Restaurants in Raleigh

“This was my family and I first time at Alpaca. We should have took a picture of the before and after plates. But we cleaned the plates. The food was fresh and very flavorful. My family and I were amazed with the great staff. But the Manager Eli was top notch with his customer service. He saw use looking like we was lost and he appreciated us with a great smile and a positive attitude. He made suggestions on what to get and different sauces that go with the yuca fries. That green sauce got the perfect amount of spice and flavor. He gave us a sample of the sweet plantains and the yuca fries. We went with the yuca fries. Both were very good.Lomo saltado 5starsChicken is 5 starThe food overall was good. Will be coming back for more”

“I went in for a quick lunch. The cook did an excellent job preparing my food, which was delicious, and was served up quickly. Though Danielle (server) wasn't very friendly, she gave good service.”

“OUR GO TO RECOMMENDATION to every guest who stays at THE STORE!Madre’ never disappoints.Aside from serving a creatively crafted selection of Spanish Tapas, the cocktails, atmosphere, and urban courtyard vibe could not be more delicious or more cool.Tyler, the owner, is both a gracious and engaging ambassador.The charred octopus alone is worth the trip, but the seasonal menu, the attentive service and tony decor exudes Southern progressive gentility.Plus, they’re open 7-days a week and within easy walking distance of Glenwood South—a godsend to our Monday-Tuesday guests.You want to impress somebody?Make reservations at Madre’.”

“I’m struggling on what to say in this review because I’m in an amazing food coma!!The food exceeded our expectations! The service was respectfully slow. They checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was satisfactory, but gave us space to enjoy our dinner.We went for dinner, but they also provide lunch service, which I can’t wait to try!!”

“My man and I went here last weekend for the first time. From the time we entered until we left, we had a phenomenal experience. Our waitress Meredith was attentive, poised and very friendly. The other staff were friendly as well.We ordered calamari for appetizers and salmon+seafood pasta for our main courses. We also had refreshing mocktails. EVERYTHING was delicious and flavorful.The icing on the cake was dining on the rooftop terrace. Although we went during the day, the vibes were definitely there and the views were amazing. We will definitely be back here soon.”

“Lunch Combos are Great! Much BETTER than buffet. Very Good value, very generous portions. Able to substitute any of my favorites into any combo! DELICIOUS! Leftovers are great! #indiancuisine #raleighnc #FreshFood #raleighrestaurants #indianfood #curry #trianglefoodies”

“This meal was supernaturally good, seriously out of this world good, we talked about it so much. Was here for our 25th anniversary and so glad we did. Get the lettuce wrapped sticky rice. Gwen was terrific.”

“Absolutely delicious hot dogs, homemade turkey chili was so good. And was greeted w amazing customer service, very friendly owners. Definitely will be returning.”

“Wow! I was encouraged by the reviews; however Michael made our experience one to remember! He was attentive and genuine. We were celebrating my bday so we started with dessert!! The best benets ever!!! The oysters are fresh and perfectly charred. Gumbo was one for the books. Do not hesitate to eat here!”

“Absolutely outstanding food. The ribs fell off the bone and were incredibly flavorful even without the sauce. but the pernil and black beans... I could probably eat those everyday for the next year and not get tired of those. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and incredibly well cooked. Cannot recommend highly enough!”

“Love this place. Minority women owned. Eco conscious in many ways. Large menu for any time of day. Food came out fast and hot. So so good. Large portions. Very close to Duke Hosptial. Amazing!!”

“Hands down the best sushi you will ever eat. Chef Chris's quality and care are seen in every dish. We have a lot of respect for the Owner who actually works shifts and busts his butt! Two thumbs up to Chef Chris and his amazing food!!!”

“I have enjoyed eating here every time I come to Raleigh during daytime hours. Their food items offer a wide variety of food choices and the amazing taste makes you question if your actually eating their healthy food selections. I also love the Juice Bar menu. I got the "Purple Haze" with vitamin shot and it is so yummy!”

“My first time dining for my husband 50th birthday. Our waitress Destinee was amazing. She provided us with a detailed history of the house where the restaurant is operating out of built in 1879. Destinee made wonderful food recommendations and made our celebration a memorable one. The food was delicious from first course lump crab salad to quail. Our main course dishes were beautiful plated with French influences. Also I have to add their chef is one of the best in the area. We can't wait until our next special celebration. Thanks again!”

“The veggie ramen at Miso Ramen Bar is incredible. Although there aren’t a lot of vegan options on the menu, I can appreciate that they’re clearly labeled and also very flavorful! Service was super quick when I came in on a weekend at lunch, even when they were busy. The portion sizes are extremely generous in my opinion - I have never been able to finish a full bowl of their ramen on my own.”

“Fabulous service at the bartop. Roy's recommendations were impeccable and considerate of dietary restrictions. The food was outstanding and wine pairings complemented well. Highly recommend sourcing from the starters and sides to get the most variety, unless you wish to commit to the steak or full entree. Oysters and acorn squash were a great combo. I appreciated the ability to do a GF dessert (elevated ice cream sundae!) to top off the night. Thank you!!”

