Here’s our guide to Raleigh area restaurants offering takeout for the month of May.

As the new normal stretches on for North Carolina, restaurants are beginning to see takeout and to-go orders as more of a business model than a stop-gap.

North Carolina dining rooms and bars have been closed for two months now, and dozens of businesses have evolved, innovated and pivoted to survive. Some have sold groceries, some pre-mixed spirit-less cocktails, some meal kits for the week. But takeout remains the most common way to support your local restaurants.

A number of restaurants have started to roll out a to-go operation and others are resuming service after a break.

Here is our list of restaurants offering takeout in the month of May,
