Food Truck Time: Valentino's at Southern Peak Brewery…read more I've had this food truck in the past and unfortunately am not a fan of it. We tried the Steve-O meatball hero, deep fried ravioli and 2 small cannoli's this time. A small cannoli was only $1/each so I really enjoyed that. The other menu items that we tried were okay but too unhealthy for me. The service was friendly so that was pleasant.

I cannot give Steven Valentino, his team, and his food enough praise. We had the truck out for our…read morewedding, and the guests didn't stop raving about the food and experience. Absolutely delicious options and an awesome guy running the show. 100% recommend for any event or wherever you can find this truck around town! My wife and I will definitely be finding any opportunity to book more events with Valentino's.

In a world where customer service is hard to find, Ironbox greets you with a smile and makes you feel so welcome. Try adding the pineapple jam to your sandwich with a little cholula for the best sweet and spicy combo. The bacon bites are also the perfect side.

There's a bench if you want to stay and eat, sometimes when it's too sunny they'll have an umbrella to provide shade.

It was recommended to add Cholula hot sauce to the ketchup for a nice kick. It didn't disappoint. Too good!

The service was great and everything came to us as soon as it was made so super hot. They even had a fancy tea dispenser that did sweet / unsweetened and you could add lemonade! Super convenient location and the restaurant and bathroom were super clean! Definitely visit again!

This place is a little hidden gem in a random strip mall. I was on an epic day of thrifting with my…read moremom, and so at one of our stops we yelped a lunch option nearby. We both love Mediterranean food, and the reviews were great, so we stopped in. The chef makes everything to order, and she evidentially is the former owner, who sold her shop in order to spend more time with grandkids. She's lovely! As we waited for our food there were a few others who came in and seemed to be regulars who knew how good this place is. I got chicken shawarma deluxe, and it was perfect. No notes! My mom got the vegetarian platter and specifically raved about the falafel- they were like adorable little donuts and really tasty. I would highly recommend this place! Glad to hear a change in ownership didn't seem to cause any issues.

Pretty frustrated right now, ordered a regular size bowl and a small size bowl. When the items were…read moredelivered, they were both small size. Actually called up to the restaurant and mentioned to the gentleman that answered that I received two small bowls instead of one regular one small and he was slightly rude, a little bit argumentative and said that I was wrong and they were both regular.. Wasn't worth getting into an argument with a stranger about it, thankfully DoorDash made it right. The barbecue mac & cheese was good however the bacon jam one we did not care for.

This spot was okay. I ordered the jerk vegan mac with cauliflower and the beet and kale salad. My…read moremom ordered the taco mac- she rated it 3.5/5. My vegan jerk mac was pretty decent, I'd give it about a 3/5. There was flavor but no seasoning if that makes sense. As for the salad, for $6, I am pissed about the amount of salad given. It was gone in like 4 forkfuls, very skimpy. There were like 7 leaves of kale and3 cubes of beets- I could've gotten a better and larger portion for the same price at Panera. On the fence about coming back.

The last two times I've been in, I've had to clean my table before I even sat down. Here you pick up your own food and clean your own table after your meal. Trying to figure out what I'm tipping since I'm doing several of the things I normally tip for. I get my own beverage, get my own food, and I've had to buss my own tables. I wish restaurants with this type of atmosphere would stop adding this tip line. It's almost insulting to the guest.

Food Truck Time: Sarge's Chef on Wheels at the Durham Food Truck Rodeo…read more We ordered the Caribbean Jerk Chicken Skewers and I was not a fan. Only one skewer had pineapple and chicken, the other only had chicken so it was not good for splitting. I took one bite of a chicken piece and spit it out immediately, it was way too mushy. My mom agreed. It had been marinating for way too long. We ended up throwing it away unfortunately.

Ordering is done at the counter, and you are given a number, and it is brought out to you. The Lemon Tree has sandwiches, salads and soups to order. The menu changes weekly. You can order a sandwich, two sides, a beverage and a dessert for a good price. I went with the egg salad sandwich and selected two sides, my limeade and a brownie, all for $11. The egg salad was delicious, as were my sides of basil, tomato and cucumber and the berry salad. I liked that the Lemon Tree offers fresh and healthier options than other places. Both the food and service were excellent this visit.

When my son said the lemonade wasn't sweet enough she added some more simple syrup to sweeten it. I got the pimento grilled cheese and dill potato salad. It was all delicious and I'm patiently waiting for a chance to go back. It was amazing. They've moved and merged with page 158 so it's a quaint little space and a book club was going on in the space. It quickly got busy. But definitely worth checking out.

Also, I love that you can get another scoop of chicken salad as your side. Bonus chicken salad! Kickin' Kay Lynne Sandwich: Pretty spicy and really tasty! The white bread paired perfectly with it, and I thought the spicy chicken salad was delicious as a sandwich. Olivia's Old South: Yum! This is probably the best chicken salad I've ever had. Loved the sweet pickles and egg mixed in. It was delicious with the included crackers. I can see why people love this place. I wish there was a location closer to me!

This was my first visit to this location. I do not know Raleigh well, so I had a little bit of a…read morehard time finding the entrance, but got there ok. There is plenty of parking around the building that it shares with a Butcher Shop store. The location was clean and bright and the menu was easy to read. I did visit the bathroom and it was clean as well. The service was not as good as my location....I had to stand for a bit before the girl acknowledged me and even though I told her I was a reward member, she did not mention I got a free drink. My location would have told me....but I will go to my location before the end of the month to eat and get my drink then. I had just eaten at a nearby location, but went in for cake. They had both kinds, the red velvet and the white chocolate. I chose the white chocolate this time and intended to take it home and share it....well, it was near 5:00 and the traffic was terrible going back to Fuquay, so at a stop light I decided to try it. OH WOW, it was sooo fresh and sooo good....by the time I got to Fuquay, an hour later, it was almost gone. Opps.....should have gotten two I guess... I will stop in again when i am in the area and hopefully have a better experience....glad this one was a quick take out.
