Aviator Brewery is a big draw for many beyond our little town. This restaurant offers good BBQ and my personal favorite is the smoked chicken salad sandwich/wrap! Wash it down with my favorite Aviator Beer called "Devils Tramping Ground". They have a variety of kid-friendly options and its located in a family-friendly area with shops and dessert places nearby.

This local restaurant has 2 locations (Holly Springs & Fuquay Varina) nearby. The one located in Fuquay-Varina is my favorite. We like to walk before/after in the area and grab treats and shop. Try the flank steak salad and mac n cheese balls. They also serve their own brewed beers. Also they have a brewery with bar and live music in Fuquay Varina.

This is our go-to place for a local date night! Small and intimate and great food! They have a great selection of Italian wines and also a good stock of Bourbons, they frequently will do tasting flights. Tre Polpette con Crostini and Salmone Cinque Terra are just a couple of the go-to dishes for us. If you have a larger party or it's peak dinner time on the weekend, we recommend a reservation.

Across the street from Aviator Smokehouse is the "Tap House". The tap house has a smaller selection of BBQ and a more condensed menu but offers 2 bars, 1 indoor and 1 outdoors. This is a great place to chill on a nice summer night. Live music on occasion​.

Special Experiances

Education programs consist of multiple species birds of prey including hawks, falcons, and owls. Along with an interactive experience with our birds, our audiences will learn about the history of falconry (where and how it began and its importance in royal life during medieval times), physiology of birds of prey, and how they are so important to our environment. http://www.hawkmanorfalconry.net/education.html
We loved our experience at Hawk Manor Falconry! The kids had just as much fun as the adults and we all learned something and got to hold, pet and see some amazing animals in action. Highly recommend. Must have advanced reservations. http://www.hawkmanorfalconry.net/education.html
