Just dont get rid of the Pork nachos !!!!! They are good !!!

I’m really gonna miss the shrimp and grits …

Fish N Chips is still there. 1st under Plates.

i do miss the bibb salad

Is their guacamole that good? I need to give it a try. Is it better than Cafe Capistrano’s?

While I agree that in the past their burger has been very good, the last number of times I’ve been there it was overcooked, dry and disappointing. However, the pork nachos have always been spot on.

Prices at this place for lunch are a joke (look at the picture of that sandwich (and it is smaller in person for almost $10 with a drink). McAllister’s is a better bargain (sandwich, side and drink for around $7 and the sandwich is double the size of Raleigh Times). Ate lunch at Times once, that was enough!

Nick,
I should say, as the photographer of the picture, that the Reuben is plenty big, even for my voracious appetite. Maybe I just didn’t get a good angle on it!
On the other hand, I didn’t particularly like the reuben. It was kind of bland, and yes, my sandwich and a Coke was $12 after tip. No chips, no fries; just the delicious little bean salad pictured. I really think the RT is a great option for dinner.
Though I can’t say that McAllister’s is a good alternative! I wish I liked that restaurant, but it doesn’t do a thing for me.

The comment about the guacamole being Raleighs best(at lunch or any other time) is laughable. I’m a big fan or The Times and their food. I have been promoting and talking about their food since day 1. While the Guac is good..it’s just that..good–not great! On top of that it’s hit or miss…most of the time being on the short side while hidden with a little pico on top. If you want good Guac go to Jibarra. If you want the worlds best pickle chips, raleighs best burger..go to the times.

I must admit that I haven’t been to the Times much since Ashley Christensen left. Every time I’ve had the guacamole it was outstanding. Jibarra’s is good, but it gets points off for using lime juice.

Lime juice..no lime juice..its flat out better. Forget better..its just good.

I’d be willing to bet that the times uses lime juice these days too.

I’m an enormous fan of the times..but their food has dipped in the past yr or more. I find myself ordering the pork nachos less and less..actually, not at all…I used to covet it..often talking about it outside of the restaurant. In the time since Ashley left, I have slowly whittled down the menu(in my mind) as to what is worth ordering. I still love the place and some of the menu items..I am, though, looking forward to trying the cuban and a few other things.

Who mentioned McAlister’s??? Can we ban this person? haha

Not worth the change.

What is worth the dough, Dana, is Fat Tire beer, now being served along with its darker cousin, 1554, at the Flying Saucer.

While its nice that Fat Tire is now being served in this part of the country, its still an average, run of the mill brew when compared to other craft brewed ales. I imagine it will get many folks in this area pretty excited but its considered pretty average in other parts of the country.
