I'm a picky eater who generally finds pizza to be merely acceptable as fuel for my body. Mellow Mushroom made me a pizza fa, starting with an excellent and healthy salad. The pizza was done to perfection and according to my specifications. I'm going back there next trip to see my grandchildren. Thank you for the 5 stars!! We canât wait to see you and your grandkids again and hope you enjoy it as much as you did this last time!! See you soon!

Any restaurant with Hot Dog written on the window catches my attention. While driving downtown WF I spotted this restaurant and decided to check it out. Glad I did. The Carolina style hot dog was great. You may have to stand in line during the noon rush but when you get to the front of the line you place your order at the counter and by the time the cashier makes your change they are handing you your food. Very casual, but a great place for casual food. Oh yes, there are pool tables and additional seating in the back room.

Great family place, line dancing serve staff, all smiles, mostly busy all the time. Usually have the sirloin every time and itâs always great! Have been with friends who have had the salmon and burgers. All have been good. Go early to get Early Bird prices! Also to get a table.

Stewartâs Bistro is a hidden gem in Wake Forest, Iâm the Heritage area. Itâs in a shopping center on the end at the corner so many people donât realize itâs there. Stewartâs serves some of the best breakfast and lunch in the area. Thereâs indoor and outdoor seating, it gets pretty crowded during peak times, but Iâve learned the best time to eat is really early or after 1pm. They close at 3 so keep that in mind. The staff is warm and friendly, theyâre great at making suggestions and helping you choose the best bang for your buck (everything). Someone is guaranteed to come out and check on you and make sure youâre enjoying your meal. The atmosphere is bright and cheery, they have chalkboard signs and blocked sayings all around. Most tables seat up to 4 comfortably, they also have seating at the counter and a few high top tables. I love their fluffy, big pancakes and the crispy bacon. Everything is prepared fresh upon ordering. You really canât go wrong here.

We have been there several times. Every time we go we try something new, and love the new thing we tried. Last time we had lasagna and a portabella sandwich and they were great. Before that, we did breakfast. Again, awesome. A word of warning...their pancakes are huge!!! I got a short stack and still could not finish them. Next time I'm getting one with my breakfast. Next time I plan on trying the vegan burger. I believe it is a recipe of their own devising. Mind you, the food is fresh and wonderful and something like that along with personalized service is not something you will get at Denny's prices. It does cost a bit more, but it's not what I would consider expensive. Moreover, the quality of food and service make it a bargain in my book!

We had our first experience at this restaurant tonight and were so impressed. The cocktails were amazing and food was stunning. We had the crab coated portobello to start then the duck risotto and rabbit shepherds pie. Finally shared the carrot cake. Probably the best restaurant we have been to this year. Our server Donny was amazing and we were so impressed we asked to speak to the manager. Again a great experience and so appreciative of the great feedback we gave. We will be back very soon.Wow, way to make our Monday special stinkyandthebrain! We love getting all guest feedback, but it is truly appreciated when a guest goes out of their way to let us know that our efforts at Farm Table don't go unappreciated. We will be sure to pass along your compliments to Chef and Donny and we look forward to hosting you again soon!Warm Regards,The Farm Table Team

I love Backfins Crab House the food is great, sometimes there is a waiting time to be seated but well worth the wait. There are lots of good choices on the menu but my favorite is the crab cake. Service is always good and the owners are helpful and friendly. Enjoy!

Well priced seafood for the area. Dont expect it to be ludicrously good or even fresh per se but given the location and pricing matrix I thought it was quite good. My wasabi tuna steak was cooked perfectly. Conversely my father's fried scallops were flavorless and devoid of anything besides a chewy texture.

We went on a Saturday before 9:00. Waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Good, friendly, efficient service. The Elvis avocado toast had a little bit too much going on, but it was very good. We eat here fairly often, our favorite breakfast spot.
