I always love a good burger but I don't know about $15. It is kind near my house though, so I might check out Tribeca when it opens. I am now having fond memories of the burgers at West Village near NCSU. I need to go eat one and see if they taste as good as I remember!
RED Robin has great burgers for a lot less and alcohol too for those who want adult drinks.
I keep seeing the "$15 burger" mentioned. They do have one burger priced at $15, the other dozen or so are lower, starting at $9 and they include fires. I really don't see that being out of line at all. Plus, this is North Carolina beef that is ground on site, which means you can actually get them medium or med rare if you want and that's worth something to me.

I agree. Most of their burgers are under $10. All of their beers and the majority of their food ingredients are local. To me - that is something worthwhile. To support local agriculture AND being able to sample the amazing local beers that we have in the Triangle? That's a win/win.
The atmosphere at the Tribeca in Cary is really nice, as well. Personally, I think it's a great place and another location would do very well.
for my part, I don't care what they call it or how it's packaged, to my palette, their food is pretty much, "meh whatever" - not worth the cost of dining out. We cook way better at home.
Twisted Fork was always my favorite restaurant in the area for birthdays and date night. However lately they had appeared to be slipping both in food and service quality. The last time we went was with the new 'salad bar' concept, and I personally I think they have botched the restaurant beyond repair. The food is still sub par and overpriced for what it is, and the service leaves much to be desired. I contacted the management, but they indicated that this is the new direction for the restaurant. So Twisted Fork has lost me a customer. I have a gift card to them from the holidays that I am hanging on to until Tribecca Tavern opens in the Michael Dean's location.
Huh, that's a shame you haven't enjoyed it as much recently. I only started going to Twisted Fork during the restaurant week last month, and have really enjoyed the last few trips there. Though I have no use for the salad bar, so maybe that helped? In any event, I don't know what it was like before.

Totally agreed, being able to get fresh-ground, local beef cooked to the degree you want it is what separates a good burger from a potentially great burger, IMO. And I'm willing to pay a little extra for that. I'm looking forward to trying Tribeca, see if their burgers justify the cost.
I love Tribecca Tavern and think that their burgers are definitely worth the price. Like the former posters stated, most of the burgers are $10 or less. The real selling point for me is that they buy their meat locally and it comes from pasture raised, grass fed cows. It's not the ground chuck crap that most other places serve. I'll pay a premium for that any day. I love supporting places that actually make an effort to support local businesses with ethical standards for animals. That always tastes better than the poor, overfed feedlot cow, in my opinion.
Twisted Fork hasn't been the same since they took the ostrich off the menu.
I don't understand the hate for Tribeca. Local beef, local indigents, local beer. Sounds like a win to me.
