    How welcoming :-/
    Kiki K.

    Very sketchy, uncomfortable vibe. I wasn't sure if I pulled up to the right place due to all the cars, dirt and gravel parking area. Looked more like a house or biker club meeting area. Walked in to this lovely flag and unwelcoming stares, like what Is she doing here? No seriously, a older man at the end of the bar yelled, "Don't worry, you're safe," as everyone else laughed. Really? Stood there for about 2 mins before even being greeted just for me to tell them I had a call in order that clearly hadn't been started yet even though I called about 20 min prior. A part of me wanted to turn around and leave right then. But I said no, some of the best food I've had came from a whole in a wall, I'm not going to be like that.. should've listened to my gut. Left smelling like a years worth of cigarette smoke and completely bland wings and onion rings. My experience was completely different than the reviews and I do not recommend nor will I return.

    Pickups and Harleys in the parking lot. It must be good.

    I love a good dive bar. And reminiscent of an old country store, White Oak Grill AND Lounge is the Holy Grail of that genre. White Oak has liquor--and food--and they take credit cards--three things most true dive bars don't have. The bar is bursting with old school, roadside honky tonk character. Their sign is a simple hand-painted piece of plywood. Parking is in a gravel lot (littered with a few beer cans) off the highway. And walking into the bar with a screen door slamming behind me just feels right. Staff was friendly and the food was really good. We had mushroom/jalapeno pizza and fried okra because we're healthy like that. I was surprised to see the bartender/cook making the pizza dough fresh with each order. The pizza was awesome. White Oak has pool tables, outdoor seating, and a stage for karaoke and live music (I was there seeing a friend's blue grass band). And you can get fried dough, boiled peanuts, and Jello shots. It's better than the State Fair! The full menu features country cookin' and typical bar fare. I can't wait to stop in for breakfast--and it's nice to know I can have a shot of whiskey with my egg sandwich if I'm so inclined. Thank you White Oak. There aren't many places like you left in this trendy world.

    Awesome onion rings

    This place ain't fancy but it's a great place to get a good meal. Don't let the decor (or lack thereof) scare you off. This is a friendly neighborhood bar with some of the best food in Garner. The burgers are excellent. The pizza is the best we've had in Garner (they make their own dough in-house), and the onion rings are among the best I've had anywhere. They don't usually have microbrews, they don't serve craft cocktails (they do mix a good margarita, though) and they certainly don't have artisanal ice (or artisanal anything), but if you're looking for a tasty bite or a cold beer in a friendly atmosphere, this is the place.

    The night we were there was a karaoke night and what everyone lacked in talent they more than made up for in spirit.

    CowBar is a great option if you are ever craving a burger in the North Hills area. The burgers are…read moremassive and very juicy filled with high quality ingredients. Service could be better, but it's not bad. Decor and the bar were very cool and well designed parts of the restaurant. We ordered the Alabama Slammer and Classic Cheeseburger with truffle fries. We received regular fries at first, but were able to get what we originally ordered (truffle fries) after talking to the servers. If you order the truffle fries, make sure to grab a fork or extra napkins (or both)! Eating them gets real messy. Overall, a nice, casual burger spot in Raleigh with great fries.

    Wow, I haven't been to CowBar in a while since I'm not a huge fan of crazy food halls but their new…read morelocation up at North Hills is top-notch! Located in the newer section of North Hills, CowBar is a more sophisticated rendition of their Morgan Street Food Hall location. Very similar with maybe a few extras, you order up front, get a number, self-service soft drinks and condiments in the back and wait for you eats. Pick up your meal at the counter and it's time to eat! I did their popular truffle burger with fries Italiano and OMG! The burger was amazingly tender, rich and delicious. Tender grilled beef, smoky Gouda cheese, caramelized onions and truffle flavoring throughout. The skin-on fries with shaved parm, rosemary and garlic made for the perfect side. While the bar is not open yet, it looks like CowBar North Hills will have some beers and drinks to go with your burger. Overall I am super happy with what I experienced at CowBar. While the food is a touch pricey, it's totally worth the money and a better option to dine here, versus a crowded, noisy spot. Enjoy, Raleigh. You may have the best burger in the Triangle with CowBar!

    Such a great burger!!! It's been my go-to place in Raleigh whenever I want to grab a good burger…read more Quick service, and it's in the middle of a food hall (Transfer Co. Food Hall) so there's lots of space to sit. I'm never disappointed with the Reaper burger (if you like spice this is a great choice), and I love bringing friends here whenever I get the chance. Even spent a Valentine's Day dinner here, it was great.

    Haiku: Mama Crow's Burger & Salad Shop…read more Got vegan burger Disappointed soggy fries Cool Transfer Food Hall. --- Located in the Transfer Food Hall, Mama Crow's features a menu of fresh, locally sourced salads, fresh, top-quality burgers, house-made cheeses, and hand-cut fries. I ordered the Superfree Burger, their vegan burger patty made of sweet potatoes, roasted mushrooms, walnuts and seeds; topped with avocado, tomato, mixed greens, onions, and a garlic-tahini dressing. Usually, I'm always excited to try a restaurant's vegan burger, but sad to say, their vegan burger was a bit underwhelming. I felt the patty was on the dry and crumbly side. I also ordered a Kid's Hot Dog meal for my child. The hot dog looked delish, but sadly, the hand-cut fries were soggy, greasy, and dark. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't appetizing. I should have asked the kitchen to make another batch for us. Mama Crow's had so much promise. I'd still come back to give it another try, but I'll order a burger next time.
