I guess neomonde is overrated but it's still my favorite!!

Angus Barn is the best restaurant in Raleigh.

3/29/2012 12:20:13 PM

THEY HAVE A FUCKING BUFFET....automatic disqualification

3/29/2012 12:21:30 PM

Should we go ahead and get the "this place sucks because I see people in suits there during lunch" arguments out of the way now or later?

3/29/2012 12:29:56 PM

Overrated: The Pit. (note that this does not mean that they're bad, just that while it's a good joint, it's level of good doesn't meet the hype).

Underrated: Amedeo's

3/29/2012 12:38:59 PM

No shit. I'll have to give it another try then...it's been a few years. Any recommendations outside of the lasagna?

3/29/2012 12:59:23 PM

Never understood the Amedeos hate for the price.

Haven't been for a couple years but they made a pretty good manicotti

3/29/2012 1:06:29 PM

I found The Pit to be delightful.

I never heard anything about it before I went, so I found that it met my expectations exactly

Did I just divide by zero?

3/29/2012 1:22:40 PM

the thread could be a bit more interesting

perhaps a "rate the restaurant posted above" kinda thing where you list one so the next poster can call it over/underrated

Goodness gracious they have amazing burgers

Underrated was Left Right Wings, but that has since disappeared.

That's all I wanted to contribute for now.

Last time I went for lunch it left much to be desired. Perhaps I need to give it another shot...

Porters

3/29/2012 1:50:46 PM

eh, i liked Porters... nice place to take visiting family. last time i went in there was the day i graduated, though.

3/29/2012 1:52:26 PM

I miss Mo Joe's! That place was definitely underrated.

I think Pam's is overrated, especially when compared to the Farmer's Market Restaurant.

Although it's been 3 years since I been to any of them so they could all have changed.

3/29/2012 1:58:57 PM

o well i tried

3/29/2012 2:00:11 PM

Overrated: Mami Nora's. Don't get me wrong, food is delicious, but the people who told me to go there acted like it was the Holy Grail of chicken or something.

Damn I didn't even know they were gone.

i wasnt terribly impressed with it myself, yucca fries suck

[Edited on March 29, 2012 at 2:07 PM. Reason : e]

3/29/2012 2:06:26 PM

Yeah. I think they have a 2nd location in Raleigh now.

3/29/2012 2:06:44 PM

I doubt MoJoe's is gone, I left Raleighwood a few years ago and I miss that place.

Sorry for any confusion.

Mami Nora's is the shit. ain't nothing overrated about that place

3/29/2012 2:22:51 PM

The Pit + Ed Mitchell = awesome
The Pit + whoever the fuck is there now = average
Angus Barn, seriously, fuck this place. Is it a hunting lodge? Is it a buffet? Is it an upscale steakhouse? WHO THE FUCK KNOWS.

underrated - Amedeos, Armadillo Grill, Sawasdee (thai restaurant on captial and on glenwood), The Barking Cow (formerly 2nd City Grill)

[Edited on March 29, 2012 at 2:30 PM. Reason : .]

3/29/2012 2:29:48 PM

Armadillo Grill and Cosmic I think are both overrated. I much prefer Carrburritos to either of them.

3/29/2012 2:54:48 PM

THAT SHIT IS IN CARRBORO MAN

I understand that's a popular view, but what substantive differences have you noted in your recent trips there? I was just there a month ago and it tastes like it always has imo.

3/29/2012 3:04:58 PM

The bbq is dry, it has a different seasoning, and it doesn't have as much apple cider vinegar in it.

3/29/2012 3:06:35 PM

"Armadillo Grill"

I went to the one off Glenwood and it was hands down the worst food I've had in Raleigh with the exception of possibly Pizzamerica. Got tacos and a side of beans and rice. Beans were literally cold with unmelted cheese on top. Rice was hard and cold.

I disagree. I have been disappointed every time I have eaten here. I wouldn't rate it much higher than Olive Garden.

The chopped? I got chopped last time I was there and it was far from dry.

3/29/2012 3:15:04 PM

I got ribs last time and I have to agree with the quote.

3/29/2012 3:15:51 PM

The bbq in general is definitely overcooked more times than its not. Their brisket is seriously the worst I've had in a restaurant.

I was reminiscing about Baja Burrito with some coworkers yesterday. Good stuff.

3/29/2012 3:17:50 PM

I need to go there. It's been years and I always try to remind myself and forget.

I can agree with that.

^^ I've been getting the Baja Salad from there lately. It's easily two meals worth, and tasty as hell. Not the biggest fan of the burritos for some reason tho. I prefer Chipotle or Moe's over their burritos.

3/29/2012 3:26:18 PM

I honestly can't remember what their burritos taste like. Why don't you like them?
