First stop on our list is Hilaire’s all-time favorite – Poole’s Diner. Oh my gosh, AMAZING! If your looking for an intimate night with someone special grab a seat at the double horsehoe bar or pop some bubbly with some girlfriends to celebrate being you! This is the perfect place.
“I love Poole’s Diner not only for the mouth-watering deliciously good food but for the atmosphere. You even order off the chalkboard menus that are hanging on the wall. There is definitely an old-time flare to the place, which is just great,” says Hilaire.
(Before)
Originally, in 1945 the restaurant opened up as a pie shop, then luncheonette in the 1950’s, and now a diner today. It was important for Chef Ashley Christensen to keep the framework of the building just like it was back in 1945 which is why I personally feel people love the atmosphere so much at Poole’s Diner.
Chef Christensen, has been featured in Bon Appetit, Southern Living, The New York Times & Gourmet Magazine and has been named “Best Local Chef” by Independent Weekly for four years running.

Hilaire recommends, their side dish of Macaroni & Cheese – it beats any grandma’s version – you’ve got to trust me on this one! While the menu changes daily there is nothing at Poole’s Diner that isn’t good. Let us know why Poole’s Diner is your fave too. We love to hear great dining experiences!
