Yelptoberfest At Firewurst

Superb event! Actually my 1^st Unilocal event too! And I was amazed at how this whole event was put together so well! Lilly was super friendly and welcoming at the front check-​in, and even though my friend and I came late, a fellow Unilocaler and her husband made room for us in the booth. I was a little nervous it’d be awkward meeting all these new people, but everyone I met was super nice and kind! Oh and the food? SO MUCH! I can’t believe how much food Firewurst prepared for us! I kept coming back for seconds and thirds! And the pumpkin beer was awesome. My friend and I were just floored by how much went into this event. We left super full, meeting really cool people, and just having a great time. Thank you so much to Unilocal,Lauryn and Firewurst for hosting! So much great food, and lots of fun.
Highlights: the texas chili hot dog. the philly cheeseburger. the pumpkin beer. the pumpkin stacking game! The fries! New friends!
Low points: …nothing!
Can’t wait to see what’s next from Unilocal Triangle!

Firewurst fired up some delicious eats for our Elite event! We had a wide selection of dogs, sausages and burgers, on in-​house baked bread. Very tasty. They offered veggie, beef and chicken versions. My favorites were the spicy chicken sausages — will certainly be back for those. In addition to all that delicious meat they offered homemade slaw, fries (cajun and parmesan — we didn’t have any garlic on our fries — bummer), and pumpkin beers. Loved the Cottonwood Pumpkin Ale!
I also loved the Cards Against Humanity type game. Great excuse to visit other tables and find an hilarious match. Thank you SO much Firewurst, Lauryn, Lilly and all my fellow Unilocalers for making Monday a Funday!

Ach du lieber Himmel! Sausages in October?! Jawohl! I love Unilocal events, especially on a Monday night!
Big thanks from me and my plus 1 to Lauryn and crew for another fine Elite event. The Firewurst brothers sure laid out a spread for us. It was sausages galore from bratwurst to chicken and everything in between. All delicious, some very creative, and even some burgers. The fries were wonderful and with three different toppings to try. Yum!
If that wasn’t enough there was a sweets table provided by Unilocal and some fun games and favors too! The big bonus is a twofer from the brothers Firewurst to come back again for more good eats! What a night!

I am now in the fall spirit after going to this Elite event! Firewürst is a great family run business with all the makings for success. The brothers were there to great us and the staff is top notch.
My favorite dog was the Baja-​vocado dog. The aioli was the kicker! The hand cut fries were amazing and you can add your own spices. There are also vegetarian and gluten free options! So take the whole family. They have a great selection of local craft beers. Which you may need if you take the whole family!
There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I’ll give my stamp of approval for bathroom cleanliness as well!!!

What better way to celebrate Oktoberfest than with delicious dogs, beer and my fellow Unilocalers! We were treated to a great buffet of Firewurst signature dogs, burgers and fries as well as some super refreshing beer (I especially loved the Foothills Cottonwood Pumpkin! I’m a sucker for anything pumpkin!). We all left with BOGO coupons which I am sure to use very soon!
Along with the great food and drinks there were lots of German goodies and fun to be had (you never go wrong with Cards Against Humanity)! Thanks Lauryn for the great time!

What an awesome Unilocaltoberfest!
My favs were the Baja-​avocado style dog and the Firewurst Sandwich, so delish!
What did I learn at this Unilocal event?
–Do not purchase a Five Below selfie stick per Lilly
–Ben will win me a koozie with his pumpkin stacking abilities
–The guys at my table secretly loved the Cottonwood Pumpkin, Jeff I still think that you are in denial
What an amazing event, I can’t wait for the next! And, of course, to use my coupon!

