I am moving to raleigh in 2 weeks, my father is coming with me to help with the move, I want to take him to a couple of good local restuarants. any reccomedantions? Nothing fancy, expensive just local fare...bbq or anything... also any places too see visit on a short visit.. I was going to take him over to the ray price dealership because he has a Harley and loves going to different shops???
I will be in the 27604 zip code..but we dont mind a little ride for some good food and fun.
Any ideas for anything we can do and places too eat please share... He will be here Sunday through Tuesday.
I would definitely take him to Big Ed's in downtown Raleigh. Its in City Market off of Moore Square. They serve excellent country breakfast and their lunch is good as well. They are open for breakfast & lunch M-F, breakfast on Sat and closed on Sunday. Its been a while since I've been there, but Sat mornings they always had a Dixieland band playing outside. Be sure to get the grits & red eye gravy. Delicious!
Barbeque Lodge in Mini-City (off of Capital/US 1) and Clyde Cooper's BBQ (downtown)are good for eastern Carolina style pork BBQ.
The Restaurant at the State Farmer's Market is good too and the Farmer's Market itself is fun to check out. Lots of produce and gardening stands.
That's all I can think of right now--I'll try to think of more. Definitely do Big Ed's though--we take everybody there when they come to visit us for the first time.
On Tyron Road???????????????? I was just there the other week.
My bad, I'm talking about the one Raleigh. That is the one that closed. You are correct about the one on Tryon Road in Cary. That one is open. I will edit my original post.
And when you go, tell the Pitmaster Ed Mitchell that he sure did look good in this month's Bon Appetit magazine!
