Knightdale

There's more than one reason to head to Knightdale, but not a better tasting one than Knightdale Seafood & Barbeque featuring Larry's Oyster Bar. Where else can you dine on buffalo, frog legs, alligator, elk, ostrich and kangaroo? And by the way, how do you like your rattlesnake? The town is also home to the Knightdale Environmental Park, which has been certified as a Backyard Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation, as well as the Shoppes at Midway Plantation, a shopping destination that offers more than 425,000 square feet of retail space with several major chains.
