    We went to the downtown GSO location. They told us it would be a 45 minute wait but it was only about 15 minutes. The inside is gorgeous! Flowers hanging from the ceiling and the decor was beautiful. They do have breakfast all day. I had the French toast breakfast that came with 2 eggs, bacon and 2 slices of French toast with a choice of side. Everything was amazing. Our group of 4 all enjoyed everything. The service was outstanding! If you get a chance to go. I highly recommend. We will be going back!!

    Hands Down!!! All 5s...I can't wait to return!! This cute business hits the spot every single time. I feel welcomed everytime I enter. The service is top notch. Food = 5 Stars!! My sweet potato pancakes were overly cooked. They returned them and brought me back fresh pancakes. So yummy!! The blueberry hush puppies melted in my mouth...and those truffle fries = delicious!!

    I've always wanted to try Dear Dad's, and decided to go to their new location in downtown. Walking inside, you're immediately led to a hallway and greeted by a beautiful floral decor. It's just so peaceful and lovely inside! The service was wonderful, and the server very helpful with suggestions! We ordered the omelet and pancakes, to try different items. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious! Omelette was also amazing! And I loved that they had shredded hashbrowns. (If you read my other reviews, you'll know I'm obsessed with them! ) The only tiny wish for improvement was the coffee. It seems a lot of restaurants have challenges to keep their coffee hot. By the time you doctor your coffee, it gets like warm. But aside from this small thing, the entire meal was delicious! The surroundings were lovely, and the staff was fabulous! So all in all a great place for breakfast!

    Finally got a chance to check out the downtown location of Dear Dad's. It's great that they are in the position that they need to open a second location. Every time that my wife and I went to the battleground location, it was a wait, still worth the wait though! We came on a weekday so it wasn't too crowded and were seated immediately. I've only had breakfast items when I've been to Dear Dad's, so I wanted to switch it up and try something different. I decided to try the Philly cheese with steak. I was very impressed! The steak had excellent flavor, the cheese was delicious, and all the other vegetables on it were seasoned perfectly. I also upgraded to the onion rings... make sure you do it too :) The decor in this place is very nice and pretty. Makes you feel good when you're walking in. Now I'm confident getting both breakfast and lunch options from here after this past visit. No matter which location you go to, the quality of food is the same, and I highly recommend coming here to enjoy some great food!

    We were at our favorite farmer's market on a Saturday morning and I remembered my husband hadn't been to Dear Dad's yet so off we went! We must have timed it just right because we were seated immediately! Woohoo! I had avocado toast with grits and a side of fruit and he had chicken and waffles. Great sized portions and everything came out hot and tasty. I am continuously amazed at this place, the level of training the staff apparently has received and how well they all work together. It shows! The decor is super fresh and fun, they have really made this place adorable. Love this spot!

    Tried the breakfast skillet this time. AMAZING!!! Every ingredient was cooked perfectly as requested, It needed nothing! Layla is the best waitress and a great trainer. It's always nice to see familiar faces as well (Ryan). Well definitely go back!!!

    Very seldom do I sit down at an establishment and then I'm ready to go! It pains me to give this one star but it is very necessary and honestly if it wasn't for the food, I would've given zero stars if I could based off service alone. Upon arriving. We were greeted by Cheyenne (hope I spelled it correctly) and she was so pleasant. She asked my husband and I if it was our first time in and we told her yes. She informed us to make sure our server knew once we were greeted at the table but she didn't indicate why. I thought this is going to be a great experience but boy was I about to be extremely disappointed. We were seated and greeted by Yoshi (hope I spelled it correctly) who as quickly as she showed up and took our drink order, disappeared before I could even ask a question or say anything. When she returned with our drink order she then asked what we wanted. I placed my order and My husband gave his order. When asked what sides he wanted, he only wanted fries. He was quickly told that wasn't possible and when I asked why not because if fries was all he wanted I couldn't understand why that wasn't an option, she couldn't even give a reason. She went around the world basically spewing a bunch of BS to then say, "yea we were just told we can't do it". After she walked away, I realized I never told her it was our first time in. Upon grabbing her attention, I mentioned I forgot to tell you it's our first time in. She gave me a puzzled face and then I informed her of what the hostess mentioned. She responded with oh it's just for beignets but I don't know how she would know about that and said thank you for telling me. Needless to say we never got the beignets. Finally a couple was seated next to us and when Justin greeted them, he asked the couple if it was their first time in. Something Yoshi hadn't asked us when she greeted us at the table. As far as Ambiance, it was beautiful inside and gave a floral vibe throughout the entire establishment. Not sure I will return to this location but if I do I pray I get someone else who understands what customer service means from beginning to end.

