Janice Vuncannon SearsAugust 8, 2015This is a great place to schedule an event. You can reserve the room with the pool tables, which they will cover with eating surfaces and cloth table cloths. Perfect for meetings.
Sideshow PromoJanuary 10, 2015Great atmosphere. Good beer. And the best service. When they ask frys or chips always get the chips. Made in house
Vince FrankMarch 5, 2015The burgers and wings were awesome. Service was great around dinner time. Went back around midnight they start open till two to get midnight snack and was basically ignored by the bartenders.
Great Raleigh landmark and some of the best burgers in town. Be sure to grab a beer and enjoy a game. Go Wolfpack!
Justin BauerFebruary 13, 2015Jalapeño poppers are outstanding. Service is good. Open faced roast beef wasn't bad. Steak looked awesome.
Lindsay BenedekDecember 14, 2013Friendly staff . Didn't eat here but everything smelled great! Very nice regulars who are chatty! Enjoyed out cocktails/beers!
- Sheila GillApril 4, 2013Only place still serving food on a Wednesday night after midnight!! Pretty surprising with NCSU right around the corner. Get the sausage dip, great snack.
They have great chili too. I like it w Fritos or their housemade potato chips, which are awesome alone too! Family-friendly but just gettin loaded friendly too =)- Janice Vuncannon SearsAugust 8, 2015We love the iceberg wedge and the entree meals. We also love the Cameron Park special nights.
Favorite bar around the university eat the hamburger. Seriously you can't go wrong with anything on their menu
Scott ShawApril 17, 2013Gabby burger delicious. Just the right size. Get the chips instead of fries... With BBQ sauce.
Waitress Brandy delivers excellent service. Chopped salad and Mexican soup special was to die for.
Great burgers, salads, wine and scotch selection... Get Alex as your server- attentive and fun to look at.
GaryJuly 12, 2013Our first visit to Raleigh & found this place by accident & it is great!! Nothing like this in Memphis!!
Wynne KellyJanuary 30, 2012Go on Sunday!!!!! 1/2 price appetizers! You can get a rack of ribs for 7 bucks! Awesome sausage dip
Get sauteed vegetables as a side with your sandwich/burger instead of chips.
Arjay HinekApril 21, 2011Definitely do the Wednesday wine tour special for two. Best dinner deal in town.
Race To The BallotJanuary 26, 2012A fave stop for the Race to the Ballot team! Join us to defeat the Anti-LGBT Amendment on the May 8th primary ballot!- Great beer selection. Great wine selection. Great scotch selection. Great atmosphere. Get the Bernie Burger!
Jennifer PeltierApril 6, 2014Got the egg and bacon sandwich with hash browns. The hash browns were cold and stale tasting. We WERE going to stay for mimosas but we decided this place wasn't worth our time.
Amazing food. Attractive wait staff. Great time.
Jimmy FarrowAugust 7, 2011Not a bad place to drink, but...who serves chicken wings with the hot sauce ON THE SIDE? And it tastes like Texas Pete, billed as PR Sauce!
best burgers in raleigh -- get the fries with honey mustard instead of chips!
If you hate on Pr's I hate you. Tony and Burke are two of the coolest cats around. Don't get hustled on the pool table haha
Burgers are amazing! A large selection of beers. Just a great neighborhood bar.

"Place doesn't appear very clean, but have to admit is surprisingly good. Chicken sandwiches were fantastic. Not just toppings, but the chicken all by itself tasted awesome! Potato chips are great too!"
