Morrisville restaurant and bar reviews on NC Triangle Dining
As a fan of Thai food, the Triangle has certainly had its ups and downs with the cuisine. There were times when we had quite a few good Thai restaurants and other times when we didn’t have many worthwhile options. Given the uniqueness of the cuisine and its melange of sweet, sour, spicy, and savory …
Pizza comes in many forms and styles: NY thin-crust, Chicago deep-dish, Detroit-style pizza, thick Sicilian and more. But when it comes to REAL pizza in my mind, you have to go back to the motherland, Neapolitan pizza from Italy. Now there are strict rules for true Neapolitan pizza: 00 flour, San Marzano tomatoes, and mozzarella …
When it comes to barbeque in the Triangle, you’ve got your share of good options! Oldies but goodies like the Pit, Clyde Cooper’s, Backyard BBQ Pit and Q Shack. But one spot that I had forgotten over time was Smokey’s BBQ Shack over in Morrisville, not far from the airport. I remember driving by it …
I don’t know about you but when I travel, I often take advantage of being on the road by stuffing myself full of high-calorie food. Let’s face it, when you’re flying from airport to airport, it’s hard to find meals that go beyond the local Applebee’s-TGIF-Ruby Tuesday trifecta.

As the Triangle food scene continues to diversify, it’s always cool to see little ethnic eateries pop up on the foodie landscape. One that had hit my foodie radar screen was Yin Dee out in Morrisville! Yin Dee touts itself as Thai and Lao street food which really caught my attention. While there are plenty …
If you’re a fan of boba (or bubble) tea, there aren’t a ton of options in the Triangle. You might try Grand Asia Market or mom and pop Vietnamese restaurants but there are very few places that specialize in boba tea. So I was pretty surprised to find a Quickly pop on my radar screen …
When it comes to authentic Chinese food in the Triangle, your choices are few and far between. And when it comes to Cantonese eats and dim sum, it gets even harder! If you’re a fan of these Chinese small plates for brunch, you know that it’s a special treat. Steamed and fried goodies served lickety …
In my world of Mexican food, I’m a huge fan of hole in the wall type taquerias or the fancier, more upscale spots. So what to do with a spot like Viva DF Tequila and Tacos? Located in quiet Morrisville, Viva DF sits in a niche between those two categories and does more of a …