“Real food, awesome vegan and gluten free options. Great atmosphere and service. We had an amazing meal.Vegetarian options: Mushrooms, rice, veggies, delicious!Dietary restrictions: Food allergies are taken into consideration upon request.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience! Exceptional wait staff, amazing craft cocktails and the cuisine was phenomenal! Loved the chic ambience! Will definitely return!”

“Right when you walk inside this place makes an impression! It looks like Arizona dering Día de los Muertos, it feels like a dead man's party. The regular salsa is refreshing and I can never stop dipping in it. The food is so good, like the arroz con pollo, which is just like half a seasoned chicken instead of dry white meat. The enchiladas de puebla are also great. My favorite by far is the carnitas, you can't find anything like it on this side of the country. The pork is braised in beer and is just magical. And yes there is a train, and yes everyone loves it. The wait can be very very long on the weekends, but the staff are always very friendly so I never mind too much. It's not too expensive so I think it's honestly the best restaurant in Raleigh for families! They also help promote small business sometimes, like they used to sell really good chocolate for this Columbine guy. Anyway, this place is good and you must go or ELSE! Last thing, I think the restaurant has changed hands because it has gotten way better in the last couple years.Parking: The parking is actually pretty iffy. It gets packed to the point of no spots, but you can just go park in the shopping center.Kid-friendliness: There is a bar but it's mostly split from the tables. Side note, the tortillas are really good ?”

“In a time where great food and great service is scarce, this place is a jewel. I chose this place to celebrate a family birthday based on a great word of mouth referral and the birthday girl loves Indian cuisine. The place is beautiful and clean inside! The atmosphere is upscale from decor to lighting. You relax when you walk in. Did I mention the cloth pressed napkins!! What? The music plus at a volume that adds to ambience but not annoyingly loud do you can’t hear each other talk. It is not too bright, but not too dark either. The food was prepare with attention to detail and tasted delicious. You can ask for no spice if you are not into Spicy food. The service is excellent. The servers don’t hover or intrude, but are right on time for your needs. As I mentioned, we celebrated a birthday. I brought a large cupcake and a candle and had it on the table before guests arrived. The server asked if he could plate it in the back for later. I was so happy for the offer. Later, he came out with this amazing long plate with happy birthday written on the plate in rainbow gorgeous writing. He even lite it as he approached the table. Then a happy birthday song began to play over their sound system! It was so thoughtful and added that specialness to the evening that is hard to find today in the service industry. Thank you so much!!!”

“We had the pleasure of dining here for our Wedding Anniversary. The ambience is fantastic. Every single staff member was friendly and knowledgeable, especially our waiter Dakota! He made great recommendations and made us feel so welcome and celebrated! The oysters were amazing! The real star of the show was the Beef Wellington-if it is on the menu, it is a must order! The filet was cooked perfect! Great wine and Bourbon selection! Can't wait to come back!”

“So excited to finally try!!! Decor was so Miami and we loved it! GM was star player in establishment. Carpaccio was one of the best I ever had. We did dover sole as Mid course it was good but way too many bones def just need better execution. Steak was excellent but we never received any of our sides which was ok we over ordered. Desserts were great cheesecake we even got second to go it was so yummy. Paid for but never got our dessert wine cause we felt bad saying something twice. Espresso martini was ok. Wine list great, whatever the lilac cocktail I had was in beginning was so good I got two. Server was a doll which made up for all the things that never happened. Watching open kitchens usually makes me crazy but in this case it was very impressive. Few things to work on, but overall for NC good job!!!”

“Stopped at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. If you're a vegetarian your options are really only salads or the butternut squash ravioli, but don't let this deter you from coming. The butternut squash ravioli was the best ravioli I've ever had. It was rich and creamy with the perfect mix of mushroom and sweetness from the squash. The marinated avocado salad was delicious as well. I don't usually like blue cheese but it was very mild in this dish. The people I was with ordered the pot pie which they said was great. The service was also great and everyone was extremely friendly. Would 100% recommend.”

“the food was awesome, we had ribs, brisket, pulled pork, nachos, wrapped jalapeños, and the best wings ever. the Habenero sauce was not hot, it had just the right heat to it and the Buffalo sauce was amazing. Great service, we never had to flag down our waitress. Great job”

“While visiting Raleigh, we stopped in to this delightful hot honey chicken eatery. I had the Carolina Reaper. Advice: Get the sauce on the side. It is a spicy devil. My everlasting love for eternity got the classic, which we split, of course. We shared fries with 2 different aioli sauces. We also shared a side of Mac and cheese. A little dry but quite tasty. No drinks or desserts this time, but I'm sure we will be returning.”

“We were pleased and surprised to find that almost everything on the menu was healthy and fit our current diet.Dietary restrictions: Their current menu is all healthy choices with several gluten free , vegetarian or vegan options”

“Genesis was the best server! She made sure everything was on point & we were good the whole time we were at the restaurant ! We will be back very soon and anytime we want Bonefish we will definitely choose the North hill location??”

