Reviews for Players' Retreat in Raleigh, NC
I love this place. Sit outside and enjoy the eats. Love the chicken gus sandwich. And must get the onion rings...they are the... best anywhere! Service is mostly great and I love their unsweetened tea. Enjoy! Read more
Be warned everyone in your party has to be COVID vaccinated (even newborn babies apparently despite the minimum age being 6... months to even get vaccinated) to be allowed to eat inside. Since our one month old isn't COVID vaccinated we had the choice toeat outside with the smokers (yes the smoking and non smoking are in two different sections but that nasty smell carriedeverywhere) or in an open air room. We were hungry and didn't want to lug around the baby to try to find somewhere else to eatso we opted to just do the open air room. It was a little muggy in there but at least we couldn't smell the smoke. But becausewe were the only ones in this room not connected to the main building the service was very sporadic and it was very hard to getdrink refills or ask for the check or a to go box. The food was okay. I got the Kimchi burger that was very messy but verytasty. I also got onion rings that were decent but several of them had uncooked flour in the middle. My husband said his burgerwas kind of bland. The macaroni was probably the best part, it was oozing cheese. I think overall though from the initialreception, to the food, service, and price it wasn't the best experience and probably not a place we will return to. Read more
PR is a long time favorite. Historical! They accommodated our group of 14 old friends. Open air room that was perfect. Food... was excellent with lots of build your own choices. Read more
Let me tell you about a hidden gem in Raleigh! Great sports bar that actually has good service. Came for the national... championship game and got service right away and my food cake out quick and hot, even though the place was packed. Next, thefood. Whatever you do, get the ribs! NC style with vinegar and they are delicious! My server recommended the veggies and theydidn't disappoint either. This place is legit all around. Read more
Food was good, service was great, and the food came out fast! Great place to watch sports with lots of big TV's. We had the... cheese fries as an appetizer with Ranch:) The bbq sandwich was delicious and tasted like mama made it! My husband had the friedshrimp and ate it so fast I didn't even get to try it! I guess we will be back:) Read more
*Dog friendly restaurant and man were there friendly dogs there* On vacation and was looking for a good burger. This was... definitely the move. Have you ever seen Ratatouille the movie, when he bites into the food and there?s fireworks and music as hesavors the flavors - yea that?s what this was like. The burger buns are toasted which make it so much better. The onion ringsare huge and the marinara sauce that comes with the mozzarella sticks is delicious. They have daily specials. Parking, I didn?tsee a lot, but there?s cheap street parking along the street. Great service, great food! Highly recommend (outdoor seating) butit might be cold for that depending on time of year.

Good food, good drafts, good sports, and homey comfort feels. This was my first time here and we came here to have dinner. The... service was satisfying and very appreciated. She had good recommendations, she was helpful with the menu, and the size portionsof the dish. I will definitely return and provide more business in the future. Read more
Excellent food and drinks, cozy atmosphere, and wonderful service by attentive staff. During my most recent visit yesterday, I... was pleased to see that PR is still enforcing COVID vaccinations for patrons -- love the balance of a great venue to unwind withan emphasis on public health. My companions and I enjoyed a few drinks, sandwiches, and fries -- all of which were marvelouslyprepared. In particular, the cheese fries appetizer is a delicious compilation of cheese, bacon, and potato goodness in a verylarge portion that the three of us were unable to entirely finish on our own. I'll be back, for sure. Good up the good work,team! Read more
