The barbecue was seasoned just right; the collards and green beans were seasoned just right. The coleslaw was delicious, and even the sweet tea in the mason jar, made it like grandma's. The service was very attentive and the wait time was very quick for our food. It was laid back and it was hard to believe such a treasure is nestled in this area of Raleigh! read more

A group of 10 of us visited and we were all so happy with both the service and the food. I got the roast beef with potatoes,collards and squash. All was great except the squash, but it was just ok. Many of the others got the flounder plate and the piece of fish was huge. Everyone enjoyed the biscuits and hush puppies that were brought to the table while we were waiting for our orders. The food came out really quick, especially for them being so busy. The decor is country/western and your tea is served in a mason jar! Too cute! They are only open during breakfast and lunch and are closed on Sunday. read more

Pam's Farm House - Roast beef - Southern Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Pam's Farm House is one of those Raleigh treasures that feels like it's been part of the community forever, and honestly, that's pretty close to the truth. This place has been serving up classic, stick-to-your-ribs Southern comfort since the late 1960s, when Pam and her family first opened the doors in what used to be a simple farmhouse on the edge of town. Over the years, generations of regulars have kept coming for the same reason I do: honest food, warm people, and that unmistakable Southern hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family. And soon even more folks will get to see what makes it special. Pam's is slated to appear on WRAL's "Tarheel Traveler," which feels exactly right. This is the kind of spot that deserves a little love on TV. Food-wise, I've had two winners so far. The chicken barbecue is tender and flavorful, and the Salisbury steak takes me right back to Sunday suppers growing up. Both times I went for the mashed whipped potatoes with gravy -- yum, yum, yum -- and the cucumber salad, which was always my mother's favorite. The kitchen turns out scratch-made biscuits and hush puppies that disappear as fast as they hit the table, and the bottomless sweet tea is exactly what sweet tea should be. The staff? Absolutely delightful. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind in that effortless way only true Southerns can pull off. If you want a taste of old-school North Carolina cooking in a place with real heart, Pam's Farm House is it. I'll be back again soon... probably for more mashed potatoes and hush puppies! read more

Pam's Farm House - Inside - Southern Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

The food was fine. Had omelettes. Service was friendly. I wish that the menu made it clearer that debit and credit cards aren't accepted. I noticed a sign about that across the room while eating. I never carry cash. The ATM in the restaurant charges a $1 fee, but it was broken, so I had to use the ATM on the bar side, which charges a $3.50 fee. I'd rather have given that fee to the waitress. Not accepting cards will keep me from visiting Pam's Farm House again. read more

Great service and good food. Visiting area and wanted to taste some local fare. Would recommend

Pams was on my YELP list and via my bestie I dropped in solo 1st time but this visit he was with me. Service, food and feeling that NC foodie vibe which echoes my childhood was on. Our hostess lead us in stopping @ ATM IE REMEMBER ITS CASH ONLY NO TAP! Once seated we both skimmed menu that Saturday morning but I knew I'm going back to dwags. Homemade chilli, fries done in fresh oil, when I mentioned to server I could smell how fresh oil was she informed me they change oil daily and as someone with extremely sensitive allergies I was very impressed. True Bright Leaf weiner, steamed buns, coleslaw, homemade chilli plus onions reminded me so much of my DADDY who unfortunately passed 3 years ago. He introduced me to diners and especially a great CAROLINA HOT DOG! PAMS KEEP ON SERVING GREAT FOOD AND MEMORIES! I adore this family refusing to go into all new apps, being cash only and true customer service. You feel at home at Pams plus u get quality food served by people who ate proud of their livelihood and business. All vets, visitors stop by see Pam and her Mom works cash register! A TRUE NC STAPLE AND RALEIGH LEGEND! read more

Parking lot is packed when you arrive. Don't let that scare you away, they seated us the moment we walked in the door. Their tea is still amazing.,Very freshly brewed and they still put the pitcher on the table! The staff is still happy and friendly everyone is telling you good morning and asking how you are. They are open 6-12 so at 9am I've ordered a cheeseburger ( they offer slaw and chili on it too). My son ordered 2 of those plate size pancakes and bacon and my friend ordered scrambled eggs and cheese grits and biscuits. From order to food arriving took only 12 minutes even though the parking lot was completely packed and so was the restaurant. Minutes from the fairgrounds it's a perfect place to eat before the Greek Festival! The restaurant is very quiet with all the people that were in here. We didn't even have to raise our voices. Highly recommend! read more

