When Nobody Can Agree on What to Eat
Picking a restaurant gets tricky when one person wants a burger, someone else wants Italian, and another has their mind set on fried rice. Aggie's Grill Station in Raleigh has apparently decided there's no reason to choose.
The menu crosses Asian, Italian, and American cuisines, with everything from hibachi chicken fried rice and sizzling ribeye steak to burgers, wings, subs, and Italian favorites. It's an unusually wide range for one restaurant, which could come in handy when you're ordering for a group with very different ideas about dinner.
Aggie's also offers online ordering and takeout, making that variety useful for nights when you'd rather bring dinner home.
There aren't many menus where hibachi, burgers, wings, and Italian food comfortably share the same space. When the answer to "What are you in the mood for?" is different for everyone at the table, Aggie's gives you quite a few ways to settle the debate.
