Everything was excellent, as always. My friend and I have lunch together at the PWB every 5-6 weeks and everything, from the food to the server, is outstanding, even on a very busy day for your staff today. Thank you.

So glad we came across this hidden gem! Our food and service were great. Brendan, our server, was attentive, charismatic, and very knowledgeable of the menu. We enjoyed the seasonal salad and Brussels Caesar. The Margherita flatbread was fresh and flavorful. The shrimp and salmon was well-seasoned with a spicy kick. The spicy rigatoni pasta was flavorful and had just the right amount of spice. We loved the impressive spirits menu. The lemon cake was my light and not too sweet. Delicious! Looking forward to returning!

Their website showed soft shell crab and thus that is what I wanted. I learned after arriving that they had not updated the site and had not had it for over a year. However the catfish was fabulous as usual.

About the restaurant

Restaurant/Bar with amazing Food, Drinks, and Service.

We strive to make your dining experience unique, flavorful and unexpected. Not your typical restaurant or bar, Rascals Tavern is a chef-owned restaurant offering fresh, flavorful dishes that reflect our rebellious nature. Everything is fresh and made from scratch by order so we cannot guarantee that we will have all of the items on the menu when you visit. More popular dishes and sandwiches will sell out quickly or she may use the last of one of her fresh ingredients before the day runs out. However, Chef Jessica can whip up something unique for you . . . Especially if you have a vegetarian, vegan or gluten free diet.

Limited capacity in-door seating and outdoor seating available.
Patio is not guaranteed but can be requested by calling 336-944-5527. We kindly ask that you limit your dining time during peak hours due to NC state-regulated capacity restrictions. Thank you for your understanding.

How have we missed this restaurant? Great scratch kitchen with wonderful specials! My wife had the chicken and dumplings which she described as the best she has ever had. “They are like a warm hug.” I had the steak tacos; also amazing! I hate say anything more for fear that people will find this place and we won’t be able to get in.😃

Pangaea delivered a very good experience last week. Excellent service, two very good dishes in a much quieter room. Mushroom ravioli and pork tenderloin were excellent. Plantain gnocchi were interesting but I don't think we'd order them again.
