Today I went to Chic-Fil-A at North Hills to grab some nuggets and fries for lunch. It was an awesome day outside and it’s only going to get better this weekend!

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.
