9 Best Southern Restaurants near Knightdale

“** Long Post Warning** OOHHHHH MYYYYYY GOOOOOODDDDDDD! Outside of Texas I have never had such delicious barbecue. The brisket will have you crying like a baby and the I house made pimento cheese sausage is crazy! The bbq rice is perfect and the pork bbq is ridiculous and flavor packed to the last bite. The whole staff is pretty much Military Veterans and you can see and hear them working together to make sure service is quick and seamless. The best barbecue place in NC hands down. Each year he honors active duty and military veterans with free food for the whole family. Most places that do military meals only give it to the military person and it's usually a lunch size portion of 3-4 options on a limited menu. Not at Prime. You get the same options and portions for free as you would if you paid. I have a family of 6 so imagine what kind of bill we usually have. To have that paid for and get the quality of food we get is mind blowing. Prime has a special table that can be reserved by veterans or active duty that seats 8-10 people and it's awesome. The owner Christopher Prieto is the most genuine and humble man on earth. My wife sat down to eat one day and he seen my Navy Veteran shirt. He asked me if he could sit down and thanked me for my service and just started talking to me and my wife like we knew each other all our lives. I knew I seen his face before and then I realized he was on Food Networks Chopped in the barbecue championship representing NC. My family is a family of faith and so is he. He talked to us about how God gave him his vision and his purpose for the restaurant and how he uses proceeds to help veterans and families in need have meals and basic necessities as his way of showing the love of the Lord. I cannot say enough about this place. My wife and I go every chance we get.“

“Solid BBQ, one star off because I feel they're skimpy on the meat portions. I ordered the 2 meat plate with brisket and ribs. Received 1-1/2 slices of brisket and 2 ribs. The baked beans were terrific and the mac & cheese was very good. Great staff also.“

“Came for the first time with a friend and while the food was good, the service we got from Samantha was amazing! She was incredibly patient, helpful, and overall seemed to love what she does! We will be back because of the is experience, thank you Samantha!“

“I just discovered The Farmhouse a few months ago. What a delightful surprise. The food is fresh and delicious. I am particularly fond of the Salmon Smorrebrod. The service is quick, the staff is always friendly. And the prices are reasonable. I’ve only been at lunch, but with the two stories of windows and sunshine The atmosphere is very inviting“

“We went on Tuesday, 4/2, for a late breakfast. We were seated and the server, Chas, greeted us with a friendly welcome. The restaurant has a country atmosphere that we liked. Took our order and plied us with good hot coffee. My wife had a spinach and mushroom omelet and I had a pork loin breakfast. They were served before we could finish our first cup of coffee and the tastes were scrumptious. The biscuits were light and fluffy. The next time we are in Raleigh, we will eat here again.“

“Called in an order and when we picked it up, we could smell the food. The proprietor was there and enjoyed having a conversation with him. The hostess was so pleasant and she smiled the whole time which was so nice to see so late. Finally getting home and oh my goodness is all I can say. Whew I had to push myself from the table. Everything was hot and had so much flavor! FYI, those smothered chops were some kind of good!! Try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Met a good friend for a late breakfast. The smoked sausage with eggs, grits and biscuit were good. Next time, I'll try to remember to skip the coffee, it's weak and definitely skip the $8 pancake. While it's huge, mine was too brown = a little dry. The fellowship and service = 4 star rating.“

“Was a little reluctant to stop by as I seen the reviews, however our experience was fabulous. Was greeted, order taken and amazing food came without that long of a wait. The environment is wonderful and I will be back ❤️Parking: Huge parking lot behind the entranceKid-friendliness: They have a kid menuWheelchair accessibility: I see a person dining in the restaurant“

“The service is excellent and the staff is accommodating as always as you would expect from this Bojangles branch. The rest room is the most tidy of all their outlets that I have visited. I don't have to talk about their food as theirs is the same throughout North Carolina! God speed!“
