This place is a personal favorite of mine. A true hidden gem, sorta. I really don't want to leave a review. Because then it gets busier. I have nothing but great things to say. The food is always amazing. The staff is friendly, quick and always smiling. Outdoor seating. But good luck on a gorgeous day. I should add plenty of indoor seating too. They aren't a pizza place, honestly they are my top 3 in Raleigh for their meaty or ite. Having said that EVERYTHING is great. I have never had a bad meal here. Now I'm hungry again. Time to go there.

Unfortunately, we were those jerks that came in right as they were closing! Even still, we received excellent service. From the deli section, we picked butternut squash lasagna, Mac-n-cheese, chicken fingers & broccoli salad— with quiche and chicken salad for tomorrow. Everything was delicious! My partner raved about how absolutely fabulous the chicken was. He said it was moist and well-seasoned with a flaky crust. We’ll certainly be back soon.

So all the five star reviewers weren't kidding. We got the meat pizza and the brisket tacos. Both were delicious! Jackie, so wonderful and kind, made us feel welcome and taken care of. She spoiled us with some southern classics since we had just moved from Colorado. It was a great experience!

Love their turkey Reuben sandwich, great outdoor seating but they’re sort of on the pricier side

Great lunch place with lots of options. The staff was delightful. It was our first visit and they gave us a complimentary pimento cheese tray. The veggie lover sandwich was great and the homemade chips were fabulous. The atmosphere was pleasant. We look forward to trying the dinner menu.

Have not had the chance to check out this gem in North Raleigh in a while. Personally, I love the concept of counter service for lunch and a fine dining experience at dinner. Had a great time at the bar before heading to an event at Quail Ridge Books. You have to check this place out. Excellent customer service. Super high quality. The Old Fashioned was delicious as were the croquettes and parm fries.

Poppyseed is one of our go to’s, especially on a nice day! For lunch, it’s order at the counter but they bring it to your table when it’s ready. Dinner is full service. There’s ample indoor seating and maybe 15 outdoor tables (give or take). We love to go for lunch, grab a drinks and sit outside. We always come home with a tub of chicken salad. We usually like it better with a dash of salt and sometimes it can be a little onion heavy but it’s overall a delicious shredded chicken salad. The chicken salad sandwich comes on a croissant (pictured) so obviously that’s a hit! The mixed green salad is delicious! It’s a little sweet between the craisins and vinegrette. (Also pictured) We also enjoy the macaroni salad and the egg salad.
