Yep. After years of living in Raleigh, it suddenly came to my attention that I had never ventured towards the Irregardless cafe. How had this happened? Imagine living in NYC for years and never going to a broadway show, or the East Village for shopping, or ever actually looking skyward...this is how I felt.
Anniversary time came and hopes were high. Result? Bad food, dated ""hip"" 1990's decor and even worse service.
Like the title said, I want to like this place. Positive atmosphere and an owner who is famous in Raleigh for being a fun kook.
But just like being a NCSU sports fan, you love 'em but can cuss 'em like a Heel fan.
Pros: owner, jazz, positive vibes
Cons: food, decor, price