“This was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed this as a birthday celebration. Very interactive and comical. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a fun evening out to try this. I would do this again. Great fun.”

“Nothing beats a passionate chef. Tonight was my first experience, and it's only the beginning! The staff was amazing and did not make me feel rushed. 5-star plus. I've never been to a restaurant where all the mussels were open and full of flavor until Northside Bistro. It was impressive and absolutely delicious, and they also serve some of the best cocktails I've ever had!”

“Great restaurant with awesome service! The duck egg rolls were very good. I thoroughly enjoyed the Nasi Goring crab fried rice. Their coconut and banana cakes were the perfect end for dinner! Definitely a recommend!”

“Awesome experience. The food, service and value was outstanding--Justin was great! Our third trip in over the last 6 days. No reason to go anywhere else! My birthday was made special”

“This was a fun place to stop on our roadtrip and the bourbon tasting did not disappoint! So many to choose from! The food was good but I wasn’t a fan of the shrimp and grits (preference only). A little to Smokey in the tomato sauce. I would totally recommend it if you are looking for a fun place!”

“So tonight me and my mother came out to eat here at Denny’s and I our waitress was name Nicole she was excellent very attentive very patient with us and she made sure we was OK. She greeted us with a smile and she apologize for us having to wait. You don’t find good service like that anymore. She was excellent and for that we will be back.”

“X marks the spot for another tourist attraction I found on Google that didn't disappoint me at Boylan Bridge in Raleigh. The view of the city is unbelievable. If you're looking for the perfect shot of the capital, this is the spot! I’m talking about both ground and aerial views. It offers a perfect urban backdrop with plenty of walking space on this bridge. Make a note of this location if you want to capture that amazing shot of the city!”

“Sarge's sauce made my shrimp and grits easier and more flavorful than my usual recipe. I simply sauteed chopped onion, bell pepper and garlic, added Sarge's sauce and chicken broth, and then added the sauted shrimp. I plated it by putting it on top of my cooked grits and then topping it with a bit of chopped tomato. Yum!”

“Went here traveling through and I’ve always loved Waffle House, but this one made me realized why I loved it. The waitresses were amazing and food was awesome!!!!!”

“Just finished a 7 hour overnight drive from Philly and wanted to check out waffle house for the first time. Our server Sharron was fantastic, attentive and super friendly. Food came out quick and tasted great! Not to mention as soon as we walked in the entire staff greeted us. Would definitely recommend!”

“I ordered the French toast slam, totally delicious! The coffee was fresh and hot, even though it was late afternoon. My husband really enjoyed his omelet. Our server was able to juggle all of the tables herself and still provide great service!”

“The food is very tasty. Of course, it depends on who is cooking at the time, but so far, all the ones that made the food during my visits were quite good! They are very quick in meal preparations. The servers are so friendly. Thyme ensure to provide all you need, sometimes before you even get to ask. Sometimes it can be a little noisy atmosphere wise. The pricing is fantastic and there is ample parking.”

“We Love The Waffle House, Being Eating At Waffle House For Over 40 Year's ❣️Keep Up The Great Work, Waffle House, Personal ?Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, We Appreciate The Handicap Accessibility, Because My Husband Is Handicap, And We Sometimes We Just Want To Set And Enjoy Our Meal. Just A Great Place To Eat And Enjoy Yourself ?”

“Girl with orange short hair and a visor was very sweet and the staff today were excellent. 10/10, don't listen to these one stars lmao. Just international Karen's.”

“I come here often and I love the service but there is something strange going on with one night crew member…I get the same thing every time so I know what the price is. A couple of times I have went recently, they don’t put the order on the screen and up charge me for a larger fry. I noticed this when my order was a couple dollars more than usual..I asked for a receipt because I wanted to see what was going on, had to ask multiple times and was told it was in the bag, it was in fact, not in the bag. I don’t appreciate that.”

“I would definitely recommend this location over any other location I have ever been to especially late at night because Kwame is always amazing makes the best food, a killer McFlurry and always goes above and beyond for his guest and it’s always fresh food at that keep up the good work ?”

“I like the new kiosk ordering system y’all have, it makes life a little easier. But, this location seems to forget when a drink is on the order...almost every time. Also, lately they don’t even bother taking the food to the table anymore and just holler out the number. Which is fine but I thought the table locator was for a reason lol”

“The drve thru got my order wrong andmade me pull up and wait, but the food I did get tasted very good. I recommend this store, but I also recommend checking your order before you leave.”

“This McDonald’s consistently gives great drive-through service they’re quick they’re courteous, engaging and it’s not something you find at most McDonald’s. Kudos to their hiring and training managers at this location.”

“The do it yourself kiosk is a dream. It's hard for me to explain what I want so being able to simply type it in is amazing and the food hits us fresh and hot and the staff is absolutely ”

“they have the best chai I've ever had perfect amount of spice. they're cheddar and chive biscuit is ginormous and flaky and fluffy and delicious. but the real highlight? Is there macarons they are the most heavenly thing I think I've ever eaten.”

