Prices are low, ranging from 6 to about $12 per person depending on what time of day and week that you go. The selection is large for a price that low, but the - [Daylight Donuts](https://demandy.com/daylight-donuts/) - 4 out of 5 stars On the scale of density, with Krispy Kreme on the feather pillow end and Dunkin Donuts in the middle, these are on the other side of the spectrum. They are denser but still completely enjoyable and delectably fresh. The coffee is also good, not near dunkin quality but waaaay better than - [Bella Monica](https://demandy.com/bella-monica/) - Bella Monica 3 out of 5 stars Bella Monica was recommended to me by a number of people as a lovely place to get some Italian food. Other reviewers have commented on the amazing pizza but that one should try all of the dishes. I do wish I had gotten to try the flatbread, as it seems - [Brigs](https://demandy.com/brigs/) - 4 out of 5 stars I went to Brigs with my husband two weeks ago and we really enjoyed it. It was crowded on a Saturday morning, which is always a good sign. Service was quick, food was bountiful and very reasonable, and the only thing that stopped us from eating more was being crazy full. - [Shabashabu](https://demandy.com/shabashabu/) - 4 out of 5 stars This place is hip and has a great amount of selection of interesting Japanese and Thai food. My husband and I tried mostly sushi selections, including their interesting take on dynamite (a non-spicy version with tasty smoky freshly grilled fish). I had a great time trying to photograph my husband as - [Mellow Mushroom](https://demandy.com/mellow-mushroom/) - 5 out of 5 stars Mellow Mushroom has amazingly tasty pizza with a feather soft crust. The claim to fame, according to the pizza box, is using fresh spring water and hand tossing the dough. The gourmet pizza selection is tasty (Kosmic Karma and other funky sounding choices) but they also have a nice selection - [Red Robin](https://demandy.com/red-robin/) - 4 out of 5 stars Red Robin has a Friendly's-like decor with lots of bright colors, balloons for the kiddies, and comfortable seating. But the quality far surpasses Friendly's pedestrian fare. If you feel like a milkshake, they've got some of the dairy dessert stuff to satisfy you. Red Robin has great, speedy service and - [Gateway Restaurant](https://demandy.com/gateway-restaurant/) - 4 out of 5 stars The found out about Gateway Restaurant on restaurant.com. We went with our $10 certificate, hoping to find another diner which this area seems to be short on compared to where I used to live. This diner is not near our apartment but we were headed downtown. It's in a shady - [Carmen's Cuban Cafe and Lounge](https://demandy.com/carmens-cuban-cafe-and-lounge/) - 4 out of 5 stars I have been missing Cuban food since we moved here from Florida so Glen and I headed over to try out Carmen's. We got a reservation on Friday night and experienced very good service - food came out very quickly and drinks were attentively refilled. The short story is that - [Five Guys Famous Burgers](https://demandy.com/five-guys-famous-burgers/) - I had heard this place offered some of the best burgers in town although I can't remember which website I read this on. The only local Raleigh burgers I've had the chance to sample since I've been here are Char Grill, which are delightfully charred on the outside, albeit a bit thin and small. Five - [Fiesta Mexicana](https://demandy.com/fiesta-mexicana/) - 4 out of 5 stars Fiesta Mexicana is one of my favorite lunch places to dip off to from work. The lunch special that I normally get ends up being about $7.50 including my drink. They have about 20 lunch specials to choose from, all under $10 and the food comes out quickly and is - [The Big Easy](https://demandy.com/the-big-easy/) - 2 out of 5 stars The Big Easy has an extensive menu but despite this and the creative atmosphere, my friends and I were disappointed. Service was a big part of it, which may have been a fluke. There were eight of us and our waitress delivered wrong meals and was missing one meal - - [Oliver Twist](https://demandy.com/oliver-twist/) - 4 out of 5 stars Glen and I came here for our 2 year anniversary and it was delightful. Mood lighting was cool, with red fabric hanging from the lighting and a decor using lots of fabrics and pillows. They have a Monday night dinner special that we didn't decide to go with - $35 - [China Court](https://demandy.com/china-court/) - 1 out of 5 stars We ordered takeout from here because it's near our new house. Not sure if we will again. Disappointed by the garlic beef (which came without the rice he said that it came with) and the chicken chow mein combo. Fried rice was a bit peppery but otherwise flavorless. Hot and - [Greek Fiesta](https://demandy.com/greek-fiesta/) - 4 out of 5 stars Greek Fiesta is a roomy Mediterranean place in the expansive shopping center of Brier Creek. After a horrible experience at North Hill's McAllister's Deli I needed a quick bite to keep up with our trash can shopping expedition. I had a tasty falafel pita and was on my way. Good - [New York Bagels & Deli](https://demandy.com/new-york-bagels-deli/) - 3 out of 5 stars This is a good place for when you need a quick bagel fix and the squishy soft bagels at Bruegger's won't do. It's disorganized, the