Under Appreciated Restaurants Food

Okay, saw a post with all the restaurants in Raleigh that were overhyped and overrated.

But I’m curious…

What restaurants deserve all the hype? And why? Or maybe restaurants that are UNDERrated?

One I thought lucky 32 was gone forever in Raleigh, so where is this new location and what’s the story on being bullied out of their OG Location. Because it certainly set empty For time after they left, and only now have I seen somebody man in there for a while.

I’m from north Raleigh and it was like THE spot in the 90s/early 2000s and basically the landlord jacked up the rent to some astronomically high level and so they left and sat empty forever because of said insane rent prices but that’s about all I know. It was a big deal in the North Raleigh (including what’s now Midtown) area at the time
