Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Raleigh

Allicat22 W. • January 26, 2017Great cocktails - The BOB, the smoked turkey, and city smoke are favorites. If you like bourbon and whiskey tell Joey what you like, he loves to help you find new favorites!

Susan G. • April 13, 2012The red pepper Gouda soup is to die for. Smoothies are just as delicious with no sugar or Splenda since they use real fruit!

The News & Observer • July 31, 2012You certainly won’t forget the soul food classic, chicken and waffles: an exquisitely juicy breast with a shatter-crisp crust and a buckwheat waffle with braised mustard greens.

Andy M. • April 1, 2014Meal was delicious from start to finish. Fried green tomatoes and arugala salad were a great starter. The seafood grits was outstanding but very close honorable mention to the catfish.

MJ B. • February 13, 2012Hands down the best Chinese Restaurant in Raleigh. Food is always good.

tom p. • October 18, 2017The calzones are incredible, also enjoy the chef salad. I always get delivery, they are fast, order is always correct, and the delivery personnel are very nice.

Ben M. • January 11, 2015Awesome lunch spot! Lots of fresh, modern, and classic southern dishes for any occasion. In the mood for beer? Try the Tupelo Honey Ale - great with lots of different dishes!

Emily S. • January 14, 2017Dense, rich and flavorful cake. Not overly sweet like a 'typical' cake. Quaint atmosphere. Helpful staff.

Nami • January 17, 2020Baristas are incredibly friendly!

Melissa G. • October 22, 2014Brick oven broccoli, cast iron goat cheese (ask for extra bread), spicy sausage & black pepper honey pizza finish with chocolate budino.... amazing

Ethan M. • February 14, 2018Good service. Clean and fast.

Emilie M. • June 3, 2016Can't go wrong with the romaine salad + chicken, shrimp taco, short rib taco, short rib nachos (with a friend), queso, skinny girl marg.

Conner H. • March 22, 2015Definitely the best tea shop in Raleigh; lots of imported teas of very high quality. You can have a specific tea made for you in the shop and get a 10% discount on the drink if you buy the tea leaves.

Kristen • August 26, 2012Good, large place to sit and study. If you sit outside, almost everyone is willing to chat with you. Amazing coffee, and the place sends out good vibes.

Brandon M. • May 7, 2016So many doughnut and biscuit choices, I haven't found one I didn't like. Delicious!!

Conner H. • November 10, 2014This is the new Japanese restaurant in Cameron village and I will certainly be back many times. The sashimi is especially high quality with great presentation; some orders they will bring out on ice.

Vincent L. • January 11, 2018The more I go, the more I like. Had the California Steak salad today. Enjoyed it thoroughly! Finally, a place that makes salads people can eat efficiently!

Sam S. • January 29, 2011Vanilla with bananas, caramel, and anything chocolately!

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!

Erin W. • June 2, 2015Love Flying Biscuit at C V. Great breakfast, brunch or lunch as well as the fabulous biscuits with homemade apple butter they bring. Just call ahead on getting on the wait list, always packed

Tamara • December 13, 2011Must get the Volcano Roll! Best in town! 700, Spicy Scallop, and Bahama rolls are a must by recommendation! Friendly staff and nicely Asian inspired dining room!

Kaitlin • May 20, 2016A great second location for one of the best coffee shops in Raleigh!

Yelena S. • January 28, 2015The best chai tea around. Not too sweet, with a variety of great teas. Earl grey chai tea latte is the best of the best!

Joe B. • April 18, 2011Best baklava in Raleigh!

Alex H. • March 17, 2017Chicken salad and korma are my favorites. Portions are substantial and you can easily get another meal of leftovers. The only problem is that it's so good that I usually don't end up with leftovers.

Jeff A. • October 21, 2012Coconut 7 layer bar is off the chain!!!

James S. • January 13, 2019Great place to head for a dinner sport on the weekend. The sweet potato Fries and tea the best.
