Fabulous! Shame on me for not getting the prime rib. Since I'm not a big meat eater, I chose a chicken plate that was very very good. My husband had the steak burger ( best ever). Those sitting near us had the prime rib and I was jealous. The oooh's and ahhhh's  around made it evident that we were in a steak house of quality. This restaurant is a hidden jewel located right off of Rt 95. There were many of us " road warriors" on Thursday night. We all loved our meals. Our waitress (Emily) was the sweetest and very professional. We will stop again on our next road trip
Review Source:We ate here for a friends engagement announcement. Overall we were happy with the experience.
The Good:
Food-
The food was above average for the area. We got the prime rib for two for $25. In that two people get a 9oz cut of prime rib and a potatoe done the way you want it. I highly recommend the "stuffed" potatoe which is what they call their twice baked potatoe. You almost never find a restraint selling these anymore, and wow was it good. They actually cooked the prime rib right for me and my wife. I almost always end up sending a steak back as I'm picky about how I want it. The drinks were kept full and I was asked if I wanted another beer right when my glass was about empty, but not quite. Speaking of which...
Service-
As mentioned, glasses were kept full and beer was always offered at just the right time. The champagne and wines were chilled just right and not overly so. The food came rather quickly considering there was about 12 of us at the table and it all came at the same time and was all hot. This is often hard to manage, and surprised they pulled it off. The waitresses were very friendly, chatty enough to come across as friendly, but not obtrusive and annoying. They were definetly one of the highlights of the evening.
The Bad
Atmosphere-
This is the few things holding back the last star. It's kinda dim, which isn't really a bad thing, but when combined with the dated decor, it just set a bad tone to the evening before we even sat down. No place that sells Prime Rib, steak, lobster, and so on should ever consider having a plastic table cloth in the entire establishment, so very very tacky.
Beer-The evening would have been better if I had been able to have a good draft beer and not just bottled, but as their clientel seems to consist of mostly 60+, there may not be much demand so I can't really fault them for smart business moves so no one wants to drink old beer from dirty lines caused by a keg lasting way past its prime.
Overall a good memorable evening and a place we'll probably revisit.
Best choice for miles around. Prime rib was generous, cooked to order, tasteful. Medallion of beef was a bit rarer than requested but good; medium, shrimp were average. Baked potato was good, rice was tired. Salad bar slightly above average. People were friendly and fast. We arrived 15 minutes to closing and were welcomed right in.
Review Source:We were in the mood for some beef so we decided to try the Brass Lantern when we saw he reviews here on Yelp.
The Interstate exit location might give you a negative impression to start off with but be brave, the food is pretty good. The building seemed a little rough around the edges and the decor was a little on the country side of 80's style. The hostess was friendly but the waitress seemed a little on the abrupt side. Her attitude was more New York city than Dunn NC, it seemed really out of place.
My wife and I both ordered prime rib and our daughter ordered the fried shrimp. All meals come with a help yourself salad and fresh bread. The salad bar is just ok featuring 25-30 items. The fresh bread was very good. For the main course the prime rib was very good and my daughter's shrimp were large and plentiful. I always love when I ask for horseradish and I get a cup of it just fine chopped, without mayo or other mixers. Along with the au ju It is the perfect addition to prime rib. We tried baked potato and stuffed (twice baked) potato side. The stuffed potato was great but the baked potatoes were a bit dried out.
I was torn between 3 and 4 stars on this one. Call it 3 1/2 stars. The food is good and is also reasonably priced. But I think the waitress' attitude and the dried out potato pushed my rating down a little. I'd go back to the Brass lantern but I won't be telling my friends that they have to try it.
This place is probably the best suppertime find if you are in this neck of the woods in North Carolina. Â I was here for a client site visit and discovered this little gem one weeknight. Â Very good wine selection, several good beers including Newcastle ale, and more than a few good dinner selections on the menu. Â The decor was charming and the hostess was friendly and attentive.
This visit I sampled the house specialty, Prime Rib. Â My plate was filled with the completely-acceptable cut of beef. Â The stuffed potato was a bit dry and overcooked, but the nice loaf of fresh homemade bread served up by our lovely and charming waitress more than made up for it. Â
Accustomed to Dallas prices as I was, I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable cost of the meal. Â And I couldn't have asked for better service. Â So if you find yourself in Dunn, North Carolina (about 35 miles south of Raleigh-Durham), y'all go and check this place out, ya heah??
