Empire Eats, the local restaurant group that owns The Raleigh Times Bar, Gravy, Sitti and The Pit, is buying the former Hideaway BBQ location on Capital Boulevard.

Hideaway BBQ, which was likely better known as a roots music venue than as a restaurant, closed in 2008. and has been empty ever since.

Greg Hatem, head of Empire Eats, says he building is ideal to use a catering kitchen since it is close to the highway and close to downtown. Empire Eats had been using the former Duck & Dumpling restaurant on Moore Square as a catering kitchen but Hatem has found new tenants for that space. No word yet on who that will be.

The building has not been empty since Hideaway closed. There was a Chinese buffet there for a while.

Thanks. I forgot about that

Everyone did.  That's why the building's been empty.
