Sawmill Tap Room

UPDATE: THIS RESTAURANT IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED ACCORDING TO SIGN POSTED ON DOOR. I'm so bummed. I just moved to Raleigh and this restaurant is right around the corner. I had the beef tips with gravy over rice and it was the perfect comfort food that I was craving- yummy. The hand breaded chicken tenders and homemade chips were also delicious. Healthy portions, fair prices, and super friendly staff. I will definitely be back.

My sandwich was good and the seating was very comfortable and roomy. Our waiter was very attentive. Hate to see the restaurant closing - maybe an updated menu with some entrees that the younger crowd likes, as well as some decorative updating, could reverse the decision to close. There is really nice outdoor seating which is also a plus.

I'll preface this with I only go to the bar side and I've never really been to the restaurant side. But from that perspective this place is excellent. Reasonable prices, great bartenders/servers and good food. It is A-la-carte so keep that in mind if you go. The patio is awesome during good/warm weather. Great place to watch a game and they have most of the sports packages (NHL,NFL for sure)

Comfortable seating, friendly staff, and good food. The menu has been updated in recent months and now takes an "a la carte" approach -- this results in entrees having a lower price than might be seen at similar establishments, but balances out when factoring in the added cost of sides. The food is well prepared and tasty -- typical American Bar Fare, including sandwiches and burgers. A wide variety of no calorie / low calorie drinks are available, as a pleasant alternative to "only Diet Coke" -- and the sweet potato tater tots are a unique and tasty side.

The food was great and the service was great as well! Very competitive prices for the area, and the food quality for pub style food is really great. All places are short staffed now, it's up to us as patrons to be patient and perhaps try and come out at a time where the restaurants aren't so busy if we expect to be promptly taken care of. We can all do better to support our local restaurants, and patience is free. Thank you, Becky!
