“Surprisingly delicious! I have ate here a few times. The cali-burger is my first burger that I try here. 1 of the best burgers I’ve had. It’s located near NCSU and if you can get by the traffic, it’s a nice find for a fresh delicious burger. There’s plenty of other order selections to choose from, so try it out 😎“

Everything about this cafe and the experience AND the food. Fresh, delicious and delectable. This is a must stop by or order out. I had the Alpine with chickpeas and couscous and my friend had the Piedmont with beans and chickpeas. Definitely will return!!“

“I love it!! Everything super delicious and fresh!“

“We ate here during the Fall Open House event and they were overrun with customers and orders. They were staffed appropriately and everyone was working really hard to get the food out. The wait for our order was about 10 minutes which I considered a miracle with as busy as everything was. Our order was perfect, the lady bagged everything quickly and I think they did a wonderful job.“

“Best Salad EVER! Wish they had one closer to me. 🥗. I would eat there every day! Please bring Crisp to Kinston.“

“Great hangout with a nice menu. I highly recommend the potato wedges. Their beer selection and unique offerings like their fried green tomato with mozzarella (I call this a southern caprese salad) make the Station worth a visit and worth the extra walk from wherever you have to park.“

“First time eating here and the food was great! Will definitely go back.“

“Great atmosphere, good outdoor seating, and the food was fresh and flavorful. The tomato soup and grilled cheese were definitely the standout. Drinks were refreshing, service was friendly, and overall it’s a great casual spot to meet up with friends.“

“Hiding under the Hudson building, I came upon Manhattan Cafe by accident, but the popularity of this packed breakfast and lunch cafe is no accident. Everything is made daily and with orders. Donuts, paninis, hand tossed salad, even daily soup. You get your picks to fuel yourself for the busy working days.“

“We order takeout from this location often and it is very good. My mom orders the cauliflower crust and I get traditional. We have had their salads and wings which are both very good as well. Tonight I needed help because I am handicapped and was unable to walk in easily to pick up my order. I really appreciated that Krystal was so kind and carried it out to me. The service and food here is always good but her help was especially kind tonight as they don’t do curbside pickup.“

“Steve’s Place is that hidden gem you don’t play about. Every time I stop in for a Taylor ham, egg & cheese, it feels like I’m back home in New Jersey. The food is always fresh, the vibes are friendly, and the service is quick — exactly what you want in a breakfast spot. If you need a real, comforting meal that hits every time, Steve’s is the place.“

“The service and food is always superb. The collard greens were very flavorful.“

“El Salsa is such a solid go-to in Raleigh. The food is consistently good, portions are generous, and the service is always friendly. Plus, you can’t beat the free salsa when you sit down—always a nice touch. Perfect spot for a casual meal.“

“Delicious Thai cuisine and very friendly serving staff! A Favorite!“

“The Pad Thai and the Dan Dan Noodles are delicious! The service is always very fast. Nice atmosphere where music playing overhead. I definitely recommend.“

“We have been coming to Brixx for years. And tonight the pizza was AMAZING! Bebe and Joe made the greatest Margarita Pizza I have had in ages! We always expect the best bar service from DJ, Kendal, and Kaylee, but tonight the Pizza was top notch! If you have not tried this place, you should!“

“yummm. need one in Pennsylvania!!!“

“Ordered online on our way into Raleigh from out of state. Arrived and staff was very sweet. They informed us they were out of the type of noodle in one of our bowls and provided us with the other types of noodles to use instead. We arrived 15 to close so that’s completely understandable. The staff was quick and very kind. We got into our hotel and both agreed this was the best quality we’ve had from noodles & company thus far! Everything tasted amazing and our bowls were full with correct ingredients! I’ve often had issues with noodles being over cooked at many places but this location was perfect!“

“We have been going to Dominic's for years! The pizza is delicious. Everything else is just as good. The staff rocks and the location is beautiful around the pond. Live music on weekends and always a smile and great service inside of Dominics. Give it a try! You'll LOVE it!“

“Chicken salad is delicious!!“

“I went here and the food was good. Nothing that will blow your mind, but the food is fresh and is tasty. I got the Meze Platter, which was a nice assortment of different appetizers. The Tzatziki sauce and hummus are very good. Kind of works with anything on your plate. I got the Greek Bowl with chicken kebab. I enjoyed the rice and chicken combo. Still good and the kebab was alright. Lastly I got the Yeero Platter with Lamb. So good. I honestly wished there was a bit more lamb. But it was still good. Just know this is not a sit in restaurant, it’s apart of a food court. But I recommend it to anybody that needs some fast food and wants Greek.“

“Some of THE best pizza I've ever had! We drive an hour just to come eat this pizza. The cheese is my absolute favorite but the chicken bacon ranch is awesome too!! Can't go wrong with any choice!“

“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!!“

“We tried the breakfast bowl. It was delicious.“

“Food and service is always good“

“My wife and I walked down to Smokey Hollow for a late lunch /early dinner. We were quite impressed with La Cucina. We had the Bianca Pizza which was top notch (the crust was nice and crisp). They also had my favorite Raleigh Brewing IPA on tap. The pizza chef came out to ask us how it was, and also offered us to taste their marinara sauce which they offer on their pasta (next time). All in all, I recommend these guys highly.“

“We were visiting our family in Raleigh and we tried it for the first time, one of the best dinners we’ve ever had out. Food, service, and atmosphere were all amazing. We will definitely be trying to reserve another dinner here next time we are in town!“

“Stopped in real quick to have the soup salad and bread sticks and the service was great. A little bit of a wait to get a table because I think they might be a little under staffed as there were a lot of open tables. But the service was great, we got refreshed on salad, soups and even bread sticks quickly. Our waiter came by regularly to check on us and see what we needed more of. We'll definitely be back next time when we have me room for pasta as well.“

“We just left and were quite impressed with how Paris and Frances were managing the entire dining area. The simply refreshing part is they both looked like they were totally enjoying their jobs. Before leaving, I told Frances they were both doing great jobs. She replied “We are trying. There’s two of us. Please come back and see us again!” I was so surprised. Nobody tells you that anymore. Great job Chick fil A for hiring these two!“

“Tuesday evening my husband and I went to Jason's Deli for dinner. Instead of my usual Muffalatta I tried a turkey wrap and a cup of chili. The wrap was very good but, the chili was the BEST that I have ever had !!! Next time no sandwich, just a bowl of that AMAZING chili. Better than my homemade.“

“Nice small deli if you work at any of the buildings around Highwoods. The sandwhich was reasonably priced. You can definitely get a meal (drink, sandwhich and chips) around $10. To find the place you go past the parking garage, sign in at the front, take the elevators down to Floor one and make a right when you come out. The place is very clean and cozy. A hidden gem.“

“Met Jess today! What a kind friendly soul! Very willing to accommodate extra requests. Give her a raise! The food was fresh made and delicious! Tucked away and hidden, I almost don't want to review because I don't want share a secret great spot for breakfast and lunch, but here I am! Great job David Leach and Holly Hopkins. Keep doing this great fresh food! Thanks!“

“Muy deliciosos, excelente lugar 😋“

“Their Pot Stickers are very Good.“

“Highly recommend! They actually load it up with toppings!“
