Meh. The nachos were cold and the chips were already soggy. The toppings were mediocre and the cheese is like the weird nacho cheese you get at gas stations. The fries were okay but we asked for ranch three times and when we got it, it was gross. 0/10 would not recommend

As far as airport food goes, this place was decent. Nice crispy tater tots, the burgers were ok. A bit on the dry side. My BBQ burger had about a teaspoon of BBQ sauce. But the ingredients were fresh. The service was not great. No friendliness. But that's expected in airport spots. The place had cool decor and a nice vibe. A country bar type of aesthetic. My lady made me promise to include that her southwest burger had NO avocado in it. She was disappointed. Happy, babe?

We went to Whiskey River in the airport in Raleigh. We went here since there were only really 3 or so food options at the airport. Both the chicken tenders and quesadilla were not very good unfortunately. The restaurant was very bizarre in the way it was set up. You scan a QR code to place your order and pay. There is really no server. It was a very odd set up. The live music yesterday was good though!

Just walk across

Yelpers.... Just don't, turn around and hum to yourself LOUISIANA LOVES POPEYES and walk yo self right across the hall. I mean look at my club sandwich.... It's like they got the 99 cent turkey and ham at krogers, slap a lil bacon and lil something something sauce and call it a club. Only reason I gave it two stars was the service was great and they live music- the food in RDU is so sketch there's like no decent place in terminal 2, so Popeyes hits your crave. This cost me 28 with tip and drink, I mean it's so sorry-- if you're here for drinks then maybe I'd like it more, essentially when you come here you are renting the space to sit-- the food is just meh.

Chicken tenders over rotten lettuce.

Dont waste your time or money going here. Food was terrible and service was very poor. Chicken tenders are really bad quality and did not taste fresh. looked like they had been sitting under the warmer awhile. not worth $15 and they served it on bad rotten lettuce. Ordered soda but they never served it then had to fight to get it taken off my bill. Save your money and go across the aisle to popeyes chicken or another restaurant.

I had a 3 hr layover & was starving so I decided to try this place out while I waited. My server was pretty nice but wasn't chatty per say. It took about 25 minutes for my order to show up but after taking a bite I regretted my decision to eat here especially when there is a Popeyes right across the walk. My fries were cold so I asked for a new order of them. I ate the burger even though it was brutally tuff. I won't mKe this mistake again. $24 with a drink & tip

Cameron was awesome. Very personable and great with customers. He made our drinks perfectly. We love the Texas tequila sauce on chicken tenders. The wings were a little overcooked but still delicious. We definitely would recommend this place while waiting on a flight.

In RDU airport killing time. Prices were relatively decent for airport food. My buffalo chicken sandwich wasn't the best, though. The flavor was good but I had to ask for a new toasted bun because mine was drenched in buffalo sauce and soggy. Thought I could finish up the average meal with the only dessert on the menu, but they were out of peach crumble. So, there's that. Tater tots were a little hard but that's being picky because I sure did eat them all. Other people seemed to enjoy their food and management was around asking people how they were enjoying their meals. Live music was a nice touch as well.

Tucked in a small strip mall behind a gas station, I'm certain that this is a hidden gem in the…read moretriangle. The food here punched way above its weight class - I'm talking Manny Pacquaio level. From the garnachas, to the Cuban sandwich with perfectly seasoned crispy French fries to the pork pupusa which were all good but it was their churrasco steak and pollo Dorado (golden fried chicken) that blew our party of 4 away. The Churrasco steak was super tender and maximum flavor. It's been a long time since I've had steak that good. Their golden fried chicken was no joke in that it was perfectly deep fried and juicy. Fried beans and rice sides and small salads were all fresh and wonderfully flavorful. Do yourself a treat and check this place out and you will be pleasantly surprised. Will definitely be back again. NOTE- I noticed after I got home that the prices charged for their Pupusa. Churrasco and pollo Dorado were all $1 more than listed in the menu. Also the beef garnachas are charged per piece so be sure to confirm how many you're getting when ordering because my waiter ended up bringing out five of them for our party of four when we were expecting one. We ended up eating all five but it came a bit of a surprise when it came time to settle the bill.

