THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Raleigh's BBQ & Blues Restaurant Review:


Raleigh Lee's operation offers a few special items that are drawn, he says, from family favorites. The sweet tomato pie, available only in season, is a Southern-style quiche, a cheese-rich pie with Vidalia onions, basil and sweet red tomatoes on the bottom. The Brunswick stew is an unusual version, a light but well-flavored chicken stock with chunks of tomatoes, corn and chicken floating within. Different but tasty. The ribs are steam-cooked and finished over wood; they're okay, especially for the mostly northern fall-off-the-bone crowd. They come to the table without being sauced, the correct presentation. Good potato salad, slaw, and beans are among the side options. Cracklin' cornbread is adequate. This location serves beer and wine, and offers a Swamp Water Sangría, a wine punch with fruit. Other dinner items include a grilled rib-eye steak and a tri-tip steak from the sirloin (also available as a sandwich). Order a steak dinner Tuesday or Thursday, and get a complimentary bottle of wine. The regular dinner menu remains available during lunch. Raleigh's is a nice spot among Decatur's already rich music venue scene.
