This is one of the best kept secrets in Raleigh. Eastern European food with a twist. All sausages, meats and salmon are made in-house and never disappoint.
New item on the menu is liverwurst pierogies, served with fennel marmalade and sage brown butter. The pierogi itself was fabulous, but the marmalade added a nice sweetness to complement the saltiness of the liverwurst.
The owner John also brought us out the J. Betski's chopped salad. Romaine, cherry tomatoes, red onion, hardboiled egg, smoked bacon, crater lake blue cheese, with raspberry honey mustard dressing. Ingredients all work well together and salad was not overdressed. Nice light option.
Today's special that all 3 of us chose was the reuben burger. Their house house ground sirloin burger w in-house cured pastrami, coleslaw sauerkraut, swiss cheese and thousand island dressing on a brioche bun. All of us also chose the side of fries w paprika mayo. The burger was so moist and the pastrami brings a nice savory element. The softness of the brioche keeps it together and doesn't overpower the sandwich. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever had.
It's a shame Seaboard Station hasn't taken off as a larger trade area in Raleigh, or more people would know about this gem. Take the few block walk east of Glenwood Ave and enjoy a fabulous meal with a tall Schneider Weisse.
