    Bacon and cheese omelet with home fries
    Jeff B.

    Awesome food as always. Waffle with blueberries and whipped cream. I had the bacon and cheese omelet with home fries. Shelby was our waitress who always provides great and friendly service. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. Will be back soon!

    The beast omelette
    Steve H.

    When here for Mother's Day breakfast. Got here at 8am and were seated immediately. Got my usual Beast omelette with English muffin. The omelette was large and chock full of meat. I had enough for a second meal.

    Pancakes, potatoes and turkey sausage.

    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

    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.

    Tupelo Honey -- A Different Experience This Time…read more We decided to revisit Tupelo Honey during our trip through North Carolina because we had such a great experience the first time we visited. Our first visit was for breakfast/brunch, and we really enjoyed it, so this time we decided to stop in for a late lunch. We originally came looking for chicken wings, but we were told they had recently changed the menu and no longer offered them. So, we decided to try some other things. We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were served over polenta with a reddish sauce drizzled around them. The tomatoes were fried nice and firm--they didn't fall apart and held their texture well. I enjoyed the appetizer. For our entrees, we tried several things: bourbon meatloaf, breakfast potatoes, fried chicken, fried okra, roasted Brussels sprouts, and grilled harvest chicken. The food portions were generous, and everything was well seasoned. However, this meal was more of a "just okay" experience for us. The bourbon meatloaf was okay, although you definitely have to be in the mood for meatloaf. The breakfast potatoes, fried okra, Brussels sprouts, mac and cheese, green beans, and grilled harvest chicken were all decent but didn't really stand out. The fried chicken was very well seasoned--perhaps a little too well seasoned for my taste, as it leaned toward salty. Our drinks were good, and I still enjoyed the atmosphere. Our waitress was also friendly and attentive, which helped make the experience pleasant. Overall, this visit didn't quite live up to our first experience. My husband was especially disappointed. That said, I wouldn't completely rule Tupelo Honey out. Sometimes a restaurant has an off day, and I'd be willing to give it another try--especially since we enjoyed our first visit so much.

The shakshouka crepe was disappointing because while it had good flavor did not have the taste of shakshouka. No rich tomato flavors, cumin, or paprika. It was overwhelmed by the veggies places in it. The sauce was too little to balance out. Unfortunately because of those reasons it tasted pretty bland. Honestly, I would have gotten something different if I knew it was not really shakshouka. Service was good and they checked on us a few times to make sure everything was good. It has a nice interior and patio.

We ordered lattes and other pastries, and they were all delicious. I met the new owners when I stopped by, and they shared their new plans for upgrades and improvements. They own other coffee shops in Colombia, so I'm guessing those improvements will be good. It is located in a shopping plaza centrally located. 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. Overall, 100% recommended.

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)
