We arrived for an early dinner so their evening was just getting started. Location is long rectangular with a centered wall dividing the handsome bar area from dining. Seated immediately and greeted by server immediately. Very friendly staff, the owner came by a bit later and chatted with us as well. I had the firecracker shrimp with a cobb salad plain. Very good. My wife had the country shrimp skillet and was pleased as well. By the time we finished there were several more guests but the noise level remained muted, lighting is soft - a good date night spot.

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.

It was my 18th wedding anniversary and I couldn't have asked for a better evening. Or server, was prompt, courteous, and informative. The hostess was very kind, and kept a smile on her face. She took pictures for my wife and I, even suggested a pose hahaha. The food was fantastic, it arrived quickly and just as we ordered it. 10/10 we'll definitely be back.