ladies who work there always seem confused, the coffee sucks, but they have the closest thing to a NY bagel you'll find in the area, - [Hayashi Japanese Restaurant](https://demandy.com/hayashi-japanese-restaurant/) - 4 out of 5 stars You might not expect much by looking at the exterior of this place as it's relatively meek in this strip mall (albeit a new strip mall) across from Wakefield Commons. But inside you feel like you've stepped into a whole Japanese experience, with cool stone walls and wood floors. The - [Carolina Sushi & Roll](https://demandy.com/carolina-sushi-roll/) - 4 out of 5 stars Ever in search of a better sushi joint, Glen and I stopped here, excited to see a nearby alternative to Tokyo House. It seems to have a Hawaiian theme inside, with a neat sunset type of painting technique on the walls. We also thought the lanterns and candles decorating the - [Buffalo's Southwest Cafe](https://demandy.com/buffalos/) - Updated Review: 8/2/20103 out of 5 stars for breakfast The new breakfast menu at Buffalo's is small but I did manage to find a yummy-sounding treat, the blueberry and cream cheese-stuffed Texas toast french toast, which came with 4 pieces of crisp bacon (or sausage) and choice of starch. I chose home fries, of course. - [Laku](https://demandy.com/laku/) - 3 out of 5 stars I am so tired of mediocre sushi in this town! Laku has a nice atmosphere and has a lot going for it in the Japanese cooked food and dessert selection, but not much exciting in the sushi selection. One of my favorite types of sushi is white tuna, which wasn't - [Kanki](https://demandy.com/kanki/) - 4 out of 5 stars I stopped here with a friend for sushi after a shopping excursion and was pleasantly surprised by the sushi. They have a large selection and they let you order half rolls, which is something I'd never seen before. The wait for the cooked food was really long but we were - [O'Dwyers Irish Sports Pub](https://demandy.com/odwyers-irish-sports-pub/) - 3 out of 5 stars A typical local pub with better than average ambiance because it's a little newer than some others. Affordable beer, decent service and ok food. We loved the mozzarella sticks, they are huuuge. Fried pickles, not as much but good potato skins. That's about all I can say, we just tried - [Pita Delite](https://demandy.com/pita-delite/) - 3 out of 5 stars This place is one of our regular stops because of my addiction to the pitas and hummus and hubby's affinity for the Camille salad. It's not groundbreaking stuff, basic salads with shredded lettuce and feta and dressing, topped with chicken. But it's cheap and it's fast. I've had the gyro, - [Locopops](https://demandy.com/locopops/) - 5 out of 5 stars Finally I've gotten to try the much-anticipated Locopops since they have opened in Raleigh. They've existed for a while in Chapel Hill and Durham. It was a rainy gloomy afternoon but we saved room after dinner and headed over to Hillsborough. The shop is surprisingly simple inside. A white board - [Crazy Fire Mongolian Grill](https://demandy.com/crazy-fire-mongolian-grill/) - 2 out of 5 stars We've been here twice now so I've had a chance to sample both the sushi and the mongolian grill. This place is a strange cultural intersection with a haphazard decor style with a kinda of depressing run-down feel to it. They have sushi, although it is just ok, and then - [Assagio's](https://demandy.com/assagios/) - 3 out of 5 stars Assaggio's has a decent selection of Italian food that you can order at the counter and have delivered to your table. The menu ranges from sandwiches and pizza to pasta entrees up to about $20. I ordered a meatball sub and ended up enjoying the tasty (non greasy) garlic rolls - [Remington Grill](https://demandy.com/remington-grill/) - 3 out of 5 stars Remington Grill is a counter service joint specializing in burgers and bbq. It's not gourmet, but the burgers and pork sandwiches are tasty, and the crispy fries are perfect dipped in their special mayo sauce that tastes a bit like french dressing. The atmosphere is ok here too, it's western-style - [Sawasdee Thai](https://demandy.com/sawasdee-thai/) - 4 out of 5 stars This is the best of the Raleigh area Thai I've had so far, but admittedly that doesn't mean much since I've only been to one other place. However once I managed to find my way to this tiny little place in a neglected strip mall, I was impressed by the - [Fortune Palace Chinese Restaurant](https://demandy.com/fortune-palace-chinese-restaurant/) - 4 out of 5 stars Stopped here for lunch with co-workers - the caveat is that I ate at the buffet, which we all know is not something you should judge a place on. While the decor is somewhat typical - mismatched pastels and randomness, service was brisk. What I liked about Fortune Palace was - [Penn Station East Coast Subs](https://demandy.com/penn-station-east-coast-subs/) - 3 out of 5 stars With a name like Penn Station, I hade hopes that this place could whip up a tasty Philly cheesesteak. However, I didn't particularly like mine. It was decent quality meat and had a tasty roll but the steak was over-peppered. I did enjoy my fries, they were clearly fresh-made and - [Jason's Deli](https://demandy.com/jasons-deli/) - 4 out of 5 stars Jason's has a selection of 8-10 soups each day, plus head-sized baked potatoes, a