The reviews were glowing, and repeatedly warned about the wait, that my expectations were probably set too high going in. I got the steak and eggs crepe and added avocado, extra steak, and kale. The eggs sit on top, and mine came closer to over-hard than the over-medium I asked for -possibly from sitting in the to-go box for 15 minutes, so I'll give some benefit of the doubt there. The crepe itself was tasty, and honestly I'd come back to try something off the sweets menu. But the fillings didn't land. The steak was a little chewy, and the mushrooms were cut too thick for a crepe -- they made it hard to cut cleanly and felt out of place. The add-ons I'll leave alone since those were my call. Overall the dish felt fairly run-of-the-mill against the hype. One note: this might be a dish better served by not allowing customizations, to keep it consistent to its intent. What threw me is that "steak and eggs" is the menu item, yet they also offer a carne asada crepe with no eggs ...so the only real difference is eggs placed on top, which doesn't change the crepe itself. Felt clear as mud after unboxing my meal. The latte I got was standard. Nothing wrong with it, nothing memorable. TL:DR this read as a solid fallback breakfast more than the must-try the reviews promised. The dogs I saw at the outside tables kept this closer to a 3.5 than falling on the other side of 3.

We have been to Dame's Chicken & Waffles a few times at the old Downtown location, once to the…read moreRaleigh location, and now the "new" Durham location. This new East Durham location is a little smaller than the old one, but they kept the brick aesthetic and the same jazz décor; it has great vibes, but it can get a little noisy with large groups. They now have a small parking lot. The new building has charm, although the surrounding area feels industrial and somewhat run-down. One of the restaurant's windows was boarded up, broken glass had spread into the parking-lot entrance, and barbed wire was visible from our table. The chicken is always tangy and moist. I don't know what they put in the breading, but I'm like a moth to a flame to that stuff. The mac and cheese is some of the best in the Triangle. Our server, Lanyah, was a hustler! While there, she had 9 tables, and one of them was a large group of about 10 people. My wife and I each ordered A Classy Hen with a Baby Blueberry and a Peach Apricot Shmear. I liked the Peach Apricot better. My wife got fresh fruit as her side, which was mostly just orange slices. This, unfortunately, is the end of any positives. Because it was just Lanyah, the service was slow, and it appears from our various times coming to Dame's that slow service is the rule, not the exception. Our server said that it was typical to have just a single server, one cook, and a busser--who was not that helpful. Lanyah was still busing some tables and when there was a loud crash that sounded like dishes falling, she ran and checked on it herself. It took her a minute to get us water and then take our order, but it was understandable. She hugged my wife when we were leaving when we told her she deserved better. The cook was doing their best, but it took 48-minutes and 49 seconds to get our order after it was put in...yes, I timed it. One family walked out due to the long wait. There was another male staff member-I'm not sure whether he was the manager, but he spent most of the evening sitting in the bar area. He was not seating people, bringing out orders or drinks, or helping out our overwhelmed server. They were supposed to close at 7:30pm, but we walked out the door at 8:05pm and the large party was still there waiting for their food, with the other man still sitting in the bar. We want to love Dame's, but slow service just overshadows everything else that is positive. Until they hire an appropriate number of staff, we will not be back.

Discovering a remarkable breakfast spot is a rare joy, and my wife and I recently experienced this delight at First Watch. From the moment we sat down, we were mesmerized by their extensive menu, brimming with enticing options. The atmosphere and staff were incredibly inviting, akin to being warmly welcomed into someone's home for the first time. I was immediately drawn to the Eggs Benedict, a personal favorite, while also tempted by the sight of their French Toast. Just as we pondered our choices, a surprise came our way--a special menu featuring Blueberry Lemon Custard filled French Toast, a dish so intriguing it made our decision even harder. Ultimately, I indulged in the Eggs Benedict with Bacon, an exquisite variant I believe is called the BLT, opting for roasted potatoes over the usual side salad. My wife chose the potato hash crowned with a perfectly runny egg, a choice she thoroughly enjoyed. First Watch has won our hearts, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. read more

The space is charming inside and out; the shaded patio has a nice vibe, though foot traffic to the entrance passes by those tables. Ordering is walk-up, and food is delivered to the table. Menu is broad with clear gluten-free indicators (huge plus). Coffee was dark and delicious, and service throughout was genuinely warm, knowledgeable, and fast -- easily 5 stars for hospitality. Getting to-go boxes was effortless and we were offered refills often. Food was a mixed bag. My wife had the gluten-free smoked salmon toast with avocado. She wished the veggies and tomato were grilled; the GF bread itself was very good, but the greens/tomato ended up pushed aside. I had the smoked salmon Benedict. The salmon portion felt light, and the hollandaise leaned more toward mustard than citrus and was a bit thin. Breakfast potatoes and veggies were nicely cut and well-seasoned but undercooked; same for the bacon, which tasted more tough than crisp. (I reheated the potatoes/veg at home -- flavor was there once cooked through.) Prices felt reasonable, ingredients seemed thoughtfully sourced, and the team's earnestness shines. With a little tighter execution (fully cooked potatoes/veg, crisper bacon, brighter/thicker hollandaise, slightly more salmon, grilled tomatoes), this would be an easy 5. I'll definitely be back -- I gave it a 3.7 but rounded it up to 4 stars for the service, coffee, and GF-friendly menu options.

As far as I could tell, the whole little building was the kitchen, with a window where you stand outside and place your order. My food came out quickly; the main wait was for my turn to order. There's a menu of lunch/dinner plate options painted onto the building, and there's a little paper list of other foods taped to the window. There are some prices listed on the piece of paper, but it's not super clear how much everything costs. I got a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and a side of hash browns, and it all came out to $8. No credit cards, so have your cash ready, or you can pay via cashapp. The biscuit was fluffy and delicious, bacon was crispy but not overdone, the eggs were eggs, and the cheese was probably some sort of Kraft single. I expected the hash browns to be fried, but they were instead maybe boiled or steamed? They were cooked with onions and some sort of seasoning - super flavorful and filling. It's interesting to see this neighborhood spot just around the corner from Golden Belt and the area around Ponysaurus that's getting increasingly developed/gentrified.

Service was fine, our waitress was very nice and attentive. They have themes on the weekend, this weekend was Mardi Gras. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. The food was just a miss. We ordered the burrito, the BLT & a waffle on the side. - Burrito is a nice size, filled with sausage, bacon, ham, egg & cheese. I wish it had more flavor. It needed peppers and onions or some seasoning. All you really taste are the breakfast meats that were in it. You can get a side of salsa to go with it, but it doesn't do much. - BLT is a good portion as well. You can choose the type of bread you want, and it has fried green tomato's in it! I chose the croissant, which was buttery and held the sandwich alright. Yet again, it's missing some type of seasoning. I would suggest seasoning the tomatoes even the lettuce. Salt and pepper can go a long way. Or maybe come up with a special sauce to spread on the sandwich. - Waffle, very very sad waffle. No type of crisp to it, it also lacked a slight sweetness. I know that's why the syrup is for, but a good Belgian waffle at least has some crisp to it and a slight sweetness. We didn't order drinks, I don't think I will be back to try the again or anything else on the menu. But I see a lot of people liking it. So maybe give it a try yourself! It might a spot you really enjoy!
