At first, I was a little underwhelmed by both the service & the time it took for food to come out however, the 25 minutes waiting was worth it. By far one of the best Buffalo Chx wraps I’ve had in the triangle, and the amount of fries provided were nearly double most of the restaurants will give you. The steak fries are handcrafted, fried well, and the homemade ranch was great. I absolutely would come back here to eat. The buffalo wrap being $18 was worth the price! I brought a 10 month old infant, and nobody in the restaurant was bothered given the moderate noise.

In looking at another location, the name Relish caught my eye. I got on the waiting list just in case. When we got there outside seating was available so we were seated fairly quick on a Friday night. The ambiance is dark and bourbon bar like with bar seating, a dining area with tables and booths and outside tables. There is a section inside which sells sauces, candles, jewelry, etc. The menu is fairly extensive with many options. The Bourbon list was even more extensive. The staff were friendly and service very good. I got the Popper sandwich, which was like a jalenpeno popper on sour dough. Not quite as cheesy as I thought, I'm a cheese nut, but was delicious!. I loved rhe side of creamy cheese grits as my side. Hubs got a side salad, which was quite large, and the bacon jam burger. The bacon jam was the best I've had thus far. Great burger. I highly recommend upgrading your fries to these fries with bacon. It was the best spend of $1.50. They had bottle of wine specials. With every red purchase, the winery donates to help keep the ocean clean. It is a little pricey, but I feel worth the money. We will be back to take another family member for the Bourbon.

The friend green tomatoes were my favorite! They were sliced perfectly and seasoned to perfection. I ordered the Tuscan Mac and Cheese and it definitely hit the spot. My friend ordered shrimp and grits and they screamed bacon. Very tasty!

The restaurant floor and booth seats need updating but the decor is cute. The waitstaff was really slow and there was hardly anyone else there as it was between 4-5. We noticed several waitstaff just hanging out. The fried pimento cheese was good. The country fried steak was just okay. My friend said the bbq was good but not amazing. I feel like with a little effort this could be much better and looks like it has been in the past.

First impression was incredible! Huge Old Fashioned fan so this place truly was exciting. The Browned butter Old fashioned was incredible but cannot forget the French Toast Pudding! Highly recommend checking this place out, if able.

Great drinks and food in a casual atmosphere. The menu is elevated gastro pub but the cocktail list and bourbon are top notch. Portions were large and quality of ingredients was good. Service was friendly and helpful and prices are reasonable given the portions . A great place for dinner and drinks with friends.

Relish is such a great spot for brunch! The atmosphere is welcoming, with a fun Southern vibe that feels both modern and homey. I love their option of indoor and outdoor seating, while providing options to set at the bar as well. The staff is always friendly and attentive—they make you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. The food is absolutely amazing. Their Biscuit and Gravy is always a great choice, as well as their Tater tots. The tots are always cooked to perfection with a great crunch. I also got the Chipotle BLT wrap, and that was a hit as well. You can really tell they care about quality and creativity in their dishes. They also have a great selection of bourbon and craft cocktails, which pairs perfectly with the comfort food. (A spicy Bloody Mary is a great addition to your brunch for anyone who enjoys them.) Whether you're going for brunch, lunch, or dinner, Relish delivers every time.

Wow, excellent place. The atmosphere itself is AWESOME because it has a homey type feel! I also loved the little store that was towards the entrance inside, that was so cute. The only thing I didn’t like was that I felt like the service was a tad slow. Sure, it’s a hopping place, but us hungry southerners like our food quick! It was totally worth the wait because the food was fricken DELICIOUS!!! It tasted healthy, wholesome and homemade. I got the Mac & Cheese Skillet and it was hit at first but it was so yummy! I totally recommend this place 💕

Was so excited to try this place and it did not disappoint! My friend and I ordered the fried green tomatoes, fried black eyed peas and fried pickles to start (we couldn't choose!). For entrees, we got the Big Cheese grilled cheese with tomato soup and the Country Fried Steak. Everything was delicious! The grilled cheese was one of the best I've ever had. I wish the fried pickles were juicier, but they were still enjoyable and came with a dipping sauce. Our server was friendly and attentive, even though the restaurant was pretty packed for a Wednesday night. Definitely will be back, and would recommend this place if you have guests visiting.

