Me and my wife enjoyed the food Service was a little slow but polite Great menu selection read more

Me and my hubby went to this place this morning 2/23/20..Our first time here so delicious everything I had on my plate was very good except the pancakes must leave that up to IHOP and Cracker Barrel..lol read more

The food was not good. My family and I went for breakfast and my pancakes were flavorless (that was with added blueberries). Also, my hash browns were greasy. I did not enjoy my meal. This is my first time trying them. They had very good customer service but the food needs some help. read more

I love the family feel of the Spring Cafe. This will truly be our "go-to" spot for cheap breakfast and lunch cravings living in North Raleigh. If you are a prude, this isn't the spot for you. I find charm in the old decor, elderly crowd, plastic-covered tables, and generations of family working together. I had a BLT and hash browns. While a simple dish, very well done, and literally crave-able. The prices are good, the food is tasty, and you just "feel good" being there. What more could you ask for? read more

Fabulous! I'm from NJ and we take our diners...and breakfast...very seriously. I'm happy to report the food was diner-licious. Home fries cooked to perfection, great coffee with refills almost immediately and southern biscuits I'd travel into N. Raleigh to order again. The staff was very welcoming and service was quick. My boys (5&3) were treated very nicely and their kids menu was great and very reasonably price. Really, the whole menu was reasonably priced! I will add it to my growing list of quaint Jersey-style diner hot spots I've stumbled across in my new state of NC. read more

We had a coupon for this place, so we decided to try it. It looked a little divey/dinerish, we'd eaten at similar type places before, up north, so we didn't mind. We walked in were politely told to seat ourselves, there was luckily ONE booth open, the place was pretty packed. We were given an old high chair with a broken buckle for our 9 month old, again not a huge deal. once we sat down, we noticed the drink refill station was right out in the open, meh, so it's not the fanciest place, we still were fine with it. There's not a huge selection on the menu, so I opted for breakfast (an omelette, hash browns and toast) and my husband got a Ruben sandwich with fries. Our food came out and the omelette was good, the eggs were a bit thin, the ham overpowered the omelette but it wasn't bad, though I didn't care for the sliced cheese triangles melted on top. The home fries seemed to be a baked potato smashed up into pieces and then friend a little again? They were ok, a bit bland, I had to add a lot of salt, and ketchup. My husband's fries seemed very similar to the frozen crinkle cut ones we buy from Kroger. His sandwich was ok. The waitress was friendly, and didn't take too much time between refills, but we noticed after she took my husband's cup for a refill, that the fountain machine they have there in plain sight, must have been broken. The wait staff was literally pouring cans of coke, diet coke, and sprite into cups full of ice. My husband and I love fountain soda, it's one of the things we look forward to when we go out to eat, so this was a bit disappointing, if we wanted cans of soda, we would have bought a 12 pack of them at the grocery store. As I was waiting for my husband to pay, I noticed they had huge bottles of Great Value (Walmart brand) apple juice under the counter. This was all in plain sight at the drink refill station. All in all, the food was mediocre, the place was shabby, and it all seemed like food that could just as easily be made at home (walmart brands and all). We likely will never go there again. On the other hand, the place, like I said was PACKED when we first got there, so they must be doing something right, it just wasn't for us. read more

First time eating here food is super good. Not bad prices, I even got my food Togo and by the time I got home it's still fresh and hot. Amazing clubs and fries, all food I ordered is super good. I'll be back read more

Just my opinion the food is awesome. It is a home cooked meal. I'm tired of burgers & fries read more

Spring Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

a disappointment for me. Quick service but the food was just fair. I was initially hoping for a good casual breakfast spot with southern basics like good grits and eggs and such. Unfortunately the grits were watery and flavorless and came in a tiny bowl. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich Had a lot of bacon but little egg and on dry toast. Nothing special. I would not go Back. read more

Soooo, i have fallen inlove with The Spring Cafe. The food is awesome, the customer service is great. I had just moved to North Raleigh, and didnt really know much about this side of town, so i used Yelp. I searched nearby resturants and there it was at the top of the list. I read the reviews and noticed that it was only 2 minutes from my house. I drove up spring forest rd., and there it was. located in a shopping center ( there is always plenty of parking ) i found a spot right up front and walked in. Upon arrival i was greeted by the hostess who asked if i was dining in. I told her that i was placing a togo order. The hostess passed me a menu and i browsed and decided on 2 entrees. Corn beef hash with grits, scrambled eggs, and biscut. Along with a sausage and egg burrito. I placed my order and was told that it would be ready in 15 minutes, so i grabbed a seat. The place is a decent size, cozy, and tidy. My order was ready! I odered the sausage and egg burrito, which was huge. It was delicious plain and simple. My other order which was a cornbeef hash: I personaly didn't get to try it, but i was told it was great. read more

