I'm here to second (third?) Bull McCabe's and Toast.

Also delicious is Watt's Grocery.

Now what about Food Trucks? Which are your favorites?

I like the Big Red Bus (twitter @indianfoodtruck) for Indian and Only Burger for, well, burgers.

Busy Bee is on Wilmington St. in downtown Raleigh. Eclectic beer selection, and food selection for that matter. Usually pretty good, though my only beef is that it's sometimes pricey. Raleigh Times has as good a selection, more consistent food, and better prices.

First (for right now): Revoultion in Durham

Honorable Mentions: Six Plates, Four Square, Magnolia Grill, Toast, City Beverage, Watts Grocery, Sushi Yoshi and Sushi Love.
Burgers: Only Burger..they always manage to show up with the burger truck at crucial times like when I'm stumbling out of Allevia's in Durham or from the beer festival. They also have a store front.

Natty Greenes has great food and good beer. I think they're what you'd call a "Gastropub". It's still pub style food for the most part (Sandwiches, Fish & Chips, ect.) but of a much higher quality. Top Notch. Plus they brew a lot of their beer right on premise, which is cool on it's own.

+1 for Natty Green's. Great food, and they have a much better selection of their own beers on tap than most brewpubs.
