Raleigh's Ltd. restaurant, just outside of Chapel Hill on U.S. 15-501, boasts a singing staff to
appease a hearty appetite for music
By KARA DONALDSON
Staff Writer
Raleigh's Ltd. does not take its
name from the capital or Sir
Walter. And it didni originate in
Chapel Hill. The restaurant used
to be Raleigh's of Galena, 111., and
is named after Raleigh Powell Jr.,
tenor-chef and co-owner.
Powell and Charles Grisham
opened Raleigh's restaurant in the
northwest corner of Illinois about
10 years ago. Each winter as the
blizzards brought driving winds,
sub-zero temperatures and snow,
the two thought of moving south.
They finally moved last summer
and opened their Chapel Hill
location Aug. 24, 1984.
Grisham and Powell opened" a
restaurant with a familiar name but
with a format unique to the area.
"Raleigh's," Grisham said, "is a
home-grown establishment that is
entertainment-oriented." The
owners hire staff for their entertain
ment as well as their food-serving
abilities.
Powell pleases customers with
his talents as a chef and as a singer.
When he isn't performing, the
servers and hostess accompany the
pianist.
The music ranges from classic
Broadway hits to classical music
selections. An evening might
include many selections from one
musical, such as The Sound of
Music. Laura, the hostess, sings the
title song.- :
This is the type of place where
the reputation is built by word of
mouth or, in this case, voice of
song.
Raleigh's customers are a mix
ture of families, students and
businessmen. They come for the
blend of American-continental"
food and American and continen
, tal song. The seating area looks like
a home dining room. The lounge
is called the library.
Kaieigns is on u.s. noui, zy2
miles from the intersection of
Franklin and Columbia streets. It's
open Tuesday through Sunday
from 6 p.m. to about 9 p.m.,
depending on the customers and
entertainment. Entrees cost
between $10 and $14 and come
with salad and Raleigh's stone
ground wheat bread.;
Step in, and let Raleigh's sing
for your supper.
