Welcome everyone to Good Graces

We're a new market bar and eatery located in the

North Hills Innovation District

Good curses is always a phrase that I've had in

the back of my mind

I want to create community something really unique and different

within the North Hills area somewhere for people to gather

where it has a really positive upbeat vibe and that

name kind of embodies that where you're in someone's good

graces I think a lot of you they want to

be around you and that's where it came from

We're open every day

Throughout the day we have breakfast lunch and then light

bites cocktails wine and beer and we also have a

market section full of local goods as well as market

items that we make in-house like pimento cheese chicken salad

granola that type of thing

Building the market we really tried to keep it as

local as possible

So if you look at our shelves we have a

ton of Raleigh brands we have a ton of Greater

North Carolina and South Carolina brands as well

We tried to look for things that were unique that

you couldn't really find in the grocery store and to

be able to give them a platform and shelf space

to showcase their products has been really cool

The menu we tried to keep it seasonal really looking

at what was fresh in North Carolina at the time

We also want to keep it a bit on the

healthier side you know we want to kind of pay

homage to Southern roots but we also want it to

be really fresh and not heavy

In the mornings we have an egg sandwich which you

can add like bacon sausage or chicken sausage and it

has our house pimento cheese on it

So it's just it's a big and good sandwich

We do uh house-made jams on our granola and uh

yogurt baked goods also

We have cinnamon rolls every morning buttermilk biscuits cookies brownies

Our chicken salad sandwich has been the best seller actually

so far and we actually sell our chicken salad in

the market too

The pimento cheese is another thing that we'll always keep

in the market fridge that we know just people in

North Carolina love and we concentrated really

I'm making that recipe a great one

We have breakfast lunch and then we have light bites

at night from 4 to 8

We have a shrimp tartine on that

We have crab cakes a really beautiful charcuterie board

Putting a menu together is always fun because you get

to express yourself through food trying to keep everything seasonal

trying to reach out to a bunch of farms so

we can start implementing local ingredients onto our menus

This is something that I thought was missing in North

Hills where it felt elevated it felt really well designed

and special but it felt casual enough where I could

bring my two kids and feel really comfortable at the

same time

So we designed the space around that where we have

a great bar in the middle if you are coming

in with girlfriends for cocktails

We have a great outdoor patio if you're bringing your

kids and they

want to play around while you have uh a simple

salad or a sandwich for lunch

So we have a little something for everyone
