A burger worth making plans for, a patio overlooking the Raleigh skyline, and a team that cares about the ingredients on your plate. There’s plenty to love about Wye Hill, and this November, we’re sharing a closer look at one of our Raleigh partners.
Located on Boylan Bridge, Wye Hill brings together Modern American food, creative drinks, and a setting that has long been part of Raleigh’s story. Their team continues to build on that history, creating a welcoming place where people can settle in, share a meal, and enjoy the city around them.
For us, it’s especially rewarding to see how they bring Wilders Wagyu beef and Berkshire pork to the table. From house-made sausage to a seasonal burger with a tropical twist, each preparation shows the thought they put into their menu.
A Wagyu Burger That Lets the Beef Shine
Wye Hill’s Wagyu Burger starts with eight ounces of Wilders beef, cooked to your preferred temperature. Their team encourages medium-rare to highlight the beef’s rich flavor and tender texture.
Then comes the house-made American cheese. A blend of cheddar, smoked Gouda, blue cheese, and black truffle brings a little smoke, savory depth, and just enough funk to complement the Wagyu. It’s a thoughtful take on a familiar favorite, with our beef at the center.
A Seasonal Twist: The Maui Burger
For their Sippin’ Santa food special, Wye Hill takes Wilders Berkshire pork in a different direction.
The Maui Burger features two smashed pork patties seasoned with blackening spices and topped with pepper jack, pineapple slaw, onion rings, and yum yum sauce. Berkshire pork’s fat content helps the patties develop a flavorful crust while staying juicy inside. Paired with sweet pineapple, a little heat, and plenty of crunch, it’s a burger with a personality all its own.
House-Made Chorizo for Shrimp & Grits
Wye Hill also uses our ground Berkshire pork to make fresh Spanish-style chorizo for their shrimp and grits.
Starting with our coarse-ground pork, the kitchen builds flavor with Spanish paprika, garlic, and sherry. The finished sausage has a texture closer to fresh Italian sausage, adding richness and smoky depth to the dish.
We love seeing our pork become part of a recipe that reflects the kitchen’s own approach and creativity.
A Better Start to Breakfast
The same care carries over to the Wye Hill Breakfast Sandwich, featuring breakfast sausage made in-house with Wilders Berkshire pork.
Their approach is simple: start with pork they trust and let its flavor come through. For the Wye Hill team, knowing the people who raise their ingredients matters. That connection makes this partnership especially meaningful to us.
Local Ingredients, Thoughtfully Prepared
At Wilders, we put care into raising our animals right here in Eastern NC. Seeing that work carried forward by restaurant partners like Wye Hill is something we’re proud of.
Whether you’re stopping in for a Wagyu Burger, making breakfast plans, or trying their seasonal Sippin’ Santa special, Wye Hill offers plenty of reasons to pull up a chair.
