Players' Retreat

Attentive service. Love the Deadly Sin blackberry cider. The crack dip was great... I mean, the sausage dip was great. Definitely recommend Mimi's sausage dip.

Onion rings are out of this world good. The burger was excellent. I went with my service dog and the staff went above and beyond what anyone could expect in terms of seating us and making sure he was comfortable too. Really enjoyed our time and the food.

This is a really good place for food with friends. Lots of good options at reasonable prices. They tend to give you way more than you can eat. The food is fairly standard bar food, nothing amazing but all pretty good. Parking is usually rather difficult since there is just one small parking lot that the restaurant shares with other businesses. Overall, pretty good food that's definitely worth a try if you are around campus.

The macaroni salad was better than my own. Fresh veggies were crunchy so it was homemade that day. Hamburger was tremendous. The 4 oz was a big hamburger served on a yummy toasted bun that actually fit the hamburger. We sat outside with are dog. They even provide bowls and fresh water for dogs. The prices were good. Inside a bit dark but outside was nice. Lots of tables with umbrellas. I don't rate 5 stars often but I would absolutely recommend this place.

PHENOMENAL service and the food is exactly what you order and crave. Atmosphere is friendly and light. There’s a clear reason this is an In Town favorite. Plenty of brews on tap, and our server Grace was well educated on what beers are on tap and to go for. You have to stop by if you want a real taste of home town Raleigh. 10/10.
