You can't set yourself up like that. It's in the bylaws.

"I wish the chicken and waffles had come with syrup"

I don't understand this. The first time I ordered it back when it was after 10PM, they just brought it to me without asking.

Today, the guy asked me "oh, and do you want any maple syrup or anything?" as he's about to walk away. Thought it was kind of odd.

And if you didn't know to ask you wouldn't get it, a la your party.

...by the way, were you the four people sitting at the communal table with two MEN OF LARGENESS?

11/4/2011 11:43:20 PM

when we went this chick i was with ordered chicken salad. i didn't see that on the menu, but it was delicious!

also, i think i'd rather just have honey instead of syrup!

11/5/2011 12:27:38 AM

There's a salad on the menu now but I didn't know there was chicken in it.

11/5/2011 1:21:40 AM

^3 lol yeah that was us. We debated asking for syrup but by the time we could have asked anyone for it we decided fuck it and just ate it as is.

I too was there when the men of largeness were at the community table

Now I've had Beasley's and Chuck's.

I'm much more likely to go back to Chuck's than Beasley's, though I would not turn down Beasley's.
Dame's Chicken and Waffles in Durham is better, imho.

Chuck's was delish. I've been there twice in a week. I had the Spirit Animal and the Last Word. The 5oz. size is plenty for me. I took my boyfriend there and we got a small burger, a large burger, and split a spiked milkshake and the large fries for $29ish. That's pricey for lunch (even downtown) but not insane and we had WAY more food than we could finish.

The spiked milkshakes even have enough booze in them that you can actually taste it! We had a banana/peanut butter one with dark rum.

I will be back! The servers have all been exceptionally nice at both places when I've gone. My roommate's girlfriend works at Beasley's but I haven't caught her at work yet.

Once I go to Fox I'll have caught them all.

OMG Something in Durham better than in Raleigh? BLASPHEMY!!!

I have yet to try Dames though, seriously. Gonna get on that, asap.

11/6/2011 2:01:28 PM

^It's so good! I liked Beasley's food-wise but the atmosphere at Dame's is a little more relaxed and more my speed.

11/6/2011 2:04:12 PM

I agree with what you said about the service at Beasleys. It was pretty fantastic when I went. I guess it's because we didn't get that douche tommy wiseau waiting on us. Just kidding, tommy wiseau...

11/6/2011 2:05:53 PM

I really enjoyed my meal at chuck's but its the same sort of thing as Beasley's. If you just think "Oh its only fried chicken it shouldn't cost this much" you're going to be disappointed.

11/7/2011 10:16:55 AM

Hoping that my sister will agree to take me here when I come into town over the Thanksgiving weekend. Fried chicken is everything special to me.

it's pretty fucking tasty

I was trying to hit up Beasley's this weekend, but we went for a brunch buffet instead....I'll get there soon

The Southern burger at Chuck's was way better than the equivalent burger at Draft/Tribeca Tavern.

Raleigh Times still has my favorite burger. I just like that huge slab of hamburger cooked medium rare with some pepper jack cheese and mayo. Simple and delicious. I guess I'm just not into toppings. I do like slaw sometimes.

A good burger should be treated like a good steak and be minimally topped or sauced imho.

11/7/2011 10:52:26 AM

^ Meh...I disagree. I mean, a plain burger using good beef and cooked to perfection can hold it's on...but ground beef doesn't really compare to a steak using high quality beef.

And a great burger with a slice of fresh tomato, crisp lettuce, good cheese of your choice, and a couple slices of crisp bacon is absolutely delicious.

I always forget to try this damn place when I'm actually downtown. fwp

11/7/2011 12:11:10 PM

Wait there's a burger with avocado?

Oh god yes.

11/7/2011 2:23:27 PM

i've said it before and i'll say it again
everything is better with avocado!

11/7/2011 5:01:30 PM

probably going to try chuck's for lunch today, assuming it is open

11/11/2011 8:16:37 AM

I don't know why it wouldn't be on a Friday.

11/11/2011 8:18:32 AM

I haven't gone back yet

BUT I WILL, GOSH DARNIT

11/11/2011 8:21:01 AM

For anyone going to Wilmington Street for lunch, don't forget about the parade today.

11/11/2011 8:26:00 AM

it's a holiday.....
some places close. some places don't.

11/11/2011 8:26:32 AM

I think the only places closed for Veteran's Day are the banks and post office

11/11/2011 8:27:43 AM

occasionally, other places of business choose to close on various holidays

11/11/2011 8:32:40 AM

True, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a single restaurant in Raleigh that is closed on Veteran's Day.

11/11/2011 8:34:37 AM

ok, i give up. you are clearly so much more knowledgeable than i am when it comes to dining out.

11/11/2011 8:37:00 AM

yeah, Meg, you won't find many restaurants closed today.

Unless they're run by vets or something, maybe.

11/11/2011 8:44:01 AM

i remember ruckus trying to close on memorial day one year because the bartenders didn't want to work, so, it's not completely unlikely.

11/11/2011 8:46:42 AM

I can't think of a single restaurant in the world that is closed today

11/11/2011 8:48:03 AM

REAL americans would close their business down and thank veterans and shit

11/11/2011 8:50:37 AM

Real real Americans would stay open and donate 110% of their proceeds today to the USO

11/11/2011 8:51:33 AM

Capitalist terrorist^

11/11/2011 8:51:59 AM

REAL AMERICANS WOULD BE FIGHTING FOR THEIR COUNTRY INSTEAD OF STAYING HOME AND GETTING FAT ON DELICIOUS CHEESEBURGERS

11/11/2011 8:52:03 AM

mmmmmm cheeseburgers...

11/11/2011 8:53:03 AM

lol. there's a major disconnect in the amount of employees who would like to have off every holiday, and the amount of restaurant managers who are willing to close.

11/11/2011 8:56:19 AM

one of the chicks called me and was like "hey, since you're on tww can you ask bdmazur to not have a going away get together tonight so we can be closed?" i was all.... lolwut

probably not your idea, but still funny

hahaha wtf

11/11/2011 8:59:15 AM

I totally believe it.

11/11/2011 9:02:52 AM

what a jew

11/11/2011 9:05:36 AM

I had the chicken and waffles again on Wednesday. It was good, but I think I prefer the straight up white-meat chicken.

11/11/2011 10:46:46 AM

Dark meat all the way!

11/11/2011 11:39:02 AM

beasley's is good but chuck is better

11/11/2011 11:43:06 AM

super disappointed by the banana pudding... not good!
