  Holy wow at the cakes. A group of us had been at a different restaurant for dinner, wanted cake, and a local told us about this place, and it definitely didn't disappoint! We ended up with 8 pieces of different cakes, all of which were to die for. Will definitely be going back when we're in this area.

  Lunch is delicious, efficient and served with a smile. There are daily specials, milkshakes and floats. Desserts are available to eat in and take out at lunch as well and they are some of the best you can find in Raleigh. The lemon-blueberry is one of my personal favorites. Dinner is southern comfort at its best. Daily specials will keep the regulars coming back for something new or an old favorite. Salads are fresh and well thought out. The mussels are some of my favorite in the city and with a nice oaky chard are paired well. Portions are large and you will have enough meatloaf to make yourself a sandwich for lunch the next day. The hospitality from host staff, service and bar are top notch and remind you that every city has its secrets.

  I used to live in Raleigh and never ate at this place. I met some friends for lunch on a visit and regret that I had not been there before. The grilled pimento cheese was a nice welcome back to the south. The cakes were out of this world.

  I love this place. It is hard to get into though. Be sure to show up early if you want to eat here. If not, you could always cross the street to the Hayes Barton Crafty Beers shop and the restaurant will call you when your table is ready. Their food is fantastic. I recommend the chicken pot pie. Also, the cake there is incredible. Great old school vibe.
