    I have seen a lot of positive reviews about this restaurant. We were looking to have brunch in Greensboro and decided to give it a try. It was busy, but the wait was not too bad. The restaurant is a formal waffle house so it is not very big on the inside. We were seated at a booth and the inside of the restaurant is very cute. Our waitress was really nice and gave great recommendations. I tried the Red Velvet waffle with chicken tenders. The portion was huge and very good as well as the waffle. I also enjoyed my pistachio latte. My son had the chocolate cake which was fudgy and very tasty. The manager came by to check on us and I thought that was nice. Overall, a great service of food. I would just go on a weekday next time since it gets very busy.

    Arrived around 9 am on a Friday and the restaurant was busy. There were about 2 or 3 booths available when I arrived but they were soon filled as well. I love everything about how the staff welcomed my sister and I. We were checked on often and didn't have to flag anyone down for any refills. Bathrooms checked out as well. They are single stalls but there is a bench for you to sit and wait if needed. I'm late to the party dining here but the reviews do hold true. The food was tasty and portions were filling. I needed a carry out plate and so did my sister. She was happy with all of her food selections. Even the table next to us vocalized food envy for her chicken and waffles entree. I ordered the breakfast club sandwich with hash browns. I grabbed the ketchup but once I took a bite, the hash browns were all I needed on my fork. No extras. A few entrees stood out to me during this visit so I have to come back for more. As well as try a dessert or two! Thank you for the wonderful service and good eats!

    my burrito and side of fries

    I came to this place the other day for a work meeting with my manager. The restaurant is always super busy but we got there at a good time (2p.m.)where we didn't have to wait for our table. I was able to meet the owner of the restaurant and he was super nice! We had a really nice server who was very attentive. We asked her for some recommendations from the lunch/dinner menu and she recommended anything that has the birria in it. I ended up ordering the birria burrito and I also tried their iced vanilla latte. The latte was delicious it came in a cute glass cup with some whipped cream and caramel drizzled on top. Our food was out quickly as well. My burrito came with a side of fries that were delicious and well seasoned. My burrito was stuffed with birria, rice, beans, guacamole, and pico de gallo.It also came with a green salsa that was not spicy and I could tolerate it. It was very good, the burrito didn't feel like too overwhelming for me, although I did get full quickly and had to ask for a to go box. Overall if you're looking for a cute little brunch spot or want to grab something for dinner, Dear Dads is a great choice. The vibe inside is very warm and welcoming and they have some great music playing as well!

    This is one of our favorite places! The manager comes & speaks to us every visit. This time they found out we had 2 birthdays in our party & came back to sing with complimentary beignets!

    Hello Yelp... it's me again My boy E put me on and brought me to Dear Dads for the first time. We pulled up Sunday morning--party of 3, about an hour wait. Honestly? No complaints. That's how you know it's about to be serious. Now let's get into the meat and potatoes (and yeah, I mean MEAT). I ordered the Breakfast Chilaquiles with beef... and listen... this beef?? I don't know what they marinated it in--holy water? Jesus tears? Grandma's secret prayers?? Because GOOD LORD. I almost stood up and testified. Parking is a little tight, and the place is small--real intimate vibes. Like, you might accidentally make eye contact with strangers and end up knowing their life story by the time your food comes But here's what really got me: while we were waiting, the owner/manager came out and asked if we wanted drinks. DRINKS... while waiting?? That's not customer service--that's customer love. They care over there. Coffee? Fire. Food? Amazing. Staff? All good vibes. Real talk, I would've waited two hours and still left happy. 10/10, I'm coming back--and next time I'm bringing stretchy pants

    Dear Dads is such a gem! The food is insanely good.. seriously, every dish we tried was a hit and the menu has so many great options that it's almost impossible to choose. Their drink selection is just as impressive, with tons of delicious coffees, matchas, and fun refreshers. The atmosphere is lively and busy in the best way, and the decor is super cute, making it the perfect spot to hang out or grab brunch with friends. Service was great too, everyone was friendly, quick, and super helpful. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Fernando's Plate w/ sausage, corned beef hash, and biscuit
    Zachary F.

    Another wonderful time at Dear Dads! Busy as always so be prepared to wait at any time in the day. Got Fernando's Plate this time around, which comes with a waffle, choice of two meats, eggs, a side, and choice of bread. A loaded meal for sure. I opted for sausage and corned beef hash, sausage gravy for the side, and biscuit. The waffle was perfect, nice and crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. The biscuit was fluffy and buttery and went perfectly with a spread of peach jam. I topped mine with a sausage patty and the gravy as well and it was phenomenal! We of course will be back!

    I have been so many times and EVERY TIME, the customer service has been Excellent!! The ambience is still giving Waffle House vibes but I'm hoping to have a different opinion when they roll out their new location! Now for the food, it's giving comeback every day if you need too and try something new or as they say, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and get the same thing. I started with an iced Brown Sugar Coffee. For Brunch I had 3 stack of pancakes with Strawberry topping and I had to try the Red Velvet pancake with cream cheese drizzle....DELICIOUS I will continue to go back and absolutely can't wait for the new location to open!

