    TWO EGG BREAKFAST with choosing chicken sausage, grits, and biscuit. (posted July 2026)
    Chip R.

    UPDATE: I had been here for Sunday brunch when it was called Verandah many years ago but recently had the chance to experience weekday breakfast at the now Peck & Plume inside The Mayton in downtown Cary. The aesthetic itself is still very nice inside, very sharply done with a combination of finished wood and modern looks with nice contrasts. Since it was very early, I had the indoor seating area to myself this day. I was started off quickly with coffee and water, with a breakfast menu to look over. There were many things that stood out on the menu that looked delicious but I went with their Two Eggs Breakfast selection that comes with choice of bacon, pork or chicken sausage (I chose the latter); choice of breakfast potatoes, fruit, or cheddar grits (again, went with the latter); and choice of white/wheat/sourdough toast or biscuit (again going with the latter). It was a bit of a wait for preparation/arrival of my meal but nothing extremely long. When it arrived, I was a bit surprised that the food presentation was a bit less than what I would expect from this type of restaurant (I did like the plate itself looking a bit "Seagrove pottery-esque" in appearance). However, the taste of the food was great and I enjoyed all my selections including my scrambled eggs. The grits were good and creamy, not thin, excellent consistency. If splitting hairs, I'd say the biscuit was just a little too browned for my taste but still, it was a good biscuit nonetheless here. My server was very nice and helpful throughout. I enjoyed my weekday breakfast visit here at Peck & Plume and would come back anytime in the future.

    Beet salad
    Melissa G.

    This place is so pretty! Such elegance and is large! They have a great bar area and make tasty cocktails. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. The beet salad was delicious, and the pork shoulder was good. The risotto had good flavor but was sticky. The huge disappointment was the filet. It was cooked correctly, but it did not have a filet texture or taste. Skip it if you go. The broccolini was cooked perfectly.

    four grilled shrimp

    I got an opportunity to return to Peck & Plume. Peck & Plume is located inside the Mayton Inn in Cary. There is no dedicated parking area, but I was able to find parking closeby. We were a large group and dined in the main dining area. We were all seated together. Brian was our server, and very attentive and stayed on top of things. He knew the menu well and offered suggestions for some in the group. It did get loud when the dining area was about half full. But I do love the restaurant's decor. I went with the local lettuces salad this time and added grilled shrimp. I expected more than four pieces of shrimp, though, for a $25 salad. I did enjoy both, but wouldn't spend that again, knowing what I'd be getting. The Benedict changes week to week, and that week's special didn't appeal to me but that is normally what I'd order for brunch. It is too bad they don't have the classic version on the menu alongside the special of the week. We were given separate checks, and my iced teas kept coming, so my glass never went empty. When it warms up, I might like to try dining on the terrace.

    Southern Benedict

    Always excellent service and delicious brunch. I've been here several times for brunch. It's my go to brunch spot to bring my family or out of town friends. Not only is it located in the beautiful Mayton Inn but also in the heart of downtown Cary. Always nice to stroll around downtown Cary to walk off the calories after a visit to Peck & Plume. At Peck & Plume you won't have any leftovers. You'll want to devour every bite right then and there. The brunch menu is constantly changing and it is never disappointing but I can say their eggs Benedict and shrimp & grits are musts. Great food, perfect location, nice ambience and impeccable service. What more could you ask for?

    The hub and I stopped in for a pre-dinner cocktail in the lounge. They were hosting live jazz, which was nice. No one camped to take our order, so we went to the bar. I can't comment on the food because we didn't order any, but the NA cocktails were delicious.

    Buttermilk pancakes with bacon
    Douglas K.

    Didn't know this was a hotel and it was a pleasant surprise. I am definitely gonna try and stay here one day on my next visit. The pancakes were amazing! And they do them right with whipped soft butter and warm maple syrup! Side order of bacon and coffee were great too! Shout out to the waiter who ran the whole room taking care of 6 tables at once and no one wanting for anything. He is a rock star and true professional.

    Huevos Rancheros
    Juliet H.

    First time visiting Peck & Plume for brunch and I STAN! Justin was a gracious host and server who offered great suggestions on the menu. Hubs and I settled on the Huevos Rancheros, bacon, eggs, and the French toast brick-- all fantastic! We also tried and loved the Mayton mimosa and the cold fashioned from the brunch cocktail menu. Superb! I had the distinct pleasure of meeting BOB, manager extraordinaire, who was effortlessly serving lewks, gorgeous hair, and grace while setting up for an event and floating through the dining room. I'm a huge fan! All in all, this experience was by far our favorite brunch in Cary thus far, and we'll be back real soon as there are at least 3 more brunch items on the menu that I need to try. Thanks for the great time & vibes-- Cheers!

    Burger & Fries  Spare Ribs and potatoes
    Nikki G.

    My mom chose this place to celebrate her birthday!! It's inside of the Mayton Hotel. Parking was kind of a hassle but once that was figured out we were good. AS SOON as you enter the front doors it smells AMAZING inside. We were seated fairly quickly and our waitress did an excellent job with recommendations. It appears the menu always changes. Starters: Wings(MUST TRY), Tuna Crudo(I enjoyed it) and the Pork & Pimento Cheese Fondue. I was excited to take the fondue home to have for the next day then we found a string of hair in the fondue, we informed our waitress and the manager came over and apologized and resolved the issue. Outside of that the starters were good. Entrees around the table: Ribeyes, Burgers, Spare Ribs and a Chicken Sandwich. No complaints with any of these. My son said he wished he had a bigger portion of the Spare Ribs. Desserts: Lemon Poundcake with strawberries and gelato(the cake was not moist at all, the strawberries and gelato were definitely the stars on the plate hands down. We also ordered the donuts and coffee, you get 3 small donuts(DELICIOUS) and chocolate gelato, I'm not really a chocolate person so that was just ok in my opinion. Overall everyone enjoyed themselves. I think next time we will come for brunch to see what that's like.

