I went there for lunch with my coworker! Food was fantastic and service was great!!!! We also received a free cookie! I ordered the French toast with bacon , grits, and country ham. I definitely will be back to eat again! read more

My dad and I came to breakfast at Barry's last week. We were seated promptly and drink orders were taken quickly. As we looked over the menu we were dissapointed that they do not offer a waffle/egg/bacon combo. They do have a combo but its too many things and its 12.50. I guess I am used to other places having one for more around the $8-9 range. Also, they do not offer a waffle on the kids menu ( my 4 yr old really wanted a waffle) so I had to order an adult one. My dad had to stand up to flag down server to get a refill on his coffee. Also, while I appreciate the discount to firefighters, I find it sad that they do not have a senior or veteran discount. My dad would have appreciated that, and he derserves it. So for 3 of us ( one being a child) our bill with tip was $40. Not terrible but not great for the amount of food we got since we had to pay extra for "sides" of bacon and eggs. read more

Love Barry's...the service is great, the food is cooked quickly && tastes amazing. The best quick stop for breakfast or lunch! read more

Barry's Cafe - Great breakfast & lunch! - Burgers Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Terrible- extremely overpriced. $32 for two pieces of French toast and a BLT on white bread. Don't waste your money here. We try to support the independent businesses but you'd pay the same price at La Farm and get a superior product. I cannot believe this place is still in business. read more

Great breakfast place! Country fried steak with sausage gravy was delicious. It came with 2 eggs, which were cooked perfectly, a side of grits and an English muffin. It was enough food to share, but so good I didn't want to. The spinach omelet was also very good. We requested it be made with two egg whites and one egg. This made it lighter than a regular three egg omelet. The toppings are served on the outside of the omelet instead of the inside, which made the spinach nice and wilted. Highly recommend. We sat at the bar and got to watch all of the food being prepared. We can attest to the fact that the food is fresh and the food prep area is clean. The only downside is that the place is kinda small which means you leave smelling like a grill. read more

I had a craving for a biscuit, and I enjoyed my breakfast here. The sausage and egg biscuit arrived instantly. The service was also ebullient, so I give this place a thumbs up! read more

Excellent place for some creative, good home style cooking. Great vibe to the place and well priced. If I'm ever in the area I will stop in again. The jalapeño bacon was awesome! read more

Completely surprings hole in the wall. My husband took us here one morning for breakfast and it was so delicious!! Everything was clearly homemade and made my soul happy. I highly recommend this place read more

Fantastic service, food, ambiance!!! My son loved all the fire hats on the wall. Our server was so sweet & friendly. My husband said the jalapeño bacon strips were to die for!! We can't wait to come back on our Sunday morning ritual. read more

This was just ok. I probably wouldn't come here again. The restaurant has no social distancing, it was super packed. Even if Covid was not a thing this place was way too cramed. The service was good and people are nice. The food was kinda pricey for what it is and how it tastes. The sausages were rubbery and tasted like oil. The pancakes were pretty good as well as the grits and eggs I got. I could not finish all of it. My bill was $22 the food was worth maybe half of this price. read more

My husband and I were on a hunt for a good classic American breakfast and this place delivered! He got the platter and was not disappointed, said eggs, bacon, and home fries were great. We both had a pancake and like other reviews said it was delicious. I got mine as a side and it was a little pricey for the single pancake, but the quality and the story behind Barry's made it worth it. We have volunteer firefighters in our family and were intrigued by the decor. We looked up the story of Barry's and we're inspired. On top of all that the service was great, quick and my server kept my much needed coffee full the entire time. With complimentary cookies to boot! I'll definitely come back. read more

Great service, great food. Chipotle wrap A+ Cookies on the house every day except Sunday. read more

They have updated their menu awhile back. They have extended more into lunch and dinner. I still love the classic eggs and hash browns but everything I have had from the newer items have been good. They will be great soon as they refine them a bit more. The best parts are the firemen inspired foods. They definitely fill you up! The price is good with an associated value. The service has always been good. If you come around enough you might even get your picture on the wall. Localgem in the most classic way. read more

Barry's is the best place for breakfast! Not a big menu, but quality ingredients cooked right! This is the only place I have been to in years that consistently cooks eggs properly! Real butter on the table too! Wait staff are always great! Friendly, efficient, and they seem to really enjoy their job! Kid friendly, family restaurant. Open limited hours now, so check times before you head over. Breakfast and lunch menus. read more