Have not been to Relish I a long time, and was quite pleasantly surprised by the food and service. Came in for a weeknight dinner and was seated quickly (they need new benches in their booths). Our server was right there to take drink orders and took our meal order when she returned. We ordered from the "Winter Test Kitchen" menu, starting with the Flash-Fried Half Brussel sprouts. They were seasoned nicely and had a lot of shredded parmesan cheese on top. The only comment about them would be to have some slightly smaller sprouts, a couple of the sprouts were easily an inch or more and quite tough. Also ordered the Slider Trio and they were quite large, took two home. The BLT with a Fried Green Tomato and Feta was well received! The final dish was the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich which was very good and had a lot of Crispy Onion straws on it. The roll was huge and I took the chicken out halfway through and was not disappointed by the chicken, excellent flavor and the toppings were good. The Jalapeno Ranch has a nice subtle heat to it, not overwhelming but it's defnitely there! Overall it is a nice place for a casual dinner and even when it's busy the service was impeccable. The little shop in front of the restaurant had some interesting item for sale including more kinds of Bitter than I've ever seen. Maybe next time, lol,

I had dinner here with my friends on a Friday evening and the whole experience was pretty average. Food, service, and atmosphere were all fine but unremarkable. Nothing was bad by any means but at the same time, nothing really stood out or blew me away.

I came here for lunch with my parents on a Sunday and the food was amazing! This is a great place to have southern food. I got the Santa Fe Burger and it was cooked perfectly medium rare and full of flavor. My dad got the BBQ Nachos as his entree and while we didn't like the green salsa that came with it, the nachos were tasty as is. My mom got the Black and Blue Chicken Sandwich and she enjoyed it with her side salad. We were sat at a table near the bar and I enjoyed the decor and vibes. Service was fine. I can't wait to come back and try something different!

My daughter suggested we go here since they have nice outdoor seating. It was a gorgeous night to eat outside. I ordered the fish and chips and by let me t me tell you that the portions are huge and the cod was fried perfectly. Their French fries were like steak fries and cooked to perfection. There was plenty to take home for another meal.

Loved our time here! Was a nice date, great southern food and had a romantic feel with the lights on each table. We ordered the fried green tomatoes with cheese on top (no feta) and they were delightful. I had the county fried steak platter and partner had the southern Mac and cheese bowl. All was 10/10! We can't wait to come back. Oh! And the sweet tea? Amazing!!!

I went here the other night on a date and the server was wonderful. He was very attentive. He gave us time to talk while we were looking through the menu. The food was excellent. I had gotten some fried green tomatoes with some feta cheese. Oh my goodness so good and I also got the Alfredo mac & cheese so decadent. And we also got the shrimp and grits very good. The shrimp was cooked just right would definitely come back here again.

Our party of 9 came in on a Friday night at around 6. We were originally quoted a wait time of an hour but luckily, they were able to seat us within 10 minutes. For the table, we ordered: -Fried Green Tomatoes - this came with six slices, some feta cheese sprinkled on top, and a dipping sauce. They were good but it didn't feel that hot, which is something I would expect from a fried food -Southern Mac (pimento cheese & bacon & topped with cheddar & mozzarella cheese) - this is definitely a good sharing dish. I can't imagine eating a whole thing of this by myself because after a few bites, I was already feeling pretty weighed down. I normally don't love pimento cheese, but it wasn't too overpowering here -Parmesan Brussels Sprouts - I enjoyed these. For some reason, I can never make brussels sprouts at home as good as they do in restaurants. Maybe their secret is just a ton of butter -Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts - I liked these even better since the hot honey gave it a bit of a kick, and it came with bacon bits For my entrée, I had the Shrimp & Grits (lightly spicy shrimp sautéed with bacon & green onion over cheddar cheese grits--served with grilled ciabatta bread). They give you a generous portion of shrimp, which was perfectly cooked, and a heap of bacon. If you need a meal to put you into a food coma, this is it. The grits are cheesy and buttery. It was good but very rich. I was only able to eat half before I had to throw in the towel and get the rest to go. I reheated the leftovers the next day, and it was still pretty good. We were all stuffed but still wanted to try the Chocolate Chess Pie, so we got one slice of that to share. It reminded me a fudge pie. A little too sweet for me. As expected with Southern cooking, the food is pretty heavy. Instead of one person ordering an entrée, I would recommend just ordering a bunch of different things to share, so you get more of a variety. And you're not stuck eating a whole thing of mac and cheese by yourself.