    I would go here again and again ! Absolutely loved how the ambiance is , the food is great ! Love the quantity here it made me full with just having half of my plate ! Would recommend anyone who is looking for yummy brunch places Wait time is little long but the service is so good

    Wow! This place absolutely blew me away. I came with a friend who said this was the new breakfast spot to try in Greensboro. He was not wrong! From the gorgeous interior to the fresh squeezed juice to the unique drink and menu items, you truly cannot go wrong at Dear Dad's. We came on a Friday morning and it was already busy - still, our waitress was attentive and quick. I came hungry and got the fresh squeezed OJ, Biscoff Latte, Birria Omelette, and my friend and I split the red velvet pancakes. I was absolutely blown away by it all. The juice was so satisfying, the latte was the right amount of sweet but not too sweet, and the birria omelette changed my life. If you love a birria taco you must try this omelette. It was so much food too. We got the pancakes out of sheer gluttony, and had plenty of food leftover. I have not had red velvet pancakes in years - and so these absolutely hit the spot. The space is lively but you can still hear your party. Dear Dad's, if you're reading this, please come to the Triangle!

    I love the new Dear Dads location. I have been to the original one multiple times and was excited to come back to the downtown one. It was great for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the breakfast burger and a side of fries. Both were delicious and perfect with a side of homemade ranch. You must go to Dear Dads!

    Mike B.

    The biscoff French toast is low key in the top-5 French toasts I've head in my life. I came back a 2nd time in 4 days for a repeat. Everyone I was with looked like they were very pleased with their choices. I really enjoyed the corned beef hash. Pistachio latte all day. This place is obviously popular by how packed it gets. They don't take reservations pre-dinner so get here a little early for large groups.

    This place is fantastic! So glad they opened a second location. The food has been superb at both locations as well. Love the decorations and vibe. The breakfast burger is SO good. Like so good. I may just get that every single time. And you must try the blueberry hush puppies!! This past time, we had a lovely server, Bree. She had a delightful personality and was attentive. Good food, good service-it's a win every time!

    Birria quesadilla
    Leesa J.

    First visit to Dear Dad's. We came on a Sunday around 1:30pm with a group of five and ended up waiting about 75 minutes for a table. Luckily, I found street parking right in front of the restaurant, but I appreciated that they validate parking in the deck if needed. I was immediately impressed with the decor-- from the bright colors on the walls to the fresh flowers at the table-- the atmosphere gave happy vibes. Food was the highlight of the visit. The standout for me was the Birria Quesadilla--it was absolutely outstanding. The fried shrimp and fries were both good, and the Classic French Toast was a solid choice as well. I tried the Biscoff Latte, which was delicious, although I found myself wishing the serving had been a little larger. We also ordered the blueberry hush puppies, and they were very good once they arrived. The only issue was the timing--they didn't come out until after our entrees had already been served, which was disappointing since we had ordered them as an appetizer. The server was apologetic and said they ran out of small plates, which seemed like a poor excuse for not serving an appetizer. Despite that hiccup, the staff was welcoming and attentive. Overall, I enjoyed the visit to Dear Dad's, especially the food. That said, between the long wait for a table and the wait for food once seated, I'm not sure I'd make a return trip. Still, I'm glad I had the chance to experience it and see what all the buzz is about.

