Like most restaurants I eat at, I’ve been hearing reports of Winston’s Grille, located at 6401 Falls of Neuse Road. We pass by quite often and my boyfriend often craves the Bananas Foster dessert here. We decided to go the other night and I was looking forward to the experience! We ordered the Tomato and [Continue]

After a long day at the beach on Father’s day, we were starving. We’d gotten home pretty late and nobody wanted to cook. We didn’t feel like fast food so we decided to head over to Sawmill Tap Room. It’s pretty close to us and you can eat on the casual dining room side of [Continue]

It was a hot night after enjoying an amazing concert at the downtown amphitheater when my boyfriend and I realized we were star.ving. We’d already had dinner earlier in the evening (518 on Glenwood) and then we were off to see Mumford and Sons (my favorite band in the whole world but that’s beside the point). [Continue]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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 [Continue]

So we were sitting around a few nights ago, wondering what to do for the evening. We didn’t feel like watching another movie and definitely didn’t feel like hitting up the mall. We decided to meet up with some friends downtown and the unanimous vote was for the Busy Bee Cafe. I’d never been before [Continue]

On Friday night my man and I decided on Applebee’s for dinner. It’s in a real convenient location for us: right at Triangle Town Center off of Old Wake Forest Road and Capital Blvd. (map) It was pretty early when we arrived – just after 5 or so. It had already gotten dark and chilly [Continue]
