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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Brunches - Powerhouse Bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

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! read more

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! read more

4.25 Such a cute vibe inside. Seated quickly, friendly hostess, friendly server. Breakfast and lunch options, tons of drink options and mimosa flavors. I started with a peach mimosa and with half a bottle of champagne, that was enough with my meal. Good flavor- light peach, mostly champagne so not super sweet. For brunch: Hubs had the burger- good taste and size. Side of fries which were really good. Daughters had the shrimp and grits which had a lobster sauce. Good size shrimp and flavor. My other two kids had the classic- with eggs, bacon, and pancakes (one with chocolate chip). Came with a side- my son chose fries and my daughter chose grits. Large size and super good. I had the fried green tomato blt with bacon mayo with a side of loaded grits (cheese, bacon, fried jalapeños). Loved the grits and the sandwich was good too. They have a ton of healthier options too- we ate heavier since we were headed to a concert later and knew it would be our one meal. Easy parking. read more

Such a cool vibe for brunch. The energy is fun without being chaotic. Mimosa towers and mimosa flights are a win (plenty of options). The food delivered: the grits were amazing, and the shrimp & grits were a hit. Breakfast tacos were flavorful, pancakes were fluffy and hit the spot. Huge plus for the smiling, friendly servers who made the experience even better. Bonus: wait time was under 15 minutes. read more

Stopped here as it was close to shopping. It wasn't extremely busy and I was a little nervous. Service was fantastic with a very attentive young waitress. I was very excited to order shrimp and grits. Bf had a hot honey chicken biscuit order which included two sandwiches. The shrimp and grits was delicious, it had crab gravy on it which was so delicious but I could have used a little less gravy. I'm not a sauce girl in general so it was too much for me. Ambiance was nice as restaurant was nicely decorated as well. read more

I didn't know what to expect, but this beachy-vibe food. Grits that tasted smooth, creamy and made me happy to be back in the south. Who talks about the sides in a meal first except someone who now recalls what she's been missing. Now, on to the by-the-sea omelet .... I am a believer that bacon could go with everything. Although bacon seems like an odd addition to a seafood omelet it actually worked -- giving enough salty contrast to the tamer flavors of the shrimp and crab and Swiss cheese. I think they could have gone a little lighter with it because it can be overpowering but not so much that I didn't eat it. And the coffee? After the gawd-knows-what at the hotel, I fell in-like with coffee again. The service was outstanding and I agree with Jean K -- too bad they aren't open for dinner. I guess that's the downside to a place that gives its hours of operation in the title. read more

Brunches - Gluten Free Biscuits and Gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Walked in and the girl behind the counter didn't help us and we waited for the Hostess/waitress to arrive to be greeted. We were sat quickly after and given waters upon arrival. The food was a mix of good and meh. For the prices you are getting a good amount of food, but the flavor is a bit of a miss with a few dishes. The Hibachi Bowl was good, Avocado Toast was ok, the chicken nuggets and Mac-n-cheese were a miss. The nuggets tasted frozen and the Mac-n-cheese was bland. Good amount of cheese though. Our waitress/Hostess was as sweet as can be, attentive and patient. She was helpful with any questions we had and made sure our drinks stayed filled. The biggest negative would be about cleanliness. There is food and who knows what else on the walls, the tables were a bit sticky, and there were tables propped up with napkins that I'm positive have been there for a hot minute. If this is how they allow customers to view their establishment I'd hate to see what is behind the closed doors. read more

First timers here, and the hubs and I cozied up to the bar to enjoy a quick brunch before takeoff. The avocado toast was great and his hibachi bowl (random for a brunch spot) was tasty also. We ordered the $7 special mimosas and the pours were plentiful. The ambiance was cool and Brunches has nice streaming music for Sunday Funday! Parking may have been rough, but we lucked up as someone was pulling out as we pulled in. Service was attentive, fast, and friendly. I look forward to returning to try more menu items as I enjoy shopping in this plaza. Cheers! read more

Our food was good we ordered chicken and waffles, seafood omelette, hibachi bowl. I must say my omelette was lacking due to the over crunchy bacon that didn't go well and the amount of cheese. We were a group of 6 and waited 40 minutes for us to be seated at 2 different tables at 9:30am. They may want to create a 90 minute table policy. The drinks were good but the bartender was in a mood she kept slamming empty bottles that was VERY DISTURBING. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. I say go try this place for yourself overall it's a 4/5 for me read more

Located in Crossroads across from Starbucks. Plenty of parking spots in the lot but it does get filled up quickly due to all of the businesses nearby. The hostess greeted us right away and we were promptly seated. This is a very lively place - think brunch with the girls. I ordered the shrimp and grits which were classically good. I also ordered a specialty flight and was then confident this place is about their mimosas. I would definitely come back to try some more of their drinks over brunch! read more

