A big "welcome to Sunrise" greeting awaits you at the counter. The staff is well coordinated and works hard., A definite short order restaurant offering biscuits and platters with eggs. I had the big breakfast platter with my eggs sunnyside up, bacon, sausage, grits, and a biscuit. It was all very well prepared. I mix sweet and half sweet iced tea. I call it hybrid tea. The tea is very fresh and delicious. They also offer Coke products in their fountain and Dr. Pepper. Cheerwine would be a nice touch here. I will probably make the trip again on a nice sunny day like it is today. The food is delicious and worth the trip.

This is a decent four-star Southern bar near the Duke campus. We were driving through town, and we…read morestopped here before visiting the local botanical garden. There's plenty of paid street parking in the area. The interior is a bit dark inside, minimal ambient light from the outside, TVs around the bar. Lunch arrived quickly, I had the patty melt which was a bit over salted, but not too bad. Service from Makena was overall decent, nothing exceptionally bad or good. Pricing for lunch averaged just over $20 per person, including the "included gratuity." It's a fine Place to get standard bar food.

So I asked yelp to recommend a place for a birthday dinner. This was the first on the list. So…read moresince I couldn't get a reservation on my birthday to the place I originally wanted to go, we decided to come here. There is plenty of parking on the backside of the building, paid parking out front, and be careful not to park in the apartment spaces on the side...they sounded pretty serious about towing. I had made a reservation but it was probably unnecessary as it was pretty empty when we arrived (it was about 5pm on a Saturday.) The waitress brought a bottle of water to the table and took our drink order. And I know that this place is literally call it's a Southern thing but can I mention how much I dislike drinking out of mason jars? I ordered the chicken n biscuits, my husband got the country hamburger steak plate, my BiL got wings, and my SiL got the crabcakes. We also orders charred jalapeno & sweet corn hushpuppies and frickles as an appetizer. I was VERY excited about my food. Y'all...the only thing that impressed me were the Frickles. Everything else was distinctly underwhelming. I also ordered Blackberry Betta Have My Money which was not that great. My SiL ordered a espresso martini that they said didn't come from a mix but she said it tasted like it was. The bathrooms were very clean. The decor and the vibe were great. Cute even. I really enjoyed that part of it. After dropping off our food, we never saw our waitress again unless we flagged her down for drink refills. It was especially frustrating since there was automatic gratuity added. And since the place wasn't that busy, it felt like she didn't feel the need to earn her automatic tip. Overall I was disappointed in my birthday dinner. I won't be coming back here.

Very welcoming atmosphere. When you come in you're instructed to peruse the menu and order/pay at the register. Or you can seat yourself first, gather your utensils, and order from the menu more leisurely. I chose the latter option. Totally worth careful consideration of the menu IMO. I chose the Eye Opener Breakfast with extra side of grits, sausage and home fries. My family ordered the Salmon Smorrebord and the BLT&E on Crossant. Absolutely delectable. I'm definitely a fan and look forward to my next occasion to visit.

Everyone from the host stand to the wait staff and the management was polite and accommodating with plenty of recommendations and were sure to have several table touches and top off my water 5 times! I really enjoyed my Bull City Off Main Hard Cider, a local brew. It paired perfectly with an order of the Voodoo Deviled Eggs which had an incredible presentation! My wife also order the She-Crab soup which was also a delicious start to our meal. My main was the shrimp and grits. The shrimp was a cross between a fried and blackened cook and was perfectly set with plentiful amounts of bacon, cremini mushrooms and seasoning all atop a mound of cheddar grits. It was one of the best I've had in some time. So far, my favorite place to eat in Raleigh/Cary, NC

Upon walking in, I was taken in by the rustic decor and large flowing steps. We picked a table away from the door as it was super chilly! My colleagues and I checked out the menu, and my eyes immediately jumped to the vegetarian chili. Sweet potatoes are topped with lentils, onions, beans, and cinammon. I could not resist, and after the waitresses' recommendation, it was a total yes for me! The chili came out not in a bowl but on four sweet potatoes! They were so cute that I did not want to eat them at all, but of course I did! Each bite of the chili had a hint of something that I did not get in the last bite. It was so full of flavor, and again, the presentation was not what I was expecting at all! I was able to take my leftover home for later, which I can not wait to devour! The Hen and the Hog is a must go to while in this area! It's such an amazing gem!

The decor inside is super interesting- the states listed on the stairs, historical documents on the walls, really neat industrial and wood decor. I tried the pork sandwich box which was amazing!

The second best bacon cheeseburger I've had in my LIFE…read more Someone local recommended this place to us so we checked it out. I wasn't too excited because it's not the type of place I'd usually pick, but I went to go along with the group. It ended up being the best place we went during the whole visit to Raleigh. First off, the biscuits and hush puppies they bring out to start were so good. They were better than the biscuits we had at breakfast at a nearby restaurant that actually specializes in biscuits, and the honey butter was intensely flavorful. I just ordered the 4 sides because I'm not a big meat person, and while they were good, once I tasted the cheeseburger someone else at the table ordered, I ended up stealing it from him. They grind the beef for the burger in house, and the quality of the meat is top notch. The service was also 10/10. I don't normally notice or care about service since I'm just in it for the food, but this is one of the few restaurants where I felt genuinely welcomed in. I will absolutely be prioritizing coming back here again next time I'm visiting.
