    Pancakes, potatoes and turkey sausage.
    Staci H.

    Today is my birthday, so I started with a tradition, breakfast at Brigs. I was pressed for time, since I had somewhere else to be after. But they were quick. I waited for about 10 mins, I was sat, my food came out fairly quick and fresh. And I was out in time and ready for my next stop. This place has such an old dining room feel to it, so that's always a nice touch. But as always, I'll be back.

    Pancake Combo
    Michelle P.

    We stopped in for a late breakfast and this place did not disappoint! After a 20 minute wait we were seated. The place was smaller than we thought from the outside and pretty busy for a Monday morning but our server quickly took our order. We ordered the Pancake combo with eggs and bacon and the French Toast combo with eggs and cheese grits. The pancakes were perfect; fluffy yet crisp on the edges. The French toast was a little over cooked but tasted good overall. Brigs seems to be the place where the locals frequent and the setting makes you feel at home. Good food and good service. Definitely would recommend!

    Alaskan omelette
    danelle b.

    Another great breakfast/brunch at Brigs. Our server Nicole was great! Very nice and attentive. I had the Alaskan omelette that comes with shrimp cream, cream cheese, crab meat and hollandaise sauce. You can choose between grits, home fires or fruit, I chose the latter and asked for my hollandaise sauce on the side. They played a cinnamon raisin English muffin instead of regular, I brought that to Nicole's attention and she remedied it quickly. No matter what time you visit Brigs they are also packed, so be prepared to wait, but it is worth the wait. The restaurant is very quiet, and clean. This is my favorite spot for breakfast.

    Strawberry Waffle Griddle Combo
    Anusha J.

    I came here for brunch with my boyfriend was instantly loved the feeling of the homey mom and pop brunch place on a rainy day. We waited about 15 minutes on a Saturday morning which was better than we expected. I got the Strawberry Waffle griddle combo with scrambled eggs and turkey sausage and I loved everything I got. The eggs and turkey sausage were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The strawberry was my favorite part ever as it amplified the taste with the waffle super well. Also all this for around $13?? That's amazing. Our waitress was very sweet and always checked up on us and we would definitely come back here.

    Turkey Club with Fries
    Shenna W.

    Each time we have went, the wait is out of this world. However, the service and the food has always been great. Always have a great time. We do try to get something different or whatever is the special for the month - just to shake things up lol Now, don't come here looking for a 5-star Michelin experience and ambiance. Cause this ain't that. It's like going to the mom and pops location to enjoy their love for cooking. Just some good comfort food.

    Garden omelette
    Kellie D.

    Went for lunch with my mom on a Sunday. 20 minute wait so they gave us a pager which went off in exactly 20 minutes. There is a little enclosed area with benches and stools to wait but it's quite noisy. Waitress was attentive but did not hover. She was quick to refill my soda without me asking. They have an extensive menu of eggs and scrambles. I like that they note on their menu that they do not add batters to their omelets. I want my omelet made of eggs -- not bread. I ordered the garden omelet and it was delicious -- stuffed with lots of veggies and cheese. Home fries had good flavor but were not crispy at all. Food came out very quickly. You pay at the counter when you leave. Overall a good experience.

    Chicken and waffles, bacon
    rahul s.

    I came here for brunch, we did have to wait 20 minutes before getting seated but it was worth it! We sat in a very cute corner and the ambiance was welcoming. Our waitress was great, and she always checked on us to make sure we were doing great. I got the chicken and waffles with a side of bacon. Everything was great the chicken was so well breaded, the waffle was fluffy and paired well with the syrup. The eggs were very well cooked and I like my eggs with hot sauce, be careful their hot sauce is very spicy. The bacon was a bit too crispy but it was called crisp bacon so that is too be expected. Overall it was great and I will go back

    Strawberry waffle combo
    NeShawn L.

