Thank you Shannon for getting us up there. It was superb! The greatest attribute of a restaurant is when you are TOO full... And then you order TWO desserts... Get here. Service was also superb.

We had the pleasure of dining at Poole’s last night. OUTSTANDING! Excellent service, fantastic beer and wine selection, and the food was delicious. Everything you have ever heard about their Mac-N-Cheese is true. The way they seat people is a bit strange, but hey, it works for them. We will be return customers for sure.

It was our first visit and we were not disappointed (except that we couldn’t try the macaroni and cheese gratin since it wasn’t on the brunch menu.) All three entrees that we had, shrimp po’ boy, shrimp and grits and egg Benedict were all delicious! We’ll definitely be back!

This place is simply delicious...Off the beaten path of downtown Raleigh, a welcoming awaits from staff. I wanted to stay longer after finishing our meal it was that inviting! Love the idea of the chalkboard menus. The food from start to finish & service was so creative...pickled spiced pumpkin with burrata & prosciutto, Pink Lady Salad, cauliflower veloute, and short rib pot pie & squash with sage & sausage...the desserts were just as tasty! Go soon & enjoy!

Great food in an old school diner setting with a modern twist.
