Describe Poole's Diner here
It's hard to find fault with one of downtown Raleigh's best restaurants. Poole's Diner serves up delicious, fresh, locally sourced contemporary cuisine with a slight Southern influence. The menu changes daily depending on the season and ingredients with a few standards (like the decadent mac-n-cheese and perfect roast chicken) always represented. Smallish dining area with a very casual and hip vibe nestled in next to a large bar area serving up creative cocktails and a nice selection of beer and wine. No reservations + popular restaurant = long waits on the weekend, but get there right when they open at 6pm or come later on for best chances of getting a table. Poole's also serves up an outstanding brunch on Sundays from 11am-3pm, with eggs benedict, the BEST huevos rancheros, delicious french toast and other classics. Rock star chef Ashley Christensen is building her national reputation right here in Raleigh as she is spotlighted in top foodie magazines, a contender on Iron Chef America and semi-finalist for the prestigious James Beard award. If you have not eaten her food...go NOW and enjoy one of life's perfect bites at Poole's Diner.