    Dear Dad's is always a home run. The other day my boyfriend mentioned that he wanted French toast but of course it was 7 PM lol he asked if I knew of anywhere that would serve French toast at that time of night and I checked dear dad's website and sure enough they had not one, but I think three or even five options. I was able to make reservations for 45 minutes from the time I looked on the website which was a great thing because dear Dad's is always busy. I at first thought I was going to also get French toast, but then I saw Chile Keys on the menu. I couldn't decide between red or Verde salsa, but I know for the future the Red is certainly the way to go. The servers are genuinely so helpful. They do their best to get everybody in and out quickly. The only thing that in my opinion was a little weird on the night that we went was the "live music.." honestly not just us but the surrounding tables all discussed if it was karaoke or if the singers were really that bad. Not sure if you can tell by the videos, but it was quite the experience. This absolutely does not take away from the food or the ambience and I think that having live music is a great touch when it's done right.

    Small, quaint place with great service, quick food output, and all-day breakfast. The gravy was thick and seasoned well and the pancake was cocoa-forward without being overly sweet. The home fries were overcooked (but I'll look past that). Overall, a great meal that was very satisfying (including the drinks which was some type of hibiscus tea blend).

    Breast sliced chicken and Velvet waffle with crème cheese icing - side of home fries - most unique meal i have ever had!  LOVED IT!

    Birria quesadilla
    Caila L.

    Tried out Dear Dad's today for lunch. The vibes are immaculate, very bright and trendy. The menu had a lot of great options to choose from for breakfast and lunch/dinner. Our waitress was incredible and very attentive. The food was also phenomenal and very savory. I have the chicken and waffles and my friend have the birria quesadillas. Both of us had plenty of leftovers. Not a ton of seating and even on a random Thursday for an early lunch (11am), had to wait a bit to be seated. Would definitely go back.

    What a scrumptious skillet. It had sausage, potatoes, cheese, onions, green peppers and a scrambled egg. It was absolutely amazing. I craved it And the red velvet waffle was good too. It comes with cream cheese icing that I asked to be put on the side. Yum Yum.

It had some traditional breakfast and brunch items, but also several more interesting options that made it hard to decide. I finally landed on the Deviled Egg Toast, topped with pickle slaw and served with a side salad. I was not disappointed. It was delicious.

Now, the food. I had the bagel/lox and while it was tasty, it was too ornate, too complicated, with flavors which drowned the subtle lox flavor entirely. Sometimes less is more. My friend was content with whatever he had without deeming it anything remarkable. Breakfast for two came to $51 (incl tip), doubtless a sign of the times. Maybe people will remember that going out to eat used to be a treat, I suspect that would be a very good thing.

My partner visited Black Magnolia last week after her massage at Green Leaf Wellness center and raved about her cinnamon roll, so I decided to treat myself to one as well and it did not disappoint. I found the Patisserie straight away as I passed it on the way to my massage, but the signage on the curb helps since some businesses in Revolution Mills can be quite difficult to find. The storefront itself is quite small, consisting of a standing room and the glass case of baked goods, but there is seating outside and around the establishment. The staff was attentive, briefing me on all the cinnamon rolls they currently had and letting me know that there were some baking that would be available a bit later. Each roll looked decadent with flavors ranging from lemon blueberry, s'mores, and classic. There were also scones and other baked goods available as well, but I had my heart set on the Classic Cinnamon Roll. I bit into this beauty on my way home and it was the softest and most delicious cinnamon roll I have ever had! Baked with brioche dough and topped with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, the pillowy texture and flavors were so comforting and satisfying. I don't eat sweets often, so this was the perfect treat to end my day with. I am definitely looking forward to trying the lemon blueberry next!

I'll definitely come back to try more items.

The interior and overall vibe are really nice, and the food was good -- but nothing especially memorable. What completely ruined the evening, though, was the service and how an accident was handled. A server from another table accidentally dropped an entire chocolate dessert shot glass behind me, and I got covered in chocolate -- my neck, hair, sweater, jeans, and even half of our table. Accidents happen, and I totally understand that. What shocked me was that neither the server who dropped it nor my own server reacted or even apologized. My server saw everything happen but didn't hurry to help or check on me. I sat there for more than 15 minutes with chocolate in my hair and all over my clothes. Eventually, I had to call the manager myself and ask for napkins or something to clean up. To the manager's credit, she responded quickly and was helpful. Ironically, my server only came over after the manager had already handled everything. In the end, I left the restaurant with a dirty sweater, stained jeans, and chocolate still in my hair. Instead of properly following up, they simply handed me a business card and told me to email or call about the incident. Honestly, after what happened, why should I have to chase the restaurant for a resolution? A much better approach would have been for someone to ask for my contact information and proactively reach out. Overall, it was a very strange and disappointing experience, especially for a place that presents itself as upscale. Sadly, I wouldn't come back again.
