    We came here for Mother's Day, got there a little before our reservation time (made on open table) and they were able to go ahead and seat us which was nice. The patio area has a really cute vibe with various types of tables and a bar. I'm one of those that looks up menus before I go to restaurants and I will say the menu had some slight differences in brunch offerings. I do wish that they offered more of a brunch selection but everything we had was good but simple, no frills but reasonably priced. I would love to go back for their burgers because those look amazing! Street Parking

    NO bun.  Texas Smash.

    We sat by the one of two outdoor fireplaces, PERFECT atmosphere. Servers are so personable and accommodating to your dietary restrictions.

    New menu... (3/31/23) sadly, some of my favorites didn't make the cut.

    Sadly, the new menu axed the Sweet Heat Mule, the Mac n cheese, the hummus dip... among others. What was one of my favorite spots for an afternoon bite and drink is now just another place with decent bar food.

    I can't comment on the food, we had a reservation through OpenTable but did not stay. We went for Brunch after looking at the menu online. It seems that menu is outdated and the current menu lacks several of the items shown online including Oreo pancakes and a Nutella/banana pancake. The staff was friendly but when your expectation is Oreo pancakes and they don't have that anymore, disappointment is inevitable. Even at the time I am writing this, the online menu remains inaccurate both in terms of food but also pricing. The 4 pancake stacker that is still served are $13, not the stated $9.

    We wanted the mozzarella sticks but they were out. Service was ok. The fried pickles were tasty.

    Stopped by with a friend while in Raleigh and the experience was okay. We both got drinks (Thunderbird and Pink Cadillac) and both were quite watered down. My friend got a Caesar salad and Nana's meatballs which she liked. I ordered chicken and waffles. While I really liked the waffles, the chicken was over cooked and extra crispy.

    The food here was really tasty! We got The Smash Burger and Texas Smash burger. They were not smash burgers, but they were really good. The wedges were super crispy, the Brussel sprouts were perfect. The service was wonderful!

    We walked here for trivia and we will be back. IMO, they have one of the best patios in Raleigh - shaded, plenty of comfortable seating, and in a walkable area. We got beers and apps which were delicious. The loaded tots have sour cream, tomatoes, pimento cheese & pork belly and they are 10/10. Trivia is at 7 on Wednesdays and you can play on the patio or inside. It's seat yourself and super laid back! Come join us!!!

    Adorable place with mostly outside tables, some covered. We went for Brunch and shared 3 different entrees! Not huge portions but just right to finish it off and not have leftovers! Prices were very reasonable for portion size! You can make reservations on Open Table! I would like to go back again for lunch or dinner!

    Sunday Brunch at this Person Street restaurant. Sat outside on the patio, where there are about 10 tables. Service was friendly and efficient, order taken promptly food delivered quickly and accurately. Our server did a great job, keeping track of us thru a leisurely meal and dividing the check at the end. Thank you! Started off with a Bloody Mary. It's well spiced, with Old Bay around the rim, a strip of bacon and a skewered olive. Even though there is a brunch menu, the full menu is available. A variety of different things were ordered around the table: The Elvis Stacker and breakfast biscuit sandwich from the brunch menu, and a Muffuletta, Bahn Mi and Station Burger. The muffuletta sounded good on the menu. It has the right ingredients - mortadella, sweet capicola, tapenade. But, it missed the mark of the New Orleans classic. The tapenade was more mustard-like than olive-y and more olive oil was needed. It true what they say that you can't get good muffuletta bread outside of New Orleans, because while the crusty cuban bread was good, it wasn't the same. A completely tasty sandwich, but just not what I expected. The Elvis stacker is a mountain of 3 plate-sized pancakes. They're hollowed in the center to make way for a big scoop of Nutella. They whole thing is topped with half a slice of banana and several strips of crisp bacon. As if the Nutella isn't sweet enough, there's syrup too! Pancakes aren't as fluffy as they could be, but anything that you eat slathered in Nutella is darn tasty! It was a nice, laid-back brunch; and the Station is a great place to relax and enjoy the company of your friends. Food is OK, though not special.

