The Dankery Dispensary

I've known the owner for a few years now. A bright, energetic and very pleasant young man. My son has been going to the Dankery since the food truck days and has always raved about the place. I finally had an opportunity to go after a night out on the town. The food was very well prepared and tasted great! The sandwich had a healthy portion of well seasoned, fresh meat that went very well with the fries. Overall very well prepared, good portion size and very good quality food, especially considering how late it was. The guys working were very friendly, informative and had a great attitude. We will continue to visit the Dankery! The food was great and the staff were friendly making for a great over all experience 👍🏼. It's easy to support our younger generation who throw everything they have into the positive things they envision for themselves and the public at large.

This was my first time at The Dankery after seeing it on TiktlTok and Instagram and I gotta say it wasn't to bad. Me and my wife got down there around 10pm and it seemed pretty dead so no wait to put an order. Waited maybe about 20 min for our food not to bad. Total came out to around $31. She got the wing tray, I got chicken & queso sub. Real quick shout out to Ivan and his coworker for being straight-up and super helpful and friendly. So got the food. It wasnt too bad, the sub was pretty good (liked the queso) but I wish it had some peppers. I got to try wings, they were REALLY good. The wife got Lemon Pepper dry rub on them, a little on the sweet side but it still slapped. Fries were ur standard state fair kind, we didnt get it smothered with anything so ur milage may vary when adding that. Speaking on that we didn't really get a sauce so I can't comment on that, but the lemon pepper is pretty good. So as far as price, I felt the Sub Tray was fair, I mean I'd spend that much at Chipotle and get about the same amount of food so it checks out to me👍. The wings however, while they were extremely good 6 wings for $15 is extremely high imo and even though I like the one I ate, I'd be hard pressed to pay for them at that price. The spot inside is interesting, gives sort of a "closing for the night" club vibe, got a one tv in the back with some couches. Not super welcoming feel but honestly it not a big deal but felt I should share. All and all, The Dankery is a pretty standard fried food affair. While we only got 2 different items with no extras or dessert, I feel that, that may be the best way to go about enjoying this place. Keep it simple. Food isn't to die for, but u get ur money's worth (wings debatable). ‐------------------------------------------------ Thats my review but i do have 2 things to add. One for the owner, and one for online orderers. For the Owner, it was concerning to see one of ur guys not wearing non-slip shoes especially being around a fryer and also I didn't see the sanitation score, highly, HIGHLY suggest you fix those. And for those that order online especially late at night. THIS ISNT AN EXCUSE, but do know that ordering any food around Raleigh late at night is a game of roulette. Sometimes its what u ordered, sometimes its not. Sometimes the food is hot and tasty, sometimes it seems like it was left in the cold and has no salt. Idk what it is about ordering Doordash but its just so damn inconsistent and The Dankery isn't the only one thats suffers from this and certainly wont be the last. Also the pricing on Doordash is ATROCIOUS! Again the food is fine but paying DoorDash prices sadly makes this not worth. So if u gonna order Doordash at 1am, waiting over an hour and half and paying $20 for 6 wings, do be realistic with yourself.

I found The Dankery while looking for restaurants in Raleigh, North Carolina. The two gentlemen who were present were very nice. The food was fantastic. I got the shrimp and my partner selected the wings with honey chipotle sauce and queso fries. Our food was seasoned well and the queso was wonderful. Overall, great experience.

The fries with crawfish and lobster sauce! Oh my my my. The flavor of crawfish tails and sauce- outstanding and hand cut fries to boot. Damnnn dankery got me happy at 2:30am even though I'm at work.

Initial contact wasn’t exactly welcoming. Guy was nonchalant. My boyfriend & I total came up to $65. After tapping his car, the cashier just so happened to remember that they were “out of crab.” 😒 crazy to remember after payment has been made. Anyways, we were told that we would be texted when the food was ready. Well after waiting 40 minutes… we went back inside & he said it was ready. The food wasn’t exciting. My fries were burnt 😭 so $65 for 9 wings, 4 tenders, two orders of burnt fries andddd NINE DOLLARS for banana pudding (tenders were okay, & he liked the wings). The floor was wet and a customer slipped and fell. No wet floor signs. lol. Nothing like The Dankery food truck from Durham. This was terrible. 0/10
