Coming from south Louisiana, good gas station food is a must. This store covers that for me. The club sandwich is phenomenal.

City Barbeque - Brisket & Ribs

Brisket is consistently tender and flavorful. They will never disappoint. Sides are plentiful and…read morea great addition to their meats. So glad they're in Raleigh, we loved them in Columbus before we moved to Goldsboro. Please build one in Goldsboro and feed our Airmen!

Recommended (with an *)…read more City Barbecue has a lot going for it, but probably not for the BBQ purist (*). This Ohio-based chain has over 70 locations in the U. S., including six in the Triangle area. All the meats are tender enough, but just don't have that distinctive pit-cooked flavor that I crave. However, when one of their excellent sauces is added, they're really quite tasty. Sauce options include Original, Sweet City, Brush Fire (Actually not all that hot), Swine Wine (like Eastern NC Vinegar) and Low Calorie (why bother?). I found the portions to be ample, the selections varied and the food generally very good. On my first visit I tried the basic Pulled Pork , Baked Beans and Cole Slaw I added a little of each Sauce to some of the BBQ and enjoyed them all. The Beans were tangy and tasty. The Cole Slaw was outstanding - slightly sweet, creamy and delicious. I also sampled the Pulled Chicken with Fried Okra and Sweet Corn Pudding. The chicken was pretty bland, but very good with some of the sauces. The real stars were the sides. The Fried Okra was as good as any I have ever had (with or without the Chipotle Ranch Dressing). It was lightly breaded; slightly crispy but tender. The Corn Pudding was loaded with sugary corn kernels, butter and sour cream. My two favorites are the St Louis Ribs and the Beef Brisket. The Ribs were slightly crusty but tender. I find that three Ribs and a couple of sides are plenty for a filling meal. You can get the Brisket either lean cut or full cut (I prefer the full cut). City's Hush Puppies are crispy, golden and packed with Southern flavor - perfect. Be sure to ask for the 10% military veteran or senior discount (age 62).

Big Menu, Bold Flavors…read more Parkside is yet another excellent wendell Falls Parkway dining option. While the decor is rather austere, the service and food are first-rate. There is ample outdoor dining and a full-service bar with a good selection of draft beers. I particularly like the diverse menu and surprising variations on many tried and true classics. The Deviled Eggs starter is kicked up a notch with the addition of Jalapeño and Bacon. I really like the Chicken & Waffle Sandwich. The slightly crunchy Belgian Waffle is wrapped around a crispy fried Chicken Breast and topped with Hot Chipotle Honey - yum! If you are looking for a plate full of pure comfort food, try Mom's Meatloaf. The substantial portion of this old-fashioned favorite brought back fond memories of mom's kitchen. For something a little out of the ordinary, try that Canadian favorite (with a twist) Short Rib Poutine. The French Fries are smothered in a Hot Jalapeño Gravy, Garlicky Cheese Curds, Green Onions and chunks of Fork-Tender Boneless Short Ribs - so delicious. For something more basic, there's a very good Grilled Chicken Sandwich on a Brioche Bun. The fresh House Salad with Lettuce, shredded Cabbage and Carrots, Cucumber and Cherry Tomatoes is a perfect accompaniment for this hearty winner. There were a couple of items that missed the mark - at least with us. The Veggie Wrap with Coleslaw was bland and uninteresting and the slaw was not to our liking. We also did not care for the Tomato Bisque.