First time here I heard the commercials on the radio. I wish I'd found this place earlier but we did find it today!! Friendly staff Lots of happy customers Great food We'll be back read more

Barry's had a very cold beginning. In 1994 the area was hit by a huge ice storm. The owner provided hot food and coffee to the local firefighters during the emergency. From that beginning Barry's has grown into a local favorite. The walls are decorated with fire fighting equipment, helmets and patches from all over the state. If you are a firefighter you get special treatment. And the food is incredible. read more

The food is ok and the staff is always very friendly but WOW are they way over priced. I meet a friend here from work on occasion and it is the only reason I go back. I had a burger for lunch and it comes with potato chips. You can upgrade to french fries, A La Carte?? This already is strange. The burger with potato Chips was $12. I am not sure how much more fries were, I was afraid to ask. For that price they should be included. Keep in mind this a diner style place. My total check came to over $16 with a soda. Like I said the food is not bad and the staff are very good. The prices are just way out of touch with the true value of the meals. I am always surprised to see such high reviews of this place. read more

Looking for a new breakfast diner, I was introduced to Barry's Cafe and glad I was! The atmosphere is what you would expect of a diner, active with conversation, counter service or table service with red checkered table clothes. Food was good, but a little pricey. Service on a Sunday after church was very good and certainly a local find. Steady business without being overly crowded, I will be back. read more

I got the grilled chicken pecan and cranberry salad with goat cheese. The hot chicken melted the goat cheese then the sweetness of the cranberries. Oh. My. Goodness! So good!! The chicken could have used a little more seasoning, but def one of the best salads I've ever had. The atmosphere was great, a diner with a firefighter theme. Our waitress was really friendly. I can't wait to go back:) read more

Came here with co-workers to support the owner whose philosophy to emergency workers and to be an all round good person to society if you read the history of the establishment. Not fancy, but full of memorabilia. Really big lunch crowd , and we were lucky to sneak in early at 11:30 with 8 in our party. Food good, not great..love the bonus cookie. I tried the club sandwich that was fresh & delicious with my choice of coleslaw side. Not a fireman, but it was cool to see all the support of patches from NC and across the country supporting the place. Good friendly prompt service. Would not necessarily go out of my way for, but more for the cause.. Carry on Barry! read more

Excellent for breakfast! We were worried when we saw a big line to be seated but they got us seated quickly and the food was great. My wife got the biscuits and gravy while I got the fireman's special and it was enough food for us and our 2 year old. The biscuits and gravy were some of the best we've had, the pancake was huge, and the Jalapeño bacon was with the $1 extra! read more

I'm really surprised this place doesn't have "Gluten-Free" listed as one of their Categories on Yelp, as they have an entire gluten-free menu. I go here for the simple things that you rarely can find a gf version of, like gluten-free pancakes or a gluten-free grilled cheese. read more

This used to be one of our favorite spots but I would suggest they clean up their quality control if they're going to offer delivery. We paid extra for pecans on the French toast, it came plain. The food was cold, and the driver had to wait 15-20 mins for it. The toast did not come. No syrup for the pancakes or French toast, glad we had some in the fridge. Tater tots instead of hash browns. The French toast had the batter all congealed in one side of the bread so it was dry and eggy. Just disappointed. $50 all said and done with the delivery fees and I should have just gone to a drive thru. read more

What a fun atmosphere! We stumbled upon this cafe by chance but I'm so glad we did. Extremely family friendly with a kid's menu too! I had the Ruben sandwich with a side of their famous bacon. The food was great and it really had a cool vibe. Firefighter pics/equipment/decor everywhere. Glad we stopped in!! read more

Had a negative experience at this restaurant. I was seated quickly which was nice. Ordered an eggs Benedict that came with sausage and the first few bites were okay. The hollandaise sauce tasted like it came from a sauce packet vs. homemade. The next few bites, I bite into several large pieces of egg shells. Not a small little crunch, but basically half of the egg shell was left baked into my egg. After that, I then noticed two black hairs on my plate. I asked for them to just take the item off my receipt because of what happened. They obliged, but still decided to charge me for part of the cost of the meal! They wouldn't take the full price off, still charged me $3.20 for sausage that came with the meal, even though hair was on the plate. This was not ordered as an extra side, came with the Benedict and they charged me as if it were a separate side. Unfortunately, a bit tasteless in my opinion. Also, it costs an extra $2 if you want an extra plate for sharing. Just the price for a plate. read more

Arguably the best breakfast place in the Raleigh/Cary area. Their omelettes are off the hook. Highly recommended.