“My daughter and I had dinner here and were in love at the very first bite!! The owners were just lovely! Their passion for success shows in each dish they cook. It was nice hearing other tables enjoy their meals and commenting on how amazing it was. Not one negative comment!!”

“I walked up on 321 coffee at the farmers market, I ordered an iced coffee and it was definitely one of the best coffees I’ve had. It was a cute little booth set up, with great customer service & good prices. I highly recommend!”

“Good for what it is. Food was solid felt like a chipotle or Moe’s inside and I wasn’t a huge fan of the salsa. But that’s just me. My tacos were very good.”

“Ever first watch I've been to has always been an amazing experience. This one especially takes the cake ? it's a lovely atmosphere always fresh and always right on time.”

“A Place At The Table Raleigh is the greatest place not only to eat with all the delicious food (especially the Cinnamon Rolls), but also to volunteer since there is always something to do. I rate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“강추Best quesadilla I've ever had.The person who looks like a manager is very old to me. They have good service, and the peanut sauce was really interesting. I liked it.”

“This establishment exceeded our expectations by far!! The food was absolutely amazing and the service was beyond my wildest dreams! These people cater to every detail especially our waitress Bottie. We had a birthday celebration with about 20 guest. Everything ran smooth and the vibes were amazing! I can’t wait to come back! Do not hesitate to make a reservation or grab one of their specialty drinks from the bar!”

“I really enjoyed my first time at this food hall. It’s completely different from Morgan st food hall in terms of the atmosphere and food options. Its not as crowded and its not as much noise around you. I was pleased with the space. There is indoor seating with upstairs options and outdoor seating. Food was prepared fast and tasted great”

“Absolutely phenomenal! Tonight was our first time trying Torchy's and it will definitely not be the last. Awesome vegetarian options that packed a ton of flavor. Mike and the entire team were so patient with us as we asked questions and had a sincere interest in ensuring that we were happy with everything. thank you all for an outstanding experience.”

“man nothing to say here but the food was amazing. i didn’t care for the cassava greens but everything else was amazing even the box mac and cheese was as good lol so here is my gradeJollof rice 9 out of 10Mac & cheese 6 out of 10okra soup 8 out of 10eggusie soup 9 out of 10cassava greens was flavored good but the texture is not my cup of tea 2 out of 10oh yea the texture of the fufu was different but still good.great job will definitely be back. that price is high but goat is expensive. keep up the good work”

“I love the burgers here at Burger Village. There is something special about them that makes you come back again and again. The Burgers here are not ordinary but at a different level altogether. I would highly recommend this place. They also have a good collection of the draft beer.”

“The restaurant was well kept and organized. They have a simple menu and allow you to customize your own pita, rice or salad bowls with a lot of protein or vegetarian options. It’s similar to CAVA - and perhaps I’m naïve to great Mediterranean foods but I would prefer CAVA in terms of their flavor profiles.”

“We went for valentine's dinner and had a great experience. The portions were great. The ambience was warm and quiet. The service was very attentive and responsive. We loved our waitress. The decorations matched the setting. The food was great and dessert even better. My one gripe was that it seemed a tad expensive, all things considered, but definitely an enjoyable night.”

“My wife and I celebrated her birthday with dinner at Cortez last night. Overall it was a great experience! The only nit would be we waited 10-15 mins after being seated for our waitress to stop by. The rest of the night more than made up for it.We ordered oysters, several small plates and shared the taco plate. The food was delicious and delivered at a good cadence, so we were not inundated with plates all at once. The food was prepared perfectly, tasty and fresh.As I put a note in our reservation that it was my wife's birthday, they kindly provided a free champagne toast and a churro with ice cream dessert with a candle. My wife was thrilled!!This was our second time dinning at Cortez, and both times the meals were excellent. We are looking forward to our next visit!”

“**No pets allowed! Research and teaching farm!**A 329-acre dairy farm with tours and a museum with interactive educational experiences, but we came for the ice cream, which is amazing, and had a great time! The Creamery has a porch with tables, rockers and Adirondack chairs, a lawn where kids play, and cow watching. Inside they sell the classics, coffees and smoothies, take home pints, Howling Cow merch, and, at the holidays, their famous egg nog. I had a Tuffy's Special, which was the March student creation. It was so good! I really hope they make it a permanent menu item. The whole family enjoyed their treats. The staff even provided a lid for the banana split without us having to ask. Can't wait for our next chance to stop by!Kid-friendliness: working dairy farm with tours, museum with interactive educational experiences and a lawn for play at the creamery”

“We love coming to Sean’s! Today we came in to try the new Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. 10/10 did not disappoint, had a great spice to it and the chicken was very juicy. Sean’s always hits and if you haven’t tried this place , you def should ! Great food , great service!”

“Their pizza was incredible, one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had and I’ve been addicted to pizza my whole life. Lol I got the Milton’s specialty pizza and wow I was blown away!”

