We had a really nice time here. We sat outside and the service was very good. The food is always tasty (we go to the Raleigh location often) so this location met all expectations. Thank you.

Everything was delicious. The shrimp & grits was probably the best I’ve ever had. The grits were so smooth & creamy. The chicken & waffles was delicious - the chicken was seasoned to perfection and crunchy on the outside and juicy inside. The steak & cheese omelet had tender steak. Very good! And the service was upbeat and friendly.

We had a great time at clouds brewing! Our server was very nice and attentive. The drinks and food were delicious. I love that they allowed you to sample some of the beers before you bought one. It has a nice chill atmosphere. Great place to go for a drink and some yummy food.

Clouds was great but my issue was more so with OpenTable. I found it a bit weird that they allow 8:45pm seating when the kitchen closes at 9. Maybe it’s just me but I’ve never seen this happen before.

We were visiting and picked this place from its Open Table description. We sat outside and had a great meal, we just think our server forgot about us for about 20 minutes. But overall, we’d absolutely come back. Great beers, good food.
