Food!

The Mac and Cheese with bacon was absolutely fire! The Brisket Philly was like absolute s*x!! AND THE 3 MEAT CHILLI!! Flavors you'd never suspect!! Wouldn't recommend a better place! THE PATIO is really where it's at!! From walking in with one of the regulars aka GOOD TIMES , we knew what we were in for. Friendly bartenders and a great energy throughout the whole establishment--you gotta check out this place .. you won't regret it!

Another delicious dinner for our subdivision's food truck Tuesdays. Ordering online is straightforward and easy. Pay online and select a pickup time. Pickup was on time, and the food piping hot. Tried a couple of sandwiches - Black Angus Brisket and Moose Cubano. Brisket is a thick slice of all-day slow roasted beef, super tender, flavorful and moist. It's dressed with caramelized onions, melted bleu cheese and creamy horseradish sauce. It's served on a toasted square ciabatta roll. Each bite melts in your mouth - earthy beef, tart bleu cheese and a hint of tangy horseradish. Delicious! The Moose Cubano is a great take on the classic Cuban sandwich. A big scoop of slow cooked pork piled high on a crusty ciabatta roll and dressed with spicy mustard, dill pickles and melted cheese. The pork is perfectly done, tender and juicy. Another great taste combo. Also tried the mac 'n cheese with bacon. It was OK, nothing special. And lastly the chili mac. The same mac' n cheese, smothered in chili and topped with melted cheddar. The chili is homemade, with big chunks of 3 types of meat. The chili has some heat to it. I love chili mac and this is a good one! Another tasty food truck. Give them a try!

Delicious, fresh, cooked to order from this food truck. I had the brisket sandwich, the flavor was wonderful, the brisket was amazing. It tasted so good. Hubby had Cubano and felt the same way. We also shared a jalapeño coleslaw, it was light, vinegar based with just a hint of jalapeño. It was lightly spiced. All in all this is good eats. Generous portions at a reasonable price. I would love to eat this food on a regular basis.

My 1st food truck experience!!! They offer a simple menu and every item sounds mouthwatering. I opted for the Jerk chicken which was brined and slow roasted in house made jerk sauce that was served with a caramelized pineapple and cilantro jalapeño slaw. I will definitely track them down next time I'm in town!

Mac n cheese

Omggggggg the wandering moose cake to our neighborhood during this crazy covid 19 time and they let us preorder food to help keep us socially distant. The guy was sooooo unbelievably nice he even threw some bacon to my puppy. We got the cubano, southern grilled cheese and the Mac n cheese and it was amazing!!! I highly recommend all of it but the grilled cheese had pork and jalapeño pimento cheese and it was amazing!!!! I loved it so much!

Brisket Hash w/Sauce on Side

TIP: If they are offering beer cheese soup with grilled pretzel bread as a special, GET IT. You will thank me! Also note that if you're not in a sandwich mood (although they all looked really look that I saw), they offer each of those sandwiches as a salad as well. I know because I got the Chicken Club on lettuce instead of bread. And while it was good, I would ask for the dressing on the side next time, as it was heavily dressed. Bacon lovers should also take note that this bacon is pork belly, so it's on the fatty side, but boy does it have some wonderful smoked flavor! This food truck is definitely smokin'!

Visited this food truck located at Deep River Brewing Company on July 4, 2018. It was a memorable time with a good amount of activity going around the brewery. I'd recommend checking them out whenever and wherever you get an opportunity. It's a food truck, so obviously there isn't any seating capacity. Must Try: Black Angus Brisket

Don't run out of propane. And if you do, make it clear, not a math problem: 'It'll take 20 minutes to get more and I close in 10....'

The Roast Grill Hot Weiners

9.5 years later, I returned to the Roast Grill!…read more Nothing much has changed, and nothing really needs to. A little more Hurricanes gear, which I didn't need, but what can you do. 3 dogs and a coke for $14. Prices may not be the same, but such is life. I ordered all three dogs with mustard, onions, and slaw, and one also had the chili. I have to admit a few splashes of Texas Pete hot sauce took them over the top. The dogs themselves are great quality, none of the mystery meats that some of these other Carolina dogs have. And I'm glad they didn't load the chili on. Maybe this is not legal to say in the south, but I'm just not a fan of a chili dog with so much chili that the whole thing falls apart. The toppings should complement the dog, not overwhelm it. OK, I digress... The service was tremendous. I chatted with the owners about various topics for a good half hour and they were incredibly hospitable. They even gave me a couple of Tootsie rolls. Even though I can't do chocolate, I was glad to take them as a token of hospitality.

I visited the Roast Grill in January after years of looking down on the building from my former…read moreGannett Fleming office at One Glenwood and wondering what was inside this little Raleigh institution. The Roast Grill feels less like a restaurant and more like a preserved piece of mid-20th-century Americana hidden in plain sight along West Street. The narrow counter, wood-paneled walls, neon beer signs, Coca-Cola memorabilia, handwritten notices, old photographs, Hurricanes tributes, and decades of accumulated objects create an atmosphere that simply cannot be manufactured today. The place reminded me a little of Chicago's famous Billy Goat Tavern--especially the feeling of discovering something authentic tucked beneath an increasingly overbuilt urban streetscape. I ordered two hot dogs all the way with mustard, onions, chili, and slaw--absolutely NO ketchup, of course--along with a Coke in a glass bottle. The chili is legendary and reportedly takes up to three days to prepare. Whether that is folklore or fact, it certainly gives the hot dogs a flavor unlike almost anywhere else in Raleigh. One of my favorite details was the mounted goat wearing a red hat beneath the neon beer signs. It somehow fits perfectly within the visual layering and quirky personality of the interior. Even the traditions remain intact. At the end of the meal, every customer receives a Tootsie Roll. Places like the Roast Grill are becoming increasingly rare. It is not just a hot dog stand--it is a living piece of Raleigh history. If interested, you can view my post in "The Architecture of..."
