Great local bar

by HarryNut

Easily the best burger around! Also good is the humus appetizer and buffalo chicken sandwich. Great beer specials. It's smoky, but January will be here soon. Trivia is always fun on Wednesdays. Highly recommend this bar.

Amazing burgers - new owners made great improvements

by lilykilt

Been going regularly, weekend afternoon staff are excellent. Burgers are enormous and tasty. Best place in Cary for a veggie burger with a ceaser side for our vegetarian teen. Would love to see fresh battered fish on the menu but it's best fish n chips on offer in town. Amazing value as I can feed a lot of us for 2/3s the cost and get big tasty portions.

• Pros: best value - excellent prices
• Cons: need a door between bar & non-smoking

Great atmosphere - horrible service

by rachellounc

I went there for dinner the other night and the bartender ignored me for about 5 mins. when I tried to order my drink. Then after waiting about 10 mins. for my soup, (which I thought he had forgotten about) he said "Oh - let me check. They might have left it in the microwave. This was on a Monday night, so it wasn't even crowded.

I'll put my money into another bar, thank you. I refuse to be treated poorly when spending my money on food fare and tip.

• Pros: good atmosphere
• Cons: bad service

Awesome burgers!

by EvieIcc

The burgers at this place are amazing and affordable. I tried Abbey Road last week for the first time and was extrememly impressed with the kindness of the staff and the great food, and best of all it was affordable. We had two burgers and a couple beers, and the bill was only 25.00, this would have easily cost close to 40.00 at Red Robin and the quality of the food at Abbey road is much better. Everything is fresh, the burgers are big and juicy, and fresh. Ranch dressing is to die for. Portions are huge so bring your appetite or prepare for left overs. I was so impressed last weekend, we decided to go again this weekend but the experience wasn't as good. The food was still great but this little place doesn't have the man power for large crowds. I recommend and early or late meal.

• Pros: Great food, good price
• Cons: Don't have the man power for busy hours

Best burgers in Triangle

by jasondburke

I frequent Abbey Road about 3 times a month and the burgers are amazing. What makes them better than others? - First of all they are made fresh and are not unthawed patties like most other places. Secondly when you ask for a burger medium - you get it medium!!! What a novel concept. Third, the lettuce, tomatoes and pickles used for toppings are fresh and make the burger much more flavorful. I recommend the Ringo with bacon for a burger. If your not in the mood for a burger than the ribeye steak sandwich is excellent. The beer is inexpensive relative to other places that I've been, they have a good beer selection and they actually have Labatt Blue on tap!!!!! Seating can be very tough to get especially on Fridays during dinner hours and the waiting area is very small so expect to stand if you don't get seating right away. I believe smoking is only allowed in the bar area as well. This is a great little authentic hometown bar/restaurant that can only be found here in the Triangle... its not found in 800 different other locations in the US. You won't find shrimp poppers, pizza shooters or extreme fajitas but what you will find is a great meal for a great price.

• Pros: Awesome burgers, good beer selection
• Cons: small waiting area

Terrible Service

by secretdiner

After all the positive postings it was a very disappointing experience. Not family oriented, sevice in the Bar area is non-existant. I had the worst wings I've ever had.

• Pros: It wasn't crowded - go figure.
• Cons: Service is awful

Juicy Burgers, lovely service, and Amazing Atmosphere

by aneshopper

There are not alot of places that you can get a combo of such wonder food and service. I was blown away when I took the first bite into my burger, it was so juicy, plump, and prepared wonderfully. It is an assemble-your-self burger, ya know, so all the stuff is on the side. WOW.. Just amazing. The service was great also, when they messed up on my side order, they prompting retrieved me the correct one and apologized for the inconviences. I actually got to talk with the staff, and it gave the place a more homely atmosphere. It wasn't another resturant where I was just a customer, I was some one of intersts here. And how can you not like the atmosphere. They have the Beatles and other amazing album covers, magazine cut outs, and pictures. It's comforting to know that the music legends of the past won't die out because of such a place like this.

• Pros: Service, Food, Ambience is Nice
• Cons: A little smokey when it is really busy