“Excellent coffee. The fact they use real caramel and not caramel flavoring makes a huge difference. The coffee itself is sooo much better than Starbucks. Great place to sit and sip and work.”

“This place was great! We came on a Sunday night and the bartender was friendly and nice. He was attentive, and made recommendations. As for the location, it’s well kept with plenty of space.The drinks themselves were amazing, with a wide selection to choose from. Fairly priced as well though it can be tricky not to get carried away so be cautious.A nice touch I noticed was that the bathrooms contained mints and mouthwash for one to freshen up. All in all, it was a nice experience and I’ll def be back again.”

“I’m saying “yes” I would recommend in hopes they will get better. The girls where you order were very friendly and took our order correctly. We received our coffees, one wrong (cream was added but not requested), one right. We can deal with that. Our food order got lost and they had to remake but on the 3rd try we just took the wrong items because we were convinced it would never be right. Great location but please have more attention to details and get the customers orders correct.”

“I highly recommend, friendly staff and excellent service. Worth every plenty and more. I will support everytime. First time grabbing food from this spot and I am amazed at the taste!!”

“I'm thrilled that they moved close to us. it's a great place to go alone and read or write. Raleigh Writer's Group meets there and the owner is very accommodating. Healthy foods and delicious drinks. Friendly staff.”

“My wife and I have been coming here for a while, usually most Sundays after church. The food here is amazing, the atmosphere is very friendly with fast service, and we are always treated very well by the friendly people who work here. I tried the fish tacos for the first time ever today, and they were excellent. The burritos which I have eaten before are stellar as well, and the refried beans are very good. The salsa and cheese dip that is available with the complimentary nachos are very good, and not too spicy at all and the rice, tamales and enchiladas are very good too. I am thankful for such a delicious meal after church, and can't wait for more ahead.”

“Lots of food, good selection. The service was ok.There are so many guests especially on Sunday and so it's not a very nice environment as such but definitely a good experience for what it is.Lots of parking, convenient to get to.I enjoyed it but not my thing.”

“I went there today and sat in the drive thru for a while because it was right at lunch time. I was on my lunch break. When I got to the window I realized I forgot my wallet. Instead of saying sorry we can’t give you this, the lady at the window was so nice and said she would talk to the manager. She came back, handed me the food, and said merry Christmas! I didn’t mention I’m 3 months pregnant but I really appreciate what they did!!”

“good flavored wings. The mac and cheese is flavorful and cheesy. Collards are good, I added a small bit of vinegar and tiny bit of sugar becaise thats how I like mine. The yams are SUPER GOOD! KOOLAID is A-1❣️ The guys are always friendly and energetic. 9/10. i DO recommend.”

“Solid Peruvian style chicken! Juicy good flavors. Had the yuca fries, tostones and Maduros for sides, all very good. The order was ready on time, hot and packed nicely for take out. The place looked spacious when I went to pick up the order. The sauces are both very good, the green sauce wasn't too spicy. Very similar to Alpaca's.”

“Lot's of reasons to LOVE Caribou. Good coffee (regular coffee - not the crazy stuff) is really good! Relaxing atmosphere makes it a great place to relax or meet with someone (personal or professional). No snooty attitude from the very friendly employees!”

“Customer service was good. I asked instead of bacon for extra onion straws. They drowned the salad with them. I was expecting just a double of what they normally put, not double of the size of the salad. Hence the reason I only gave 4 ”

“Great atmosphere, service, and food. All staff goes the extra mile starting from the hostess to the valet. It is pricey but so worth it. The food is fantastic with impeccable service. Free complementary valet. Be sure to tip they rely on it.Parking: Free complementary valet. Be sure to tip they rely on it.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide doors and walkways”

“The service was phenomenal, exceeding all expectations. Amber was so personable and friendly as our server. They even surprised us with a happy anniversary card and gift of chocolates.”

“Just arrived at North Hills from D.C. and stopped at Cucciolo for drinks and a bite. Proper. Steady, well executed and inventive. Absolutely gorgeous space. Vieaux Carre perfectly prepared. Effortless sophistication.”

“Took 25 minutes just to get a drink, then got salads (warm) an hour in. Steak which cost $85 was cold. Server failed to tell us about the specials. Sub par service ands then had to tip 20% bc we were a party of six.”

“Confectionate Cakes did my wedding cake and it was sooo delicious! We had enough cake for everyone at our wedding reception but had numerous guests asking for a second piece! Thank you Laura for the delicious cake and memories!”

“Absolutely amazing! Everything we order was delicious. (BBQ wrapped shrimp, Chicken Oscar top with lump crab, Grilled Pork Chop& Ribs). Service was great and our server was very courteous and attentive. A+”

“Ray made one of if not THE BEST cocktails I’ve ever had. Asked him to base it off of a thin mint shot, and he made it 10000x better. Wish i wasn’t just here on vacation. Would love to come again.”

“I have never had such an attentive and friendly staff, everyone was so nice and helpful! Everyone worked as a team to give all guests a pleasant experience. I came from out of state to try this place out, and I am so glad I did! Will be a future customer and have already told friends and family about this restaurant!Parking: Plenty of parking and easily accessible.”

