    Create Your Own Bowl and Big Green
    Caitlyn W.

    Ordered a "build your bowl" with grilled chicken, rice, arugula, avocado, cilantro, roasted red peppers, sweet potato, black beans, lime and crunchy pita. It was truly delicious and all the ingredients were fresh. I also ordered a big green with bee pollen. Definitely tasty. A little sweet, but not anymore than I'd expect with the ingredients listed. I ordered via door dash so I can't speak for the ambiance, but they executed my order correctly and it was super quick. Will be ordering again!

    I stopped by Happy & Hale and made my own chicken protein bowl and overall, it was a great experience. The guy who prepared my bowl was super kind, patient, and made sure I got everything just how I wanted. I asked for a bit more rice than usual since the scoop looked small compared to the customer before me -- there was a $1 upcharge, which was okay. You can choose three free sides, which is a nice touch, but I do wish the bowl was filled a bit more and that there wasn't an up charge for more sides. The Thai vinaigrette dressing I got on the side was flavorful and tied everything together perfectly. Even with a few small tweaks I'd make, the food was tasty, the service was great, and I left satisfied. I'll definitely be back to try a different combo next time!

    I stopped by one morning for to grab a smoothie before going to appointments. There was no one dining in, but there were a lot of people getting takeaways and picking up online orders. I had ordered a City of Oats smoothie. It was actually quite filling with the oats that is a main ingredient. It was a really tasty smoothie, great for a quick breakfast on the go. The restaurant was clean and organized when I visited. The decor is very simple but quite cozy. They have plenty of tables and chairs inside. When the weather is nicer, they also have plenty of chairs and tables outside. I would definitely come back to try other things on their menu.

    Friendly service, decent smoothies, and has outdoor seating too. I didn't try any of the bowls but they look pretty good. Definitely a healthy spot! The aqua fresca type drinks looked tasty. All of the employees were friendly and checked in on us to see if we were helped yet.

    Ridiculous portion size - my husband ordered the protein bowl and this is what he received

    This was my very 1st time at Happy + Hale and let me just say the food was simply amazing! The veggie, protein & sauce diversity was so refreshing to see. I am currently on keto and making a keto friendly bowl that was both tasty & healthy was so easy to do. My bowl, in fact, was so yummy that I grabbed an extra one to go! Also the staff was so friendly too and did great job explaining the menu and their fav options and combos! I will for sure be back whenever I am in the RDU area!

    Bueno Bowl

    Did a group order and several of us got bueno bowls, and a variety of other bowls most of them absolutely perfect looking like the photos, neat fresh and organized, and then mine and one other turned out like this? It was 95% rice with 5 pieces of chicken and I couldn't figure out why it looked like it was dropped on the floor? Also the dressing didn't come on the side as it always does. Very confusing.

    It's right across the Hyatt hotel where we stayed. Went here for a quick lunch. We ordered two Create your Own Bowls. Food was very tasty and it had lot veg and meat options. I wish they had Fafalfal as veggie protein option. Overall great place to go for a healthy meal, Good portions, Good vibes and Good Prices. We will be back.

    Lindsay M.

    Happy + Hale is a great quick, healthy spot in North Hills. They offer bowls, salads, smoothies, and toast. My favorite bowls are the impossible bulgogi and the poke bowl! Cannot go wrong with this place. A little pricey but definitely worth it!!