CASH ONLY. Letting non-local diners know since I don't carry an ATM card myself and luckily the Hubs had the cash or I would have ended up washing dishes! Lol. This is a good old-fashioned diner with many local patrons serving up Southern hospitality at its finest. I ordered the 2 egg breakfast with sausage patty, grits (of course) and biscuits. This was my first time I ever tried red eye gravy. Think of it as a savory salty unami flavor similar to coconut amino acids. A light sprinkling of it on grits was perfect. We had not just one fluffy biscuit but two per order! Enough to take home and it still tastes great the next morning. Plus, we tried the fatbacks which are similar to pork rinds. Yum! Our sweet server Tanya poured out the Southern hospitality like molasses over hot cakes! We never had an empty cup of coffee during our breakfast here. We felt so welcome here in Raleigh and here at Pam's. Definitely ask for Tanya if you're visiting here. Parking in the lot. read more

Pam's Farm House - Southern style breakfast - Southern Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This place is a gem, along with everyone that works there!! I went for the first time after being told about it from a coworker. So we all went out for a lunch and had the best time. The menu is simple, breakfast served all day (they close at 2) and lunch. They have multiple seating areas, but it seemed like everyone was mingled in with each other. The food came fast (even for our large group) along with baskets of fluffy biscuits and hushpuppies. I ordered the BBQ Chicken with Hot Sauce (white meat) fries and apple sauce. The specials change daily and so do the sides/vegetables. The chicken was cooked to perfection and that sauce...holy moly, I could slather that on everything! The one draw back is that it is a CASH ONLY. They do have 2 ATMs, but yall, they charge (up to $5.25 for fees)...so if you can hit your regular ATM before you arrive, even better (i didnt have time to). But dont count out Pam's, that hospitality is just as great as that BBQ Chicken read more

Pam's Farm House - Biscuits and Gravy - Southern Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This restaurant is big! Great for groups and Sunday church crowds. No white table cloth or spotless silverware but services are always friendly and quick. This place is CASH ONLY! Their breakfast menu is grand with simple and standard southern touches that leave u full every time. I've only there on Saturdays around noon so I cannot speak for their lunch menu or dinner. Such a great local place for good food and warm cup of joe read more

Very very AVERAGE. Have eaten here several times as our friends insist on eating here because of their family tradition during football weekends...but they admit that the food is only SO SO. The portions are fine. We've tried many plates (beef tips, soups, chicken specials, sandwiches....) in the past and the flavors are generally over-salted. Sweet tea is spot on. Service is always super. Friendly and prompt. Ambience is just what you expect for a country diner. read more

I ordered the pork chops, squash and onions, and butter beans/corn. It was fair except butter beans and corn was the best thing. Pork chops were dried out and cooked hours earlier. Not fresh and not crisp. Squash had no onions and no flavor. I've eat at Pam's Farmhouse all my life, but this was my worst meal. read more

Owner Pam is a very snooty and rude person. She thinks she and her restaurant is better than anyone and she owns the angus barn. They only take cash like this is 2026 not 1983. The staff is also slow and the food is mediocre. I will not be back. I will go somewhere else because there are plenty of places that is worth your money read more

Friendly staff. The food was fresh and seasoned well at both breakfast and lunch. I wish they would offer a choice of grits or hash browns at breakfast instead of treating the hash browns as a side at full price. We will definitely return. read more

Delicious and fresh tasting! Simple meals and good friendly service. I recommend Pam's Farm House! read more

We stopped in for a nice leisurely breakfast. The parking lot was crowded but there was room inside. It has a humble interior, the first thing I noticed were the two ATMs inside. Assumed they take cash only (this was correct!). I got two eggs and tomatoes and the biscuits. Definitely try the biscuits!! They were so outstandingly good. Thankfully we got two per order. One would not have been enough!! The coffee was good. The service was wonderful and the staff cheerful. read more

Christina that was our amazing servers was and is amazing. The food 10 out of 10. First time here highly recommend it. FYI everything we ate ( 4 of us) was whoa amazing. But the star was their pancake. Must must must get one (even to share). read more

Very, very basic, cheap Southern fare. Tucked away behind a lot of weeds & next to garage station we had to circle to find it. Seems to have a loyal following of local folks for 3 - 4 decades. A LOT of seniors love this place. Portion sizes do not compensate for the overly greasy, hardly any spices food. It will fill a hole if you are on a budget. Southern hospitality was a nice touch & welcome. Won't be back, however. read more

Seated immediately despite a packed house. Staff is very friendly. Old fashioned southern decor. Food is plentiful and quite good. I got breakfast, my companion went with lunch. Both were delicious. Don't think there's a bad option on the me read more

