Empire Eats plans to purchase Hideaway BBQ building

Empire Eats plans to purchase the building that used to house Hideaway BBQ – once a staple Roots music venue – on Capital Blvd.

Samantha Hatem, with Empire Eats, confirmed Tuesday that the company will purchase the venue, and plans to use the facility for the company’s catering business.

The opening date for the catering facility has not yet been set.

After Hideaway BBQ closed in 2008, the building sat empty until being purchased in 2010 and transformed into Olde Raleigh Chinese Buffet.

While the building saw a change in fare, the exterior remained very much a barbecue restaurant.

After Hideaway shuttered its doors, Marianne Taylor, the restaurant’s booking agent, moved to Berkeley Cafe on Martin Street, where she has helped establish the venue as the new go-to place for Americana music.

Empire Eats owns several restaurants in Downtown Raleigh, including Raleigh Times Bar and The Pit.