While the service was exceptional, everything else was lackluster. The avocado toast came on a sweet potato biscuit that ate more like a hockey puck. It was dry and as hard as a brick. We couldn't cut through it whatsoever. The chicken fried steak lacked flavor and seasoning. The gravy was just okay that was on top of it. We got a side of tater tots which were delicious, but the cheese grits had a funky taste to them. The over medium egg was decent as well but it's hard to mess up an egg. Overall, it was a less than satisfactory meal and we more than likely won't be back. And $15 for a pothos plant is criminal, just saying.

When looking for a dinner spot, the menu at Relish Craft Kitchen & Bourbon Bar called out to us as it looked excellent and had some really nice sounding options for everyone in the party. However, the experience really missed the mark and what looked to be a really promising menu turned out to be a really disappointing dining experience. We were sat at our table quickly and given menus and our waitress took drink orders right away. However, during the course of our dining experience we had three different servers and it seemed a bit chaotic even though the restaurant wasn't full at the time of dining. The food definitely didn't live up to how good it all sounded on the menu. The pulled pork burrito was drowning in a green salsa and had just a small amount of pork within it but everything tasted like the green salsa. The BLT with fried green tomatoes had two of the smallest fried green tomatoes possible and the bread was saturated with butter and not grilled that well. The panini with salami, mozzarella and basil was cold on the inside the cheese not melted at all. It's a shame because this seemed to have some real potential and maybe it was just an off night but there were just so many hiccups with this visit that it made it a pretty rough night out for dinner.

Walking in, I thought I had stepped back in time by about 45 years. The carpet, the art, it felt like something out of the 1980's. And most of the clientele looked like they were right at home, it was a decidedly more mature crowd, especially at the bar. Our server seemed to be a little shy and nervous. Several times, I couldn't even understand what he was saying. Anyway, we started with the Brussel sprout halves, just a great appetizer. They're tossed with their own seasoning and a little parm. I would have had no trouble taking the whole thing down. The turkey Reuben was a good sandwich, maybe a little more turkey would have been good though. Also it came out when we were still finishing the appetizer, so the timing was definitely off. But the Reuben had some slaw, Swiss cheese, and comeback sauce and with the toasted bread, it was a fine sammich. I got the side salad, really good as well. They did come together on a round metal plate, which I thought I would be more likely to see at a BBQ joint. We were pretty much done at that point so we declined dessert...at first. The waiter asked if it would be separate checks or one. Since it was just past my birthday, my friend offered to treat. Then the waiter informed us that because it was my birthday, we got free mini donuts. And that's about the time the angels started singing, I felt God's urging to indulge. And sure enough out comes a brown paper bag, with the grease stains showing through the bottom. The sugar was at the bottom, the hot donuts had been tossed in. Raspberry sauce and chocolate sauce. Wow. Amazing! Give me those over birthday cake any day of the week. It wasn't my greatest dining experience in Raleigh, but it was certainly a solid one.

We chose this location dine at for dinner as it was close to our hotel. They do have ample outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. You can tell it's a very family friendly/neighborhood spot based upon the individuals who were frequenting the establishment. My husband tried the ribs and they were tender and good, they were average at best. I had the pulled pork burrito that is smothered with Joe's salsa Verde, and filled with black beans and other goodies. It also came with a Mexican coleslaw. The Mexican coleslaw was okay. It kind of lacked flavor. It had a little kick to it, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for.the salsa Verde did not sit well with my stomach the next day. Overall, the dish was huge from a portion perspective. Overall, the food was okay. there were a lot of large parties dining that night and . It was a little challenging to hear each other speak