    I need to return here to give a proper review as I was not fully sober when I dined here. This bar is across the street from a speakeasy I went to. We were greeted by one of the bartenders who was outdoors collecting table lamps. The outdoor tables and seating is very large. They also have fire places/pits and outdoor heaters that was working well enough to warm us up as it was lightly snowing. The indoor space is tiny in comparison, but was still chill. They have a nice selection of bar foods. We ordered wings and potato wedges, it was delicious by the way, and ate at the bar. We drank enough that night, so we didn't get the full bar experience. Both bartenders there was very nice, and communicated with the other, very drunk, patrons very well. This will be the go to spot when we hit up the speakeasy. I also want to experience the outdoor dining as well.

    My husband and I came here for brunch when we were first visiting Raleigh house-hunting. We decided…read moreto revisit for Mother's Day brunch this year. We showed up early with our 1.5 year old daughter and they were able to seat us immediately. The area felt spacious, although that could be due to the fact that it wasn't super packed inside. I ordered the short rib benedict, my husband got the chicken & waffle sandwich, and we ordered my daughter a side of the mac & cheese. What a delicious meal! The short rib was tender and flavorful, and sat on top of a biscuit (what's not to love here?!) - horseradish hollandaise was the perfect touch as the horseradish pairs nicely with the beef. The chicken & waffle sandwich was the best guilty pleasure! Waffle crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, chicken breaded and fried with a nice crunch, and a nice hot honey syrup to go alongside -- wish this had a little more heat. To our surprise, the mac & cheese side was a highlight too! It's hard to get a good mac n cheese, but this had such a rich, white cheese, slight funk flavor - delicious. Brunch at Parkside is delicious. Looking forward to trying dinner here soon.

We came in today with reasonable expectations after finding the restaurant online and seeing mostly positive reviews. We ordered several items to share as a family: broccoli cheddar soup, a French dip sandwich with green beans, and poutine fries. Unfortunately, the broccoli cheddar soup was very bland and lacked seasoning. We had a few bites and ended up leaving the rest. The French dip was the standout of the meal. While the meat itself was a bit dry, dipping it in the au jus made it the most enjoyable and edible item we ordered. The poutine fries were disappointing. They were very basic and didn't resemble what I would expect from poutine--more like prepackaged frozen fries that had been deep-fried. We didn't finish them and left most behind, though we still paid for them. Our child wouldn't eat any of the food, so we ordered the fried ravioli appetizer, hoping it would be similar to versions we've had elsewhere. Sadly, that was another letdown. Although we were told there was no breading, the texture suggested otherwise. This was the one item we did send back. I wouldn't recommend this location for anyone with food allergies or sensitivities, as much of the food appears to be made from frozen or prepackaged items. That said, our server was absolutely wonderful--the highlight of the visit. She was kind, attentive, kept our drinks refilled, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Her sweet demeanor and constant smile were honestly the reason we didn't complain more at the time. While I wouldn't return for the food, I might consider stopping by again strictly for drinks during a sporting event. Otherwise, this just wasn't the dining experience we were hoping for.

When you arrive there is parking available on the street or in the parking garage across the street. Walking into Sam Jones BBQ it felt lively, casual, and family friendly. There was a bit of a line but it is definitely worth the wait. To order hop in line and order at the counter. Once you order you'll be given a number and then you'll be able to choose between sitting inside or outside. We ordered the three meat combo with the chopped bbq (this is whole hog bbq), the slow-cooked chicken, and the brisket with cornbread. For the sides we ordered fries and Mac & cheese. The slow cooked chicken was amazing and by far our favorite as it was packed with flavor and was so perfectly smoky. The brisket was our second favorite as the bark was well seasoned and it fell apart. The chopped bbq was good just needed some sauce but had a great smoky flavor. For the sides, definitely ask for the ranch and honey mustard on the side. They make these sauces in house and were excellent. The cornbread was interesting, kind of like a hybrid between a hush puppy and a piece of bread. Definitely worth trying if you haven't had the cornbread Carolina style. If you are in the Downtown Raleigh area this is a must stop. I can see why this restaurant was added to the Michelin guide.

When I ordered my food, the person at the cash register was very nice and friendly. She told me about how Raliegh is a very neat place to explore. The store itself seems like a very chill and relaxed place to get some BBQ at. There is plenty of seats around and it's nice to see this places history through the posters around the dining area. Sam's Original BBQ is very very good. It had the right amount of spices and salt added to it. I did not even need any sauce for it. The fries were good too and the sweet potato muffin was very decent.
