I love the Rockford and I have been going there since it opened in the mid 90s. The food is delicious! Lots of tasty gourmet sandwiches and of course, the Mission Style Burrito which is a long time favorite of mine. All the food is under $10 and there are many vegetarian options as well as lots of choices for meat eaters. I love the atmosphere. The music is always great and not too loud. It's on the 2nd floor of an old building and has big windows that look out over Glenwood avenue. The Rockford also functions as a bar and is open late night for drinks.
The Rockford is located on Glenwood South so it's a great place for dinner before a night out on the town. The only downside is that it is very popular so you may have a long wait to be seated (up to 40 minutes). They do have a nice bar, so I recommend hanging out and having a drink while you wait.
In short, I love the Rockford and so does my husband and my friends. We often meet there for a good meal or to socialize and have a drink. I think that people don't usually bother to write a review of a place when they have good experiences, so I am not surprised that there are a few bad reviews. I don't remember any bad experiences with the staff and I have been going there a long time... The bartender, Rob always remembers my favorite beer when he sees me at the bar, and I have always been treated well by the wait staff, many of which have been there for years.
If you haven't already, the Rockford is definitely worth checking out!
Pros: Great food, vegetarian friendly, good location
Cons: Very popular so you may have a long wait to be seated

My daughter & I, along with 2 very close family friends, arrived a bit early for our appointment but our consultant, Susie, was ready to help us immediately. The store was busy with prom dress buyers & their friends & moms, along with a couple other brides with moms trying on dresses. All the consultants, including the owner, were gracious, helpful, patient & kind with all. After many gowns and narrowing our choices down to "3", my daughter tried on each dress again for us to pick our "favorite." There was not pressure or pushiness to buy, just a lot of time & work on the workers' behalf to make a bride feel special & beautiful. The next day the bride, daddy & I went to another location that carried a differnt brand of dress we were interested in. Afterwards, we wanted the bride's daddy to see what we saw the previous day so we called Diamond's & Susie told us to definitely come back in. She and the owner were ready for us! When trying on "the" dress, they chose jewelry & hair comb and dressed her in that too and then did the "WOW" factor by turning off all the lights except the running light. Our bride just glistened! It was incredible. The price of the gown is very reasonable. Susie had asked for the bride's "budget" & she only showed us gowns in that price range. We looked at the dress on line & the pricing is the same. We could not have received better customer service, personal attention and making the experience of trying on dresses more exciting. Thank you, ladies, for all you do. You have a special gift and talent. We appreciate your service.

I'm a huge wine snob, and never will get wine out usually just because wine lists places tend to be not only overpriced, but filled with absoute garbage. the wine list at second empire is a diamond in a rough. they have lots of great wines availible and an excellent food menu to complement them. By the glass or by the bottle the wine is priced decently, and is actually good bottles worth drinking out.

I'm fairly new to Irregardless but like to think I'm becoming a regular. I have been several times now, both for lunch and dinner. My servers have always been helpful in their recommendations, and I've thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes I've tried. The food is fantastic! The owner is very personable and has remembered me and made me feel welcome. I plan on bringing out-of-town friends here for dinner so they can see more of what Raleigh is all about!
Pros: Delicious food, friendly staff, great atmosphere
Cons: None

Ole Time BBQ knows how to flavor a pig, by not masking the taste with heavy sauces. Simply put, pork tastes good and only needs the right tender care to bring out the best flavor. These guys know how to bring out the flavor by slow cooking, light seasoning and and providing a unique dining experience every time you visit.
The hot sauce is a family recipe that is like no other I've ever tasted and brings the right amount of heat, which is great cause then you get to chug the delicious sweet tea right after those heaping bites of goodness.
Pros: Best Hot Sauce I've ever Had...period
Cons: Jerry the owner, will make you laugh till you cry

This is such a neat dining spot! After a long day of shopping or running errands, eating here really hits the spot because they always have something I am in the mood for. It also works as a great place to stop by and have a drink at after a long day. And don?t even try to use every ounce of your willpower to stay away from the dessert case, you will, and should cave every time.
Pros: Great food, Amazing Dessert

Im sorry but you are quite mistaken...The place is great, food is wonderful and the new paint color on the walls makes the place feel bright and inviting....before it was dark and gothic like. I have met many new people at this wonderful coffee shop and everyone that comes in just LOVES it. It sounds like your an ex employee looking for revenge or something (this is not the right way to do it). Get another job and stop complaining. Everytime i come in i get greeted with a smile and by my name. The new owner is AWESOME and enjoys helping customers when they open up to her. She has helped me alot in the short time she has been here. Also if you need to meet with a group of people this is the perfect place to do so. Every week there is a group in here with an activity in the back room and every first friday its a different environment. So if you dont like the place a smart thing to do is just dont Go and find something else to do than to bother.
Pros: Best chicken salad...
Cons: cant think of any...check it out for yourselves
