Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Holly Springs

Heron’s is phenomenal and they made my anniversary brunch experience the best! Everything from the service to the food to the kindness of the staff was exceptional! I will be back!

Southern Cooking with an uplifting flavor profile Appetizer Fried Green Tomatoes. This is generally not my favorite dish, but the waiter recommended it as one of the staples. Every slice of tomato was perfectly crisp with a consistent golden color and crunch exterior with a tender, tangy interior. The bold flavors that topped the tomatoes between the spice of the Voodoo Sauce, the creamy richness of the blue cheese dressing, and the smoky crunch of bacon, this was a perfect blend, creating a remarkable rendition of a classic that even I loved. Entrees Braised Beef & Egg Sandwich. The main ingredient of the dish – braised beef – truly melted in your mouth, coupled with the creamy texture and flavor of the Havarti cheese, creating the perfect base for this complex dish. The light and fluffy scrambled eggs, coupled with the baby arugula, brought a creamy, peppery freshness that truly balanced the richness of the beef and cheese. This sandwich was placed between two slices of toasted challah bread bun, which provided a sweetness that complemented the overall savory aspects of the dish. Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf. Comfort food at its finest. The meatloaf was juicy and full of flavor, wrapped in the crispy, smoky bacon, creating a nice crunch with every bite you took. The rich gravy poured over the meatloaf was a spark of deliciousness, paired with onions to add a touch of sweetness to the dish. The flavors were well-balanced and really raised the bar for a classic meatloaf. Nestled in a bed of mashed potatoes and a side of shaved brussel sprouts brought in all the necessary components to provide perfect harmony in the entire dish. Overall If you are in need of comfort food and don’t want the same ole dishes, you need to take a chance and go to Lucky 32, which really raises the bar and the expectations of a true take on classic southern cuisine.

Mulino is hands-down my favorite restaurant not just in Raleigh, but in general. The food is phenomenal, the staff and service experience is fantastic, and it all comes at a reasonable price. The architecture/venue is interesting and very calming but still makes you feel like you’re having a high level cuisine experience! I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! 

Always a pleasurable experience. Service is always fantastic as well as professional. I would highly recommend going here for lunch or dinner.

The food, staff and service were very good! It was Christmas Eve and a bit busy, but the staff really steps up and covers for each other. Refreshing. Filling water glasses, clearing plates, etc. Will return soon.
