Napper Tandy's Public House and Restaurant — Restaurant in Angier

I was pleasantly surprised to find a " Irish Pub " near our home.

Me Bride of 43 years went today for a late Lunch / early Dinner.

Seated very quickly. Server was Sweet and Friendly.

We chatted a bit before placing our Drink orders..

OUT of RESPECT

aka " Black & Tan " I had to, translate this...to Our Server..as it was obvious She had NO CLUE what a " Half & Half " meant.

No Biggie...so I thought.

She thought I was ordering a Iced Tea. .

Me Bride..spoke up, and said.. "No..its BEER"

I then. offered. OH. BLACK & TAN.

Server acknowledges..and repeats " Ahhh BLACK & TAN "

Nothing..that REMOTELY resembles a " Black & Tan ".

Ok...so..ill take this experience as a Disappointment.

Raise my Glass..

Out of RESPECT .

My friends, fiance, and I went out for a late lunch and drinks and decided to visit a new place, Napper Tandy's. It's a well put together Irish pub with a modern take that comes across honest and traditional without leaning heavily on classic stereotypes. We were seated immediately and seen immediately by a wonderful waitress named Lexi. She got out drinks, came back for beverages after a respectful time, and really helped out with our friend with dietary restrictions due to a lack of allergen menu.

The appetizers, pretzels with beer cheese and mustard, came quickly and definitely impressed. The dough was fresh and piping hot, not too salty, and the dips were phenomenal. The mustard was perfectly spicy and tangy while the cheese was soft and flavorful, and stuck to the pretzel well.

I had the Pub Steak Sandwich with the kettle chips and it was amazing; the beef wasn't tough and had a rich, savory marinade that accompanied the cheese, mushrooms, and bread perfectly. The chips were thick cut and freshly fried with an aggressive dry rub seasoning that complimented the sandwich and my drink fantastically.

Everyone else enjoyed their food, including a perfectly mid-rare burger, soft yet crispy fries, and great onion rings. The cocktails were strong, well thought out, and masterfully prepared. Overall service from the host and other wait staff was friendly, and Lexi was amazing. A perfect visit, and definitely worth the 30 minute drive on a more...

Update: 6/9/25 I placed an order over the phone for a Ruben classic sandwich $12 and chicken tenders $9. They tried to charge me for an Ruben melt which is $16 and I showed them their prices on their website. Claire told the young lady to tell me it’s their in house prices, like lady what!? At this point take the Ruben off just for the principal of up charge and update you website if the prices are incorrect . The tenders are supposed to come with 6 and they only gave me 5 and they were also over cooked. I went back in and informed the young lady at the check-in. They lacked hospitality and good customer service skills. They didn’t look at their menu or offer a solution.

Old post 2yrs ago: I like the fact they are downtown not far from my house and open on Sundays. Good customer service and friendly environment. What I didn’t like is the food. I wasn’t impressed with the Philly rolls and my burger didn’t come out the way that I wanted it. I ordered at the bar to go or I would have addressed it then. The burger was over cooked. I asked my medium well and all I can taste is char. I also asked for ketchup and mayo but it wasn’t on the burger. Beer on tap was good. I will give it a second go around and see...
