The Beast Omelette
Chris M.

We went to Brigs in the Forest for brunch after church on Sunday. If you go mid to late morning on Sunday, be ready to wait with the rest of Wake Forest getting out of church; we waited 45 minutes. But as always, it's worth the wait. No frills, good service, and consistently delicious and reasonably priced meals. I had The Beast - pictured below: a protein-packed go-to for my fellow weightlifting and fitness enthusiasts. Ok, yes, I went carb heavy but we're all allowed to splurge at times . PS for the manager, please get with the times and get a text service to notify patrons their table is ready. That poor young lady at the check-in desk ran the entire time inside and outside every time she had to let someone know their table was ready.

Turkey & Avocado benedict
Mike B.

Another delicious meal at the "go-to" breakfast spot in Wake Forest. It's (still) a busy place... Always a line. Waited about 20 minutes with a promise of 30 minutes. They use pagers so you can wait outside or in your car. Waiting space inside is limited. Service is friendly and efficient, although rushed. Seemed like they could have been short a few servers but the team working hustles! Had crab cake benedict. A pair of well executed house-made crab cakes atop a could-have-been-toasted-more English muffin. The eggs perfectly poached - not too runny, not too hard. Hollandaise sauce is a unique horseradish-base. The horseradish is subtle and adds a nice touch. Served with a side of fruit. Definitely a solid breakfast place. Plan your visit around waiting for a table, but they will not disappoint.

I always love getting together with family for brunch. Brigs is one of my favorite places to enjoy great omelets, frittatas or just a great scrambled egg. Never disappointed with the service or food!

Food was delicious as always. Picture doesn't do it justice- it's 100 times better! Service was great as always. Micaela was especially attentive and took great care to make sure everything was good.

Double trouble chicken sandwich with fries
Lori F.

This was our second time here. We went for lunch this time. Meals tho at were ordered were the special burger The Caprese burger with fries, the Patty melt with sweet potato fries, the Reuben with fries and the chicken sandwich with fries. They have a special sandwich, burger and salad each month maybe? The caprese burger had a burger patty, fresh mozzarella, tomato and a drizzle of balsamic glaze and pesto spread. The burger was pretty gimmicky and wasn't anything too specials the best part the fresh mozzarella didn't taste much of the pesto probably because it was on the bun maybe if it had actually been on the burger to meld with the other items might have made a difference. The patty melt had lettuce, tomato, red onion and he added grilled onions and mushrooms. He enjoyed it and the fries had sprinkled sugar on them and were good. The chicken sandwich was called double trouble. It had lettuce, tomato, jalapeño, bacon, provolone and ranch dressing. The chicken was juicy and had a bite to it from the jalapenos. My Reuben was delicious. If the rye bread had a stronger rye taste it would have been a 10 out of 10! The corned beef was delicious and the sandwich had a perfect amount of dressing and sauerkraut! If I return I will get that again!! I also got the Almond Nutmuff A brown sugar and cinnamon glazed English muffin topped with toasted almonds and served with cream cheese. The cream cheese came on the side so you could add the amount you wanted and it helped mellow some of the sweetness from the sugar and had the perfect crunch to it as well! Yes, that's definitely a repeat item I will get again, Our server was great! Got everything right including all moderations.

Turkey croissant with broccoli  salad
Allan A.

This place was packed at noon on Saturday. It is very loud so this may not be the best place for a group to socialize. The menu offered a number of delicious sounding breakfast and lunch potions. The griddle combo came with 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, plus a side. The meal was definitely filling. It came hot hot and fairly quickly after ordering. The pancakes were bland and other than butter and syrup offered no other taste. Table of four. Solid average rating.

Hidalgo omelette
Mercedes D.

