   Good wine selection, varied menu and delicious food. Our server, Emily, was very attentive and delightful. Brightened up the whole evening. The guitarist deserved more amplification. He was very good but hard to hear due to ambient noise.

   Delicious meal and great service. Because of our age and some hearing problems we hesitate to dine where there’s live music, but tonight was fine with low key female entertainer

   The skirt steak was so tough! We mentioned this to our server, Mason, who was excellent. He removed it from our bill. However, I will be canceling my Brunch reservation for 12/11. Too many other restaurants in Raleigh to try!

   Great spot for a special occasion. Everything on the menu is fabulous. Our table of 5 all got something different and we were all very pleased. Service was attentive. We had the pleasure of being there on a night with live music which was perfect in that it was nice background but not overpowering the conversation.

   Love this place so much! Anytime we have friends in town we always bring them to Irregardless for brunch!! The live music is great and the food is so fresh and tasty. Their menu covers the board for all types of eaters, whether it’s yummy pancakes and turkey bacon for a picky eater like myself or breakfast salmon hash for our pescatarian friends- they’ve got so many great options. PS the fresh OJ is to die for :)

    I picked Irregardless on a whim and it was a delightful experience. Everyone was pleasant, the food was delicious and served promptly. My only complaint is that the music duo was a bit loud, in particular, the bass player's endless solos. Other than that we loved every minute.

    Extremely disappointed with one my favorite restaurants. Undoubtedly, one of the worst meals ever, and definitely the worst Thanksgiving dinner I’ve eaten. Superior starter salad, very satisfying bottle of wine. Wonderful service. But the food! OMG! Disaster! Texture and taste of the turkey bore no resemblance to that of a roasted bird. Very little flavor and, I feel the worst of all, the texture resembled that of sliced luncheon meat. The stuffing was dry with large chunks of bread that had never made contact with any liquid. Cranberry sauce was thin and without flavor. The entire plate and my husband’s salmon dinner was room temp. Not hot, not even warm. I love cooking Thanksgiving dinner and enjoy sharing it with others. Experiencing variations in preparation, seasonings, and friends’ family traditions are what make this meal so special. Circumstances this year forced me to change my usual plans. I’m a huge fan of Irregardless, felt fortunate to have snagged the last two available seats, and was looking forward to a memorable dinner with my partner. Sadly, I will remember this dining experience for all the wrong reasons.

    The food was grest. The waitress was able to cater to my lactose intpllerance. The muzic was lovely. I would have given the restsuraunt a 5 star rating except the restaurant has started charging for parking at its once free parking lot. This seems unfair for a relatively pricy establishment.

    Gone are the days of Arthur Gordon, apparently. The Thanksgiving Dinner menu was intriguing, but all three meals we got lacked the quality of the ingredients and the preparation. The standard Thanksgiving meal (slices of turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, and dressing) was just about inedible. The turkey had a canned look and unpleasant taste and texture. The potatoes were lumpy, the dressing dry. No discernible seasoning. The winter vegetable spanokopita-type dish had a good phyllo shell -- flaky, fresh. The vegetables were OK but had no seasoning. The steak Oscar dish had a nice piece of beef, but was completely unseasoned. The dish had no béarnaise sauce at all (though that was listed in the menu description). The potatoes au gratin were a bit greasy, also without any discernible seasoning. Lastly, the dinner rolls were room temp, dry, no taste -- like low-quality mass produced rolls straight out of a plastic bag. Overall, it was such a disappointing meal, after many years of terrific food. The service was great, and give credit to the manager who was professional and comped the turkey dinner without us asking (which was the only dish we complained about, after being asked by the server about full plates at the end of the meal). The menu has shrunk quite a bit since the new owners took over, and we miss some old favorites. But the precipitous dip in quality for this meal is what may keep us from coming back.

    Thanksgiving dinner was the first time for us to return to Irregardless since Covid shut down. We were a party of six. It was good to have a varied menu and not a prix fixe menu. My husband ordered the rack of lamb which was very good. However I opted to have the traditional Turkey dinner plate. Big mistake as the Turkey was not fresh pieces but a Turkey roll that was very thick round slices (6) and tasted of preservatives. A most unappetizing plate that after one bite I sent back and ordered the butternut squash salad with grilled chicken. That was good but I missed having my Turkey! Talking to other customers, they voiced the same disappointment and regretted not sending it back. One of our friends ordered the salmon which she said lacked flavor so half was left. As for ambience, of course crowded due to Thanksgiving but deafening music from someone hired to continually play a keyboard with no break. We asked for the music to be lowered twice but that did not happen! With loud customer chatter and some with hearing aids, that should be addressed. Finally a charge of 20% service was added to our check as we were six which is fine with us and Tabitha well deserved it! However what wasn’t OK was that our bill was $62 with a 20% erroneously calculated at $19.40, which is around 32%!! Should have been $12.40! I will add that we have always enjoyed eating at Irregardless and my comments are meant to be constructive criticism. As for returning? Maybe.

    There's something for everyone at this longstanding cozy favorite near Pullen Park. The relaxed atmosphere, delicious varied menu, and great music combine to make a great spot for first dates, special occasions, or just a family dinner. Bring your wallet, as it can run $50-75pp with drinks and dessert; but it's worth it.
