Fall flavors have arrived at PR! We’ve lined up a cozy, top-shelf menu featuring savory Butternut Squash Risotto, rich Chocolate Pâté, sticky toffee goodness, and exceptional wine & single-malt Scotch pairings to warm you up from the inside out. Come pull up a chair, order a feature cocktail, and taste what our chef has been cooking up!
Your weekly menu upgrade has arrived! We’ve got something special cookin’ for the next seven days only. Gather the crew and come grab a table before these limited-edition flavors hit the road next Tuesday night!
Rain or shine, the Players Retreat is where you want to be this weekend. 🌧️🍷 Enjoy the fall weather with roasted butternut squash bisque, bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin, and a pour of single-malt Scotch or rich dessert wine.
Why stick to the usual lunch routine when you can take a flavor detour? Starting Wednesday, Oct. 7, we’re dropping two exclusive creations for seven days only. Sink your teeth into our cumin-spiced Bulgarian Burger or level up your brunch game with the premium Lox & Loaded open-faced sandwich. Catch them before they’re gone on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026!
First of all, we want to give a big THANK YOU to all of our incredible patrons, regulars, and INDY Week readers who voted Players Retreat as Raleigh’s Best Cheap Eats for 2026!
We’ll be honest—”cheap” isn’t usually the word we use around here. We ground our Certified Choice Beef in-house daily, serve up hand-cut steaks, curate one of the premier single-malt Scotch collections in the country, and craft Chef-driven weekend specials. But in a year where affordability is top-of-mind for everyone, we wear the “Best Value” crown with immense pride.
October is here, but with highs reaching nearly 90°F this week, summer isn’t done with Raleigh just yet! Whether you’re cooling off after the Wolfpack game or looking for warm autumn nights with cold drinks on the patio, our Mexican Weekend Specials will do the trick.
Forget played-out fall clichés—our kitchen is leaning into big, unexpected combinations that make zero apologies. From a gorgonzola-and-apple burger stack to a coconut curry tuna remix, this limited-run menu is built for pure flavor chasing.
Join us on this first weekend of fall–Thursday, Sept. 24 through Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.–for three nights of comfy, seasonal specials. Savor lamb or squash, dig into a cut-to-order filet, and pair it with a select Cabernet, a craft cocktail or our Glendronach single-malt Scotch to round out the experience.
Starting Wednesday, Sept. 23 through Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, guests can enjoy two new limited-time menu additions. Satisfy seafood cravings with a fresh coastal favorite or get an early taste of fall with a seasonal classic—both available for one week only.
This week’s Chef Specials feature a warm balance of late-summer comfort and elevated classics. From crisp small plates and rich, seasonal soups to expertly paired entrées, premium hand-cut steaks, and single-malt pours, every dish is crafted to pair perfectly with our extensive wine and spirits collection. Save room for dessert—and enjoy your evening with us!