Had lunch at Pam's farm house a few times. Usually its ok. Today I tried the country fried steak. It was served dripping in grease. Took a few paper towels to sop it up. Just can't fix dripping grease steak. May not try again. Will wait and see. read more

Pam's was a surprise and should be on your breakfast list! Who else serves red eye gravy, grits, black strap molasses with their egg dishes. We took a couple biscuits home because there's no way we were leaving those yummy biscuits. Food was hot, good and arrived quickly. Service excellent! Definitely will be back when in Raleigh! read more

What a lovely little restaurant! The staff was so friendly, and the food was also great! I had a pancake, sausage, link, and a biscuit and gravy! All were fantastic! I would highly recommend going here! And I will for sure be back read more

When you want good southern cooking in a setting that hasn't changed in many years this is the place. As authentic as it gets in Raleigh these days. Excellent breakfast, great lunch.

Wonderful people own this restaurant!! They have fantastic country cooked food and great people who work there!!

Always great southern food not too many of these places left There is another one called Watkins Grill off of Atlantic avenue both of them very good. I come here every Friday just for their barbecue chicken as an excellent sauce hot sauce and they're mac and cheese and French fries read more

Clean, quick, easy and quality are the adjectives I would use to describe this Raleigh mainstay. This place serves simple country style breakfast and lunch items. The staff was very friendly and the food came out quick. Everything was had was cooked to order and was very good. This was our first visit here and we chose it due to its proximity to my son's high school; Saturday mornings are post game film days for the football team. So this place fit the bill for us today. Just be mindful, it's cash only!! Yep, old school lol. If you do dine here and forget some cash there is an ATM by the front door. Definitely check them out! read more

A classic American diner, we recently visited here from out of town and were welcomed with the southern hospitality and rich American decoration. The food was standard American breakfast fare, cooked well and served quick. All in all, a great place to stop in for some food if you're hungry in the morning! Just remember, cash only read more

Olde time Raleigh restaurant. It's almost like a cafeteria with food arriving a couple minutes after ordering. My wife loved her BBQ Chicken and we'll plan to go back for breakfast at some point. Always a line waiting but tables turn so fast it's not a long wait. read more

I wouldn't even fed pigs with garbage, that they call a food here. I paid 15$ for 2 eggs, 3 slices of tomatoes, uneatable REAL COUNTRY HAM (it was grossly over salted and hard to cut). Biscuits were all right, but the butter they serve is made of water, soybean oil and palm oil. This is the type of food that responsible for americas obesity problem - they are killing their community and making money of it. And when I mention this to elderly lady with hideous haircut at checkout - she got defensive and recommended that I should try to run a place like that. Who does that??? What a terrible terrible place... read more

Went in for lunch with my friend. We got grilled biscuits, beef tips, fried Ocra, & collards and country ham with red eye gravy, deviled eggs, & snaps with new potatoes. The country ham was perfect. Love the snaps and new potatoes and collards. The eggs and Ocra were good. Get the grilled biscuits. Mimi and Papaw would feel at home here. read more

Pam's Farm House - Beef tips, fried Ocra, & collards - Southern Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This is a must for us every Saturday. Yes the food is really good (the only place my toddlers will eat eggs) but what makes it special for our family of five (two toddlers and a newborn) is the service. The staff feels like family. They make my children feel so welcome and greet us so warmly. Really feels like the whole experience is one Southern comfort hug. A place to go when you need a pick-me-up in more ways than one. Some examples of their hospitality: greeting us with hugs and well wishes; noticing I had a baby and giving me (and my two toddlers) gifts the next time they saw me; writing handwritten notes on our takeout when one of us is sick and can't make it in; giving the kids their own biscuits as soon as they sit down to help keep them busy; helping distract the kids if they are a little antsy or fussy; giving the kids candy on their way out the door. We chose the best place to become regulars and we cherish every Saturday morning we spend here! read more

We love having breakfast here on Saturdays!! It's become a weekly date for us. The whole gang is incredible, I feel as if they're family! The food is delish! I am one to order an omelette and it's always more than I can eat and cooked exactly the way I like it! Hubby loves the link sausage, he orders it every week. Give them a try! read more

You can't go wrong with a place like this. Extremely friendly staff , very welcoming ,comfortable ,nothing fancy, nothing Fufu -just great prices and good conversation ; not to mention excellent coffee! read more

Lovely breakfast at Pam's. Far from fancy but the service was attentive, the omelet was perfect and the price was just right. Ham and cheese, plenty of both, a big portion and served with tomatoes instead of fries because I'm doing a keto diet (no starches or carbs). Coffee was good and plentiful. Not much more to say here. It's value. [Review 11634 overall, 1415 of 2019.] read more
