\nThis BBQ joint is a cut above the rest, serving up some of the most succulent meats in the state.
\nNot only is the food awesome, there always seems to be live music playing. \u00a0The pulled pork seems to be the sandwich favorite, but just make sure you don\u2019t leave without trying the fried banana peppers.<\/p>\n3. Burgers + Sushi = Cowfish!<\/h2>\n

\nVery rarely do you see burgers and sushi being served in the same place, but somehow Cowfish pulls it off. \u00a0While this joint has your standard sushi rolls and burgers, they also have a creation that\u2019s entirely their own\u2026Burgushi.
\nBurgushi is a unique fusion that combines the best parts of burgers and sushi for a truly unforgettable meal. One popular \u201cburgushi\u201d item is the \u201cDeliverance Roll,\u201d which consists of pulled pork, onion, and BBQ sauce rolled in soy paper and potato strings. Then it\u2019s flash-fried and topped with bacon coleslaw and chives.<\/p>\n4. This Kitty Hawk Classic Will Keep You Coming Back<\/h2>\n

\nIt\u2019s usually pretty hard to find a brewery that has anything more than typical pub food options, but this isn\u2019t the case at Mash House. \u00a0Brewery meets steakhouse, Mash House is a great place to go if you want some good food and a good local craft beer. \u00a0
\nThe Prime Rib is probably the best thing on the menu, a melt-in-your-mouth steak paired perfectly with a homemade steak sauce. \u00a0If it\u2019s your first time through the doors, it\u2019s recommended that you try the 4 beer sampler to narrow down a favorite.<\/p>\n9.

\nIt doesn\u2019t get more Southern than chicken & waffles and there\u2019s no better place to get them than from Dame\u2019s. \u00a0Not only do the many types of waffles come with many types of chicken, they also come with a delicious flavored shmear that really works to complete the meal.
\nOne of the fan favorites is the \u201cQuilted Buttercup,\u201d which is a chicken cutlet sandwiched between two sweet potato waffles served with a side of maple-pecan shmear.<\/p>\n10. Viva La Chicken!<\/h2>\n

\nIf you\u2019re not putting your chicken on waffles, you should be eating it Peruvian style at Viva Chicken.
\nThe name might be a bit deceiving, but the menu actually has a ton of options that aren\u2019t chicken based like the very popular quinoa stuffed avocados. \u00a0You\u2019d be hard pressed to find another place like this anywhere in North Carolina.<\/p>\n
