Tookies Grill in a gas station!
| Posted by: Teran in Sandwiches and More, American Grille, Uncategorized |
The other day myself and my co-workers Courtney and Doug (you can see Doug in the reflections
) went out for lunch. I’ve been hearing about Tookies, which has a restaurant downtown but they also have locations around Raleigh, one of them being in the gas station down the street from our station! We hopped in the car and drove on down to find the parking lot packed. Luckily we were able to get a spot, but when we got inside we saw why the parking lot was full, there was a line of people getting their lunch! Tookies has sandwiches, burgers, and more. I got a turkey sandwich and Court and I split Banana Pudding. My Turkey sandwich wasn’t really anything to brag about but the Banana Pudding was really good. Apparently, their chicken salad sandwiches is what everyone goes there for, I heard it was written about in Southern Living. I don’t like Mayo so I didn’t try their Chicken Salad, but Court said it was good! There isn’t much seating inside, but you can see Court and I sitting at the bar and Doug taking the picture from the parking lot.
Would you say that Tookies has the best Chicken Salad in town? If not, where?

Tookies is the best chicken salad in the Triangle…finally you all went to my favorite place. You have to get it on wheat toast! You can also buy it in a container to go. Their BLT’s are also good.
The next best place for chicken salad (my favorite lunch but I am VERY picky) is the Pharmacy!!!