    Final made it here for breakfast a few Saturdays ago. Got here around 11ish am. What I had heard from the locals in the area about them being very busy on weekends was true. For my party of 1, is was told it would be about a 20-25min wait. Wasn't a problem, I sat in their covered sunscreened seated section and waited until my buzzer vibrated. Once ready, I was promptly seated at my table and my waitress was there to take my drink order about 40secs later. Very nice lady, but never got her name. She was very attentive to me, as well as the guests that were seated in her serving section. I've been wanting to try them ever since I moved to the area back in July. I had heard good things from other ppl in the area. I ordered the strawberry waffle combo, with an additional side of home fries. Everything was delicious!! After ordering my food was out within the next 5-6mins. I would definitely be back to try some of the other breakfast options.

    Didn't see the big deal. Home fries were below average. Went to First Watch the next day to make up for it. Much better.

There's so many things on the menu that I still want to try. When we first got to the restaurant we were interested in sitting outside but the host told us the spot that would fit us wasn't available or in the section. However, she went out of her way to talk to her manager and they accommodated us. Off to a great start service wise! That great service continued throughout our meal. Our waiter was super attentive and everything was brought out really quickly. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, both inside and out. It's a very classy spot; very upscale mid-century. I had the stuffed French toast crepe with berries added (egg battered crepe dusted with a cinnamon spice blend, filled with cheesecake custard, topped with maple syrup and house-made whipped cream). Phenomenal. I'm still thinking about that crepe a few weeks later now...I also ordered the Strawberry Citrus Smash (tangerine ginger iced tea, strawberry syrup, lime juice, served iced). Also delicious and not overly sweet. Everything here is great. I highly recommend checking it out. My oneeeee issue is that they don't take reservations. I'm sorry but I don't want to wait around for over an hour to get a table for brunch on the weekend. It's really unfortunate because I've been here with friends before and we've had to leave to go to another restaurant because of such a long wait time. The only reason I was able to try this place after that was because I went during a weekday when family was in town visiting. Many of my friends have jobs that aren't very flexible and busy family lives, so the weekends are the best times to go; but at the same time they don't have a lot of time to spare to waiting. PRESS if you see this - I highly recommend that you reconsider your reservation policy, at least for the weekends!

I enjoy the open kitchen vibe that really gives it the bakery ambience. I recommend placing your order online in advance for pickup. The pickup process is convenient using your name to unlock the box containing your order.

This morning, I walked in and saw not one familiar face there, and I've come to learn all the staff walked out simultaneously weeks ago. After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Am truly sad to see such a Raleigh staple not see the value in the community their staff created. Cheers to Joe, Brennan, Brett, amber, and all of the others past a present (shout out Tim and Casey and Jackie!) for their place in our lives over all of these years! If you are looking for a coffee nearby, jubala (pendo), black & white (videri), heirloom are all great options (and sir Walter coffee and 42 & Lawrence are decent and close)

The place was crowded but there was no wait. I got seated immediately at a table near a column in the middle of the restaurant and Christy came over and asked if I wanted anything to drink. She brought me iced water and gave me time to look at the menu. I wanted to try so many things and I was too optimistic about ordering 3 things and finishing them myself. Good thing I only ordered 2 things! An order of fried catfish with home fries and one egg. And a biscuit with sausage gravy. The fried catfish was salted and well fried. It tasted delicious for my first bite! The home fries were basically cut potatoes, but they weren't very fried or flavored. I wished I ordered the side of apple sauce instead. The biscuit and sausage was good, but a bit too much for one person after eating a separate order already. Definitely bring more people so you can try more things. Also, I wished I had asked for sausage gravy on the side so I can try the biscuit on its own first as well. Furthermore, I would have more time to eat the catfish so I wasn't worried about the biscuit getting soggy. Christy came to check up on me every now and then. The place was buzzing with people and decorations so I didn't feel so alone. When it was time to pay, Christy brought me the check for me to pay at the cash register. Both Christy and the cashier were so friendly! The restaurant does have a women's and a mens restroom if needed.