“Our first experience was a little rocky as we went in on a busy Saturday for brunch with a group of 10, BUT the food and drinks were so awesome we came back the next day as well! Our waitresses were funny and kind, the prices are reasonable and the restaurant itself is adorable. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars is because we had called ahead to get on the waitlist and were told our table would be ready at the time of our arrival, only to wait for another hour before being seated. In spite of that, the staff was nice and we enjoyed our visit overall.Dietary restrictions: They have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options as well as gluten free and heart healthy foods.Kid-friendliness: Our waitress was exceptional with the little one we had with us (age 2). They offer high chairs at the restaurant.”

“Meat and Bite is an excellent place to eat. Their food is always fresh and on point with excellent customer service. I always feel very welcome when I stop by. Definitely one of the best burger places in town.This place is halal. It is very convenient for NC State students as well. I would gladly come back.Dietary restrictions: Halal.Parking: Parking is limited. Might need to use paid street parking a little fartherKid-friendliness: Menu has items that kids tend to like.Wheelchair accessibility: Would need assistance opening the door. Parking is very limited and might have a lot of space for an electric wheelchair to go down a minivan”

“Great vibe! Mixologist Jefferson skillfully guided our craft cocktail selections. Impressive knowledge, real ingredients. At his recommendation we grabbed a couple of slices (authentic NY pizza) from Oakwood Pizza Box next door, that did not disappoint!”

“In a search for an amazing cheesecake for my boss - I found Royal Cheesecake. What a gem! Not only do I love that they are a small business but the cheesecake was amazing. We ordered a gluten-free crust and I have to say was delicious and even better than a traditional crust. Will absolutely be coming back.”

“Just one of the best Indian restaurants in the entire triangle. All of the dishes are cooked to perfection and served hot and with the spice level you desire (from no spice to HazMat!). The service is incredible. I just ate here for the, what, tenth time since they’ve opened and I am still in love.”

“The service is wonderful, bartender never fails! The atmosphere is fair, there are a lot of children present in afternoons each time I have been and it’s exhausting. The kids throw balls on the picnic tables, they scream and run around when people here are wanting to relax.The cider here is wonderful, it’s just unfortunate this place seems like a playground for children.”

“Typical southern breakfast fare. Wait staff extra friendly. The hot cakes are absurdly large. Personally would stay away from the ham with the red eye gravy (salty ham drippings mixed with coffee). Eclectic atmosphere with antiques hanging from ceiling.”

“We had a family get together at the Raleigh Beer Garden on Sunday afternoon and it was just delightful. Brie was incredibly accommodating and wonderful, as were all of the Beer Garden staff. We had the most wonderful set up and all of our friends and family wished they lived in Raleigh and could go to the beer garden more often!”

“My daughters and I ate here on a whim. It was amazing. Really great service, really great food. We will definitely come back. It was a little expensive but worth it as the food is made fresh and too order. It is a really tiny space though, so I imagine during peak times it gets packed. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. We had a tonkatsu ramen, rainbow roll, and two different bao buns with some extra sides. It was seriously good food.”

“Best First Watch in the area. Clean, fast, good customer service. I've come here with co workers during work hours and friends on the weekends and the service is consistent. Food is great and never hurts my belly. The fun drinks are awesome, morning mediation and purple haze are expensive but sooo worth it!Dietary restrictions: Shows all allergy information online, so helpful!!Parking: Lots of parking and freeKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible ramp to enter, level floor, table options, good handicap parking.”

“This is my favorite stop when I’m in town. The owners and staff are amazing, the service is great, and the food even better! Having a one of a kind vegetarian menu this big is amazing. I just wish I was in town more often to try all the things! I was in for lunch a few days ago during a rush when they were short-staffed, and the owners stepped in to handle the surge. We had amazing service. Seriously the best all around.”

“This was my first time dining at Bowlba Cafe. My family that stays in the neighborhood had pretty good reviews so I wanted to try for myself. The Bowlba ramen was really good. The Lumpia and Gyoza were also really good. Everything came out piping hot which I appreciated !”

“Visited after Sunday church service. It was crowded. But food was worth waiting for. Happy location at Tower shopping center is still open. Other locations in Raleigh area have closed lately.Wheelchair accessibility: It is on 1st floor no steps. And they have attendant to help carry tray to table”

“The new management is wonderful! The food is delicious! The wait staff is great! Great atmosphere and people! We love this restaurant and go often! Used the event room there for a couples shower and was perfect in every way!”

Food is great and never hurts my belly. The fun drinks are awesome, morning mediation and purple haze are expensive but sooo worth it!Dietary restrictions: Shows all allergy information online, so helpful!!Parking: Lots of parking and freeKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible ramp to enter, level floor, table options, good handicap parking.”

“Excellent service, an excellent place to share with friends, the spectacular Kareaoke, 100% recommended, Johanna excellent service as a host. Come and enjoy the patio restaurant??”