salad bar and then a large amount of sandwiches to choose from, including a healthy menu that doesn't sound like rabbit food. I've had an amazing portabello mushroom sandwich with a side of fruit and salad, - [Jumpin Jonny's Steaks & Subs](https://demandy.com/jumpin-jonnys-steaks-subs/) - 2 out of 5 stars Being from Philly, I have been suckered into trying some pretty crappy cheesesteaks. This was one of them. Soft squishy bread (it should be a crispy Italian roll, preferably hearth-baked, i.e. Amoroso's) and overly peppered beef led me to leave the second half of the sandwich. Meat quality was average. - [The Oxford](https://demandy.com/the-oxford/) - 3 out of 5 stars The Oxford bills itself as a gastropub, a place where one can sample beers from around the world as well as enjoy a higher class of food than a standard pub. The menu is full of delicious-looking foods with a decidedly International flair, though it does include shepherd's pie and - [Dominic's NY Pizza](https://demandy.com/dominics-ny-pizza/) - 5 out of 5 stars Dominic's was just what the hungry work lunch crowd needed on a sunny Friday. Once we eyed the cheesy white pizza with ribbons of spinach and chunks of tomato, all three of us had to try a slice as part of the lunch special. Despite that already tasty combination of - [Crabtree Tavern](https://demandy.com/crabtree-tavern/) - 5 out of 5 stars I had a chip on my shoulder about Crabtree Tavern because I have been so often disappointed by "upscale" taverns, including the Oxford. But it turned out to be a perfect lunch outing for the family, seated on the patio with our new baby. It has a suprisingly green view, - [Buffalo Brothers](https://demandy.com/buffalobros/) - 2 out of 5 stars Buffalo Brothers just opened a new location near Rex Hospital, so hubs and I decided to go check it out. Unfortunately Buffalo Brothers ended up fitting the generic sports bar mold. Lots of TVs, drink specials, and uninspired food. Not that I was hoping for the latest gastronomic techniques. Just - [Firebirds](https://demandy.com/firebirds/) - 5 out of 5 stars I've been to Firebirds (@FirebirdsGrill) three times now, two of which were occasions when it wasn't planned. We simply wandered in. A recent visit was for a much-deserved date night with some friends, taking up an offer for babysitting. The decor inside is what I would imagine an upscale lodge - [Larry's Beans](https://demandy.com/larrys-beans/) - Local Roasteries, Part 2 Larry's Beans has recently started to offer more tours of their Raleigh facility, and hubs and I were lucky enough to score a spot on the most recent tour on October 23. Larry mentioned it would be the last tour of the year until April or so.

A coffee shop inside of a parked double decker bus! The ground floor has been reworked to include a few bar stools and the top still has seating and some additional decor items. We stopped here for a tasty cappuccino and a bite - [Don Pan](https://demandy.com/don-pan/) - 4 out of 5 starsNeat little International (Spanish) Coffeeshop/Bakery My husband and I stumbled upon Don Pan looking for a quick breakfast one day and really enjoyed it. They have a selection of specialty coffee drinks, specializing in Cafe Cubanos, as well as a large bakery case of breakfasty danishes and snacks and many choices - [Krankies Coffee](https://demandy.com/krankies-coffee/) - 4 out of 5 stars We loved the space that Krankies Coffee occupies, the old brick building, the steam punk ambiance. They also get street cred get by roasting their own coffee in the shop and selling by country varietal instead of weird blends of flavors. It just felt like a place that would be - [Yokohama Sushi](https://demandy.com/yokohama-sushi/) - 2.5 out of 5 starsHole in the wall sushi My husband and I stopped in to Yokohama for a quick bite of sushi because we were starving and we had that craving.

On both occasions the food was mediocre and the service was average or worse. The décor is neat, and the place is large. They can accommodate banquets and large groups in their dining hall in the back. The menu consists of - [Cucina d Angelo](https://demandy.com/cucina-d-angelo/) - 5 out of 5 starsThis hidden treasure in Boca has delicious Italian food and a list of specials every night so long that it probably would take up a whole peice of paper. You can dine at an outside table in the courtyard shared with Big City, or sit indoors. When I came here with - [Pepper Mill](https://demandy.com/pepper-mill/) - 5 out of 5 stars The food in this humble pizza joint is consistently good. I like to come here when I am back in my hometown for some great cheesesteaks, strombolis, or some fried ravioli appetizers. The interior is small and basic and the parking can get crazy sometimes. But even at breakfast, the selection - [Pamela's](https://demandy.com/pamelas/) - 4 out of 5 stars My visit to Pittsburgh was not complete without a visit to Pamela's. When I lived here I frequented the one in Oakland, but we visited the Shadyside location on this trip.The major bummer was the wait. We arrived late on Sunday so we caught the church crowd, arriving around 1PM. - [Los Tres Magueyes III](https://demandy.com/los-tres-magueyes-iii/) - 4 out of 5 starsThere's not a whole lot to say - this place is small but was packed on a Tuesday night.