Scratch kitchen, casual dining in a comfortable space. These people care about the food and the customer experience. Seems like there is something on the menu for everyone. Sandwiches, burgers, entrees, entree-salads, and a seasonal feature menu. Known for Mac and cheese and southern-style comfort foods. Dining here felt so comfortable. Like I was at my favorite aunt's house. And she could cook everything you wanted. The hardest part was deciding what to get. Portions are big, but not ridiculous. I started with pimento cheese. And the server and kitchen were obliging to swap in celery sticks to address a dietary preference. Will definitely re-order that on my next (every) visit. Tried the pickle chips. I loved the jalapeño ranch. The pickle chips were super thin and crispy - very unique breading. Good to feed a crowd. The shrimp burger is not a patty, but super delish individual shrimp on a bun. They were perfectly fried, if a bit awkward to eat on a bun. For the side, I opted for the fried green tomatoes, but there are many other side choices (18 options to choose from). My colleague and meal partner enjoyed the Santa Fe chicken from the feature menu (no bun) and steak fries. To wrap up the meal, we were stuffed, but I am no quitter! I I opted for 3 take-away desserts: donuts, turtle cheesecake (feature menu), and banana pudding. All were good or great (fresh donuts with raspberry and warm chocolate sauce). On my way out, we enjoyed shopping up front from bitters, jams, and more. Check out the post cards near the door. Next time in town I will stop again for dinner and donuts. And I sure hope they sell the raspberry sauce they serve with the donuts.

Food was OK. I had the Bacon Jam Burger, and it was HUGE. Pretty tasty, but the half pound size is a bit intimidating. Didn't care for the cinnamon seasoning on the sweet potato fries, but they were well cooked and next time I will ask to have them unseasoned. My server was pleasant, but failed to check on me after bringing my food. I had to flag down another server to get some catsup, and then had to ask the hostess for My check as she was passing by. She was very accommodating, offering a takeout box for my leftovers, and processing my bill quickly. But my server remained AWOL literally until I was standing up to leave. Ambiance is bustling, Relish is obviously a local favorite judging by the amount of large groups and families. I will come back, but as a solo diner I think I will eat at the bar next time.

We wanted good old southern cooking. We went to Relish craft Kitchen strictly based on the reviews. The reviews are glowing or average. That was our experience was the same. It's located in a sort of strip mall. The place is nice inside with a good amount of tables inside and out. They do have a bar if that's what you are looking for. We thought the hostess was very nice. A girl took a my order, never to be seen again. I guess she was replaced by a nice young man who was very pleasant. It was clear the food runner was not in a good mood as our food was dropped on our table. We ordered two fried green tomatoes apps, cobb salad, and the Italian grill cheese. The fried green tomatoes were very tasty! Crunchy batter and the tomato's were still firm. I enjoyed their dipping sauce! The salad was very large and had two whole egg sliced. I liked the real bacon chunks and the blue cheese crumble. The avocado was very soft. The blue cheese dressing was bland. It was ok. The sandwich was ok too. Nothing really wrong but just ok. Three and a half stars. I will come back to give it another try

I had the Mexican Mac and cheese skillet which was amazing and very filling. I was a little jealous of my dad's bbq burrito that he had because it was so good just from the bite he let me try. The drinks are pretty standard and the decor is pretty cool too. I like the little shop they have in the front with different products for you to purchase! Service was okay, was a little slow but she was nice!

The Kitchen Table was great! The staff, special shoutout to Austin, was so friendly and welcoming from the time we stepped in the door until we left. They have a fantastic selection of games for you to choose from and play while visiting (some are free, and some require that you pay one small $5 fee to enjoy). The Apple Butter Bourbon BBQ wings are a must try! I was tempted to try them based on the combination of flavors and I'm so glad I did. They're the perfect size, and the sauce they're tossed in is super savory, served with your choice of ranch or bleu cheese. The toast and cast iron skillet baked cheese appetizer was brought out fresh, dig in while it's hot! There is free ample parking, the vibe and dress is casual.

Came in here for a lunch meeting with some coworkers had a beautiful table and the outdoor seating area. It was very comfortable. The noise level was more than sufficient to be able to carry on conversations. The owner and manager stop by the table greeted us, thanked us for our business. We also had a great meal each person that ordered food said they were very happy with what they received, I had their shrimp burger and it came with two sauce options and I also had a side of grits cause I didn't want to eat fried food, but the french fries that came on other plates looked really well prepared. We also tried their bacon relish, and their cheese spread that comes with these fresh baked pita bread corners our server did an outstanding job, making sure that our drinks were always full, was friendly and very engaged with us as a group overall is an excellent experience with excellent quality food. Their menu is very diverse and they have lots of offerings for vegetarians for people that are eating just seafood Lots of choices.