We LOVE Barry's. We go here nearly every other weekend and always bring guests when they're visiting. The staff is so accommodating and makes you feel right at home. The food is classic comfort food, and we always appreciate how you can order many of their meals in different sizes. My father is a fireman and Barry's always brings me back to my roots. We love their large collection of firefighter memorabilia and Fire/Police/EMS service men and women get 10% off their bill. I will forever be a fan of Barry's!! read more

IT was our last visit. We no6 eat after what we saw. At the table near buy. The white older waitress refused to come to another table. She would yell and scream . At the female at the table. Repeat her self. Yell and interrupt her while she tried to speak. She seemed to only be nice. And wait on volunteer. Male customer tables. We decided not to eat there. The service was slow. Not busy. The female what we saw. Left and not eat there. The waitress tried to start a fight with her. And there was nobody at the hostess stand. We had to seat ourselves. Though there was a sign. to wait to get a seat. The waitress would interrupt her. Seeing that rudeness. Was not the place where we want to spend money. read more

Nothing to write home about, breakfast was nothing special. Lack lustre. Try Briggs or Dame's Chicken & Waffle or La Farm instead. There's much better options in the Triangle. Don't waste your $$ or calories. read more

Very overpriced breakfast food especially for a restaraunt attached to food lion. Came here with my mom and Dad and had a very small breakfast which cost us over 40 dollars. read more

Service is friendly-ish. It took about 20 minutes to get our breakfast which is a little long for breakfast. The food is not fresh. It is all pre-made from a bag or can. Over priced when it comes to food quality. We wouldn't come back. read more

This is a 2 at best. The breakfast took forever to come out and the omelet I ordered didn't even have melted cheese in the middle. The biscuits had absolutely no flavor. The waitress had no personality and it seemed like we were more of a bother than a paying customer. She took my full plate away and didn't even ask if we wanted a box to take it home. The most disappointing part of the meal was the fact that the bill came to $30 for 2 people and we didn't even order combos or specials. Been to much better around the Raleigh area for much cheaper. read more

Great burger! The 6 of us had everything from eggs, pancakes, to burgers. Everything was very good. Service was exceptional. They were attentive, nice, and great hosts. Location was unique - dedicated to fire fighters. read more

Nostalgic little diner. Reminds me of going to the coffee shop with my grandfather as a kid. Had the biscuits and gravy which was good. Service is decent. This is not gourmet just a good old fashion breakfast diner. Went at 1pm in a Tuesday and it's mostly a senior crowd. read more

Awesome and yummy food. Lots of gluten free options in the menu. Everyone is very friendly there n knowledgeable about the food allergies.

Stopped by after shopping around the area malls - really good breakfast spot and the staff is super friendly. Had an omelet with hash browns and coffee and was pretty good. Not sure if I would come back as I am a bit far from the area but if I lived closer, but I would recommend it. read more

Barry's Cafe is the cutest local eatery. It is adorned throughout the restaurant with fire departments from all over. Very cool place to go and enjoy. The food is always amazing and really has a "family feel" read more

We showed up with 6 people on a Saturday morning for breakfast (some from out of town for a quick visit) and were seated pretty quick, the staff was bustling to clean tables and get people seated as quickly as possible but we did not feel rushed at all to finish our breakfast and leave. The service was great and the food was delicious; we were all so full and none of us are normally breakfast people. The pancakes are the full size of the plate. We all left very happy that we chose this place over a chain! read more

Stopped in this morning based on reviews of Gluten Free pancakes (tough to find in Raleigh area). Pancakes were very good and rest of the platter was good too. When I got the check, I was a little surprised to see that I was charged extra for the GF pancake and the country ham as I didn't see any mention of the upcharge on the menu. There were other mentions of added charge for GF toast or bread, but nothing about the pancakes or country ham. Regardless food was worth a second trip if I'm ever in the area. read more

This small, down home cafe is the best. After 2 or 3 visits there the entire wait staff know you by name and probably have your beverage preference delivered almost before you can sit down. Breakfast all day and ham burgers to die for. Also a treat for all the first responders who drop in. Fire Department gear, patches and equipment are everywhere. The kids love it too as most are fascinated by the fire memorabilia. Open for breakfast and lunch only. read more
