Willow's Bistro has incredible food. Skip the Chop House, highly overrated. Ryan's has been a landmark steak since 77, but it ain't cheap. If you want good seafood instead, King's Crab Shack downtown. Uses local NC seafood when they can, prices are great, and the food is fantastic. NC oysters are the freshest and best. Fourth St Filling Station is also a good balance of quality and price. One of our favorites. Damnit, you're making me hungry! What time are you coming through?
