Guide Review - Pharaoh's American Grill Raleigh- Review of Pharaoh's American Grill Restaurant

While on the Triangle Food Tour, I visited Pharaoh's downtown Raleigh location and tried their tuna salad sandwich on rye bread. I was pleased to discover that their tuna salad was made with high quality ingredients and truly tasted homemade. I'm a big tuna salad fan, but am usually disappointed with the blended mush that most places stuff a tuna salad sandwich with. Not so at Pharaoh's.

I also enjoyed Pharaoh's fresh squeezed orangeade. It was a little watery/over diluted, but very refreshing, not too sweet, and definitely fresh as opposed to from concentrate.