    If you want to look like Christian Bale But for now you're more like Christian Whale I have a solution To body pollution Get cleansed down at Happy + Hale Weight loss is an inspiring tale And makes you feel better without fail You don't have to be wealthy To try and eat healthy Just come down to Happy + Hale So if you live with your Mum and your Papi Or alone in a place that's quite crappy Just go on a diet You'll be glad if you try it Happy + Hale will make you so happy! Each region seems to be inventing its own style of salad places, and most are anywhere from pure crap to iffy and mediocre. But not this one. The Triangle's own does have its issues, especially at the "Bull" Durham location, but they're well worth their salt (or lack thereof), and one of my 5 fave salad chains in the country, hands down (or hands up, if you feel like celebrating). So it's another new location for this wonderful salad place specific to the Try-Angle, which has excellent products and gives a decent-sized salad as well. Every bit as good as the much more busy version in Durham, but better because I've had some nasty experiences at the Durham one lately. Employees are angels at this one, and I really like it a lot. So much so that I brought Bae here, and she loved it too! We absolutely adored the salad, and while we ate half of them here, they were still good after sitting for hours, in a hotel room later. The chicken that she gave me was good but, one big problem is that they insist on you taking protein which factor into the cost, which isn't too cheap - and a lot of people don't want protein on their salad, myself included. It should be cheaper without the protein, for sure. The toppings and scoops are pretty good but the dressings are a real strong point with the wonderful chipotle pepper one, other than the incidence of sugar in it, is a very very good dressing, in fact I love it. If there's a down side to this specific location, it can be kind of a nightmare to get into this part of the plaza, and heavy traffic to get out, so watch out. And as I said, it's not a huge portion, they force protein on you factored into the price, and it's not cheap... but I love it, and it's better than 95% of salad places including 100% of the ones in NYC and DC, which is the region that invented these places. So instead of the usual epic salad fail, come and get an Epic Salad @ Hale!

It's been an interesting journey--because while I absolutely respect the tradition, my palate has definitely evolved over the years toward lighter, more elevated, visually beautiful food. That said, sometimes you just have to lean in and experience the classics. Tupelo Honey had been on my list for a while, so during a recent work trip to Raleigh-Durham, I decided to check it off. The location is in a very nice, upscale area--one of those shopping districts where, if you see a Whole Foods nearby, you know the neighborhood is going to be polished, safe, and easy to navigate. Parking was simple in a lot across the street, and since I had a reservation, I was seated quickly on the patio, which was lovely and comfortable. For starters, I ordered the "biscuits for a cause," which is a nice touch knowing the proceeds support employee relief and development funds. They were warm and classic Southern biscuits--exactly what you'd expect. For my entrée, I went with the honey-dusted fried chicken (dark meat), a true Southern staple. It was well prepared, flavorful, and satisfying, especially if you're in the mood for something hearty and traditional. I also tried a cocktail called "The Debutante," which was pleasant and refreshing, and finished the meal with the butter pecan cheesecake for dessert. Overall, the meal was good--solid, reliable Southern comfort food--but if I'm being completely honest, it wasn't particularly memorable for me. I was traveling for work and dining on a per diem, so it checked the box for a dependable dinner in a convenient location. As a larger regional chain, it feels a bit like a rite of passage when you're spending time in the Southeast--something you try once to understand the landscape. Bottom line: Tupelo Honey delivers classic Southern comfort food in a polished, accessible setting. Service was smooth, the patio was pleasant, and everything was executed well. For me personally, it was a good experience--but not one I'd necessarily go out of my way to repeat. Still, as I continue eating my way through the Carolinas and beyond, I'm glad I gave it a try.

If you are not from the area, the GPS will take you straight to it. There is a parking lot for the entire shopping plaza with free parking. If you like to work in coffee shops, this one gets a bit busy and noisy at times. Keep that in mind. The staff was friendly and helpful. The space is comfortable and common areas are clean. Overall, 100% recommended.

The place was crowded but there was no wait. I got seated immediately at a table near a column in the middle of the restaurant and Christy came over and asked if I wanted anything to drink. She brought me iced water and gave me time to look at the menu. I wanted to try so many things and I was too optimistic about ordering 3 things and finishing them myself. Good thing I only ordered 2 things! An order of fried catfish with home fries and one egg. And a biscuit with sausage gravy. The fried catfish was salted and well fried. It tasted delicious for my first bite! The home fries were basically cut potatoes, but they weren't very fried or flavored. I wished I ordered the side of apple sauce instead. The biscuit and sausage was good, but a bit too much for one person after eating a separate order already. Definitely bring more people so you can try more things. Also, I wished I had asked for sausage gravy on the side so I can try the biscuit on its own first as well. Furthermore, I would have more time to eat the catfish so I wasn't worried about the biscuit getting soggy. Christy came to check up on me every now and then. The place was buzzing with people and decorations so I didn't feel so alone. When it was time to pay, Christy brought me the check for me to pay at the cash register. Both Christy and the cashier were so friendly! The restaurant does have a women's and a mens restroom if needed.
