The vindaloo curry was delicious and spicy enough to be worthy of the name. The lamb korma was expertly done as well. Service is warm and friendly!

Came over here bevausd other reviewers raved about this place plus lamb appetizers were mentioned.

Unfortunately, it’s no longer in the menu so are the carribean inspired ones. So I ordered their lamb dish with a side of roti bread. Whoever their chef is knows his/her wares. Flavorful and I can taste its simmered for hours. The roti wasn’t enough to sop up the juices so I ordered their naan which has a buttery crust. Yum!

Oh for drink, try their spiced mango lassi. A hint of nutmeg would take it to the next level but it’s refreshing regardless.

Five Stars – A Hidden Gem with Incredible Food and Service!

Rank and File Gastropub blew us away! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch. Our server was not only attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, helping us make the perfect choices. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. It was so delicious we didn’t even get a chance to take any pics. We just dug right in.

The portion sizes were just right, and everything we tried was bursting with flavor. To top it all off, the owner came by to personally check in and chat with us, which made the experience feel even more special.

This place has so much potential, and we can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu. If you’re thinking about visiting—do it. You won’t be disappointed!

Fabulous describes the food at Rank and File. We ate at this new restaurant Friday evening and ordered the menu tour; everything was superb. Our two favorite dishes were the oxtail and butter chicken, but all the food was delicious. The beer and wine lists were extensive – many labels new to Goldsboro. The service was impeccable; Erica, Serene, and Matt answered all our questions and were great hosts. We intended to go for a quick supper, but we stayed two and a half hours because we were having such a good time. Other patrons were enjoying themselves too; the atmosphere was casual and fun. Nothing stuffy – just wonderful food, great hosts, lots of laughter. We’ll be returning to Rank and File, our new favorite restaurant, soon. Hope to see you there!

Everyone needs to check this place out! Chefs, beers, wine all changes up, so there’s always something new to try. They do keep some of the tried-n-true staples on the menu, but check their website for new rotations or pop up items! The food was fantastic with a lot of flavor and soul in there. We’ll definitely be back soon!

My friend and I had lunch here on Friday. The draft beer selection was great! We did the Tour option and shared it and were both completely satisfied with the amount of food that was offered, especially for the price! We both thought every single dish was delicious, but the Butter Chicken was both of our favorites! I love Indian and Jamaican foods and usually I’m not able to eat very many things on those menus because I’m a wimp with spice. Nothing I ate was too spicy for me here, but everything had a little kick to it. I’m not as versed in Jamaican food, but I eat Indian food in almost every big city that I travel to, including the UK. Love that they are cognizant of better ingredients and many items are gluten free. Excellent option for Goldsboro! Will definitely be returning!

Rank and File Gastropub: A Global Gospel in Goldsboro

You walk into Rank and File already off balance in the best way. This isn’t your usual Carolina comfort—no hushpuppies, no pulled pork in sight. What hits you instead is the aroma of jerk spice chasing cardamom through the kitchen door. This is Indian-Jamaican fusion, stitched together with soul and fire. And in a town like Goldsboro, it feels like both a revolution and a homecoming.

The tasting menu read like a borderless hymn book—each course a verse in a song sung low and rich, in kitchens far from here but familiar in soul.

First came the naan, warm and blistered, a soft landing for what was to come. Rice and beans stood up next, humble and fragrant, stitched with the kind of care that makes you quiet. Then braised cabbage—silky and spiced just enough to make your brow rise. A little heat, a little funk, the kind of dish that doesn’t ask for attention but earns it.

And the jerk wings? Mercy. Smoky and sticky, fire on the lips, but the kind of heat that hugs instead of harms. A Southern boy might call ’em barbecue wings with a passport. I’d call ‘em a sermon in spice.

Then the courses marched in, proud and unapologetic.

Lamb korma, lush and slow-simmered, like velvet with backbone. Butter chicken came next, creamy and coaxed into balance, each bite whispering about distant lands and shared cravings.

Chicken biryani followed, layered like a Southern casserole, but scented with cardamom and clove instead of cream-of-mushroom. You didn’t eat it so much as you mined it—each forkful a dig into something deeper.

And just when you think you’ve tasted the best they’ve got, the oxtail slides in—unctuous, fall-apart tender, the kind of dish that makes time irrelevant. Followed by Jamaican curry chicken, bright and bold, dancing with ginger and thyme, a dish that winks and says, I see you, and I brought the heat.

This wasn’t just a meal. It was a diaspora on a plate. It was the story of migration told through flavor, of cultures braided together by fire and patience and love of a good sauce.

Rank and File could have played it safe. Instead, they threw the map out the window and cooked from the heart. And Goldsboro is better for it.

Great place (Food, Staff, Beer, ambience, etc.)
Food: Love that it changes the menu cuisine. I believe it had the Cajin or Caribbean chicken sandwich (Corssant) with side salad, it hits.
Beer: Nice selection some I haven’t seen before
Service: Attentive, staff/owner seem personable. Gracious

Felt inclined to immediately leave a review of this place! The place is clean with a lovely ambiance. Our server, Serene, was so sweet and attentive. We both got the menu tour because everything sounded amazing, and boy was that the right choice because everything was delicious! I am sensitive to spicy food and only the Bombay chicken biryani was a little too spicy for me. We also added on a garlic naan and roti and both were extremely tasty! Then, even though we were quite stuffed we had both desserts and thought they were really good as well. I recommend them and we will be back!
