Pattie Hofland: Everything on the menu looked great :) I had the pulled pork hash and thought it was great! The store here is adorable too and a great place to kill time during the restaurant wait.
Meka Lloyd: Northerners beware...they don't serve wine/spirits before noon on Sunday. Yikes! No mimosa for me. #biblebeltblues
Pax Whitfield: True NY-style brunch, not that country club bullshit, and maybe the best bloody mary in Raleigh.

Jeff Gunn: As a vegan traveler, this place slays! Nab the Tinga Tacos or Chicken & Waffles. Amazing homemade got sauce (25¢). House made sodas, as well...
Sera Lewis: Get the fritters, get the fritters, get the fritters. Also the chicken and waffles. Maybe not the sushi.
Slightly Stoopid: Very awesome. We love that place.

Thai Restaurant · 11 tips and reviews
Bogdana B: Delicious red curry! Also you must try the green curry and the crispy veggie rolls. Perfect Thai!
R. J.: Great service and very nice plate presentation. If you like spicy foods, ask them to prepare it "Thai spicy." Very hot but very good!
Matthew Grimes: The lunch menu is fun, decor is more upscale than most strip mall places in the area. Food was great but ask for more spice if you like it hot!