Awesome Unilocal event!!! Thanks to the host Firewurst for opening your restaurant for the night just for us Unilocalers. I was overwhelmed by how generous Firewurst, foothills and Carolina brewing company were. There was an unlimited amount of hot dogs, burgers, and different sausages on sample. The trays were continuously replenished. They even brought out to go boxes at the end for us to have extra hot dogs still for lunch the next day! So nice! I loved all the food, but some of my favorites were the chicken apple sausage with peppers and onions, the hot dog with avocados, and the veggie sandwich. The fries were delicious. They brought out huge trays for each table. We first tried the parmesan fries which were delicious! They had just the right amount of seasoning on them. Our table finished these quickly. We were so full from all the hot dogs, but decided to try the cajon spiced fries. This was the best decision of the night! The cajon fries were amazing. Such great seasoning I wasn’t even hungry anymore but almost finished the whole plate on my own.
There was unlimited beer at this event too… what more could you ask for?! I got to try foothills pumpkin beer which is now a new favorite of mine. It was light and the pumpkin flavor wasn’t too heavy and overbearing. They had a pumpkin stacking contest where I won a t-​shirt and a cup!
The German candy was a nice touch to celebrate Octoberfest and also get a to go bag of some great chocolates! The chocolate wafers were so good and had the perfect crunch to them.
I certainly left Firewurst full and happy. I have only good things to say about Firewurst and this event! I’ll be going back to Firewurst soon enough!

Lots of fun for my first Elite event! I’d tried Firewurst once a long ago but didn’t realize their menu was so extensive. It was fun trying different things and the fact they brought us hot fries around was just icing on the cake! Games were fun and the candy bar was interesting too (black fish shaped ones were freaky!!). Beer was tasty too and it was fun meeting more Unilocalers! Great job!

Food, food and more food at the Elite event at Firewurst. Lauryn and Firewurst did an awesome job here. Firewurst does an amazing job with their variety of hotdogs and hamburgers. We had the options from everything from spicy chicken sausage dogs to philly cheese steak burgers. Yum! High quality proteins and good beer. I enjoy these events. They do not disappoint. Oh by the way, I ate more Firewurst leftovers for lunch. Winning!

Another wonderful Unilocal event! Huge thanks to Lauryn, Lilly and the Firewurst crew for brightening up my monday with some delicious food, beers, and some good company with other Unilocalers! :)
The food… oh, the plentiful and delicious food! The selection Firewurst provided was large with four different sandwiches/​burgers to try, three different types of fries to try in addition to all the different sausages/​hot dogs (I can’t even remember how many there were! At least 5 different ones!) I really enjoyed the crowd favorite parmesan fries as well as the baja-​vocado dog and bacon cheeseburger, but my favorite has to be the spicy chicken sausage! I just loved how much of a kick I got from the dog and that is was chicken! That makes it healthy right? Either way, I was not disappointed with Firewurst’s food… it was all so great!
On top of the wonderful spread, we could enjoy the Foothills Cottonwood Pumpkin beer and/​or Carolina Brewery’s Oktoberfest – both perfect for the Unilocaltoberfest event :)
The staff at Firewurst were just wonderful to us! They were friendly, accommodating and always available if we had a question or wanted to order some fries. They really helped to make this event even better! Also, hearing from the owner of Firewurst was great because I learned that they are NOT a franchise/​national company and actually a local company/​brand! How awesome! It was great to hear that they really think about their dishes and intentionally make their dogs/​sausages gluten-​free, MSG free, and as local as possible! Yay!
Overall, this event was a blast filled with great food, company and drinks! Thank you again Lauryn for bringing us all together and getting me to try a new place! Particularly one so close to my house… I’m sure I’ll be coming back to Firewurst soon especially now that I know what they’re all about!

Yet another awesome Elite event hosted by our fabulous CM Lauryn! Firewurst really spoils us Unilocalers… the event at this location was even better than the Cary one, and I didn’t know that was possible!
Firewurst is locally owned (their only 2 stores are here in RDU) and run by 2 brthers. They use so many good products– all of their meat is hormone/​antibiotic/​steroid-​free and their produce is local! They always have local craft beers on tap, and this event they had Cottonwood Pumpkin and Vienna Lager.
The food was terrific and my oh my there was so much of it!!! My favorite dogs were the chili dog (I loved the bean chili & fresh jalapenos) and the chicken dog. The bombay veggie sandwich was great too! Oh, and I reeeeally loved the fresh handcut fries with cajun seasoning… the parm/​garlic were popular but I sure do love cajun fries :)
I’m truly spoiled (and still so full!), thank you again, Firewurst, for yet another amazing Unilocal Elite event!!! :)