Watch out though, - [Sushi Jo](https://demandy.com/sushi-jo/) - 5 out of 5 stars!Best Sushi in Palm Beach CountyIf I do say so myself, this place has the best sushi around. The sushi is always impeccably fresh and the rolls are inventive (and they rotate unique special rolls daily).

They have a cute outside terrace area and an inside area that is decorated to also look like it is outside, with a streetlamp and flowers in windowsills. The authenticity wanes because the - [Rotelli Pizza and Pasta](https://demandy.com/rotelli-pizza-and-pasta/) - 3/5 stars Rotelli's is a decent casual pizza and pasta joint (chain). They have very affordable lunch specials, from about $6 to $10 including a drink. The pizza is not bad. Better than most chains but not as good as Pizza Rustica. But Rotelli’s strengths lie in their ability to deliver above-average service and above average - [PA BBQ Grill](https://demandy.com/pa-bbq-grill/) - 2/5 starsI am not a fan of PA Grill. The ribs are tasty but not unique in any way, and they can sometimes be a bit dry. I have tried the pulled pork sandwich, which was extremely dry. It came without any sauce on it so that I could douse it with my choice of - [Giorgio's](https://demandy.com/giorgios/) - 4/5 stars We considered Giorgio’s as a location for our rehearsal dinner. We came and enjoyed such a wonderful and filling meal here that my husband (fiancée at the time) and I were feeling a bit ill when we left. You know you’ve had a good meal when you ate so much and could not stop - [Melting Pot](https://demandy.com/melting-pot/) - 2/5 starsWhile the food at Melting Pot is tasty, it is nothing that you couldn’t easily create at home. Everyone is surprised when they taste my homemade fondue because it is fabulous and easy to do. But Melting Pot certainly has it down. You simply can’t pay more anywhere else for such a predictable meal. - [Saki Room](https://demandy.com/saki-room/) - 3 out of 5 stars Delray's Saki Room is pricey, needs honing Saki Room is a new restaurant next to my favorite sushi place in town- I had to check it out. Menu is much more inventive and more expensive. Decor is of the same vein, beautiful dark woods, contemporary style, but has a hip vibe - [Bizaare Cafe Second Level](https://demandy.com/bizaare-cafe-second-level/) - 4/5 stars Bizaare's Second level takes it to another level My husband and I went out for dinner here (upstairs from the Bizaare Cafe on Lake Ave in Lake Worth) with another couple and really enjoyed our meal. Prices for entrees range from about $15-$26, and the portions were large. We all ordered a fish dish. I - [Yovana](https://demandy.com/yovana/) - 4 out of 5 starsFreshly made yogurt at YovanaYovana is actually a concept store from TCBY that serves fresh yogurt (non-frozen) as well as their frozen yogurt. I got some for a quick bite at the Charlotte Airport on my way through and the yogurt is awesome! They told me it's plain yogurt but it - [Hugo's](https://demandy.com/hugos/) - 5 out of 5 starsDelightful Mexican BrunchI met my friend Connie in Houston for the weekend, not because of the giant mall (although we did go there) but because it's the only place we could affordably meet halfway between South Florida and Salt Lake City. I did heavy brunch research beforehand and we ended up - [Restaurant Google Map](https://demandy.com/restaurant-google-map/) - Restaurant Google Map -All my South Florida favorites, indexed by location ! - [Mama Dip's](https://demandy.com/mama-dips/) - Mama Dip's 3/5 starsI brought some Brits here who were in town for the week and they loved the experience. I got to try some fried green tomatoes, which I loved, and they got to learn about hush puppies, cornbread, and biscuits. I had the chicken fried steak. It was pretty good but I expected a - [Hereghty](https://demandy.com/hereghty/) - Hereghty Heavenly Delicious3/5 stars Good cappuccinos, pastries I felt were overpriced for the quality. Neither my husband nor I particularly enjoyed our $4.50 pastries. I didn't finish my chocolate caramel tart, it was too rich. I normally am a glutton for any kind of dessert but I just didn't enjoy mine. Husband's was light and airy ## Pages - [My Favorite Triangle Restaurants](https://demandy.com/top-triangle-restaurants/) - The best food in Raleigh, Cary and a little bit beyond When I first tell people I am a food blogger, the first thing that they ask me is, "What is the best restaurant in the Triangle?"
