Best Modern British Restaurant Cary Near Me

Andy G: I've been a Lucky 32 customer since the 1990s. My date & I decided to dine at L32 in Cary & afterwards watch the July 4th fireworks. Everything, & I mean everything, at the Cary Lucky 32 was either bad or mediocre. I began with the Strawberry Mule with double vodka. It was served in a small 5-oz rocks glass with a lot of ice ($17.50).Next, Fried Green Tomatoes, heavily battered, deep fried, & served with a clashing sweet sauce. Neither of us could taste the deeply-hidden green tomato slices. Neither my date nor I liked it, but ate some of it because we were hungry.We were seated beside a very noisy 6-top; everyone at the table laughed & talked loudly enough to be heard throughout the place. We asked & were moved about 30' away, still wasn't far enough but we lived with it.Entrees: I got the crab cakes ($29) with green beans & grits. The crab cakes & beans were served stone cold, no detectable warmth. My date got the black bean cakes, barely warm & were flavorless compared to what I'd previously had over the years. I sent the crab cakes back, didn't re-order because my date & I would've been dining separately, and by that time, I was disgusted & ready for our L32 experience to end.A manager came out & inquired of the problem. I explained, so she took the crab cakes off the bill and offered a comp dessert (Mix Berry Rhubarb Crumble) to go.When I got home, I found the comp dessert was uncooked & disassembled in 3 different containers: berry compote, crumble mixture, and melted ice cream.I put myself through college waiting tables at 3 high-end restaurants. Every restaurant trained that it's ALWAYS a waiter's responsibility to pick up the cooked food immediately & deliver it still hot--a big fail. I left ~ an undeserved 17% tip to the very sweet waitress. I will never dine there again. It's really gone downhill over the years, in every way.I do not recommend this restaurant. High prices / low quality & quantity.

Cedita Graves: Great ambience and service - however the food was just meh and served too quickly, as if it was prepackaged - fried chicken was not pan fried and had too much crust - the string beans were tastelessFood: 3/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Brooke Rawls: It was great and accommodating for my mil 80th bday. We used to go here about every other week for about 10yrs. Haven't been back since COVID-19 the menu is smaller and the fried chicken had no flavor but they comped it for us.Food: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Cornmeal Crusted Catfish, Fried Green Tomatoes …More

Simeon Snow: Probably the best restaurant we've been to all year and we've been to a lot so far. Service was impeccable from the moment we walked in. Food was incredibly diverse and fresh. Lots of different flavor pallets to choose from. The cornbread and biscuits were full, flavorful, and fluffy. My breakfast plate (Southern Delight) was great temperature, flavor, seasoning, and texture. Ambiance was semi formal yet incredibly comfortable. Music volume was just right for giving privacy without impeding on conversation (I don't know why this balance is so hard for places these days). Parm truffle fries were amazing. My spouse loved their avocado toast. Great experience all around.

Kevin Seitz: Haven't been back to Lucky32 in a few years and decided to go for our anniversary. The waiter we started with just disappeared, and then the food came out. The chicken wasn't even cooked all the way through. I showed the second waiter who came by and so he took it back and the manager brought back the new one. She asked, is this one done to your liking and wanted me to cut it and take a bite. I wanted to say, yes this one is cooked. No sorry or apology or anything. She just disappeared like the waiter. The second waiter never came back until I stopped him. Bummed that it changed or maybe the service changed. Fried green zucchini was amazing. The only consistent thing.

John Hall: Food was outstanding.

Cathy Martin: I am disappointed since food is always good. On Sunday, I ordered the black bean cakes w side salad and Arnold palmer tea. The black bean cakes and green beans were overcooked. Our lovely waitress did put on order ticket that I did not want the sides it comes with (grits, corn, and sour cream), however the cook staff ignored that. The 6 Oz glass of ice w tea for $3 is ridiculous. Eating out has become overpriced. Sorry to say Lucky 32 has been a staple in Cary but I won't be going anymore.

Gwendela “Gwen” McCorkle: What happened to the hours you used to be open. You are literally only open 5 to 8:30 on most days? How do you make enough to even stay open?

Troy Mease: Fabulous! Marti and Kate were so personable, and their food recommendations were out of this world!I found this restaurant using Yelp and I was looking for biscuits and gravy. I've never had such rich delicious gravy on biscuits!Melody got the two eggs order, while I got chicken and the egg sandwich. Somehow Kate knew to bring me Cholula hot sauce! Took my sandwich to the next level!I had to try the steak and eggs. Very impressive braised short rib with a yellow corn sprinkling over perfectly done crepes. I had to try the cubed potatoes and onions as well! I'm so glad I did.'m hungy!Marti and Kate provided great recommendations and conversation!Chicken and the egg would not have been complete without the Cholula hot sauce.Steak and two eggs was scrumptious — Short rib on a crepe with cut corn sprinkled atop, served with grilled, cubed potatoes and onions!Melody had the two eggs and loved it!I have to come back to the pièce de résistance—Their own biscuits and gravy!!!! I've never had such a rich, luxurious gravy!This restaurant is well worth the trip!

