We went this past monday night....there was only about 10 other people there, if that.....It was 50 cents oyster night...so we enjoyed that.....There was only 1 server behind the oyster bar...so service was a little on the slow side....but he apologized for it repeatedly...and he was funny....and we didn't really mind....it gave us more time to watch the game that was on and enjoy the few date nights we actually get being so busy.....The oysters were good....it's not really 'in season' so they weren't gigantic, but i don't like it too big anyway....My husband had the fried seafood platter...the breading was a little bland, but there were two sauces to pick from....and it was a good bit of food too....I had the seafood newberg pasta.....very good....i get scared to order pasta out because it always ends up bland, but this was filled with flavor......oh, and from reading all the bad reviews....i was a little nervous using the gift certificate i bought from zspotlight for 1/2 price....but when i presented it....it was no problem.....our bill was $55.....we had 2 dozen oysters, a house salad, 2 entrees previously mentioned, a soda and a sweet tea.....All that for $55?? It was wonderful....Only the difference of $15 was charged to our card after the $40 certificate...and we tipped our server cash.......It's not a high class five star restaurant with 'stepford wives' type servers.....but its a good intimate date spot for seafood lovers......
Pros: 50 cent oysters!!
Cons: ambience is a little drab/depressing....

Sawmill tap room rocks. We love going to Sawmill. We go at least once a week for dinner. They have the best cheeseburger and cheeses fries. The people are so friendly. They have a bar with TVs for watching sports. It is a great place to go.

My friends and I love to go to karaoke at Napper Tandy's on Wednesday. They have awesome drink specials and the staff there is quick and polite. Collin is a great DJ who is easy to talk to and makes it a point to get to know the regulars. Definitely try them out!
Pros: Great drinks and karaoke.

The Borough is probably my favorite place in Raleigh. The bar is inviting and the food is delicious (although I'm sad that they got rid of the Vizzini, which was my favorite). Their drinks menu features kitschy drinks with out-there ingredients, and I've never met a person who hated the PomBR--but they also have an extensive beer and wine list. I've never had a bad experience here.
Pros: Excellent drinks, friendly staff
Cons: None

This is a great place to watch the game, whatever game it may be. The food is pretty good, but what makes it is the great atmosphere... fun sports bar atmosphere. My only complaint (besides no fatch behind the bar) is you can't smoke cigars there anymore. Oh well.

This is the place to go for low-key good fun. There are a lot of good things about the place, but the best is their wait staff - all the waitresses, bartenders and managers are friendly and on top of things. They create an atmosphere that's almost like being at a friend's place - but with better food, bigger tv's and hotter chicks.
Pros: friendly waitresses, lots of tv's, relatively clean bathrooms
Cons: pool tables are a little small

This is in response to the previous review about restaurants not taking reservations. You will be hard-pressed to find many restaurants that offer reservations. Usually only high-dollar restaurants ('fancy') take reservations (Angus Barn, Ruth's Chris, Magiannos). Many family-style, casual restaurants, do not. So I take it that you don't eat out much when there is a wait. Personally, if the wait is more than 15 minutes, I leave, to come back another day.
Reservations at casual dining restaurants are usually not offered because many people don't show up, leaving the table empty, and the server not making money.
Chili's takes call ahead seating, which is NOT a reservation, but does allow you to be put on the wait list, thereby shortening your wait. Also, the buzzers were unfortunately broken on the night I visited and I was told that Chili's does not utilize an intercom system anymore. Call the corporate office and offer the suggestion, if you think it'll help. Most companies want/need feedback to help improve things. The host/managers could have done more to ensure you were sat as soon as possible; however, those who were sat before you could have been on the 'call-ahead' list and were actually before you....

Whats to complain about??? This is my idea of a perfect Hooters. The food is always great and the service exceptional! Yes, it is an older location but you forget that by the postive, young an clean environment! Great place for watching sports or enjoing a meal with the family. I recomend this Hooters over any other!
Pros: great service and good food
Cons: older location

Ordered take out service 2-5-07.. the place was empty and
I ordered steak and chicken combo for two plus and an order
of chips and fixings. When I got home (only live 5 minites away) the meat was cold the food was enough for
one, no chips or fixings all for 25.00 what a deal...
Called the manager she told me to that she would send me some coupons - will never go there again...
