The Best Restaurants in Raleigh, North Carolina | Bon Appétit

"Humble Pie is a local staple for Sunday brunch, and dinner the rest of the week. With its large, breezy patio and buttoned-down ease, this restaurant generously welcomes the punk, the polished, and, well, me, someone who has never fit in particularly neatly with either crowd. And while fried chicken might be an obvious choice for Southern food, here you’ll get a fresh take: crispy buttermilk-style with sweet-spicy chipotle honey, sesame seeds, and rosemary. The rest of the menu—featuring dishes like broccolini with miso butter and fried oysters with malt aioli and raspberry—is all about fresh food that’s meant to be shared."