    If you've ever dreamed of visiting Istanbul for authentic Turkish cuisine, you don't have to travel…read morethat far, just head to Zeeyum Kitchen on W. Market Street in Greensboro! After hearing so many great things, my family and I finally decided to try it this weekend, and all I can say is... WOW! What an incredible experience from start to finish. First, let me say that Zee, the owner and chef, is one of the most welcoming restaurateurs you'll ever meet. He not only prepares amazing food but also takes the time to personally greet his guests, making you feel like family the moment you walk in. We started with the Hummus and Fresh Flatbread, and it was absolutely outstanding, fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. Next came the Börek (Ground Beef and Feta Cheese). Think of it as the best, most flavorful "egg roll" you've ever had, but with authentic Turkish flair. Simply delicious! I had the Bugu Kebabi, served in a clay plate with red onions and tomatoes. Sealed with baked bread. I'm usually not a lamb person, but when Zee explained that the lamb is marinated for hours in an onion-based broth, I decided to step outside my comfort zone. I'm so glad I did! The lamb was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. The presentation was also unique and memorable, with the delicate thin bread cut open right at the table. It was more than enough for my daughter and me to share. My wife ordered the Beyti Kebab, is a Turkish dish consisting of ground beef, grilled on a skewer and served wrapped in lavash and topped with yogurt sauce and butter sauce. Every single bite was bursting with amazing flavors. Another outstanding dish! All the desserts are to die for, many are imported from Turkey. Before you leave, don't miss the opportunity to enjoy an authentic Turkish Coffee, Turkish Wines, or a Turkish Beers to complete the experience. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers healthy, authentic, delicious, and very reasonably priced food, Zeeyum Kitchen should absolutely be on your list. The service is exceptional, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and there's plenty of convenient parking. Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back!!!

Kofte meatballs are also outstanding, if you prefer beef. There's a whole page of vegan dishes, as well Baklava selection is beyond words. All of us had a lovely time. Can't wait to repeat.

My husband and I were in downtown Greensboro on a Saturday afternoon and decided to hit this place up for lunch. When they called the place The Bodega, they really mean it's a bodega. It's decked out like a small convenience store from the second you walk in. We ordered our food at the cash register to eat at one of their tables outside. The cashier brought our sandwiches out about 10 minutes after ordering. I ordered the Turkey Caesar. It had turkey, shaved parmesan, marinated cherry tomato, house-made Caesar dressing, onion, and romaine lettuce in an 8" sandwich roll. It was a little pricey at $15, but it was worth the splurge. The dressing and parmesan cheese were unbelievable! Since this is in downtown Greensboro, there is no dedicated parking lot but we easily found street parking nearby. The place has a few tables outside for customers to enjoy their food. If you're looking for a good sandwich, I highly recommend checking The Bodega out.

I'd tell myself I was finished and would find myself going back in for "one more bite". My husband also loved his wrap as a healthier option. Not to mention this spot is super kid friendly. We are going to try not to sleep on melt in the future and we recommend this spot to anyone who wants a casual, yummy dinner.

The fries were thick cut (probably frozen) and let me tell you, I would just come back for the ranch! They have my favorite restaurant ranch.

Great casual atmosphere, the staff have really come into their own, and the food is simple but has little touches that often make it a small cut above most other sports bar type places around. My favorite things to order are the smashburgers, chicken philly (almost as good as the one at Old Town, a restaurant also belonging to this same owner), and now the fish and chips. I decided to get those last night, and the fish was two good size thick cod filets, fried and breaded perfectly. The fish was flaky and tender, the remoulade it came with really elevated it, I'm glad it was not plain tartar sauce (gross). The appetizer favorite here is the pulled pork nachos for me, otherwise, we usually just get meals. If I had one small complaint, it's that the tea is usually brewed pretty weak. Steep it a little longer, and you've got me fully hooked.
