Brand new establishment inold TGIF. Man have they done some phenomenal work to this place. Modern and up to date with an open and vibrant feel. I’ve patronized twice and the wait staff seems non existent. Takes a while to get recognized. However we live in a world of being short staffed everywhere. The food is good and you get plenty for the buck. I will likely go again hopefully on a Friday or Saturday evening.

It started off good, the interior is amazing and so clean. However we ordered the shrimp basket and chicken tenders and both weren’t very good. The breading fell off the shrimp and the chicken tenders were tough as eating a leather glove. $31 was reasonable if the food had been delicious but it was far from that, only thing good was the fries, drink and the service. Oh, and the outside is nasty, trash everywhere and tall weeds in the parking lots. They need a landscaper and trash pick up!

We were very happy the North Raleigh location is finally open. But we were a little disappointed with the music selection, hair in our good, and onion rings.

I love this place! I was literally waiting for this place to finally open and it was absolutely worth the wait. Our server was very nice and attentive, I loved the decor and atmosphere, the restroom was CLEAN, and my crab boil with mussels was awesome! The price for a dinner for 2 was definitely better than expected for that type of meal. Please support, this type of service isn’t something u come across often in this area

We went last Saturday a little after 6, group of 7, we had to wait a little bit since we didn’t have a reservation. The hosts were great on keeping us updated. Once we got sat our server Allyah was quick, so friendly and helpful throughout our dinner. (There was a language barrier with some people in the group and she was so patient). We ordered some hushpuppies, a couple of lobster tail specials, fried shrimp basket, and another mixed boil, the food came out in a timely manner and was honestly delicious. The specials came with plenty of food. The drinks were also really good and pretty, only feedback was that the “fun shot” we ordered got to us a little late and the whipped cream had gotten a little gross, but that didn’t affect anything. Service was awesome, restaurant was clean, and the vibes were fun. We will be back!

Very poor customer service, we went there and the entire place was empty except one table we were party of 8 they sit us on one table and when we told the lady who was our server that we need a bigger table (which was very obvious because we had 3 kids) she said let me see if I can find you another table (seriously???? While the whole place was empty)
