Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Raleigh

Karen Z. • May 23, 2019Lettuce wraps, crispy pork belly noodle soup, & cocktails over "shaved ice"! 👍🏼

Allan P. • February 13, 2016Four cheese ravioli is amazing! Loved this place. Romantic as well.

Ayana G. • April 28, 2017Alexa salad, chicken pasta soup, chicken tenders and macaroni and cheese is bomb! For dessert the carrot cake is amazing!

Sam M. • February 23, 2019Skip Angus Barn, Vinnie's has much better tasting food. Bacon wrapped filet is the best in the area, and the mac and cheese is divine. Make sure to make a reservation, it gets crowded.

Jessica T. • September 2, 2015I could've eat here every day. The kale salad is the best kale-anything that I've ever had. Chicken shawarma with the garlic paste is off the charts. They offer gluten free pita!

Michael F. • January 4, 2017Meticulously crafted pastries alongside a menu of equally delicious savory dishes. Casual café atmosphere to share a cup of coffee and a delicious snack. The "Dixie Cannonball" is awesome!

BigSquid • January 2, 2013Simple, hip, comfort food....you'll love it!

Stef R. • March 23, 2015Morning bun and prosciutto and Gruyere croissant were amazing!

Ella L. • August 9, 2016The pizza is so good! I love their crust!

Julio V. • January 13, 2016Love the coconut almond crunch ice cream. It's like eating a frozen Almond Joy. They also make milk shakes from any ice cream they have. Yum!

Kristen H. • August 14, 2013Awesome customer service and really yummy donuts and sandwiches!!!

Megan F. • May 26, 2016Definitely a favorite! Love the simplicity, they know they're stuff!

Justin 📍 • September 6, 2018Great vibe and fantastic drinks without being fussy. The Aperol gimlet was 👌

Courtney F. • December 22, 2013Bone marrow was my favorite! Amazing!

Kyle B. • June 1, 2019Killer guacamole, chicken pastor, black beans and house margaritas!

Daniel P. • February 4, 2015Great draft selection and solid - albeit sometimes emulated - vintage game selection. I'd imagine vintage cabinets cost lots o'cash. Either way, awesome 'brotime' spot.

Jessica T. • May 24, 2016Guacamole is fantastic and fresh. We like the chip and dip platter.

Melanie W. • January 29, 2017I was pleasantly surprised by this diner. Everything was delicious, well-priced, and the service was excellent.

Laas • May 7, 2015The lunch special combo is a great deal! An entree, rice/noodles, and an egg roll for $6.25. Make sure to try their sesame chicken!

James W. • October 11, 2011Best subs to b found anywhere

Kaitlin • August 8, 2014I haven't had a bad thing on the menu yet, and the novelty shop upstairs with lots of iconic southern and North Carolina items is very fun to browse!

Mike B. • December 14, 2016Probably the best restaurant in Raleigh. Loved what Scott Crawford was doing at Standard Foods but this is a step up. If there is one dish you must get, then it has to be the Charred Octopus. KILLER!

Ellen M. • January 27, 2016Drinks and bartenders are amazing. Great food and atmosphere. One of my favorite places to go in Raleigh!

Meghan D. • June 24, 2021You can’t go wrong with the chopped BBQ!!