We stopped by Brigs in Wake Forest for breakfast and had a really enjoyable experience overall. The menu is full of variety and it's a solid place if you're in the mood for Southern breakfast staples: biscuits, grits, omelets, and all the comforting classics you'd expect. I got the Hildalgo omelette with a side of grits and bread which as you can see, the portion sizes are huge and tasted good. While the others at my table got chicken and waffles and a steak breakfast which they all really liked. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and our server was friendly and attentive throughout. It's clearly a local favorite with a steady crowd and a lively vibe. The only reason we're giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because when we asked for a coffee carafe for the table, the first pot we got was unfortunately burnt and basically undrinkable. We had to ask for a new one to be brought out, which they did, but it was a bit of a letdown. it was also super crowded and pretty loud for the space. Still, we'd definitely come back next time we're in the area, it's a great go-to spot for a hearty Southern breakfast.

Second time that I come to Brigs. I liked it the first time and I still like it today :). Solid menu, good service and reasonably priced. I came with my wife and 2 young kids to celebrate first day of school ! Everybody enjoyed it ! Place is clean and food is good. Waitress was very attentive. And portions had pretty decent size that we ended up taking some home ! I'll definitely will be coming a 3rd time. !

Food was delicious, portions are plenty and atmosphere is warming. Service was quick and server was diligent with refills.

kids chocolate chip pancake
Quaniqua M.

It was super packed when we arrived, so I had high hopes. We waited for 40 minutes and were finally able to be seated. Our waitress came right away and got our drink order. The place isn't really bad, it gives me the vibes of a K&W's. I was a bit disappointed in the prices of the combos because I guess I'm spoiled by the prices of one of my favorite breakfast places in Greensboro. A combo with (waffles, pancakes, french toast) only eggs and a side is $11-$14 whereas I can get Bacon, ham, sausage, eggs, a side and pancakes for $12 at another place like this. It took about another 30 to 40 minutes to get our food. Everything looked pretty good. It's probably just me, but I wasn't too fond of the french toast, but my mom was. My breakfast potatoes were a bit cold when I received them. We did get a free side of fruit because the waitress just brought it out.

Gingerbread pancakes, scrambled eggs, and fried chicken
Natalie H.

This is the best waffle I have ever had! It was so delicious--and so big I couldn't finish it! The menu was so full of delicious-sounding food that I didn't know what to pick! The waitress was very nice--she got me a new fork when I dropped mine. It has a very nice vibe in here too, with good music, a fish pond outside, and outdoor seating. Also, we came here with an older relative with a walker and she had no trouble getting in. I would definitely recommend this place!

Ask the Community - Brigs

What is the average weight time for breakfast on a Sunday morning?

Depending on your party size, but 30 minutes.

Can you call ahead for seating?

Has anyone noticed if the staff are wearing face coverings and gloves while preparing and serving the food?

Does this place sell mimosas with their brunch?

I don't think so. Pretty sure they don't sell alcohol.

Sunday's AM Eatery serves breakfast and brunch items until 3pm each day, and the menu might be getting some new additions soon. They do not take reservations. Best of all, it is locally owned. The 97.5 health score is A-OK too. The seating inside is a mix of tables, booths, and bar seats. I did not order one of the Benedicts here, as they had fried eggs instead of poached and grilled brioche instead of English muffins. Instead, I went with the Smashed Toast, which was smashed avocado on Texas Toast and topped with a fried egg. A side of hash browns was included, too. Service was top-notch on my visit. I was greeted the moment I entered the door and seated soon after. My iced tea arrived seconds after I ordered it. I was told about the restaurant and the specials, then given time to decide what to order. My plate came out pretty soon after I ordered. I didn't expect it so quickly. I liked that my eggs had a runny yolk. I liked the flavors of the avocado, toast, and hash browns. I was very happy with my selection. The portion was good, and the price was reasonable. The French toast/pancakes caught my eye, too. You can select from the versions they have, like Elvis or mixed berry, or create your own. So I will likely go with that next time. I am glad I found another breakfast spot to dine and am looking forward to a return visit.

I'm not sure when it was made and I likely should have ordered something else when I was told to get it out of the grab and go. Service has improved since my previous visit although nothing had to be brought out to me, the ordering and paying was friendly. The salad came in two sizes and I went with the larger one. Having similar salads elsewhere I was expecting more toppings than there was and would have liked more salad dressing and I don't use much. I wouldn't get a salad from Lemon Tree but I would return for other menu items as long as they aren't pre-made.