Service was outstanding. Food tasted great. Tons of good options. I had the Cheeseburger with bacon jelly--would get again. Bourbon menu was one of the absolute bests I've ever seen. I posted below their lottery bourbon menus. The actually menus was 3 or 4 pages long. Overall, place has a great relaxing atmosphere. 10/10 would come back here again.

When I first came to this place I thought I ate here before. I was wrong I ate at their kitchen bar. Different building, menu. I had to get myself 2 dishes. I got the breakfast menu item and Brussel sprout Mac n cheese. My friend preferred the fried green tomatoes - Yum! The service was wonderful. One of my friends ordered something and I believe she did not like it. They let her return it and order another dish. Very cute store. Small "store" in the front. Merchandise you can purchase. I would recommend you use the waitlist online. I live about 30-40 mins away. There was an hour long wait (weekend) when I decided I wanted to go. By the time I got ready and headed that way it was my party's turn to be seated. It was a very accurate estimated time.

Great down home feel and excellent servers. Our guy was the BEST can't remember his name but he owned the place, I wanna say Tony, the tallest guy and so upbeat and on top of our needs. It was my birthday so I had a homemade sangria, they thought I ordered 2 so that one was free. Loved the Fried Black eye Peas with the sauce that was through the roof, could've had 2 of those, also Fried green tomatoes YUMMY. I had the chicken fried steak, very tasty the chicken was a little tough. (Ate it all) Banana pudding for dessert was fantastic. Hot doughnut holes with hot chocolate sauce, over the top. I was visiting from New York and my daughters pick RELISH for my birthday good job by them. Will do it again next time.

Okay but not incredible. Service was great and it was nice eating outside. Also a fantastic menu, but the dishes didn't live up to how good they sounded. Started with fried pickles, a huge portion and the breading was just right, unfortunately were pretty tasteless and the jalapeño ranch dipping sauce nothing special. Had the grilled cheese with bacon and apple, again it was good but not great. As much as I like butter, it was a little greasy and the flavors just did not pop. Nothing to complain about but nothing I'd rush back for.

I went here on a rainy day for brunch with a large group. There was almost no one there, so we didn't have to wait long despite having a lot of people. I got the shrimp and grits which were delicious. Lots of bacon and I liked how it came with some bread. A lot of places put a sauce on, which I don't like. This was perfect, and I had leftovers! Our server was great as well. One friend only had apple pay on his phone, which they do accept. I would definitely come again.

I stand by my review from 5 years ago. If you didn't listen the first time, go here now!! This place has remained absolutely delicious. You have to try their pickle chips and according to my husband, they have the best chicken fried steak in Raleigh. He's very selective with that kind of praise, so listen closely and try it out. Their crab cake is also so randomly amazing when I had middle of the road expectations for getting a crab cake at a place like this, that I have to recommend it! Ambiance remains wildly delightful for being inside a strip mall. You would never know what kind of funky space it is from the outside. Parking is easy and plentiful. Zero reasons to not go here this week!

Worst service! It was something out of Seinfield episode. This heavy set waitress slammed drinks down so they spilled on the table. When asked about sides she yelled at us to check our menu. Whew that was a rough lunch

Mexican Grilled Shrimp Salad grilled shrimp on a bed of mixed greens, pico, 50/50 cheese, roasted corn, and avocado with jalapeno ranch & tortilla chips on the side I had this dish and loved it! Wait staff is super friendly and a very lively atmosphere. Some merchandise at front of store from local artists and food products available for purchase. Easy parking and free!!!

Everything was absolutely perfect. Food was delicious and the store had some great local finds. Really enjoyed the Stroganoff Burger, yum! More than anything they went above and beyond when I found I was missing a receipt for my expenses. I know it was a very manual process to retrieve but the Manager did it with no complaints. If I find myself back in Raleigh I will defiantly come for a 2nd visit. Thank you, Relish Team!

