   I had the baby back ribs and my daughter had a steak. We went on a Friday night and there wasn’t a crowd at all so that was good. Our food was good, came out quick. The hostesses and waitress were very nice and friendly. We enjoyed it & somewhere new. We’ll definitely go back again.

   Excellent food for the price. Friendly staff and very efficient. Did not have a single complaint about anything. Mixed drinks were perfectly mixed.

   Good as I remember from Florida. We have been up in NC for 15 years and missed Tony Roma’s.

   The food was terrible. Burgers were not cooked to temperature. The steak and appetizers were very salty. We had a large party and our waitress had a terrible attitude. We won’t return and recommend you spend your money elsewhere.

   Tony Roma’s is such a great addition to the restaurant scene in the Triangle. Their ribs are the best, and you will also find their rib eye steak is especially delicious and big enough for two. They also have the best hot bread you will ever find, and you don’t have to ask for it. Please save room for their desserts. They are large enough to feed the table. I am still eating my leftovers. Lastly, the wait staff are so helpful and efficient. You will want to tip them double. Do not miss a chance to enjoy an evening of culinary bliss. It is easy to find off the Interstate 40 in RTP.

   The food was not very good what saved us from walking out was the drinks.. shout out to the bartender. There wasn't really anyone there but it took forever just to get the waitress to come to the table. Wasn't happy with the experience at all. Appetizers the onion loaf was soggy like it had been sitting for a while which could have been seeing the waitress took forever not sure if she was being over worked that night or what.

    We used to live in Omaha, near a Tony Roma's, and went at least a couple times a month. We were thrilled to see one open in the Durham area. Food and service were great.

    Asked for a well done onion loaf and they kept it in the fryer only 30 seconds longer. Not as I requested. Ribs could have been hotter temperature. The skin on the back of the ribs was not removed as it should be in the prep. Ribs were very tender this time. Love it.

    Food was good and servings large. Service personnel needed training. My wife’s salad came out without the salad dressing and she had to speak with four different people before the dressing was brought to the table

    I didn’t enjoy my main course meals. However the drinks and the appetizers wings, mozzarella sticks, and onion loaf were good as well as the rum punch. I’d probably only get drinks if I ever went back.

    Very disappointing. I was excited to learn that TR had opened nearby. Unfortunately the food and service did not compare to the many Miami area locations I would eat at in the 70's and 80's. In the 90's I worked at 3 locations, 1 as a service manager, 1 where I was a kitchen manager and then a General Manager in Coral Gables. There was no Pina Colada mix for my wife's drink. Then when my wife asked asked our server for a Sangria, the bartender forgot to make her drink. The restaurant was not staffed sufficiently for a Friday night.

    Waited for a server or anyone to talk to us at all for 25 minutes after having a reservation for 4 days ahead. Heard the table next us was waiting 10 minutes for their check. So we left, and went to Longhorn. Very wobbly table, menu looked 2 years old. Lighting was very bright. Was really looking forward to it but this ruined my date night with my wife. Thanks.

    They were understaffed so Not sure how it would be with a full staff. The restaurant itself looked nice. But wayyyy too bright. No ambiance. There were dirty plate’s at most of the tables. Which I’m sure is from being understaffed. But again ambiance. Was cold that night so the front door should have been locked. Or either have a double door at the front. Now for the food. Skip the kickin shrimp. The rest of the food tasted great though. Waitress was great for being understaffed. I will give this place another try as i like the type of food they serve. And that will determine if i can recommend them in the future!

    We enjoyed the service , we came at 5pm and the place was almost empty so the wait time was short and our food was served quickly. Maybe people don’t know about Roma’s yet, but it’s next to a hotel , I’ sure it stays busy most nights. Ribs were tender and moist , not falling off the bone which I prefer. The jalapeño cheddar burger was bland, though it would be more spicy, but it was alright. Overall a great dinning experience at a reasonable cost.

    I was disappointed the food was either salty or had no flavor. We ordered the ribs and they were overly salty and had no flavor. It’s was like dining at an Overpriced Applebee’s.

    Made an 8:30 reservation, only to arrive and be told they close at 9 pm. Host reluctantly seated us and when the waitress came we felt rushed. Food was bland, server never came to check if we needed anything. I'm assuming due to a 18% gratuity added in bill for a party of 2 was the reason she felt she didn't need to work for her tip. I'll never return, the whole evening was ruined due to attitude of the staff.

    Was expecting a simple, low key dinner. Unfortunately, salad plates were dirty and our orders were wrong. They forgot my wife’s dinner, so her plate was brought to the table 5 min after everyone else’s. That was disappointing. The food was ok. Nothing special. I had the ribs and filet combo. The steak was over cooked and not well seasoned, and the ribs were dry. Overall, this was a miss, unfortunately.

    Nice restaurant, with good food and service. Didn't realize it was attached to a hotel. Not the best ambiance or atmosphere. A little pricey but since it's attached to a hotel, that's to be expected.

    We waited 20 minutes for our two beers and they never arrived. The bartender was serving people who walked in and sat at the bar before us. Another table who came in after us were served before us. We ended up leaving even though we placed our dinner order. The lighting is awful. So bright. The wine list is limited. We are staying the the double tree. We have told the front desk not to recommend anyone to go there.