As usual this was a very fun Elite event at Firewurst! I was really excited to have an event close to home with the Oktoberfest theme! My husband and I had been to Germany and had the outfits to wear to the party.
The food was plentiful and it was good to get to try some of the menu items that I had not had before. My husband and I already liked Firewurst but now I have some new items to order the next time we eat there. I tried three of the sausages/​dogs and my favorites were the spicy chicken sausage and the bavocado dog! That was a hot dog topped with havarti, greek yogurt, avocado and jalapenos– yum! They also had two different burgers and a few different sandwiches. I really enjoyed everything I tried. My husband and I already liked the parmesan fries but the cajun fries were something different to try and also delicious!
We also enjoyed the fall beers (Cottonwood Pumpkin is one of my favorite pumpkin beers) and the German candy bar! That was a cool idea!
I was really glad to hear the Firewurst is locally owned and not a chain! We were fans before but after last night we are bigger fans and will be back to eat at Firewurst again soon! Thank you to Lauryn and Firewurst for a fun Oktoberfest party!

Was pleased to see Unilocaltoberfest come up on the Elite calendar — especially when it was scheduled on a Monday night.
Loved seeing the couple that took «dress in your Octoberfest best» seriously — that was a great choice! I appreciate that Ron W allowed me to borrow his hat so I looked a bit more «authentic»
Firewurst did an excellent job of supplying us with a great variety of their sausages, burgers, and hot dog choices. My favorite was their namesake item — The Firewürst Sandwich Can’t forget about those awesome fries! Parmesan fries — yes please.
I enjoy that this is a local business, and their efforts to use locally sourced ingredients.
Our fabulous CM Lauryn provided us with yet another enjoyable Unilocal Elite event, with assistance by Lilly (aka the Unilocal Selfie Stick babe).
Great night and event for my +1 and me to enjoy. Looking forward to the next one!

This event was marvelous, I enjoyed the bratwurst and the wassabi coleslaw– a very unique take on the original hotdog/​sausage. In addition to delicious food, I really enjoyed the drinks which were offered. I am not typically one to reach for pumpkin flavored beer but Foothills and Carolina Brewing Company turned me on to the concept.
Lauren– you were wonderful at the event, and so helpful! This was my first time at one of the more intimate Unilocal events and I really enjoyed sitting with other Unilocalers and making new friends!
I was lucky to be able to bring my plus one, and he enjoyed the event just as much as I did! Thank you so much Firewurst for hosting, I will be back to taste more delicious creations. I had no idea the lengths this local business has gone to in order to make a mark on our local foodies and community on the whole. Thanks again!

Firewurst has gone and spoiled us again! This is the second Elite event at Firewurst that I’ve been lucky to attend and they really know how to feed us! There was food aplenty! They stuffed us full with a variety of hot dogs, bratz, burgers, and sausages. There were EIGHT different items on the menu to try, and that is not including the Firewurst sandwich, or any of the fries. My favorite item was the Chicken Apple Sausage with the peppers and onions! They were also extremely generous with the french fries. Our table finished off a huge basket of the parmesan fries and then opted to try the cajun fries as well. The cajun fries were good, but a little too seasoned for my liking. So when I come back, I’ll be ordering the parmesan fries.
You can tell that the Firewurst family and staff really care about their product and strive to serve great quality food. I also love how local they are! Thank you to Firewurst and Lauryn for a fabulous dinner and a fun way to celebrate Oktoberfest (even if it is over)! And thanks to Carolina Brewing for providing us with some beverages as well!