It seems as many of the reviews on this family established diner are hit or miss. First off, I'd like to say that I've been here multiple times. Almost monthly at this point. It all started with a manager I used to work with bringing me grits, my favorite breakfast food. Since then, I've been hooked. The food has always been awesome! Secondly, I've never received poor service from anyone there. If anything, you can tell everyone ones together to ensure their guests have a good experience. Thirdly, the decor- remember, this is an old diner, family owned and operated for many years. It's comfortable. It reminds me of little diners on the back roads in the outskirts of town. Sometimes, when you like in a larger city such as Raleigh, you need to feel a little country in your life! Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good, wholesome place to grab a bite to eat in a very laid back setting. read more

Loved the breakfast experience here! I am from PA and miss my smattering of diners around the area, but Spring Cafe brought back those warm memories. Great service, delicious food. The booths are threadbare, and the walls and ceiling could use a cleaning, so if fine dining is more your forte, I'd recommend you nosh elsewhere. Their grilled biscuits were AMAZING and I loved their spiced apples. The waitress said they are homemade. The western omelet was huge; I wound up taking half of it home as it came with the grilled biscuit and spiced apples mentioned above. I will definitely be back! read more

Spring Cafe - The huge western omelet and delicious spiced apples. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Came here for lunch and was not disappointed! Nice little establishment, clean and the people were very friendly. Ended up having the home fries and a ham and cheese omelet! I have to say that I was blown away! Eggs were perfectly done, not too runny and ham tasted fresh! Solid proportions and was reasonably priced. Fries were crisp, fresh and hot! Do me a favor, visit this cafe, enjoy a little slice of heaven and thank me later! read more

I have absolutely no idea how this place is rated so highly. My fiancé loves breakfast food and was craving something while we were out running weekend errands. Consults Yelp: "Spring Cafe has some pretty good reviews; let's check them out". Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy some diner food as well as the experience a diner can provide. But my goodness this place was just...blah. My cheese "omelette" was a mediocre batch of eggs with slightly melted cheese on top - seriously, I could still make out each triangle. I'm a potato freak and the home fries left much to be desired. Fiancé said biscuits and gravy weren't half bad, and the only redeeming quality to this meal for me was my plain biscuit on the side. Side thought here, but the entire experience reminded me of the movie Elf - while Spring Cafe doesn't necessarily claim "World's Best Cup of Coffee", I felt just like Jovie - "it tastes like a cup of crappy coffee." read more

This place is over priced for breakfast. Plus the service is not good. If you want a real country breakfast at a great price to Watkins Grill. They have been here since the 50's. Their lunches are awesome too. read more

The food was ok but i would still come eat here cuz its a change from the normal chain breakfast restaurants, i wasnt a fan of the pancakes because they used sourdough but my frenchtoast was good, my wife didn't like her cheeseeggs they use basic cheese and u can tell read more

I'm in love! This place reminds me of diners when I was a kid. I can't believe I've lived here for 9 yrs and haven't discovered it until today. We had the patty melt and the club and both were outstanding. I am talking perfection here. The way they should be made. Cannot wait to come back especially to try the breakfasts... I hear the home fries are to die for. read more

It comes across as a simple and clean brunch place with a cordial and warm staff. The service was a tad bit slow given the hour of the day and crowd in there but the food was really nice. We ordered the HungryMan omelet minus the bacon and Tenderloin Sandwich. Both of them were well made, cooked just right and tasty. The cheese slice arrangement in the omelet tickled us, it was neat Coffee was freshly brewed. We chose the biscuits and home fries, both of which was not too fried and I would not miss out on them... we will surely go back to the place if we are close by looking for a breakfast. read more

My wife and I love going to Spring Cafe for a late Saturday or Sunday morning "brunch". We both get the House Breakfast. Mine with country sausage, and my wife's with bacon. Both with fried eggs and DELICIOUS country style hash brown potatoes with onions. The big teas and refillable coffee are a must too! To me, it like eating at Mama's house! read more

Eat here everyday literally! Great food, great service love it here!A1 guess I'll be having a lot more people swing by here. This place is so underrated. read more

We get this delivered via Grub Hub. This is probably the best-delivered meal that we get. I have so far had the country fries steak and Turkey and Dressing Lunch. They have a lot of food which is seasoned like Mom would do. There is also a lot of food for the money. My co-worker is eating the Spaghetti and is commenting that it tastes just like his Mom's. Highly recommended. read more

Definitely a small café with locals. Staff was friendly and knew their menu. The food came out and it was pretty good. We had a club sandwich and tuna plate. The décor could use a sprucing up, but overall was ok. read more

My husband's favorite place. Especially for breakfast. Lunch specials daily. Good burgers and sandwiches as well. Service can be slow - but always polite. read more