Very cute place. The food was hit or miss. Some items were good. Some not great. We had five people, and the waiter was very sweet, but very overwhelmed. Forgot a lot of things. Had to wait about 20 minutes for the check. I love the concept and I feel like it could be wonderful.

Took my boyfriend here as a surprise celebration because they have bourbon & Mac and cheese - all his favorite things. This place is almost hidden in a strip mall and up in north Raleigh, but definitely worth the trip from downtown for us. The service was incredibly friendly - they have a plethora of bourbons to choose from for various drinks and amazing food!!! The fried pickles were thin and crispy - salty and delicious. I had the blackened salmon and it was so delicious and on the lighter side. My boyfriend had the Alfredo Mac and loved every bite. As we were leaving he said "we should become regulars here." The waiter did say that lunch during the week can get pretty packed. We went on a Wednesday night and we were seated right away. Can't wait to go back!

OMG! I'm so full! Thanks to Yelp and the reviews on the pimento cheese fritters. I couldn't pass them up and then when my main meal of shrimp and grits came I was kind of full. Well, that and the sweet tea. Well, I had a few forks of the shrimp and grits which were plentiful of shrimp and very tasty. I ended up taking home 4 of the 7 fritters and most of the shrimp and grits. I'm too full. The service was great and I'll definitely back to check out some other items on the menu.

We got the Shrimp Burger and Fried Fish Tacos. The Shrimp Burger is $16.50 and comes with a side. It isn't what you would expect - it's fried shrimp on a bun (to put it simply). The shrimp was all over the to-go container when we picked it up. It was easy to assemble but this is a messy sandwich. The Fish Tacos come either fried or grilled. We got the fried option for $15.00, and it also comes with a side. The fish tacos were recommended to eat like a salad per their website. The fish had a "fishy" taste - more than expected for cod. I say this since cod is usually milder. The homemade chips were excellent! The whole order was correct - all the way down to sauces on the side, etc. The food was pretty tasty and the temperature was still hot when we ate at home. Portion sizes are generous and you do feel you get what you paid for. Overall, we will be back and look forward to dining here in the future!

Great menu! Nice take on Southern food without trying too hard to be fancy or weird. Good service, and the server helped with recommendations. Medium portions but food is heavy so still very filling. Had some outdoor seating, but the indoor ambiance was really nice. Fits for family, friends or work. My favorite local southern restaurant. Will share with my friends and family for sure!

Located in a strip mall on Creedmore just before Crabtree Mall. First timer to this establishment. The menu is very interesting as lots of different and unique dishes. They have outdoor and indoor seating, a big bar and they have several unique items for sale. We met here for lunch and had a 20 min wait. Once seated we were served right away. We decided to start with the fried Brussels sprouts to share. Yummy goodness and not oily at all. I opted for the 2 scoop salad. You get a choice of several different items, I chose tuna fish and pimento cheese. This comes with tortilla chips or crackers. It was good but with salad being in the name, it could've used more lettuce and tomato. I would opt for something other than the cheese as it was just too much cheesy for me. I tried the kids Mac n cheese and it was very good. I will definitely come back as there's a lot more options on their creative menu.

This was our second visit here and it's been on point both times. The Mac n cheese skillets are great. I had the fall test kitchen Brussels Mac n cheese. While it was really good, I'd get the chicken Alfredo if I could do over. The Brussels had a nice burnt crispiness and flavor to them. And of course the Mac and cheese itself was awesome. I saw some cool bourbon selections, but just had a local ipa on this visit. Their did have their own barrel pick Elijah Craig. Great service and a fun space

If you're looking for a hearty affordable meal, Relish is the perfect restaurant. This place really reminds me of Cracker Barrel with the old school southern charm theme and plenty of products and memorabilia to purchase at the front of the restaurant. While getting together with a coworker for brunch, she suggested Relish. I love southern food so the menu really attracted me. We both decided on the 'Mater Biscuit which features sweet potato biscuits topped with fried green tomatoes, crispy bacon, fried eggs and gravy. We decided on creamy cheese grits as our side. The brunch menu is extremely affordable at under $15 per menu item. Service was excellent and the wait time was perfect. I will definitely return for the lunch and dinner menu items.