Update to below review:…read more I've been here 5 times now and have a better feel for things. They have games here too...things like Uno, trivia, battleship, trivia, jenga, etc. It's kid friendly during daytime hours and the occasional food truck is really great! It was rockin' last Friday night--musical Bingo followed by Kareoke w a food truck and great 80s 90s music playing w sports on the TV's. Everyone I meet is a parent or part of a family, so extremely friendly, and my sis's dog got to meet another dog even so it was just really amazing to see a neighborhood embrace this bisiness so quickly--obviously it was the missing piece. Even more of a reason for 5 stars! __________________ Cute new neighborhood bar. Dog water bowls inside and out, 3 big screens w sound wired to all inside, pool table, sofas, hightops bar seating....20+ beers on tap and a liquor menu focused on bourbons and some whiskeys and scotch--but they have a little of everything. Service was polite and speedy. Ambiance / atmosphere / vibe was clean w a little industrial vibe w the cool ceiling. Foid trucks rotate in regularly--this place is great and dog-friendly. I can't wait to see it grow as this is the 1st written review and I'm just visiting my sis who lives in the neighborhoid (I live in Richmond VA). 5 stars.

This isn't my first time visiting this place, and each time my impressions only get better.

During the day, it's comfortable for families, and evening events transform the space into a real entertainment center. Musical activities, karaoke, and the arrival of various food trucks add variety and make each visit special. People around are easy to talk to, and you can feel that the locals sincerely support this establishment. It's very nice to see how it's becoming part of the community. I'll be happy to come back again -- five stars without hesitation!

Highly recommend the Evil Noodles; zippy, spicy sauce, grill charred mushrooms and veggies and the super wide, pillowy rice noodles. I'm not a noodle expert, but they tasted/felt hand pulled; forgot to ask! I'd like to go back at least 20 times to try everything on the menu. They also have a group menu for private events and plenty of space to host a large group. We saw some of the family style dishes and sushi going by and it was first class.

For cocktails, we had the Silk Road and the Nightshade's Revival Barrel Aged cocktail. All the food felt fresh and was very flavorful. I used to dislike mango when I was young - I've since grown to be ok with it in my adulthood - but the Mango Tuna Crisp roll exceeded my expectations. The passion fruit definitely provided a nice contrast to the sweet mango that made it really delicious. Also, the spicy duck sauce with the spring rolls was a 10/10! That's the way I always want my duck sauce from now on. Unfortunately, I can't give it 5 stars because the wait time for service and the check during our meal was very long. We came in when it wasn't busy and it became moderately busy while we were there, but it still was a long time between the times they checked in on our table.

The garlic parmesan rub left a pool of garlic in the tray that was an oily mess. The boneless fritters themselves had a strong outer fried shell. Took a bit to dig a fork into. But once you got in, the chicken was an oily mess, there was just a pool of oil inside each bite. I would say my stomach on average is pretty strong and can handle a good amount, but these boneless fritters took me out and I had stomach pain the next day. Would stay away from these and just order normal wings or something else on the menu.

Woody's Sports Tavern - Morrisville…read more Picked up my better half from RDU after a week away on a redeye. She was hungry, I was smart enough to know better than to go straight home -- so, impromptu Friday night date! We've driven past Woody's Sports Tavern in Morrisville probably 100 times and never stopped. Big mistake. TL;DR -- we should have gone sooner. Parking was easy (though that lot does get crowded later). We got seated right away and met our server, Sierra. We told her it was our first time, and she lit up -- shocked we hadn't been before, excited to give recommendations, and genuinely fun to chat with. Always nice when you can tell someone actually likes where they work. Food rundown: I went Patty Melt with fries, my partner went South Beach wrap with tots. Both were solid, and ironically we each liked the other's sides better... so, swapsies. Service was fast, portions were big (half of mine came home with me), and the price/value was right on point. Overall? Good vibes, hearty food, great server. Definitely glad we finally stopped in -- and we'll be back.