“My husband and I were just visiting the area for the 1st time out here and decided to stop by. This was by far the best ever. Everytime we come this way, we will stop by always. The vibe, the customer service, the food. 5 stars all across. The owner and Co owner spoke to us and just made us feel so comfortable. They were so humble and nice. Thanks again guys ☺️☺️”

“I’m struggling on what to say in this review because I’m in an amazing food coma!!The food exceeded our expectations! The service was respectfully slow. They checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was satisfactory, but gave us space to enjoy our dinner.We went for dinner, but they also provide lunch service, which I can’t wait to try!!”

“Amazing food truck. Great restaurant to pick up food from. Very good experience every time I've gotten the food from there at least 25-30 times and the different locations he's been ”

“This place is mildly addicting. My husband and I couldn’t stop eating here over the summer over the summer. Only reason I gave the food 4 stars is because the queso is kind of fake. However, if you get chorizo in it it’s pretty good. The quesadillas and tortas are amazing. The salsa roja is not meant for consumption it’s insanely spicy. Order extra green salsa though.”

“Ever first watch I've been to has always been an amazing experience. This one especially takes the cake ? it's a lovely atmosphere always fresh and always right on time.”

“OUR GO TO RECOMMENDATION to every guest who stays at THE STORE!Madre’ never disappoints.Aside from serving a creatively crafted selection of Spanish Tapas, the cocktails, atmosphere, and urban courtyard vibe could not be more delicious or more cool.Tyler, the owner, is both a gracious and engaging ambassador.The charred octopus alone is worth the trip, but the seasonal menu, the attentive service and tony decor exudes Southern progressive gentility.Plus, they’re open 7-days a week and within easy walking distance of Glenwood South—a godsend to our Monday-Tuesday guests.You want to impress somebody?Make reservations at Madre’.”

“Absolutely amazing! Everything we order was delicious. (BBQ wrapped shrimp, Chicken Oscar top with lump crab, Grilled Pork Chop& Ribs). Service was great and our server was very courteous and attentive. A+”

“I came in to Sullivan’s to pick up my birthday lunch and met Ricky at the bar, he was up beat and very personable. I asked his opinion on my choices, he gave his honest opinion. I walked out with the business lunch (get more bang for your buck) and the bananas foster bread pudding for dessert. If you don’t know Sullivan’s gives a 25 dollar gift certificate for your birthday when you sign up for their rewards program, sign up if you haven’t already done so!!Thank you Sullivan’s and Ricky for my birthday gift.”

“Ethan at Mulino is a true gem of a server! His attentiveness and genuine care elevated our dining experience to new heights. Bravo, Ethan. You made our evening unforgettable. Grazie mille!”

“This place was recommended to my group who were briefly in Raleigh for a conference. The service was great for our big group, but I did not like Carolina chop BBQ at all. My favorite thing on my plate was the fried chicken. Everyone also raved about the meatloaf. Everything else was a hit or miss. It's worth a shot.”

“Going back there brings back phone memories of 20 to 25 years ago when I used to frequent it those years ago. Back then, there were very few good eateries in Raleigh. 42nd street still has the old charm and the uniqueness that couldn't be lost. The staff and service is top-notch and will make you want to come back.The food was not as good as I remember, but still a great meal. I've been exposed to so much since those happy times, but so glad i had a chance to go back.”

“The food and drinks were delicious. However, once we were seated, it took over 30 minutes for anyone to even come to our table. No welcome, no water, no “I'll be right with you”, nothing. However, once the server came over, he was very nice and attentive. The service was great (once we got it).”

“Birthday celebration was memorable. We'll definitely return. The three of us tried Chicken and Waffles, Steak Ceasars Salad, Smash Burger all were delicious, adult beverage was on point. Our waitperson was attentive which helped make the experience enjoyable. Parking is challenging, so give yourself time for your reservation. Only negative was the washroom sink sprayed out all over clothes washing hands, bummer.”

“I have enjoyed eating here every time I come to Raleigh during daytime hours. Their food items offer a wide variety of food choices and the amazing taste makes you question if your actually eating their healthy food selections. I also love the Juice Bar menu. I got the "Purple Haze" with vitamin shot and it is so yummy!”

“The service was EXCELLENT and the portions were HUGE! Best Arnold Palmer EVER! Thank you for a wonderful evening. The staff went the extra mile for our pre-theatre dinner.”

“I liked it! The food was good and its alot of choices. Slightly overwhelming menu but they have something for everybody. Server was excellent! All in all we had a great time.”

“I have been hearing rave reviews on tik tock and online. So I took my lady to try it out. The risotto balls were just "ok" to me. The Chopped Italian Salad was excellent then the star showed up....the Chicken Parmesan. The Chicken Parm was also excellent . The service was excellent. We had a great time.”

“This establishment exceeded our expectations by far!! The food was absolutely amazing and the service was beyond my wildest dreams! These people cater to every detail especially our waitress Bottie. We had a birthday celebration with about 20 guest. Everything ran smooth and the vibes were amazing! I can’t wait to come back! Do not hesitate to make a reservation or grab one of their specialty drinks from the bar!”

