Irregardless sucks.

3/29/2012 5:06:44 PM

Oooo, I love Porter's.

wolfpackgrr, Mo Joe's is still there - I went there a few months ago. Still flippin awesome... and even though their shakes take FOREVER, they are always worth it.

3/29/2012 5:39:28 PM

Went to bella monica last night & was not impressed. Its not that the food was bad, just that it wasn't any good.

& Amedeo's is seriously shit. Anyone who eats there repeatedly is out of their mind.

Over: the Pit and Humble Pie

Under: Five Star...some of THE most amazing food in Raleigh.

3/29/2012 6:02:14 PM

I think Mami Nora's is underated (there's a location in Durham and Raleigh). Not many people know about it, and i think most of it is freakin' awesome (but i do agree, the yucca fries are pretty gross)

3/29/2012 6:08:26 PM

Agreed on Five Star being underrated.

I found Poole's to be overrated the one time I went there, but I should give it another chance I guess. I liked Beasley's and Chuck's. Wasn't bad, just wasn't great.

Underrated: Dalat's
Overrated: Busy Bee

3/29/2012 7:17:09 PM

Dalat looks like a sad place for miserable people but they got tasty sandwiches

lol is there still an indian restaurant and gopack bazaar?

is so that place is so UNDERRATED

3/29/2012 9:11:12 PM

i find baja burrito and mojoes to be slightly overrated. i'd heard so much about both that i expected amazing experiences, but neither were anything out of the ordinary.

3/29/2012 9:13:50 PM

I feel that Olive Garden is underrated.
It gets a horrible rap for being so mainstream, but it's pretty good.

I don't know how something that has been voted the best Thai in the area for over a decade now could be considered underrated.

Pam's farmhouse is amazing, I always wanted to go there but it was always closed. One morning I was up early enough and went there, and wow It was the best!

Obvious troll post is obvious.

Vic's italian bistro is underrated due to location alone...their food is phenomenal...especially their lobster ravioli.

Most over rated restaurant is Vivace...the lamb appetizer there is terrible. Take my word mane, that mug is no good.

3/30/2012 12:30:54 AM

chubby's tacos overrated

3/30/2012 12:44:20 AM

Overrated: Frazier's

LOL.

I can't believe somebody said Margaux's is overrated, that's seriously the best restaurant in Raleigh along with maybe Angus Barn and Heron's. I grew up in North Raleigh so maybe I'm biased but I love that place.

Overrated: Vivache at North Hills is terrible. nice atmosphere, terrible food.
Underrated: Sadlack's - probably not on this message board but I don't think many older folks in Raleigh associate it with awesome sandwiches. Cloo's is also little known outside of NCSU and has great food. Can't think of many upscale places that I'd say are underrated because any upscale place seems to generate hype in Raleigh

3/30/2012 2:48:35 AM

I came in here to post jimmy vs but alas it is in Cary.

That place rocks and either no one knows about it or no one can afford it.

Beasleys does not impress me and is honestly the worst of that resteraunt group but is the most popular

There are a couple of hole-in-the-wall BBQ places downtown on the east side of the city that kick ass.

3/30/2012 6:59:04 AM

Underrated: Farmers Market Restaurant

3/30/2012 7:10:03 AM

In this thread, we learn that we all have different tastes in food, service, and atmosphere

3/30/2012 7:11:27 AM

^ this

My favorite thing on tww is the outrage when someone likes a place that another hates. A close second is "the place is ok but the people who go there suck."

Unless its about pizza, then I'm always right.

Underrated: NC Seafood Restaurant @ Farmers Market

3/30/2012 8:37:11 AM

Porter's is arguably my favorite restaurant in Raleigh.

3/30/2012 8:42:36 AM

maybe it got better but the "french" place in north hills was terrible the 3 times i went.

meh. i go there for lunch sometimes. it's like $10 and not that impressive at all. i've started skipping that place and going to Larry's Southern Kitchen. why go to the farmers market when you can drive a few more miles and go to larry's?

Nothing special about Mojoe's burgers at all. Utterly forgettable in my opinion.

I have only eaten at The Pit once and ordered the chopped BBQ. It was good but didn't wow me.

What BBQ has wow'd you in Raleigh?

3/30/2012 10:08:29 AM

I agree about Baja Burrito being overrated. I refuse to eat their burrito's.

I don't know if it's over or underrated because I never see anyone mention it but The Mint downtown has some bomb ass food. I've eaten there twice and everything I put in my mouth was delicious. I could go back again and again just for the yellow tomato soup.

3/30/2012 10:21:57 AM

I will never be wowed by bbq anywhere. That shit is disgusting.

I've never heard anyone praising the place...or seen any awards it's won. Where does it get this reputation for being overrated?

haha I REFUSE!!!! seriously though, that baja salad is good as shit. try that instead of the burrito.



^ what are you a vegetarian or something? i've never seen anyone say that all bbq is disgusting.

3/30/2012 10:41:19 AM

okay, i might give that salad a try, thanks. idk, maybe it's just people i run into that are all like, "mmm baja burrito is so good" or "hey, we're walking over to baja burrito, wanna go?" (with an excited, shit eating grin on their face...no pun intended).

3/30/2012 10:52:19 AM

bttt

7/13/2018 3:07:02 PM

The Pit - used to be good, went way downhill when the original owner left.

Angus Barn - Last few times I've been the food has just been ok. I brought my new boss there during an interview since he flew in from out of town. I was pretty disappointed in the quality after talking it up a bit

just went back and read the thread, seems like my opinion of The Pit was shared back in 2012, haha

I think it is fucking hilarious that WRAL posted last Friday about the "Best Burgers in the Triangle" here:

https://www.wral.com/list-best-burgers-in-the-triangle/17679611/

If you go to the awards link from the article and see how people voted Bad Daddy's was number one, Five Guys was number two. Meanwhile this came out this week:

https://www.wral.com/best-burger-in-u-s-is-at-al-s-burger-shack-in-chapel-hill-/17691305/

So is Chapel Hill not in the Triangle? I looked at some other categories and shit as far away as Kinston was winning, so it seems pretty fucking stupid to me.

7/13/2018 3:31:19 PM

really i bumped this so you people can tell me where to go out to dinner tonight.

7/13/2018 3:37:57 PM

Pho Far East if want to eat good fairly cheap. Or the Stanbury if you want to spend a lot of money, i love that place. And I was really impressed with Cortez on my recent first visit (although also pretty pricey).
