Total Rip-off!!!! Service is TERRIBLE! Food is mediocre at best. – You DO NOT have to be a YANKEE to recognize that THIS PLACE IS AWFUL!!!! EVERY SINGLE TIME i go to the Raleigh location they screw my order up! I only go there because there aren't many vegetarian options near my work, but now i don't think i can deal w/ their incompetence at all anymore. Oh, and don't think the management will be of any assistance either. The manager I spoke w/ didn't seem to care at all that his staff couldn't seem to get an order right to ... read more

Don't go here! FIND a BETTER restaurant! – Sorry, NOT at all recommended! Overpriced. You have to serve yourself. That's right, no service at all. Food was crappy. Dirty restaurant. Frankly I was afraid of germs because I feared the food was old. Not even cheap beverages. Almost no one was there at dinnertime. I really can't believe some people like this place (unless the owners put in reviews). The woman who took the order was disinterested and never even looked at me. The guys who I got the food from seemed very nice. I'm ... read more

Right Off the Plane – Good place to go when you don't want to sit in a 3 star, or better, restaurant for a 1/2 hour before your food comes. I didn't want italian, steak, or hamburger. And its having a parking lot right off of Glenwood Ave suited me just fine.

worst yankees anywhere – Im so tired of yankees writing reviews of restaurants. Any restaurant outside of new york is sub-standard because its outside of new york. I want to bring something from new york and serve it at one of these restaurants just to prove a point. 99% of people say a restaurant is good but the "yankee" just has to rear his obnoxious nose every time...YOU chose to move here so deal with our food or leave. i95 goes both ways!!!

Love the food, but cheese dip is inconsistent-tomatoes are poor quality. – Love the food, but there is a room for improvement. I've been eating here since the inception and I have to be honest that the cheese dip is always inconsistent. I eat here 2-3 times a week and sometimes it is runny like water (which defeats the point of being called a dip) and sometimes it is too thick (almost like a casserole.) It is best when it served in between the two. Also, the quality of the tomatoes in your pico is poor. Most of the time, the... read more

Serve Yourself, Wait in line again for condiments! – This is not a place I will return to. It is self-service (hello Char-grill) and is overpriced, mediocre Southwest (and Mexican) food. My biggest complaint? There was no sour cream, and the chicken wings came with about a 1 tablespoon serving of ranch dressing. To get more, I was told I had to reorder and pay at the register. Of course there was a line, but I waited and paid $.75 for 2 ranch dressings and a sour cream. That should give you a feel for my experience! By the t... read more

New Location in Wake Forest A Pleasant Surprise – This was my first time at the Armadillo Grill (apparently there are several locations), and I will be back again. The ordering arrangements are a bit different, but there was someone at the door to explain it all (you essentially become your own waiter). The building is open with plenty of booths that fit 5 comfortably. Their food was warm and prompt -- I particularly enjoyed their queso and chips. Perhaps next time we will try their large patio. Overall, we had a great exper... read more

Our FAVORITE place – The yummiest steak soft tacos around! Armadillo rocks. Because I started going to Armadillo as a UNC student and was used to plastic cups and paper plates -- that doesn't bother me. But I can understand how some might think that the "presentation" could use some work. That's just a way to keep it cheap! And, by the way, you're getting more food than the paper plates make it appear. Two soft tacos are PLENTY. The new "Dillo Deals" are perfect -- since you can now get a single serving of their totally addi... read more
