We stopped in the day after Christmas, they were pretty busy but we didn't wait long for a table. I ordered the Reuben with pastrami. Hubby ordered the Italian submarine. We shared the burnt ends potato salad. We both enjoyed our sandwiches. My Reuben was meaty and cheesy served up on the delicious rye bread. Hubby's Italian submarine was huge - no shortage of deli meat, crisp veggies with a good amount of tangy Italian dressing. The burnt ends potato salad was very unique, flavorful and had a nice texture. Ish was a great lunch spot and we would definitely be back!

This has quickly become my go-to spot for a great, affordable bite. It genuinely feels like a…read moreNYC-style deli dropped into downtown Raleigh. The food punches way above its price point with quality ingredients, generous portions, and everything I've had has been dialed in. I came in for breakfast and was impressed enough to come back for dinner the same day, which says a lot. The sandwiches are the highlight, but the street tacos were a surprising win too. Looking forward to working through more of the menu, but this is already one of the best deli options in Raleigh.

I've been…read morelooking for a new place that delivers besides Bruegger's because my absolute favorite spot doesn't decline to our area. I'm also from NYC and know a good bagel. I ordered a build your own bagel with egg whites, bacon, and American cheese. I also added a side of breakfast potatoes that was served with peppers and onions. The bagel was pretty good. It was definitely more of a New York style than Bruegger's. Everything arrived fresh, hot, and flavorful. The bagel was a little bit soft and could've been more toasted, but still very good. I would surely order from here again and glad I found it. Looking forward to trying some other menu options!

I was kinda disappointed in the selection (it's a Tuesday around noon). But the service was great and attentive. There is also a little gift shop area where you can buy shirts, hats etc. If I could make a suggestion... if it were my store... I would sell picnic baskets (vintage and new... or any kind of largish container or trays) and have packaged fresh fruit, veggies, individual hummus (actually, they might have had this) and way more prepared salads like potato salad, macaroni salad... salad-salads etc. It's such an excellent spot for a picnic! I also really appreciated the brochures about the park, the trail system and the TROLLS! Lovely park and a really cool spot to hang out... I can't wait to come visit again!

My partner and I visited House of Many Porches while we were at Dix Park on Saturday. The space…read moreitself is gorgeous with tons of outdoor seating. I believe it is a converted home. It sits right beside Gipson's Play area. We each grabbed a beer, which they have on draft and in cans to enjoy. The beers were good and it was nice to sit out on the porch sipping it in the afternoon sun. The one thing to be wary of is there appears to be only one or two bathrooms in the house, which can make the wait a bit long when it is busy. House of Many Porches also offers coffee and other canned cold drinks. They have a run club that meets there on Thursday evenings as well.

I had the everything bagel with pimento cheese. The bagel was toasted perfectly and there was a good amount of pimento cheese- the cheese itself didn't have much flavor- I enjoy pimento cheese made from sharp cheddar-overall it was good. Employees were very friendly and helpful. I got mine togo - there are plenty of seats to eat in or out. I parked up at Dortha Dix park- short pretty walk.

I ordered mine on pressed focaccia bread and everything from the juicy crispy chicken to the parmesan cheese and toppings was top notch. Each of the flavors and textures played so well together that it's hard to stop eating after taking the first bite. Came on a Monday around 1pm and there was no line. Inside the shop was a classic deli where you order at the counter and then browse the various goods/merch while you wait. Service was fast and the sandwiches came out within 5 minutes of ordering. There are a couple picnic tables outside to sit and eat but other than that, mostly a to-go place. First timers: get the Uncle Primo's, you won't regret it!

I got half an uncle primos chicken cutlet sandwich ($11). It was a lot of food and was loaded with chicken! Even just the half sandwich was too much for me to eat at once. While it was tasty, I did feel like it was missing something, and personally didn't find it to be worth the wait. But if the line were shorter in the future I'd come back and try other yummies from the menu.

You might…read moreaccidentally drive by it if you're not paying attention but once you try it, you will love it and come back many times when in the area. Walk in and you will hear Gen X music to bring you back to your carefree high school and college days...all while the employees are quickly and correctly making your delicious sandwich. It sells to the entirety of Raleigh, you've got blue collar workers, govt workers, white collar workers, the neighborhood locals, college students, two women getting a quick bite before headed to a conference event. And, everyone is in a positive mood, engaging with one another in a good way like the world use to be. Like I said, everything they make is handmade and delicious but if you need recommendations, get the turkey basil sandwich on out of this world rosemary focaccia bread, bbq chips (for your free chips choice) and Squirt for your drink.
