    Breakfast Tacos*
    Courtnay B.

    Breakfast tacos were amazing. The guacamole was super fresh and the eggs portion was generous. My husband had Carolina Sunrise and really enjoyed it. It was pretty busy so we sat at the bar. Great service. The place has a liquid brunch vibe with mimosa towers, mimosa flights, spiked coffee drinks, etc.

    Bangin' Burrito*
    Haley B.

    Came here on Tuesday around 1pm for some lunch and ended up ordering breakfast instead. There was no wait time and food came out in 10 minutes. I got the Bangin' Burrito while my husband got the Brunches Burrito. Both items came with a signature sauce that our waiter initially forgot. We never got refills on our drinks either. Although our waiter was very kind the service wasn't great. However, the food definitely made up for it. Next time I come I'll definitely try out the lunch options and get a mimosa flight too.

    Raw French fries. Look at the uncooked middle. So nasty.
    Kristen A.

    Let's start off with the food. Since that's the most important. It was TERRIBLE. Like every single part of both my order and my mom's order was so nasty we just left it. And I was starving. Like so hungry I would have eaten dirt. The eggs. Yall - you are a brunch place. If I order medium and the eggs are raw and running off the plate then you just can't cook. Second, the French fries were raw. Not cooked all the way through. ALL the food came out ice cold. Raw cold French fries anyone? Let's talk about my mom's salad. It was worse than a Publix buffet salad. The chicken was mealy, and, ice cold, the clumps of kraft cheese thrown on top made me laugh out loud and it tasted nasty. The bacon was good. I'll give them that. They asked what I wanted with my biscuit and I said butter which never came but at this point I was already like well I'll never come here again. Second: we were driving through town on the way to go hiking. It was supposed to be a quick little lunch. Ha! It took an HOUR to get raw eggs, cold food and raw fries. Yeah you heard me right and no I'm not exaggerating. A full honest to god hour. Totally threw the day off. They said, only after I asked after waiting over 45 min that a grill was down. Well shouldn't you tell people that?? Like give us a choice if we can stay? Finally as others have said it is really loud. I went with my mom and it was really uncomfortable. I guess if I wanted to get wasted on a Sunday and I was 20 maybe? Who knows.

    This place really surprised me. We were just looking for a good spot to get a brunchy/lunchy type meal on our way to the coast, and new there would be a lot of options in this area. So we pulled off, took out the trusty Yelp app, and this place popped up. Pulling it, it was clear that they were popular and busy. We went in and there was a wait, about 15 minutes. We decided to hang around instead of worrying about "making good time" and are glad we did. Once we got a seat, we received great service. Our server always kept our drink full, and checked on us just enough. We never felt like we were searching for her. Looking at the menu, I was surprised to see that the prices were not unreasonable, even though it's a very trendy place. in fact, they had a $10ish lunch menu available with a few selections that even included a drink. I was more in a lunch mood so I went that direction, and got a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Food came out hot and in a reasonable time even with a full restaurant, so this is a well oiled machine. For the price, I was pretty impressed. I would say the sandwich was about the size of your average CFA chicken sandwich, but had a bold buffalo flavor that I liked a lot. They didn't skimp on the fries, and the ranch complemented it perfectly. We finished up and our server was on top of things getting us the check, so really we still made "good time" on our drive to the coast. I would recommend Brunches to travelers and locals alike!

    Eggs Benedict and home fries

    Brunches in Cary is located in the Crossroads Shopping Center. The shopping center has plenty of parking, but the spots closest to the restaurant might not be available. I did find a spot close by so maybe someone just pulled out. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so there may be a wait for a table. The restaurant does not take reservations, so it is first-come, first-served. We were a party of 8, and I was told the wait for our table had been 45 minutes. A smaller-sized table might have less of a wait. There is also seating at the bar and tables on the patio outside. The decor is simple and welcoming. The restaurant could use some sound dampening, as it was loud inside. It was hard to hear the waiter and those at the same table. The menu is good-sized with a variety of breakfast and lunch options. One side of the menu is devoted to beverages. You can order chicken and waffles to avocado toast to eggs benedict to omelets to burgers. I ordered the eggs benedict as that is what I tend to order for brunch. It came with grits or home fries. I went with the home fries. Ketchup and the syrup were already on the tables. I did like the eggs benedict as the eggs were runny and the hollandaise sauce was good. I would have liked the home fries to be cooked longer. I prefer a more relaxing setting to eat, so I don't see myself returning to the loud environment.

    I arrived around 8:20am on a Saturday morning. It wasn't busy at all and we were seated promptly. Bridget was our waitress. We each ordered the speciality mimosa flight at 8:28am and revived it around 8:35pm. This was very unique and I enjoyed it! It's always great to see someone outside of the usual flavored mimosas. I ordered all American breakfast with blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, and home fries. My date got the chicken and waffles with grits. Food came out surprisingly quick, about 10 mins after ordering. The pancakes were large and tasty and bacon was crispy! My date said that "Chicken is really good." The longer we sat, I noticed it started to get busy but the attentiveness of waitress remained constantly. We were in an out in an hour. I definitely plan to return. No complaints.

