We were disappointed - had been before with a better experience. The food was entirely mediocre (mine wasn’t made as listed on the menu and didn’t taste good on top of that), and our server was absent a lot. We sat on the patio on a really nice night, which was enjoyable, but something about the acoustics made it virtually impossible to hold a conversation - it was SO loud and not even full. We’ll be taking this one off our list.

We came here because I read it was dog friendly. We sat on the patio which was strewn with litter along the perimeter. The service was fine. The beer was very good. The food- magi tacos and a southwestern salad - was mediocre at best. The salad was at least a few days old with the red peppers a bit slimy. The Mahi mahi tacos had good toppings but the fish was over cooked that did not taste fresh. The sweet potato fries had a very strange taste- I think cinnamon.

First and foremost we love going here; however Saturday evening their plumbing was out of order so they had Porta-Johns in the parking lot. Before we could order we overheard a staff member telling another table that the kitchen had no working sinks either. So why would they be open for business? Whose is washing their hands, or the dishes. We promptly left very disappointed.
Clouds Brewing RaleighResponded on February 21, 2023Hello, we are so glad you enjoy coming to Clouds! I want to assure you that our plumbing issues were isolated to our bathrooms. The sinks in the kitchen and the front of our restaurant were completely operational, so all health code standards were being met! I apologize that you overheard misinformation from our staff, and we will address that with them promptly. We are actively working on the repair of our plumbing and will be 100% operational by the weekend. We hope to see you again soon!

I always enjoy their shrimp and grits with a nice mimosa craft. Good portion size bloody marys also. However service is always particularly slow I was there on a rainy slow day and food took forever to come out. Even when the food was eaten we waited a while to have to ask to receive our checks. Also finding parking is another pain point so be prepared to pay which would be your best choice ( they dont validate). Overall I really enjoy this place just wish for faster service but I understand things happen

I made a reservation for 4 and we ended up making it 6, and when we arrived I was told we all had to share a 4 top and squeeze. Totally fine, I made the mistake. HOWEVER every table around us was empty the entire time we were there so we all were elbow to elbow when there was obviously multiple empty tables, so it really made zero sense to the table with 4 folks from the industry. Also, our service was the worst I’ve had in a while. I respect the staffing shortage, but I think we were seated for almost an hour before our food order was taken and then we waited another 45 minutes to see our server again. Overall; very bad experience.
