The Food At This North Carolina Shopping Center Restaurant Is Beyond Expectations

Don't you love discovering a favorite new restaurant you want to go back to again and again... especially when it's a little off the beaten path? Sometimes, "off the beaten path" is actually on a well-traveled road - but in an unexpected spot, like a vintage shopping center. Case in point: the delightful weekender restaurant below that's located just a few miles up the road from the North Carolina Zoo...

It's called Something Different, and it's open Thursday through Sunday for lunch and dinner.

With both American and internationally influenced items on the menu, there's a wide variety of flavorful dishes from which to choose. While many of the items have a Greek flair, the menu is diverse and the food is delish.

Whether you order a signature dish crafted personally by the Chef, or enjoy one of the more traditional items on the menu, you're sure to love the beautiful flair of both the entree and its presentation.

From appetizers...

... to flame-grilled, mouthwatering steaks, Something Different aims to please even the pickiest of palates.

Enjoy it all in the restaurant's cozy atmosphere, a delightful surprise for such an "off the beaten path" eatery found in an older shopping center.

Dessert is a can't miss — so be sure to save room! The signature dessert menu changes often — which is even more reason to make a return visit!
