- SSShannonSRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 2, 2023Arrived to find free valet, which was a nice surprise and made the date feel more special. We were about 10 minutes early for our 8PM reservation and they were running a little behind, so we took the opportunity to visit the bar. The bar was busy but not too noisy or crowded. We ordered two cocktails from the menu, both were tasty. My wife had their take on a Moscow Mule and I had a mocha old fashioned, which was novel. We were sat shortly after our reservation time. Our server walked us through the menu, as it was our first time at Perry’s. We ordered a bottle of wine, the pork appetizer, a steak to share and a few sides. The manager came by to help us with the wine selection as the one we ordered was out of stock. He was patient and knowledgeable. He also offered a small discount on the wine we settled on for our trouble. This was unexpected, but appreciated. The kitchen pre-cut the steak and separated it into our two plates, which again was unexpected, but appreciated. After dinner, we tried the three dessert sampler. I liked the lemon tart the best. I would say all were good, none were remarkable. Overall, we had a great experience at Perry’s. The ambiance, the pace of the meal, the small details of the service, and the taste of the food were all wonderful. It was a little pricy at around $230 for the meal for two. We would definitely return.More infoPerry's Steakhouse & Grille - Raleigh$$$$• Steakhouse• Raleigh•4.6
- JHJenniHRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023The food was delicious. It’s a little pricey. The only reason I rate the noise level higher was because of this incredibly loud customer in the dining room. Otherwise it was fabulousMore infoFirebirds Wood Fired Grill - Raleigh$$$$• American• Raleigh•4.6

Discussions about barbecue in North Carolina usually end in fistfights. If you ask someone from the western part of the state, smoked pork shoulder is the way to go. Head east, and nothing will do but to slow cook the whole hog. Either way, chopped pork, barbecue sauce, a ladle of coleslaw and a dash of Texas Pete make an iconic sandwich. The squishier the bun is, the better. Even if your tastes run to fried chicken, sautéed mountain trout or pimiento cheese melted over fried green tomatoes, you won’t go hungry in Raleigh. Have you ever had boiled peanuts? Reserve your opinion until you’ve tasted this roadside-stand treat. Local chefs are creating delicious new dishes around this humble ingredient.