    Shrimp and Grits
    Jazmin R.

    This place was lovely! It's inside of a hotel space so you have to make sure you look for it but once you're inside, it's truly a well decorated piece of property! We sat in the "library" for a bit while the rest of our party arrived which was comfy. Once our entire party arrived, we were sat in the dining room which was very spacious. Our server was very friendly and speedy the entire meal. I got the shrimp and grits which were delicious. This bowl was huge and I ended up having leftovers to take back. I think my favorite bite was the grits, bacon jam, and egg - so good! Not pictured was my Pama Sour drink which was also tasty. Overall, a really cool place to check out!

    Avocado Toast
    Kim M.

    We wandered into Peck & Plume on a Sunday afternoon thinking we'd grab a quick lunch--plot twist: it was brunch-only. But hey, when life hands you brunch, you lean in. I ordered the Avocado Toast and was pleasantly surprised when the server mentioned they had gluten-free bread available (not listed on the menu--bonus points for that!). The avocado was sliced instead of the usual smashed mush, which actually made for a really fresh, clean bite. There were some big flakes of salt on top that added the perfect hit of flavor. I would've loved a little cheese crumble to round it out, but that's just my inner food diva talking. The real scene-stealer? The outdoor seating. 5 stars. Charming, relaxing, and perfectly placed in adorable Downtown Cary--ideal for soaking up some sunshine with your mimosa (or, in my case, espresso martini). Service was on point--friendly, quick, and helpful. Our food came out fast, and everyone seemed genuinely happy we were there, which always makes a difference. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I ask for cheese on my avo toast next time? Also yes.

    Catch of the day
    Abby T.

    This is my husband and I go to date night restaurant. You can't go wrong with any food choice. I normally like to get a protein, but I decided to go with the carrot top gnudi. It was so good. There were so many flavors in the dish. It was almost like a curry. My husband got the catch of the day. Our appetizers were delicious. The cornbread with the honey butter is to die for. Our waitress was amazing.

    Apple dessert
    Ryan C.

    Went to Peck & Plume for the first time with 7 people. The restaurant was very nice inside and was fitting for a nice dinner. The service was very good and they were on top of making sure our drinks were filled. I got the NY strip and it was good the only thing I wish is that it came with mashed potatoes. A few others that were with me had the short rib and well they said it was good it didn't just fall apart like others. It was a little tougher but flavor was there.

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!

I went savory: a chicken salad croissant (flaky, generously filled, with a side of bow-tie pasta salad and a creamy poppyseed slaw) and a pressed caprese-style panini with tomato, mozzarella, and basil grilled to a deep golden crisp. Both solid, satisfying lunches. On the drinks, the cold brew made with Joe Van Gogh beans was great--smooth and well-balanced. The iced café au lait was acceptable, nothing memorable but it did the job. The bakery case alone is worth a stop: cannoli, cranberry almond muffins, strawberry streusel coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, brownies, and a rack of croissants. Friendly counter service and a comfortable spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or lingering with a coffee. Worth a return visit. Prices are very reasonable.

They helped me navigate my coffee order and executed it to perfection. They also answered all of my gluten free questions and took extra precautions for my allergy.

You can get a punch card for every coffee and get one free on your tenth purchase. They have a great pastry selection. I got an almond croissant to go for my mom on a recommendation from a friend that said it's a can't miss! (I can't try it due to my allergy but it looks amazing) The ambiance has a cute cafe with plenty of seating.

    Ich liebe Annelores deutsche Bäckerei!…read more I first got goodies from Annelore's booth at the State Farmer's Market in Raleigh. The Apfel (apple) turnover was delicious, as was the Heidelbeerkuchen (blueberry cake) and Zitronenschnitten (lemon bar). I saw a nice gentlemen there that day who I think may be part owner; based on what I see on their website I wonder if it was Herr Norbert. While waiting for another guy behind the counter to bag my goodies, I happened to mention (to who I think was Norbert) that I'm learning German, and he spoke some basic German to me! Which I understood - OMG, must tell my German teacher. A couple weeks later I needed to bring desserts to our monthly Book Club meeting, and Annelore's was my first thought. I decided to visit their actual store in Cary. Even though it's an hour away from home, I stopped by one day when I had to go to Raleigh for an appointment. An Annelore's employee helped me with selecting about six cake slices and 2-3 different bars, plus some German cookies. The inside of the store is very clean, and there are some places to sit if you'd like to eat there. The employees were kind and helpful (and patient, in my case, trying to decide what to buy for a Book Club group I'd never met in person). Annelore's German Bakery is a wonderful way to take care of your dessert needs and support a local business at the same time. If you need a dessert, cake, scones, or other treats for your home gathering, BBQ, church social, potluck, business lunch, or other event, I would definitely let Annelore's take care of that part for you! 10/10, highly recommend!

Delicious! My kids really liked it as well. Overall, I will definitely come back!
