the peculiar rabbit

we love it here! we'll be back for sure! excellent food and service. greatbeerselection

the peculiar rabbit offers a unique menu that incorporates internationally infused recipes of pork, seafood and duck; surprisingly they offer no dish of the rabbit persuasion. but, they do offer healthy portions of deliciousness! at the peculiar rabbit, an appetizer could easily satisfy as a full meal with dishes such as their zesty carolina poutine, a play on the traditional canadian dish, featuring braises short ribs, chopped bacon, and crispy onions smothered inbeercheese and peanut-butter barbecue drizzle placed atop of a heap of golden fries.   read more of the cuisine queens' review at  cuisinequeensnc.com

stopped by for a "working" lunch with some colleagues on a saturday. sat outside and it was quite nice out there. got there early and ordered abeerat the bar. was happy the price of thebeer(5.50) was not outrageous for a craft beer. bartender didnt seem very knowledgeable about beer.  the wicked weed was a gose, and wicked weed makes a couple different ones. i asked which one and she didnt know. she just told me she "didnt like it much". food was not bad, but was nothing amazing either. it was the brunch menu so i ordered biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs. i was asked if i wanted grits or home fries, i ordered grits...and got home fries. not a big deal, a fried potato is nice too. as a table we ordered the waffle pops. i would not have ordered this on my own. this is exactly the kind of kitsch-y crap i hate at restaurants trying to hard to be "hip". just give me awesome food. dont try to jazz it up. waffle pops were average. they would be below average, but the sriracha (more "trendy" stuff) syrup saved it to an average dish. our waitress was nice, but was a bit slow. slow to bring food, slow to check on us, never asked if i wanted another beer. i actually would have ordered one, but because i wasnt asked, i just decided to keep my bill cheaper and drink water. overall, a pretty average experience. they gave us some coupons at the end. because my wife didnt get to join, we may come back and try again.

good gastropub!. good food. good appetizer menu. goodbeermenu. offers everything a gastropub should.

my wife and i walked through the door valentines day weekend and observed how extremely busy this place was and noticed they had an upstairs, so we grabbed a table there. we found out very quickly that the table was reserved. however, the server quickly reacted by speaking with the hostess and freeing the table for us, which he definitely didn't have to do. i'm not going to lie, we threw him a number of curveballs and ultimately had several guests join us. ultimately, he responded and did a great job of taking care of our tables. the service and food exceeded our expectations and i'm happy to say we would return. nice job. great place. we are looking forward to our next visit.

pretty damn good lunch. came here with the mrs. on a cold friday afternoon. fairly simple decor and vibe, nothing interesting per se. the lunch menu covered a lout of ground. nice take on some old classics, devils on horseback, chix and dumplings, burgers. thebeerselection was okay, probably the only weak spot of this place. while a fair selection to choose from, it has the same 15-20 beers every pub carries. not a lot of consideration of food matching or global variety. still found stuff i liked.

we had the lamb burger, poutine, and the chix and dumplings. their take on the lamb was in a folded flatbread as the bun, unique, with your standard "greek" condiments and cheese. nicely cooked, tasty, and good portioned. the outine wasn't really poutine, but it was rather good. very nice depth in the oxtail gravy. this beast was really a meal on its own. the chicken and dumplings was the standout. hearty and full of flavor.

service was great, our guy was attentive and very knowledgeable. i really want to try their dinner menu. do try this new joint, i'll assume they have a live bar scene at night. great little addition to one of the best food areas in the city.

we went to dinner here on a saturday night....all 4 of us loved it! my friend and i went upstairs to check it out while we waited for our table and were greeted by a super friendly server who noticed we were cluelessly looking around ;). she took us and showed us a really cool side room with pool tables and tvs where you can hang out, then took us up to the rooftop patio. wow!!! a great space with tables, kerosene heaters, white lights...a really cool atmosphere. and best if all an amazing view of the city! we ate inside because hey were out of kerosene. the food was great including their yummy pretzel appetizer withbeercheese dipping sauce. all our entrees were incredible...really unique menu. my husband is a huge water and he lived his food, but was still a bit hungry but he's not the norm! our waitress was very nice and attentive! overall the staff was some if the friendliest u've encountered. we will definitely return...want to sit on the rooftop next time!

f you are looking for jackalope jacks its time to graduate from college. this is a sophisticsted bar menu that is executed to perfection. no wing night at this place. you feel like your in abeercommercial that's how perfect the atmosphere is. the city makes the perfect backdrop which make this a place a great first date spot but also perfect for special occasions. if i have to offer advice i would say split a bunch of bar snacks everyone i have had has been awesome. for dinner i have had the scallops and pork belly and both were great. you will not be disappointed i can't wait to try the rest of the menu
