Sam Jones BBQ
Barbecue · Bib
$
It's all in the family at Sam Jones BBQ, where three generations of the same family have been perfecting their 'cue. This spot in downtown Raleigh (and another in Winterville) specializes in cooking Eastern North Carolina-style barbecue pork. They've been doing it their way, slow cooking the whole pig over burning embers, then chopping it all up and serving it with a vinegar-based sauce to cut through the richness of the meat, for years. Order a meat combo, which comes with sides and a sweet potato muffin or corn bread, and chase it with one of their beers on tap, brewed by the family in Winte

Mala Pata
Mexican · Bib
$$
Mala Pata brings a taste of Mexico to Gateway Plaza. This upbeat spot has a lively vibe that spills over to the cocktail bar next door. Plan to start or end your evening with a mezcal mule or pisco sour.As for the food, Mala Pata takes ingredients quite seriously, importing corn from Oaxaca and grinding it in house to make their own tortillas, tostadas and chips. Sip a cocktail and order one of the botanas (snacks) like guacamole or Colombian bunuelos. Of course, tacos are a must and include fish and meat varieties. Whole market fish and beef to share are also available.

Poole's
American
$$$
First opened as Poole's Pie Shop in 1947 before switching to a diner, Poole's is the sort of restaurant that is part of the fabric of the community. The original horseshoe counters, recently restored, are available to book and also open for walk-ins. They also have a much larger dining space in a former warehouse next door.As for the food, Poole's promises good, honest cooking with a distinct nod to the South. Must-orders include tomato pie and North Carolina slow shrimp, and when they insist you try a side of their mac and cheese, listen to them.

The Pit Authentic Barbecue
barbecue
$$
You'll certainly smell the smoke from around the block before you even spot this former warehouse in the aptly named Warehouse district. From that first whiff, it's clear that North Carolina barbecue is the name of the game here, and this spot offers more than your average bbq joint. Start with freshly cooked cornbread with a seasonal, flavored butter and some fried green tomatoes. The chopped BBQ pork is the mainstay, of course, but with ribs, smoked sausages, catfish and shrimp, decision-making isn't easy. Order one of the combos with a choice of sides, but don't fill up too much, as you'll

Brewery Bhavana
chinese
$$
As the name suggests, beer does indeed figure largely here, but don't assume this Raleigh spot is just another pub. There are a number of beers to choose from, including seasonal supplements, but there's nary a burger in sight at this bistro-style restaurant. Instead, expect Chinese cuisine with a selection of dim sum that's perfect for lunch or as appetizers before a feast of their larger plates designed for sharing. Some dishes pack a little more heat than others. Peruse the flowers, local crafts and second-hand books for sale before or after your meal. There is a second location in nearby F

St. Roch Fine Oysters + Bar
Seafood
$$$
Set in a former clothing store in downtown Raleigh, this oyster bar and bistro retains some of its original features while sharing a new spirit. Chef/owner Sunny Gerhart's Louisiana roots inspire and inform the menu where, as should be expected, oysters play a big role. Find the resident shucker behind the counter prying open the daily selection from North Carolina and beyond. Not a fan of raw oysters? They're available fried, too, so be sure to start with a selection of these briny jewels. It's all about seafood here, where a Carolina calabash keeps things local, and their barbecue shrimp and

Crawford and Son
american
$$$
Owner Scott Crawford lends his name to this restaurant in Raleigh's beautiful, historic Oakwood neighborhood. This classic American place emanates an upscale, neighborhood feel, where a long bar counter dominates one side, and a banquette set with black marble-topped tables runs along the other.This is a kitchen that keeps things short and seasonal, though each dish sounds more enticing than the next. Manchego herb biscuits, served fresh from the oven, are a house specialty. Quality ingredients are left to shine in appetizers like smoked trout rillettes with grilled milk bread and main dishes

Jolie
french
$$$
Sitting right next door to one of his other restaurants, Crawford and Son, Chef Scott Crawford has created his version of a classic French bistro in Historic Oakwood at Jolie. Inspired by family trips to Paris and named after his daughter, the menu blends French classics with more modern interpretations, marrying punchy flavors with clear respect for traditional techniques. Steak tartare and French onion soup are two signatures not to be skipped, as is the delicious rum-soaked baba. The wine list is strictly French; stop by and get a glass of bubbles from their champagne window out front or si
