    Fried catfish breakfast
    Riyona A.

    First timer! We have heard a lot about this spot and seems pretty popular in the area. I know they have multiple locations so we tried the one in garner. There was a line, but it moved pretty quickly. Maybe a 5-10 minute wait. We both ordered the fried catfish breakfast, his with grits and mine with home style fries aka hash-browns( that's what I'm use to calling them back home). My bf ordered a biscuit and I did the hot cake. Warming the hot cake is HUGE. Like extremely massive. One is perfect for the table. It has a sweet flavor to it, kind of like cornbread. I really enjoyed it. I will say that the catfish tasted pretty salty. And I think it was more the batter than it was the actual fish, because the fish seemed as if it was seasoned perfectly. We are normally ok with saltier food, so it wasn't a problem for us, but of note to others if that's the norm.

    Good place to stop in for some southern cooking. I have been here for both breakfast and dinner. For breakfast, I ordered a pancake, an egg, and bacon. Pancake was thick and fluffy, and they used a pound cake batter for the pancakes. It's definitely one of my favorite pancakes in the area. Their dinner menu rotates, so something they'll have one thing on the menu, then other times they don't. I like that meals come with a dessert and I'll always choose banana pudding. Service is usually quick and attentive. Our waitress checked in often enough not to be overwhelming but also just right to make sure we had what we needed. This is a spot I stop in every once in a while when I just need a plate of classic southern food.

    Great spot. The pancake was the size of the plate and super fluffy. Staff was friendly and the place was super clean.

    The food was good, but I honestly, the service was even better. Our waitress, Brittany, was patient (as it was our first time visiting), kind and welcoming. Not just her, but also other staff that we came in contact with. We will be back.

    BIG EDs is awesome!! The amount of food we got was insane. I had already eaten lots off this plate before the picture was taken. The biscuits were so warm and fresh. The interior is so fun with deer heads on the wall. The host has such a good memory and didn't even have take names. Will be back next time i'm in Raleigh!

    Big Ed's has a good dining area, good and friendly service and Great food. We love the chicken pastry and the burgers best. A great place to stop in when in Garner. This is a southern style food restaurant everyone should enjoy.

    I've eaten at Big Ed's Garner on so many occasions and it hasn't disappointed me yet. Our women's group visited on a Wednesday for brunch. I called ahead to say we had 14 and they had us covered. Our server was pleasant and knowledgeable as she shared tips about the food items. We quickly got our beverages and placed our orders. Our meals came out quickly. Plated nicely and pleasing to the eye. I had tuna salad, collards and pickled beets. I got two large scoops of tuna...enough for 3-4 people. I ate off that plate 3 times. There was no sweet pickle relish in the tuna salad but it had a good flavor. The collards were fresh, not greasy and seasoned with something a little salty. They gave me two little packs of crackers with all of that tuna. Okay come on now...at least 4 packs y'all. Nice experience at Big Ed's. I heard several ladies say their meals were delicious also.

    The most unusual yet tasty biscuits & gravy!

    Everything tasted good but, truthfully, the coleslaw did not taste fresh as it should!

    Food is always fresh and hot; service is always great. The fried catfish is the best.

    Walked in and we were greeted promptly. I ordered the steak grinder, pretty tasty. I liked the fact…read morethe guy at the counter was forthcoming about the tomatoes not being the best quality at the moment. To be honest, they tasted fine, just slightly under riped. It was clean, and nice to see them promptly cleaning the tables after customer's leave.

    I ordered a Scillian pizza through Uber eats (pickup) with ham, onion, peperoni, and cheese. The…read moretime noted for pickup was 9-15 minutes after placing the order. I arrived at Rudino's in Southern Pines at approximately 10 min after ordering and waited almost another 30 minutes to receive my order. When the hostess brought the pizza, she said they messed up when cutting or slicing the pizza and threw another slice in a to-go box as though that would suffice in making it better. I thought this was absolutely absurd - the slice was nothing more than an old piece of another pie that was sitting under a warmer for probably hours and since it was close to closing threw it my way - it was disgusting. It appeared (see photo) they either dropped the pizza or took a bite out of it. When I ordered the Sicilian pizza, I thought it was going to be the traditional thick, deep crust, two inch plus pizza. I was perplexed and very disappointed to see it was nothing more than a traditional round pie with a taste that was overpowering with salt, the cheese was stale, there was no sauce, and very little meat. I feel it was deceptive to advertise and serve a Sicilian pizza masked as a round traditional pie that I can have ordered from Dominoes much cheaper. I was disappointed when walking in and having to wait as long as I did while observing the staff spend more time on their cell phones and gossiping with one another. I would think the least they should do is pull the Sicilian pizza from the menu until such time you can actually make one like Vera Pizza & Grill, Café Vesuvio in Sanford, SoPies in Southern Pines, Brooklynn Pizza, etc. I sent an email and tried calling Rudino's to discuss but they refuse to reply back.
