I recently met a group of friends at Hot Point Cafe, in North Hills Mall. It’s a brightly lit cafe offering a wide selection of food at very reasonable prices. I ordered the Crab …

I walked by Midtown and Bar 115 today on my way to Panera Bread at North Hills and noticed that they’d finished renovating. I believe they may have opened back up a few weeks ago. I didn’t actually go inside, but definitely plan on making it over there soon. What are everyone’s thoughts on the new look?

According to the Triangle Business Journal, Ruth’s Chris Steak House will take the place of JK’s at North Hills Raleigh. JK’s reportedly will close on February 23, and Ruth’s Chris is expected to open on April 1.
I’ll be sad to see JK’s go. I loved their bar and the bar menu, especially the Big Ass Burger. From what I observed, JK’s had a decent crowd whenever I went, so I’m not sure if they choose to close or if Kane decided not to renew their lease.
I can’t wait to try …

If you haven’t noticed yet, Midtown and Bar 115 has been closed because they’re re-modeling the restaurant. According to 115midtown.com, they’re redoing their website, too. The grand re-opening (of both the restaurant and the website) will be January 28.
I’m curious to see what changes they make. I actually have only eaten there once, but when I did, the food was great.
Check out our page about Midtowne and Bar 115 to see more information about the restaurant (hours, contact info, etc). Some of this may change once they reopen, and if …

The Chick-Fil-A at North Hills recently opened its own website, cfanorthhills.com.
The site has basic information about this Chik-Fil-A location and a few features. There is a link to online ordering, however its only if you want to order a LOT of chicken sandwiches ($100 minimum for delivery, $30 minimum for pickup). There is also a calendar of North Hills events and other information about the restaurant.
One thing I hadn’t seen before is that every Tuesday night is Kid’s Night. From 5-8pm, kids can get a free 4ct …

Open Table is a great resource that allows you to make dinner reservations online. A couple North Hills restaurants have joined the select group of Open Table in Raleigh to make booking that reservation easy. I hate calling restaurants now, because you often get the automated answering service and you have to hit a few numbers before you can even speak to a real person. With Open Table, those days are over. All you have to do is pick the restaurant, pick a time and then they send you a …
