Marquee Makeover - H-Street Kitchen Opens August 2 at old Varsity Theater Location
Hillsborough Street Views: The restaurant and entertainment trade across from the  North Carolina State campus has certainly seen its share of "Hillsborough Street Blues". However, it is resilient and one closing is another's opportunity. Exit the Varsity Theater (opened in 1941, closed in the '80's) and enter H-Street Kitchen; a 200-seat casual, full-service restaurant. The new restaurant includes a bar, open kitchen and seating on the first floor, as well as on an 800-square-foot mezzanine and patios above the entrance. It will also offer valet parking to customers after 5 p.m.
From Hillsborough Street to Highway 64: Owned by longtime Raleigh restaurant  executive and N.C. State graduate, Gary Bryant, the H-Street Kitchen comfort menu will represent the multicultural corners of North Carolina as well as some menu items that pay homage to iconic NC and Hillsborough Street restaurants. For example, the "Highway 64" burger with Velveeta cheese pays tribute to the burgers served at Johnson's Drive In in Siler City. There is also "Two Brothers Meat Sauce," a nod to the longtime pizza place on Hillsborough Street, served over linguine. Prices will range from about $9 for burgers to about $12-$16 for entrees. There are also appetizers,  sandwiches, salads and snacks, including chips, and fried Brussels sprouts.
H-Street Kitchen - Opening August 2: Location: 2420 Hillsborough St., Raleigh; Hours: open 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-midnight Friday-Saturday; Contact: 919-725-1983; Website,

The Beltline Buzz items are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on
The Beltline Buzz.. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of
The Beltline Buzz. Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way. So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.
That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" e-mails on behalf of sponsors. You'll recognize them from the subject line: "The Beltline Buzz Dedicated E-mail." Yes, these are paid for. And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money.
We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz. We look forward to delivering it.
