Reviews
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.
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!
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.
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
