Let's take a trip back in time and go to Shorty's!…read more Shorty's reminds me of an old tyme lunch counter. This place is no frills, but it doesn't need to be. We had a couple of regular hot dogs. Hubby had his with just mustard, and mine was mustard, onions and relish. A great lunch! If you're looking for fancy, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a good lunch, you don't want to pass up Shorty's! And it's not just hot dogs. I think I remember burgers, cheese sandwich, fries...several other options.. Counter service was quick!

We ordered the peaches & cream sour and the Pilsner-style lager- both delicious. I had a dirty dog (sauerkraut & mustard) hot dog and my partner had the speckled pup (pork belly & slaw)- if I wasn't filled up on the chicken wings, I'd would have ordered another. We tried to bbq chipotle chicken wings as well, they were very good but I'd probably want to try out the hot honey next time. I'll definitely stop again on our way back. FYI, whoever was running the playlist that day can DJ any event I attend.

This place is definitely not fast food, took nearly 15 minutes just to get a burger and fries. I was expecting it to be phenomenal after waiting so long, but the burger was very plain and had very little flavor. And the fries were undercooked, they weren't crispy at all. The prices are good, but I really don't think I would waste my time coming back here again.

TLDR: Decent prices with ample options to choose from. Order online or at the window. Took about…read more10 minutes to receive my order. Parking lot out front. Stopped here for lunch. After seeing poor reviews I had low expectations. However, I was across the street and this restaurant was convenient. I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The menu is easy to read, prices are reasonable, and the food is ready quickly. I do wish they had places to sit when waiting for orders since it takes about 10 minutes (or longer/shorter based on how busy they are). Order online for pick-up if you are limited on time. We chose the beef hound dog (beef hot dog topped with mustard and chili) for $3.19, large fry for $2.85, hush puppies for $1.35, and bull dog for $2.69. I'm not a fan of crinkle cut fries, but they were fresh and the hush puppies were delicious. The order was accurate and everything was packaged well. Overall, we like the option of a more affordable meal and left satisfied.

I visited the Roast Grill in January after years of looking down on the building from my former…read moreGannett Fleming office at One Glenwood and wondering what was inside this little Raleigh institution. The Roast Grill feels less like a restaurant and more like a preserved piece of mid-20th-century Americana hidden in plain sight along West Street. The narrow counter, wood-paneled walls, neon beer signs, Coca-Cola memorabilia, handwritten notices, old photographs, Hurricanes tributes, and decades of accumulated objects create an atmosphere that simply cannot be manufactured today. The place reminded me a little of Chicago's famous Billy Goat Tavern--especially the feeling of discovering something authentic tucked beneath an increasingly overbuilt urban streetscape. I ordered two hot dogs all the way with mustard, onions, chili, and slaw--absolutely NO ketchup, of course--along with a Coke in a glass bottle. The chili is legendary and reportedly takes up to three days to prepare. Whether that is folklore or fact, it certainly gives the hot dogs a flavor unlike almost anywhere else in Raleigh. One of my favorite details was the mounted goat wearing a red hat beneath the neon beer signs. It somehow fits perfectly within the visual layering and quirky personality of the interior. Even the traditions remain intact. At the end of the meal, every customer receives a Tootsie Roll. Places like the Roast Grill are becoming increasingly rare. It is not just a hot dog stand--it is a living piece of Raleigh history. If interested, you can view my post in "The Architecture of..."

The hot dog nor the chili were for me. My dog had an almost burnt flavor and the chili had an overly liquidity density without a lot of flavor. I loved the glass bottle cokes.
