We stopped in for dinner and fir their trivia contest. The food was good. The burgers were very good but the wings were only so-so. We asked that they be extra crispy, but they were almost under-cooked. Otherwise everything about our first visit was very good. I was a bit surprised that an Irish bar didn't have Guinness on tap, but there other beers were good. We will give them another chance on the wings. 😉

Great experience. Looking for a place to get a bite for our day trip on Christmas Eve and happened upon this place. Safe to say it was great. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was great aswell. I believe the hosts name was Jennifer, she was extremely nice and helpful. Definitely recommend whether you are wanting to drink or just eat some good food.

My family had a great first visit here, and already can't wait to return. The service was fantastic, the staff were friendly and happy, and the food was amazing! Seriously, guys-Best tasting burgers we've ever had! What a gem of a place to find.

Went here with my dad and my uncle and his kids. I had a lovely time! I got the all-American burger, my dad got their jalapeño burger, and loved it SO MUCH! that he got a SECOND burger! he loves loves loves sweet potato fries, and the fact they came with maple syrup was a plus for him! we got the cheese cake, which I was supposed to share, but I devoured it before he could have sum. It was a lovely time, and our waitress was the sweetest. im not from NC, but if we come back here, I definitely want to eat here again it was 100% worth every cent. I love the fact they overcooked by burger when I asked, and it wasn't pink at all. The fries were so big and delicious, and the food was super hot and perfect for my dad. 10/10 I love it, and im definitely come back if I can!
