    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!

    Strawberry Waffle Griddle Combo

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    Brigs is a decent place for breakfast. The Creedmoor location is smaller than expected so that explains the large waiting area in the front. Service was mostly ok but I never got a refill on my tea like the rest of the table so that was odd. I ordered the Brigs Benedict and that came with grits or potatoes and I went with the grits but ended up with both instead. The eggs were cooked properly with runny yolks. The meal was filling enough without either side. The grits were cold so I didn't eat either side. I did like the tomatoes and included fruit. I'd eat here again but it wouldn't be my first choice.

    Bible study brunch at Brigs  has become a tradition

    Brigs is my absolute favorite breakfast /lunch spot I have never left Brigs without being completely satisfied Food is always served hot, well prepared and orders are accurate . The service is excellent regardless of how busy they might be. I often take my elderly Aunt to brigs and the waitresses are always so kind to her They remember es x their regulars. My bible study occasionally meets for brunch and they prepare ahead for the large group (12-15) The orders are always accurate and separate checks are given without an extra charge All day breakfast is another bonus and if you want to substitute anything they are very accommodating - last week my friend ordered shrimp Benedict and i told the waitress I am allergic to shrimp so so please be careful that there's no cross contamination When our meals came out she carried mine by itself before touching the dish with shrimp. If I had one complaint it would be that they need more handicapped parking in the lot

    This was delicious! autumn avocado toast!
    AJ S.

    First time here and let me tell you I was not disappointed. About a 20-30 minute wait which wasn't bad. The inside is family dining oriented with plenty of seating inside. I ordered the October special avocado toast with Gorgonzola, pears, honey drizzle , and cinnamon walnuts. It was delicious! Our waitress was very attentive keeping coffee carafe full and our waters filled. The menu has many options and something for everyone!

It's been an interesting journey--because while I absolutely respect the tradition, my palate has definitely evolved over the years toward lighter, more elevated, visually beautiful food. That said, sometimes you just have to lean in and experience the classics. Tupelo Honey had been on my list for a while, so during a recent work trip to Raleigh-Durham, I decided to check it off. The location is in a very nice, upscale area--one of those shopping districts where, if you see a Whole Foods nearby, you know the neighborhood is going to be polished, safe, and easy to navigate. Parking was simple in a lot across the street, and since I had a reservation, I was seated quickly on the patio, which was lovely and comfortable. For starters, I ordered the "biscuits for a cause," which is a nice touch knowing the proceeds support employee relief and development funds. They were warm and classic Southern biscuits--exactly what you'd expect. For my entrée, I went with the honey-dusted fried chicken (dark meat), a true Southern staple. It was well prepared, flavorful, and satisfying, especially if you're in the mood for something hearty and traditional. I also tried a cocktail called "The Debutante," which was pleasant and refreshing, and finished the meal with the butter pecan cheesecake for dessert. Overall, the meal was good--solid, reliable Southern comfort food--but if I'm being completely honest, it wasn't particularly memorable for me. I was traveling for work and dining on a per diem, so it checked the box for a dependable dinner in a convenient location. As a larger regional chain, it feels a bit like a rite of passage when you're spending time in the Southeast--something you try once to understand the landscape. Bottom line: Tupelo Honey delivers classic Southern comfort food in a polished, accessible setting. Service was smooth, the patio was pleasant, and everything was executed well. For me personally, it was a good experience--but not one I'd necessarily go out of my way to repeat. Still, as I continue eating my way through the Carolinas and beyond, I'm glad I gave it a try.

If you are not from the area, the GPS will take you straight to it. There is a parking lot for the entire shopping plaza with free parking. If you like to work in coffee shops, this one gets a bit busy and noisy at times. Keep that in mind. The staff was friendly and helpful. The space is comfortable and common areas are clean.

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.