“We were there last night with our soccer team so it was around 40 people. They sat us in the tent area and Christian was our server/bartender. He did AMAZING!!!!!!! We were all shocked how he was so efficient and fast with serving that many people. He made great drinks too!!!”

“I have never had such an attentive and friendly staff, everyone was so nice and helpful! Everyone worked as a team to give all guests a pleasant experience. I came from out of state to try this place out, and I am so glad I did! Will be a future customer and have already told friends and family about this restaurant!Parking: Plenty of parking and easily accessible.”

“My wife and I visited Mandolin for her birthday yesterday and we had a wonderful time. Great atmosphere. You can see the kitchen. Waitress was very attentive and polite. Food and drinks were exceptional. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Raleigh. Would highly recommend.”

“Absolutely delicious food. Been to many Mediterranean restaurants in Raleigh and this is by far the best. Additionally the service was incredibly friendly and prompt. Will definitely be coming back very soon.”

“Figulina has done an excellent job transforming the Humble Pie space into a pasta-making Mecca. You can watch the chefs hard at work making wells in dough and forming the sheets for ravioli and agnolotti. Our service was a bit spotty but the food was wonderful. We tried the Doppio Ravioli, which was delectable with roasted carrots in half and rabbit confit in the other. The Pappardelle Bolognese was also hearty and flavorful. We also tried the Brussels which are served in a cold salad and the beets with whipped ricotta. My dinner companions did not love the soda bread that came with the lamb rillette but the dish itself was tasty. We will definitely be back for more of the fresh Italian pasta with an English twist!”

“Best customer service I had in a long time. Brianna was a great server, ask for her. My friend and I went on a Wednesday evening, it was busy but comfortable. They had a live artist. The art all over the walls create a really nice vibe. The kitchen was a little slow but nothing too serious considering the crowd. The drinks aren’t worth the price but the food… amazing. A week later and I’m still thinking about the peach cobbler. Will definitely be back.”

“I RARELY give out full five stars but Zaxby’s deserves it! We go there at least once a week (my husband and I) and order the loaded (chicken bacon ranch) fries! It SAYS a side item but it’s more of an actual meal than a side. I LOVE them and can’t get enough!! Way To Go Zaxby’s!Kid-friendliness: They DO have a kids menu!”

“We came here on a Thursday night and was suprised to see they had daily specials! it was $4 off rolls (was a little disappointed it wasn't off speciality rolls as it didn't specify which rolls), but we still got 1 speciality roll & 2 traditional rolls. It was delicious! But the star of the show was the salmon crispy rice. The presentation was great but the crispy rice was phenomenal, so many delicious flavors and textures packed into a bite and a pretty good price. I would come back just for that. Yatai is located in Transfer co food hall and was easy to find. We ordered at the counter and then decided to sit at one of the tables. Loved the ambiance. I definitely would recommend this place and will be back again!”

“So excited this place came to the East Coast.. Another banger from Southern California (used to be called Wings N' Things)! My family loves this place. The strips with breadsticks are to die for with the ranch dressing. Something about the combination of the three.. The staff here have all been extremely kind to us when we have got or orders to pickup. We did have an issue with the correct amount of breadsticks however it was quickly taken care of and they even gave us a treat due to the mix up. Very clean bathrooms and lobby area.”

“I visited the other two Incendiary locations and enjoyed them both. I had a random Saturday available, so my daughter and I decided to check out the Raleigh location. We were not disappointed. The taproom is awesome! I'm not sure what the lighting in the bar is supposed to be, but it looks like lava, and that's pretty cool. Incendiary brews a ton of amazing beers, so that was never in question. The staff was awesome and we had an amazing time. I highly recommend this place to any craft beer drinker in the triangle.”

“- Clean Place.- Easy to order and navigate through the menu.- Great Korean Chicken!!- Friendly Staff. They added an extra coleslaw for me and agreed to serve me even though they were going to close.And it’s not crowded yet since they just opened!!Great experience 10/10.”

“We wanted pasta and bread but didn’t want to sit down at an Italian restaurant. This was the perfect quick dinner. Kinda of reminds you of Chipotle/Cava but for pastas. They have bowls and wraps too but their garlic Parmesan bread was amazing! They made our salmon to order so there was a little bit of a wait but it was worth it— the best FAST CASUAL salmon we’ve ever had! ?”

“Went with the family to celebrate our granddaughter’s Sixteenth birthday at the Crocker Park location. It was a wonderful experience. The appetizers and entrees were yummy. The service was great. Was a wonderful evening.”

“UPDATE: I have the pizza another chance after realizing the first time I had the pizza, I was sick due to COVID which coincided with the timing of the pizza. So my apologies.The pizza made us sick. We had loose bowels and throw up middle of the night. The flavor of the pizza and wings is legitimately good though.”

“Every time I order for pick up, always the best customer service, great atmosphere. The food is always delicious and crave for more. Wonder team at that location.”
