People come on now.. The Times is not known for the burgers and saying ""used to be awesome before it got known"" is well just showing your inner hipster. The Times is a classic Raleigh spot. It's right in the heart of the true downtown scene and right where you want to be. No I don not work there nor have I ever. I have been going to The Times since it opened. Yeah the nachos are great and they were better when they got the meat from The Pit (Pitmaster Ed Mitchell). But still that's not what this place is known for. I think that in my humble opinion it's the people. No not the people that work there. While they are pretty cool it's you and I that make The Times so great. There are no strangers at The Times. I have had drinks with everyone from the Governor to a homeless guy named Styles there. It's family. So take my advice.. don't come in with expectations of great food or unreal beer selections. Come in rather for the spirit of The Times. Once upon a time the Times brought neighbors together by spreading the news all across Raleigh.. let that continue and enjoy!
