You will never find a more magnificent view, looking inside or out, than the one from this historic restaurant. Almost rivaling the tranquil beauty of the river view is the cozy atmosphere created by our collection of old tools, antiques, and historic photography. Of course, there's the fabulous seafood, steaks and the freshest rainbow trout. Not to mention a fine selection of wines and full bar.

Burgeoning with eclectic restaurants and spirited nightlife, this corner of town attracts the young, the hip, the still-want-to-be-hip. Raleigh's trendiest district defines what it means to live for weekends—early evenings find families strolling along the main strip, but by nightfall this district surrenders to a street party. The night air is charged with energy, and live music spills out of bars and gives Glenwood Avenue a soundtrack all its own.

Gus's casual checkered tablecloths and concrete floors hint at this location's humble past as a machine shop, and you might lift an eyebrow at Gus's self-proclaimed "world famous" status, but this poultry haven has indeed cultivated an enviable reputation. The recipe for Gus's success: bone-in chicken coated in a somewhat spicy, special-recipe batter, and then fried in peanut oil to a state of crispy, brown perfection. Once you visit, you'll understand why many visitors skip the side items to save room for more bird. But, if you're intent on sides, try the not-too-mushy potato salad or the Cajun fried rice. For dessert, there's chess pie, with a rich filling that resembles a room-temperature custard—but with a tad more sugar and butter. In February 2007, Gus opened a second shop in Collierville, east of the city (215 Center St.; 901-853-6005).

The Irondale Cafe began in 1928 as a hot dog stand. Bess Fortenberry purchased the business around 1932 from Maggie Prentice, who had added hamburgers, barbecue, and a variety of sandwiches to the menu. It was shortly after that the stand became known as the Irondale Café.
