Locked & Loaded Bar & Grill

I have always been hesitant to try this place since it was considered a biker bar but the new location is a very chill spot. If you visit here, you HAVE TO try the wings! They are huge and delicious.

Don’t let «biker bar» scare you off. We are definitely not bikers but have been going to L&L for years. There are families with children, old folks, middle-​agers like us — you’ll see a wide range of people eating here. I don’t order wings anywhere else but at L&L. Come on Tuesday nights and get them at a great price. The best wings are served here (and don’t missed the loaded Tater Tots!). This is the best place to eat in Garner!

Good food. Cold beer. Nightly food specials. No happy hour but daily drink specials. Friendly staff. Open 365 days a year. Outdoor seating. Live bands on weekends. Over one dozen TVs showing sports of all types.

It was a rainy fall Sunday afternoon and we were looking for a good burger and a beer. The other places in Garner were absurdly packed, so we took a chance on Locked and Loaded.
We are not biker people and it’s unfortunate that this awesome place has such a reputation. The folks are friendly and non-​judgmental (in other words, they won’t be giving you strange looks if you don’t show up on two wheels). The inside is roomy with surprisingly well-​designed bar and dining areas.
We sat at one of the many spacious tables and were surrounded by banks of flat-​screens that showed nearly every NFL game (if not all of them) that played that day. Each of the TVs had a piece of paper carefully taped to the bottom that indicated which game was being played… such a nice touch!
This place is known for their awesome wings and even after their relocation from highway 70, the quality did not suffer. I swear… L&L has the best wings I’ve tasted in a long, long time. Absolutely top notch. Super scrumptious… crispy skin, plump meat, tasty sauces. Our burgers were delicious, particularly the fries.
They have a nice selection of draft beers. There were some Budweiser girls giving away free beer and trinkets. They were friendly without being pushy. Not sure how common this is but it wasn’t an intrusion at all.
Overall the restaurant was quiet and calm. The service was fast. Families surrounded us. We had our daughter with us and it was not a big deal. I would imagine that things might be slightly different at a time when a band is playing on a beautiful day and they are swamped. But, our Sunday afternoon visit was really fantastic. And, I can’t wait to go back for those wings!

Food was decent and service was really good. The biker theme isn’t really my thing so I was a little bit out of my element with all the leather and rough around the edges crowd.

I have never been Locked & Loaded, which is strange since it is in Garner, so Mom and I decided to check them out in their new location where Texas Steakhouse used to be. This is considered a biker bar. I thought that the atmosphere was fun, we chose to sit at the bar.
Drinks — Mom and I both got a Shotgun Betty with an orange slice, loved the local craft beer selection
Food — Mom ordered the Hot BBQ wings, all drums, while I got the Steak Philly with Fries. Crinkle cut fries, my favorite! The wings were huge and delicious with the side of ranch. And, my food was good as well.
Great service, beer selection and food! I will definitely be returning!

Friendly service and drinks prices are very friendly to your wallet.

Went for the first time this weekend. Love this place!
Wings were good. Fish tacos excellent. Drinks from bar at full strength. Live music.
Service was excellent. Our server was sharp, very on top of things.
We’re coming back for sure!

New location is definitely an improvement, typical bar menu. Best thing about this place is the staff! They are friendly and proficient.

Stepped in for a quick lunch while having my car worked on.
Ordered a Chicken Cesar Salad which was excellent.
Friendly and prompt service.

Great service, even GREATER wings! :) Nice experience overall, and a great surprise. We just chose the place since we were buying a car nearby. Had never heard of it, and we loved it. Will definitely be back!

Good times. I’m from out of town and the regulars made me feel immediately at home. Good bar food. Had the burger and was not disappointed.

Just not the same since the move. Atmosphere is gone. Food isn’t as good. Sad really because we loved the original. Maybe they can bring it back who knows.

Cold beer on tap! Great burgers and appetizers. Highly recommend. Very casual. Servers very accommodating. Good selection of fresh chicken wings. Stop by on Sun after 12 for Bloody Marys

Favorite wings place in Raleigh! Great burgers too. We go every other weekend. Very consistent!

Don’t go out much due to work travel. When I am home, it’s always a pleasure to stop by L&L. Yes, it’s bar food but it’s not bad at all & the wings are outstanding at any level (talking to you Buffalo). Knowing what food & drinks cost in most cities, this place is a steal.

The food is good the price fair I’m here on a Tuesday night. Selection of brews are good.

The wings are amazing, I would say probably the best I’ve had in Raleigh! They’re big, flavorful and relatively inexpensive. We regularly get take out, but we wouldn’t hesitate to eat in as the staff and patrons are always very nice.
