Comfort Food Restaurants in Raleigh, NC

“I’ve been here before and the service before was 5 star and 5 star food - would recommend to everyone. This time, unfortunately, was very disappointing and they must have really just had an off night - we came for a special birthday and they didn’t have MANY of the side items (no fries, no sweet potato cups, no carrots, no butternut squash soup, etc) and service was ok. Our birthday boy had to wait at least an extra 10-15 minutes to receive his burger after they got the order wrong - we all wanted to wait for him and most of our food got a little cold. The broccoli he ordered was very undercooked (he said it was raw, but it was just slightly steamed). Never refilled the tea drinks - not sure if it was free refills, but it would have been nice to ask. They also didn’t have two of the desserts we wanted to get, either! (No chocolate cake or peach & raspberry crumble. I’ll probably be back but was very disappointed this time - if it was my first time I might not would have wanted to come back. Luckily, I’ll give them another chance since I’ve had such great service and food in the past.“

“You know it’s going to be good when the table comes stocked with molasses which pairs so well with the buttermilk biscuits. The little girls’ favorite was the garden fresh corn on the cob. The only thing better than the food is the service! Thank y’all for making us feel at home.“

“One of my favorite places in town. Ben’s stalwart Gussie’s manages to tick so many seemingly disconnected boxes - great bar, with inventive cocktails. But a comfort food local place. Or maybe a beer geek temple - for those who know good breweries that aren’t trendy but were solid 20 years ago and still frigging are. Someone knows. Yeah Budweiser maybe could be upscaled a little but someone knows Lawson’s and 3 Floyd’s and even tonight’s surprise of Festina Peche from Dogfish Head that’s been awesome for what, 25 years? They regularly find things that I’ve not seen on tap in ages. The food - non beef eaters might need a minute but there’s choices there but the smash burgers are a work of art. Cocktails are inventive and excellent and the staff is awesome. A quibble - it’s a loud room so maybe the music could be a smidge lower so people don’t shout over it and it just gets very loud. But that’s a quibble. It’s comfy, it’s familiar, it’s good. Come here. Except when I want to come here because I want a seat at the bar, ok?“

“I love Bob Evans because of its homey atmosphere and great variety of tasty food. They sell babana bread by the loaf and now offer a slice as a bread option with your meal! Great move Bob Evans! They Staff has always been friendly and attentive.“
