My burger was great and the service was really good. I didn't give it 5 stars due to the beers! I had 2 and both had flaws that a brewer like me would notice. Metallic flavor in the Belgian Strong Ale for example. Too bad because it's a cool place. More

It was ok. Had the Philly cheese sandwich. It was not much inside the maybe 6 inch roll. Fries were gross. Menu reads fresh cut, they are not. I asked the waitress and she confirmed frozen. Won't go back.... More

This is a great place! The burgers are excellent, and the wings may very well be Raleigh’s best. Great assortment of beers, nice decor - plenty of televisions, and Chris behind the bar is as good as they get. Always a fun time at Crabtree! More
