person. Wait was about 20 minutes for takeout. Pretty average (no cheese pulls here) but definitely hit the spot.

    Ginormous Beef Ribs

    RTP is a tough place to find places for lunch and dinner sit down. My friend asked me to lunch at TR and I remember this place for PacNW. We had great food and service at lunch. Lunch portion nice chicken with Chicken Alfredo Florentine was so tasty! So good I came back with my husband for dinner! Much busier still great service, drinks and food. It's a bit bright lighting to set a more romantic mood but still really great. It definitely a chain but I appreciate an alternative steak, seafood and chicken place in RTP! And the servers are so sweet! Hey Sandra and Natasha!

    House side salad
    Amy S.

    Discovered Tony Romas was in Durham. Last time I ate at one was in Las Vegas years ago. I had to try this one. I thought the ribs were good, good flavor, no fatty bits, but weren't exactly fall-off-the-bone. The salad was very good. My brother-in-law got a Bloody Mary which he said was very good. The decor is very modern, not like the old Vegas restaurant. I think this is a cool addition to the area and will definitely go back and try again. I recommend making reservations.

We sat outside this day, as the weather was mild and there wasn't any available seats inside. We ordered a fried combo and a grilled combo. TrySeafood does a lot of things right. Portion size was fairly generous. We especially love the fact they serve cleaned jumbo shrimp. Food was cooked well, shrimp was tender as was scallops. The broccoli was not tender crisp nor mushy. The potatoes and corn were delicious. While service was friendly, it was a bit slow. Also, I'm not an Old Bay fan. The grilled shrimp were seasoned with Old Bay. While the fish was crispy, I prefer a cornmeal dredge to a flour dredge. Finally, (and this could have been a me thing) the tip percentage on the screen doesn't align with the math. I intended to tip 15% - which is standard especially considering slow service. That should have been approx $8 and when I got home I realized it was approximately $16. You're not given a printed receipt and if you're in a rush and going through the process quickly it's easy to miss. Again I may have missed something, but I'm pretty sure I selected the %15 option. Additionally, I've seen other restaurants that have intentionally include this practice. Would I go again, sure. I'd request a different seasoning blend or a light seasoning and check that math!

    We came to Cape Fear Seafood Company in Cary for a Valentine's Day dinner…read more We've been wanting to try this place for a while. Super excited to finally get in to check it out. We made reservations ahead of time online since it was a Holiday. First off the front staff was super friendly and got us to our table right away. Love the feel and the decor. The lighting was a tad dark but that's ok. It was still cozy and romantic. Our waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable. They had a special Valentine's Day menu. She ran down the specials by memory. She took our drink and appetizer order ( the calamari fritti) gave us time to check out the rest of the expansive menu. The drinks came and our app. The lemonades were very sweet and nicely tart from the real fruit purée and lemons. Delightful! The calamari fritti was a knock out, home run. The breading was delicious. The calamari was nice and tender. The marinara was so good. Get this is you like calamari! For our mains we got the Sea bass special with the creamy risotto and asparagus and the figure 8 stuffed Flounder. Lemme tell you...This place knows sea food. What an incredible experience. The sea bass Valentine's Day menu special was cooked to perfection. So flaked and moist. Seared and seasoned perfectly. They should add it to the main menu. The risotto was amazing. Creamy and flavorful. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. The figure 8 stuffed flounder was delicious as well. The crab stuffing was absolutely great! The sauce over top was creamy and worked perfectly with the flounder and crab. It came with the most delicious fresh green beans with a couple nicely seasoned tomatoes. The rice pilaf was also really nice. Around this time I realized the Valentine's Day menu had Oysters Rockefeller ... and I love oysters Rockefeller. So I put in for an order of those. Best oysters Rockefeller I've had in a long time! Add these to the menu! For dessert... we ordered the apple crumb at vanilla bean ice cream. Perfect way to end out meal. We cannot wait to come back and try the rest of the menu! Save us a table! Kudos to the staff and chef / cooks. Yall did an amazing job.

The…read moremini crab cakes were a perfect starter and I enjoyed their very flavorful but not spicy version of their popular shrimp & grits. Nice atmosphere inside, but recommend reservations as they fill up quickly. The Deets: Some friends/coworkers and I decided to catch up over a meal and we decided on trying out this location of Cape Fear Seafood Co. on Lake Pine Drive. I had been to the one located in the Village District (formerly Cameron Village) of DTR in the past and knew of this one opening up through Yelp. If you know me, I am usually not one for seafood but remember I had a pretty good experience at the one in DTR. We noted that it would be a good idea to have a reservation so one was made. Good thing, this place gets crowded fast, even around the 5pm point. Upon arrival, we were promptly shown to a table with menus. While walking in, this restaurant has that beach type feeling with brightly painted areas and subtle pelagic decor without going overboard. The bar area gave a warm, inviting vibe. Back to the menu, their menu is pretty expansive but not over the top multiple pages. I think even the non-seafood lover can find something to like here. We started with hush puppies for the table and I went with the appetizer sized mini crab cakes for myself. I loved the mini crab cakes and the lemon beurre blanc sauce with them, just enough for a starter and tasted great. The hush puppies were good as well but just a tiny bit too brown for me, they were a little bit more done than I'd like. I like them more of a golden finish instead of brown, just my preference. For my main dish, I went with their Cape Fear Shrimp & Grits. They are a pretty popular choice here and I remember liking them at the DTR location. They remained a great choice, they were delicious. They are very flavorful and enjoyable without being spicy, which I like as I am non-spicy food person and it seems most everywhere does their shrimp & grits spicy. I find this take on them refreshing. I would have liked more cheese grits in the serving as it seems to be like a half serving, however the shrimp as well as the creamy sauce were plentiful. Service did a good job here, checking on us periodically. In all, I liked this experience here at Cape Fear Seafood Co. for the most part and would enjoy visiting again in the future.

    "Fresh local seafood"…read more I've come here a few times, so I was surprised to see I hadn't reviewed it! Saltbox started as a little shack near downtown but now occupies the place previously held by Shrimp Boats on 15-501 business between Guglhupf and Q-Shack. There are some outdoor picnic tables and several tables inside. I came most recently on a Saturday at 6:30pm. All the seafood here is super fresh, so the menu varies over time. I was excited this time to get crabcakes or scallops, but sadly, they ran out earlier in the day. Hence, I ended up with soft shelled crab platter (with potatoes and slaw), and one dining partner had a shrimp sandwich with the honey tots. The soft shelled crab was maybe the best I'd had, even though it looked a little odd-- super red and "squished". But it was VERY soft and flavorful. The potatoes and slaw were both excellent-- I liked the onions and peppers fried in with the potatoes, and the slaw was a nice vinegary rather than creamy slaw. I had one of my friend's tots, and WOW, those are good-- I'd get that next time. They loved their shrimp too-- I may go for that next time. Service was good-- we checked on our order at one point (see below), and the fellow remembered the name as well as being apologetic for the delay! The only negative-- it was maybe an hour from when we arrived 'til I got my platter. Some of that was the line, but a lot of it was just they were really busy and had a lot of orders (both dine-in and carry out). I probably wouldn't come again at that time of day, given the fewer options and long wait time. Still, EXCELLENT fresh fried seafood. Happy to give it 5 stars.
