If I could give 0 stars, I would. First- we had to ask several times for our drinks. When one person ordered a seltzer, the waitress rolled her eyes and said "oh, ok," in a disapproving tone. She hardly returned to the table to check on us. In fact, our waitress LEFT in the middle of our meal, and didn't tell anyone she still had a table. And it's not like we were there late, about 8pm on a Thursday. We had to flag down another waitress, who informed us she preferred if we tipped in cash. After cashing out, she stood around waiting for us to get the tip out, while we were chatting and my friend was finishing her beer (maybe a third of it left). She even had the audacity to say "Let me know when you finally have that cash out." How rude. How entitled. Then, the food. I'm glad everyone at my table enjoyed their chicken wings, half chicken, or chicken sandwhich. However, their featured pizza was burnt and bland. I've never had mozzarella cheese taste like absolutely nothing. We will not be back.

Awesome, place for a great meal and drinks with friends. I highly recommend visiting and making this your regular go-to restaurant and bar. 5 Stars all around.

Came in on a Friday for dinner with my wife, talked to hostess. Was waiting on our table to be cleaned and some locals came in and were promptly seated there. A little scramble to find us another spot...we left and probably will not be back. Spent our night of dinner and drinks elsewhere ($$).I don't blame the hostess as she looked a little overwhelmed bussing tables and the folks that took the table seemed to barge over her. But what was the point of having a hostess?

Great menu and staff! Food delicious

Great spot for a drink, I love their cocktails. Definitely recommend and enjoyed the pizza. Wouldn’t recommend the fish and chips though. All in all, love the atmosphere and enjoyed it.

We got an invitation to go from a local group, have been back once a week since. This has been my bf and I's go to spot. The area out back on the patio is dog friendly and the heaters help on the colder nights. The parking out back is also convenient. The flatbread and cheese plate are my favorites. Must try if you want a night out but not wanting to go too far into downtown and want a chill vibe like we do.

Ordered take out. Ordered two house salads and 18 wings. House salads were un edible - wet - rotten lettuce. Both house salads were @$14 total that went right in the trash. Blue cheese dressing for wings - not sure what it is but definitely not blue cheese. Maybe an off night I don’t know but won’t return.

We live in Hayes Barton and enjoy the food at Lone Rider, but using my computer (not phone) to find a menu is beyond frustrating. I called and was told that she did not know which Lone Rider webpage I was looking at. I said I went to Google, clicked on 5 Points location, and could not pull up a full menu. I read to her that shrimp was on the partial menu and she said there are no shrimp on the menu and she did not know which menu I was reading from. She said that I had to come in to see a menu. (I have been in previously and was told to use my phone to see the menu.) Even though I requested several times to inform mgment of this issue, she did not seem to want to pass this along. Customers expect the webpage (using a computer) to be simple - just like every other reputable restaurant. This current communication is not customer friendly. It would be nice for mgment to contact me directly to explain how to look at a menu from home computer or to amend Lone Rider's current system. It would be a further improvement to provide menus in the restaurant. I look forward to hearing from mgment.

Good beer, food and atmosphere!

Terrible service; took over an hour to get our food! Nasty beer and seltzer as well. Do NOT recommend!