Barbara-Jo Thompson: Big shout out to Randi for accommodating our party of 7 at the last minute. We were waiting at a different nearby restaurant for over 30 minutes. I rang to see if they could get us in straightaway. Randi stated the dining room was full. So I began my search to find somewhere to eat.Moments later Randi rang back to explain they now had a table and they were setting it for our party of seven and they were looking forward to us dining with them.It was a great experience and I very much appreciate the extra effort.

Keith Roberts: Randy… the hostess with the mostest who has fabulous taste in music! Couldn’t have beenmore welcoming to us. Food was beyond amazing… which was recommended to us by our server Kaitlyn.

Chelsea S.: I used to come here all the time when it was called The Veranda. I do really like the new dining room atmosphere better after the remodel, but they got rid of my favorite brunch dish! I used to come here solely for the Creme Brulee French toast, but now they just have this "French toast brick", and it's just not the same and costs way more. I understand inflation and costs are rising everywhere, but don't fix something that wasn't broken. I don't understand how even using the word "brick" to describe French Toast is supposed to be an improvement. Any additions like bacon or eggs costs extra, which is the same as in the past, but now it's just more reason not to come with the price increases and menu changes. I was pretty disappointed and won't be returning anytime soon.

Larry Haddix: Attended a preset menu and bourbon tasting. The food blew me away. Some of the best and most original dishes in Raleigh.Parking: During the park construction, close parking is a challenge.

Julie A.: So underwhelmed by this meal and extremely surprised by the high reviews. The quail was dry and flavorless, egg rolls were chewy and bland, tuna just wasn’t good, the cornbread salad was just meh.Go elsewhere - ambiance can’t save you when the food is this bland.

Shinya A: We went here for a dinner date night since they had a good deal for restaurant week. We ordered the salad, onion soup, pork chop, and seared ahi tuna. The salad was delicious and the soup was very good. The pork chop was cooked and flavored well and it came with a risotto and kale. The ahi tuna was decent but it did have a fishy after taste which I thought shouldn't be there. But still it was good. The ahi tuna came with a white bean like side. Dessert was really unique and tasted great. It was cheese cake made into three walnut size balls that was accompanied by whipped cream, a caramelized banana, strawberries and blue berries. We sat outside and it was a very pleasant and nice dinner.

Karen Gonzalez: Mindful it is a bit more on the pricer side, however it gives dress up brunch vibes or nice fancy dinner. This location is going to be great when the downtown Cary park opensVegetarian options: I saw some really nice options for those that don't eat meat, meanie seems to change seasonallyDietary restrictions: They have great options for those that are gluten free

Jesse Willson: The waitstaff and atmosphere was amazing and the appetizer was decent, but our main course was bland undercooked. We got the lamb and tofu with the lamb being undercooked halfway through and the flan and potatoes having no seasoning. The tofu was poorly prepared with no seasoning and it was over cooked and ended up chewy. It was also paired with baked beans, zucchini, and a sweet ketchup sauce(?) which I decided to try and instantly regretted.Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian appetizers, but only one vegetarian entree and the rest was saladsParking: Parking is limited with street parking across from restaurant

Janie McInnis: Food was not the best for the price point. Ribeye was not cooked correctly, sweet potato waffles were great. However the regular fries did not seem fresh. Kids chicken nuggets/fingers had absolutely no flavor to them.service was ok. Dessert was a hit. Not sure if was it because it was a slower Sunday afternoon or what but not what I had hoped for an outing with my family.

Tenisha Mitchell: The restaurant was hot and stuffy. Everyone in my party was sweating. Even the 5-month-old baby was hot and fussing.The initial server had a warm personality. After we moved tables, the new server was visibly agitated and seemed bothered to serve us.Both the fried macaroni and garlic mashed potatoes were good. The salmon was not seasoned. The bread pudding was horrible.I wouldn't return nor recommend.

It came out over steamed and under seasoned.

God of poop: Had the burger and fries. The burger was so dry, you could squeeze it and no juice would come out. Very sad 😔. Buns were regular buns nothing special, not grilled or prepared in any way, soft buns. Fries came out crisped to perfection, but had no salt on it. I know table salt is at the table but come on, every restaraunt puts at least a LITTLE salt on their fries. Ran out of water and sweet tea a long time ago and our server is nowhere to be found 😔😔😔. I took a picture with my bro squeezing the burger and ong I see barely any juice.

Jason Stamps: Great appetizers. Great service. A bit expensive for what it is, and the burgers really need seasoning. The toppings appear to be there to cover that lack of flavor.

Justin Anzaldua: The atmosphere was nice, so I thought it was going to be a decent dinner at worst, but overall it was very poor. I had the Ahi Tuna dish with asparagus and some kind of pickled vegetable side. The vegetable side had a distinctly off flavor about it that was well beyond fermented almost to the point of being spoiled. The asparagus was grilled... just exactly that. No seasoning, or flavor other than dried out, grilled asparagus (incredibly bland). The tuna wasn't terrible, but again, it lacked any seasoning and came across as a very bland dish overall. Everything was dunked in the sauce that was served with this dish. Very disappointed given the other reviews.

Frank Aspen: Food extremely bad, old fried, dried out burger. Salmon, not fresh and soaked on oil. Wait forever for service with hardly anyone here. This was second time trying out, and will now be the lastFood: 1/5|Service: 2/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More