This is a great place if you like eating at a old folks home the food was nothing special if anything it is a little less than nothing special at all. It reminds me of something you would get out the freezer section of the Food Lion so if you don't mind paying 10.25 for frozen under seasoned food then this is the place for you! read more

Personal experience this is a horrible place to eat food! the establishment is old dirty grungy and to top with my experience of horrible customer service! read more

I love this place!! People are really nice and the food is grate!! And the coffee is really nice!! 10/10 :)

This place is small , crowded and has barely anywhere to sit , the food is alright it's a hit or miss but the service is TERRIBLY slow ! Expect at most one refill here most of the girls working here are so busy on their phones at the tables near the restroom they don't even bother checking if your food came out ok or if your in need of anything else , I've been twice to give it a second chance and nothing changes , good luck to the owner ! I don't see it lasting with a staff like that read more

My wife and I are from the country side area of the mid western united states and let me tell you when we ate here we had a blast from the past back to our childhood. Absolutely stellar food. It taste like a down home cooked meal. The decor is dated I will admit that but you are there to eat not for a fashion contest. The prices are great for the amount of food you get and great service. read more

The best word I can use to describe the breakfast food is bland. We ordered French toast (too eggy), bacon (flavorless), breakfast potatoes (would have been great if they had been salted during cooking), cordon bleu French toast (flavorless including the ham, which looked good), grits (ok), and 2 eggs over medium and cooked perfectly. Coffee tasted like a very cheap product. I don't mean to be so harsh, but we will never go back here. I don't know how it has 4.5 stars. Maybe we went on an off day for the cook. read more

My husband and I drive by this place every morning. We decided to give it a try on a Sunday. The Staff were extremely generous and energetic from very early in the morning. I ordered home fries with eggs and bacon (very simple, I know) but the food was quite marvelous. My husband ordered the vegetarian omelette and said he enjoyed every bite. I definitely recommend this place, I loved the environment, Prices are reasonable and the food arrived perfectly on time, as it was quite packed during this time (8am). We will be back! read more

Holy Smokes......I love breakfast! The Lady and I have a weekly ritual of going out for breakfast on Sunday mornings. We usually pick among several upper end breakfast spots. Along comes Spring Café; a family owned hole in the wall on Spring Forest Road. I like Spring Café. I've never had a bad meal. I can't get fried biscuits like Big Ed's North or omelettes like Briggs, but you can get a solid breakfast for nearly half the price of its classier competitors. I'm not a fan of that awful orange/yellow paint and the tables don't lend themselves to intimate conversation but the waitstaff is friendly and accommodating, the food is a little bland but that's why God made salt and pepper and it's easy on the wallet. All in All? Yeah, sign me up ! read more

Love the Spring Cafe with it's homey hometown cafe feel with great food! 7.99 specials daily that includes meat, two veggies, bread and beverage. Best Salmon Cakes in Raleigh on Friday, great spaghetti as a special in Wednesday, and Monday's baked chicken on Monday's rivals Cracker Barrel. Friendly attentive staff! PS: Breakfast all day! read more

Hmm...not sure how this place got great reviews. It's a hole in the wall in a strip mall off Capital Blvd. The decor is definitely no frills--but that can be charming if the food is good. It is privately owned by a family, and that makes you want to go. But the food is average and it's a bit dirty. We were given a maple syrup bottle that had all butter all over it. I ordered a BLT with two specks of really dried bacon on it. Almost inedible. The biscuits are good here--that's why I'm giving two stars. read more

My husband and I love Spring Cafe! Always great food and great service. We love the House Breakfast. I get it with bacon and rye toast. My husband gets the same but with country sausage... his favorite! I'd like to recognize Andrea (waitress), Mr. Rick (owner) and Ms. Joyce (cashier) for their gracious hospitality. read more

A great place for breakfast. The chipped beef over a biscuit takes me back to my childhood. The staff is friendly and service-oriented. I'm a regular now! read more

I'd been looking for a local, down home, friendly breakfast place since moving here. The spring cafe fits the bill perfectly! Gotta love a place with regulars! read more

This has become my to-do Sunday breakfast place. I love coming here! It may not be the absolute best food, but it's incredibly consistent and it's all very tasty. Highly recomend the spiced apples! read more

35 minute wait. Service was great. Fans were dirty. Old decor, 1980's tables. My girlfriend's ham was super salty. They were out of biscuits. On another note the cream chipped beef and sweet tea were fantastic! read more

I was quit pleased with my breakfast experience, it was my first time going with my gf food portions were just right, good coffee, quaint we will be back :) read more

Best place to eat! Their french toasts are phenomenal as well as their home fries !! I discovered this place last year and I became obsessed. It has become my part of my Sunday morning routine. I truly recommend it; even more now that they're thinking of adding more to the menu. I cannot wait ! read more
