Raleigh Times
The Raleigh Times is one of downtown’s new and trendiest additions. They offer first tier “bar food” but really, it’s not what I’d consider bar food. They don’t fry everything and each dish doesn’t come with French fries. Usually the sandwiches come with a small portion of whatever the chef felt like making. Previous choices have included fresh pasta salad and fresh potato salad. French fries are available for those looking for something more traditional to American bar food.
For lunch I had one of my favorite comfort foods. Their BLT. I think I’ve said before on here that I am a fan of BLT’s, this one ranks close to the top. I’ve called this sandwich the “almost too much bacon” BLT in the past. The “almost” is there because can you ever have too much bacon? I don’t think so!
This is a basic sandwich made with fresh ingredients. The bread is a fluffy wheatberry, the lettuce and tomato fresh, the mayo made in-house and we’ve already discussed the bacon. In my opinion this is a perfect choice for a meal.
Raleigh Times is also a great place for dinner, they go far beyond what I’d expect for a restaurant with such a casual atmosphere. Look for other reviews later but just know, they corn their own beef for rueben sandwiches, they freshly prepare their guacamole and the burgers are one of the only places you can get below well done because they grind their own hamburger.
I’ve had virtually everything on the menu, and future reviews will include more of my suggestions.
