Diced Downtown Raleigh

DICED is a fast casual spot on Fayetteville Street downtown, serving salads, wraps and grain bowls that you build yourself. The motto is cut greens, not corners, which is a fair summary of how the kitchen operates.

It is a good option when you want lunch that does not slow the afternoon down. The company calls its food convenient without the compromise, made by people who actually care, and the ingredient list is long enough that regulars can eat here often and never order quite the same thing twice.