What an awesome way to celebrate October ;) I definitely walked out with a food-​baby — Firewurst did not skimp on showing us a good time for Unilocaltoberfest. They had probably 10 different trays of sausages, brauts, burgers, slaws, three kinds of handcut fries (parmasen fries is where it’s at), etc., Who knew that Firewurst is a local company? I thought it was a national chain, and really appreciated learning more about their mission in keeping it as local as possible, nitrate free, GMO free, gluton free, etc… I love supporting family-​owned businesses and the two brothers/​owners and staff showed us a great time. Thanks for the hook up on the free drinks, too! I opted for the Cottonwood Pumpkin Ale… Right now, it is most definitely #pumpkin #errday
Thanks Lauryn and Firewurst — I was super impressed by the food and the super friendly staff who went above and beyond for us… this was a fun event with pumpkin necklaces, the German candy bar, icebreakers and good Unilocalin’ company. Fun times as always ;)

Five stars for Unilocaltoberfest at Firewurst the event! ONE STAR for those little, salty, black licorice berries, ack. Ahh, but you know what, the food and beer from Firewurst thankfully washed that taste out of my mouth!
Great job again by Lauryn and Firewurst for putting on a great event for the Unilocal Elite on Monday. We enjoyed everything from grilled sausage sandwich, bacon cheeseburgers to a great Foothills Cottonwood Pumpkin beer! Enjoyed my Unilocaltoberfest pretzel necklace and the German candy bar (mostly :-). With the food and beer flowing, who could complain?!
And while I didn’t win any prizes for Crimes Against Humanity, I did finally get to meet Unilocalers Reiko, Kate and Nancy which totally made up for those black licorice berries…
So thank you Firewurst, Foothills and Carolina Brewing Company! And awesome job Lauryn and selfie-​stick queen, Lilly! You out-​Yelped yourself again…

I love Firewurst, it’s my favorite fast but not fast food restaurant in the area! The Unilocal event is an awesome way to try out menu items that I haven’t had yet, and I definitely found a couple new favorites tonight!

This was a great Unilocal Elite Event put on by Lauryn and Firewurst. I was impressed with how much food there was — trays and trays of MEAT: sausages, bratwurst, burgers, and hot dogs. Not to mention the drinks — the Cottonwood Pumpkin Ale was perfect for the event.
I enjoyed the Spicy Chicken Sausage the most — the spiciness was at a good level, and mixed in was a hint of sweetness in the sauteed onions. But close seconds included the «Philly-​delphia Style» Burger — there was some great flavor in the burger meat — and the Chicken Apple Sausage — I may just be a sucker for chicken sausage. I thought the «Baja-​vocado Style» Dog was done well — I liked the mix of avocado and the yogurt aioli with the spiciness of the jalapenos.
I almost forgot the Parmesan fries, which seemed to be the crowd favorite. It’s hard to go wrong with fries, but to add Parmesan and garlic to it really takes it to a whole other level. Firewurst did a pretty good job with it.
The servers and service was great — super attentive and very quick — and it was cool to hear the owner talk a bit about the restaurant’s background and story.
Not only did I leave with a satisfied belly, but the BOGO coupons for future use were an awesome parting gift. I’ll definitely be checking out Firewurst again sometime in the future. Thanks for putting on a great event!

October is here, a little chill in the air, and some great brats, dogs, burgers sandwiches, and beer. Now that’s living. Another great Unilocal Elite event! Thank you Lauryn!
Firewurst is in the Brier Creek Shopping Center in Raleigh. It’s a family run establishment and everything, I mean every last detail, is handled beautifully by management and staff. There are only 2 locations, Cary and Raleigh, but I predict them growing in leaps and bounds.
They make their own bread! They have their brats specially made in Chicago, and their dogs are locally made. Toppings are fresh and tasty, nothing canned or artificial.
My favorites were a toss up between the Texas Chili Dog and the Jalapeño Dog. Their slaw is really good too, just a touch of wasabi in there to give it a great little kick, perfect right on top of those dogs.
We were treated to two kinds of beer from Carolina Brewery, Pumkin Spive and Oktoberfest. The Oktoberfes was light and a good pairing for the dogs, but I really liked the pupkin. Juuuuuussssst a touch of pumkin and spice, not overbearing. I think I’ll get some for our next movie and popcorn night at home, it would be great with that.
Fun games tonight, we had a little spin-​off of Cards Against Humanity (but clean) and everyone was given a card and then a few more cards at the table, and whoever go the funniest question and answer won tickets to an event at DPAC. Sweet! Congratulations to the winner.
I really love these Unilocal events, The food is great, the atmosphere is always lively and fun, and most of all it’s just such a great group of people to enjoy it all with. Can’t wait for the next event!
