Celebrate Graduation Weekend at PR!
North Carolina State University’s Class of 2025 will be graduating on Saturday, May 3, 2025—a huge congrats to all the grads! We’re proud to be a go-to spot for generations of NC State students, alumni, and local fans—whether it’s game day, brunch, birthdays, or just a good time with friends. Come May, we’d also love to host you and your friends and family for one of the biggest accomplishments of your career.
Graduation presents a jam-packed dining weekend in Raleigh. We are offering two seatings for reservations on Saturday, May 3, 2025, to best serve guests who appreciate having a plan while also accommodating expected walk-in guests.
With our vast menu—including options for kiddos!—we have almost everything you, your friends, and your family might have a taste for during graduation weekend. Some of our most popular items include Mimi’s Sausage Dip, chili, NC pit-cooked BBQ, burgers, and any of our dessert features (you can’t go wrong with the housemade vanilla ice cream!).
We can also accommodate parties of more than eight guests, and we’ll work with you to customize a special menu with curated food and drinks—even entertainment if that’s something you’re looking for as well. Inquire here about hosting a large party.
And if you really want to pull out all the stops, you can experience a truly unique and intimate dining experience via our Chef’s Table. Led by Chef Jesus Romero, this culinary journey allows you and your guests to enjoy a custom-designed menu tailored to your tastes—whether it’s a French tasting, Spanish tapas, or family-style Italian supper—with the option to add wine, beer, or cocktail pairings to complement each course. Tell us about your dream post-grad dinner party here!
