We tried Raleigh's new Standard location. Here's what stood out
We met up for a meal at the new Standard location in North Hills Innovation District on Monday. Driving the news: The restaurant is looking to gain a foothold in Raleigh's lunch scene by opening at 11am every day of the week. What to try: We loved our salads ($13-15), especially with fried tofu ($5). Tater tots ($14) never disappoint, and one order is big enough to share. And don't overlook the N. Sea oysters ($3.50 each). N. Sea is pronounced N-C because they're sourced from a Topsail Island farm. 📍 Stop by: 560 St. Albans Drive, Raleigh. Follow the signs to park in the nearby NHID deck. Hours are 11am to 9pm, 10pm or 11pm, depending on the day .