We live in North Raleigh but regularly do our shopping in Wake Forest because it's so convenient,…read moreand once we're there, everything is close by, including lunch. The two of us eat at Over the Falls regularly and always enjoy it. I'm honestly surprised I hadn't written a review before. Lunch for two came to $65.80 + tax and tip, and there was more than enough food. I ordered one of my two favorites: the Ahi Tuna Pita (the other favorite is the blue cheese burger). I paired it with a side salad and blue cheese dressing, plus an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. My wife ordered The Barrel, their Philly cheesesteak, with a side of sweet potato fries. We also shared an order of house-made potato skins. It was far too much food, in a good way, and we took plenty home. Service was outstanding and truly a team effort. One moment stood out: when my wife hesitated to ask for sour cream for the potato skins, our server immediately said, "It's just 15 steps, let me get it for you." That small gesture made a big difference. The rest of the team was equally warm, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance works perfectly for us, lively, busy, and welcoming without feeling chaotic. I would be confident ordering virtually anything from the menu. We'll keep coming back.

Outstanding Wake Forest Eatery…read more Over the Falls features award-winning Specialty Salads, Sandwiches, Burgers, Pizza, Wings & Entrees; plus 12 Craft Draft Beers along with an Extensive Bourbon List, Handcrafted Cocktails & Mules. It's always crowded, does not accept reservations and does not have a bar or inside waiting area. You must register with the hostess, then wait outside (or in your car) until you receive a text that your table is ready. While this is inconvenient and unpleasant, the mouthwatering food is worth the trouble. One of our favorites is the Three Sisters Salad- which includes a generous scoop of either House-made Chicken Salad, Avocado Chicken Salad or Tuna Salad (we chose the Avocado), plus a large mound of Broccoli Salad, Fresh Fruit and a Flakey Honey-drizzled Croissant. Another winner was the Flash-fried Calamari & Banana Peppers. The substantial serving of Rhode Island Calamari was crispy, oh so tender and perfectly seasoned - with Thai Chili and Marinara dipping sauces. We also recommend the Cali Pastrami Sandwich and the Bacon & Cheddar Cheeseburger. Both come with a Pickle & either House-Made Potato Chips, Tortilla Chips, French Fries, Macaroni Salad or Cole Slaw. The NY Navel Pastrami was topped with Fried Onions, Habanero Jack Cheese, Chipotle Mayo and Avocado and piled high on a flaky, chewy golden brown Pretzel Roll. The big juicy Burger included Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion and several slices of crispy Bacon.

The waitress…read morebrought an egg that was still coated in raw egg all over, one of the runniest most undercooked eggs I've ever been served, no exaggeration. I asked if they could cook it more, which I never do, I never send things back bc I'm afraid of insulting the person's cooking skills who is handling my food. But this egg was still clucking. She took the plate, walked into the kitchen, we heard chopping sounds for 2 seconds and she brought it immediately back. She was gone with it for seriously under 30 seconds. She set it on the table and announced "I didn't want to turn it brown" and walked away. The egg was exactly the same doneness, but now chopped up. I don't know why I let this peer pressure make me second guess my judgment and intuition, but we were traveling due to a family tragedy and I was just tired and stressed and needed to feed my hungry baby. So I fed her the egg. Halfway through, my breakfast was brought to the table with a well-cooked egg on the plate, so I swapped hers for mine. I guess Border just feels really strongly that adults need fully cooked eggs and babies need raw ones. Later that night, my baby vomited. Then again. And again. She vomited 7 times all through the night. I vomited once. Diarrhea all day yesterday for both of us. We didn't get to go see our sick family member, for whom we flew across the country. It was just such a huge stroke of bad luck that I felt the need to share... I hate to ream a humble business, but serving a raw egg to somebody for a baby is not cool. Especially when they asked it well cooked. And then to refuse to cook it more when asked. By a mom who is trying to protect her baby. And to pretend they had cooked it more when they clearly hadn't. Please listen to mothers when we advocate for our children. We truly know best for them.