Came here on a wednesday around noon and was seated immediately (there was only me and one other person). They had a $2.95 mimosa special for wednesdays so we ordered a strawberry mimosa to share and they brought it out in 2 cups, which we really appreciated. We ordered the powerhouse bowl with home fries and nutella french toast. Both were delicious! The powerhouse bowl was very filling. I would definitely come back again. We did try coming on a saturday a few weeks ago for lunch and there was a 2 hour wait, so just be mindful of that. The inside isn't huge but there's also bar seating. Overall, great new brunch spot in Cary! read more

Came here to start my long birthday weekend with a yummy brunch. The inside was hip and fun. Lots of orange (which I love.. it's my favorite color lol) It was decorated for the holidays. The staff greets you right away. Everyone was super friendly. They have TVs on over the bar area. One was playing pet YouTube videos and the other old episodes of fear factor. The other was playing funny YouTube -esqe videos as well. We got coffee, water and juice (got a mix of cranberry and orange). The juice was Super refreshing. They have a whole menu of mixed drinks and mimosas if that's your thing. They all sounded delicious! For our food we got the Notorious BLT and the chicken and waffles. Both where a real treat. The batter they used to make their waffles was awesome. Had a hint of cinnamon and coconut. (I think they use coconut flour for it) if I right ... such a good, creative idea. It came with a ton of chicken tenders which was nice. My only suggestion would be to have a little better quality maple syrup to complement the delicious ingredients! The Notorious BLT (love the name) was also really good. It came with bacon , lettuce , tomato, two eggs cooked to order how you like, your choice of bread, a spicy aioli / sauce and a fried green tomato and a side of fresh fruit! We Really enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. Our server was great! Will definitely be back! read more

I seriously hope the owner reads this. Almost all the plates are over $15. Okay, it's Cary, I'm willing and able to pay for a good breakfast. Mind you, I live an hour from the heart of Raleigh and have an abundance of great breakfast spots for half the price serving local ingredients. Whatever, wanted to take my Mother out and try something new. The food took forever on a quiet morning, and when it did show was absolutely atrocious. I'm no food blogger, but seriously. Everything was over cooked, and the turkey sausage links I swear are the same garbage Jimmy Dean links I microwaved in college. I ordered over easy eggs and they were rock hard. I could barely cut through the egg, and when I did, the whole yoke popped out and bounced. The bowl of grits were hard, and when I did poke through them they were like Elmer's glue. I didn't eat the eggs or grits. I was hungry and managed to eat half my pancakes after spraining my wrist trying to cut them (joking, but still). My mother's eggs benedict we couldn't cut through as well. Her bucket of home fry potato things were flavorless and just awful. Probably the only thing not overcooked. We both observed how awful the cutlery was. A nice place and the knives couldn't cut a bowl of pudding. Never in my life have I had such an awful breakfast that's SO EXPENSIVE. At this price point it should be pretty buttoned down. It's breakfast. How do you screw up breakfast that bad? You're marketing your establishment as a premium restaurant and it's absolutely despicable. The cook has no clue how to cook and when asked if a manager was in house conveniently there were no managers in store at the time. I will NEVER be back. This restaurant feels like a trust fund baby that wanted to start a restaurant and has absolutely no clue what they're doing. Again, I'm an average Joe, no food critic. The bus boy even criticizing the place! I work too hard to waste my time and money to listen to the employees trash the place and watch 75% of our meal go right in the trash. STAY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE! Update: My stomach was in knots all afternoon and I wound up throwing up what I did eat at this place. Horrible, horrible, experience. $40.50 for a taste of sausage and half a stack or pancakes. My Mother barely touched her plate and got sick as well. Don't waste your time! ** As awful as it was, it was my waitress's first day and I didn't take it out on her and gave her 20%. This place should be ashamed. read more

We were smart and went for brunch at 9am on a Saturday. The weekends can get packed with wait times up to 2 hours. It's not a huge place so keep your groups smaller. No reservations. Since it was still early, the staff was attentive and very helpful. Naomi is fantastic!!! So sweet and personable. The food came out so hot and fresh and bursting with flavor. The chicken and waffles was huge, coming with one large fluffy waffle and 2 chicken breast. The Carolina sunrise was so good with the perfect balance of sweet, savory and spicy with pimento cheese and hot honey. The hot honey does have a kick and I asked for it on the side. Finished every last drop and mixed with regular syrup for a touch more sweetness. I can't wait to go back and try their brunch shots and morning cocktails! read more

My husband ordered what I believed to be a Cinnamon Pancake with turkey sausage and a side of eggs. I tasted his pancake and it was so good!