    Brunches has yet again provided a wonderful experience for a casual brunch. Connie took care of our party with attentiveness and kindness, and was more than happy to answer our seemingly endless questions. I'd keep her as my bartender forever if I could!

    Powerhouse Bowl
    Melanie W.

    This place is the best. We went for an early Sunday morning and got a seat right away. It filled up fairly quickly. We had outstanding service! The coffee was solid, the food was really good. I ordered the Powerhouse bowl and it was so good. Love the combo of the sweet potatoes, turkey sausage, eggs and spinach. The chipotle aioli set it over the edge. Perfection! A legit brunch place!

    Alauna A.

    This was a really nice spot for breakfast and brunch. Everything was excellent. We were put on a waitlist, but it was only about a 15 minute wait before we were seated. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout the entire meal. We ordered the mimosa specialty flight, which included Cloud 9, Tequila Sunrise, Blue Lemon Drop, and Creamsicle. It was a fun and tasty selection. For food, we had the Breakfast Tacos, the All American, and the Shrimp and Grits. Unfortunately, we forgot to take photos of the Breakfast Tacos and the All American, but everything was absolutely delicious. Overall, this was a 10/10.

    One of the dining clubs I'm in met here for a fun Saturday treat between Christmas and New Years. It was one of those warm late December days, sunny and crisp, but we sat indoors, looking poking out through the large window to their deck. They have a rather large menu for a Brunch place -- one side is drinks and the other is food. Drinks - mimosas, fancy coffees, and "espresso" martinis were the headliners. I got their basic espresso martini. They use cold brew rather than espresso, and they put in drizzles of chocolate syrup, so it's very sweet. Also, what's with the half-dozen coffee bean garnish? Three is traditional, so is six just doubling that? Anyway, it's not bad, fairly boozy, just really sweet. I went with the eggs Benedict. It comes with grits or cottage fries, which I ordered. They were mostly good - a bit over cooked and dry, but serviceable. The Bennie itself was the barest minimum. One this, tasteless muffin, one small slice of Canadian bacon, and a nicely poached egg. There was a generous amount of hollandaise sauce with a great flavor, but it just felt kinda phoned in. One of my friends had a western omelette while he liked. Another had the BLT and Bloody Mary, and she said both were very tasty. Overall, we were all happy with the food but no one felt it was worth the drive to return in the future.

    The wait was long, but we found 3 seats at the bar instead! Talia (name may be spelled wrong) was our bartender and was amazing. Our food was fresh, the drinks were great and the vibes were excellent.

    Breakfast tacos
    Ashley B.

    This is SUCH a yummy spot! We came on a Saturday morning, it was very busy so be sure to get there early. The atmosphere is nice and so are the servers. I shared a mimosa flight which was super tasty, the flavors are great, I highly recommend. The cold brew is just okay- they don't have lattes or flavored syrup (PSA for all the coffee lovers). Our food was DELICIOUS! The chicken tacos and fries are absolutely amazing, they are flavorful and very filling. My breakfast tacos were also great, it lacked some seasoning but overall I enjoyed it. The grits are delicious as well. Overall, a wonderful spot, we will certainly be back!

    Chicken and Waffles with loaded grits
    Shakira W.

    I finally made it to the infamous Brunches. Each time I've tried, the wait times are so long, but this time, I sat at the bar because it's first come first serve. I started with the All American Breakfast and got the blueberry pancakes with fresh blueberries. The pancakes were soooo fluffy, bacon was perfectly crispy just how I like it, and they were generous with the portion of potatoes. The loaded mimosa flight has vodka so be prepared to have a nice feeling. The bartenders were super cool and friendly. This day they were dressed up like their boss which was pretty funny, but it added to the overall vibe. It seems like it may always be a pretty chill place to eat. I went back to visit a second time the following weekend lol (I know) and sat at the bar again and had to try the chicken and waffles with the loaded grits. I couldn't believe my taste buds when that chicken hit my mouth. It was amazing. Perfectly seasoned OMG. The loaded potatoes had cheeses, jalapeños, and bacon and let me tell you, I don't know what I've been thinking and can't believe I didn't try this concoction together sooner. Bottom line, like the terminator, I'll be back!

I don't know what's going on with this place, but from the other reviews there is a clear theme that if youre asian or hispanic you're not welcome here. Which is truly sad because I love the message and support for emergency workers that Barry's Cafe is supposed to represent. That said, no one needs a 14 dollar dry breakfast burrito.

They knew what to flag, what could be adjusted, and made the whole process easy without turning it into a long Q&A session. It's a small space inside, but there's plenty of outdoor seating, which helps a lot when the weather cooperates.

They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta.
