What may possibly be the best pizza. Ever.
Before I write up this review raving about our new favorite pizza joint, let me say that we don’t get paid to lavish praise on any local restaurant. We just do this cause we like food, we like to eat, and it’s nice to share with others when you finally find that one place that... Continue reading→
Wang’s Kitchen: Delight or fright?
If you can’t tell already, we love Chinese food. We can’t get enough of the tangy sweet sesame chicken, the dreamy creamy crab wonton, the fluffy and sticky white rice or the steaming hot and oh-so-good egg-drop soup (to name a few dishes of course). So when we were craving Chinese food the other night,... Continue reading→
Tap City North Raleigh – tapped out?
If you like beer with your dinner, Tap City may be your new best friend. Tap City is located in the Falls Village shopping center, just off of Falls of Neuse Road (there’s a Chick-Fil-A there and a Panera Bread). We’ve been excited about this location because it’s nice to have a more local bar... Continue reading→
Red Bowl North Raleigh – is it our new fave?
We love Chinese food and have tried most of the restaurants in the North Raleigh area. We’ve had a few hit and miss visits with local spots, but so far none were consistent with the quality of food for our order. What we thought was the best dish on one visit was too dry or... Continue reading→
Tap City North Raleigh – North Ridge Area – Falls Village
WOW. Finally a bar right here close to where we live in North Raleigh. As I was taking Hunting Ridge Rd. to Falls of Neuse the other day I noticed that the group who owns Sawmill Tap Room, Falls Tap Room and a few others is opening a spot right above the Panera Bread in... Continue reading→
Champs – Champs or Chumps?
I really like to eat at locally-owned restaurants more than the larger chain restaurants, but sometimes you want something in particular from a chain, or it just happens to be the closest spot and you’re hungry *now*. Such was the case last weekend – we were out at Triangle Town Center shopping when we realized... Continue reading→
Rudino’s Bar-mosphere
It’s June and love is in the air. Well, at Rudino’s last Monday night there was! A friend of ours got engaged and the groom-to-be surprised his new fiancee by throwing a surprise engagement party following the proposal. A bunch of friends met up at Rudino’s Rooftop Bar to congratulate the happy couple. What seemed... Continue reading→
Sawmill Tap Room
Wow are we stuffed! We just ate lunch at the Sawmill Tap Room, located on Lead Mine Road at Sawmill Road. We hadn’t previously been here for lunch and thought we’d check it out since we were looking for some good burgers and sandwiches that went beyond both fast food or chain restaurant styles. It’s...

Sonic: ice-cream debacle of Spring 2010
Dear Sonic: Guys, you need to figure out what goes on at your Atlantic/Millbrook Raleigh location. Seriously. Last Sunday night we all packed into the car, ready for some cold yummy treats after a great warm weather day. We drove all the way to Sonic because we figured they’d have the best selection for the... Continue reading→
Grand Asia Buffet: Not so grand?
Last week for a little fun night out, we went out to eat at the Grand Asia Buffet on Six Forks Road in the Celebration Station area. The restaurant looks pretty big from outside and we’d heard the food was good. We love Chinese food, so what could be better than buffet-style Chinese? We arrived... Continue reading→
