The House of Blue

I really like:

Cheapside Bar and Grill (corner or Short and Mill) - can recommend their roast pork tenderloin, Cuban sandwich or the fish sandwich.

deSha's isn't bad either (Main & Broadway - just north of Tri-Angle Park)

If you're looking for a Burger ain't nuthin' like a Ho @ Tolly Ho's (Bolivar St, & So. Broadway)

For Pizza there's always Joe Bologna (120 W. Maxwell)

Mexican - The Local Taco (315 So. Limestone - close to Two Keys)

Those are five of my favorites in the downtown area.

Just made myself really hungry!

You could always do Cheapside or the Local Taco before and Tolly Ho after.

Mellow Mushroom for Pizza and LARGE Craft beer selection.

Go Cats!

All those places are good, so, you better get here early (between 4:00 and 4:30) if the game's at 7:00. They'll be packed.

If you need something quick and you're in the mood for pizza, GoodFella's is awesome NY style pizza within walking distance of Rupp.
