    Smoked Salmon Scramble was delicious!
    Jill C.

    Dined here this past Sunday with my mom for brunch. There was about a 15 minute wait to be seated which wasn't bad considering the amount of people waiting for a table. We were seated and given menus then didn't see our server until 15 minutes later. We ordered a salmon scramble and some pancakes. The scramble was delicious with the dill cream cheese perfectly complimenting the salty salmon. The home fries that came with it weren't the best. They weren't crispy at all which was a disappointment. My mom enjoyed her pancakes. The problem with the meal is that the service was so slow. We were there for about an hour and a half just waiting on our server and food and then the check. Our server must have left because the sweet lady that was tending bar came out from behind the bar to come give us our check and refill our drinks. Although the food was decent I don't think I'd return.

    Decent breakfast stop. Staff was fine, bit of a wait but to be expected on a Saturday. Received text when our table was ready. Biscuits were tasty, came with cranberry apple butter. Ordered Nashville hot chicken wrap (spicy hit well done(. Truffle fries were excellent. Chicken & waffles were dry. Pancake tacos also dry. Butter didn't come with anything, didn't bother asking but was expecting some. Only 1 functional bathroom for the restaurant, long lines.

    great spot for a casual brunch. I like this place a lot - service is always quick, food is delicious. I will say, if you are looking for a healthy breakfast this may not be the pick, but if you're looking for comfort food look no further!

    This restaurant was sooo busy on a Sunday just before noon. They were on an hour wait! The bar and high tops are first come, first serve and I was able to snag a high top. Most of the staff seemed very stressed with how busy it was, but service was still good. They had $5 mimosas - yum! I had the Southern Style Benedict with potatoes (you can sub potatoes for the grits) - it was a very large portion.

    I'm a Southern girl who hates grits...unless they're from Flying Biscuit. This is the only place I will eat grits because they are actually creamy and flavorful. I was shocked to be seated so quickly on a nice Saturday morning at peak time. And, we were seated in a cozy semi private area with just three high top tables. Win! The food at a Flying Biscuit is always consistent and this location lived up to the reputation. My peach mimosa was so flavorful! Yeah, I'm mentioning a drink before food. The appetizer is a biscuit with apple butter. I don't care if you're counting calories or cutting carbs, you have to have a biscuit! These biscuits are the most fluffy you will have next to those at grandma's house. I had the eggs (scrambled) with chicken sage sausage and of course, grits. I cleaned my plate because everything on it was delicious. Definitely give this spot a try!

    Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast
    Thomas D.

    Something to know about me before you read my review. I am a huge breakfast head. I LOVE breakfast. A weekend morning run followed by a larger breakfast is probably the happiest that I get. And the breakfast here.... It's good. I'll start with the food. We were served a complimentary biscuit with their cranberry apple butter, which was a great start. It's tender and buttery and soft. Top notch. I ordered the stuffed French toast because the strawberry cheesecake version sounded really unique. It was tasty! I really enjoyed it. I also got the potatoes on the side and they were better than I expected. I usually prefer crispy hash browns. These potatoes were of the small, diced potatoes variety, but they were still good because they were cooked well and nicely seasoned. The ambiance and service of the restaurant are the only reason I don't give 5 stars. The service was not the most attentive I have had. And we were at a tiny table that was somewhat awkward and barely able to hold our dishes. I had to stack their coffee toppings bowls just to make it more comfortable. That all said, it's good! Don't lose sight of that. The food is worth it! And there are some unique dishes on the menu worth going back for. I look forward to my next trip!

    Avocado Toast Breakfast
    Molly M.

    We had a great brunch here! The pineapple salsa on the avocado toast added a refreshing flavor to it. The free biscuits are absolutely perfect and heavenly. Everyone in my group loved their food and special drinks like pancake tacos, stuffed French toast, banana matcha, chicken n waffles, and cold brew. The waitress was sweet and helpful and even on a Sunday morning they got us a table inside right away.

    A bowl of chicken biscuits and gravy all in one!
    Toshi I.

    I ordered the Chicken bisquits with gravy. Super rich and savory. The Hubs ordered the Waffles with grits, eggs, sausage and fruit. Both breakfast entrees enough for two. The biscuits with apple butter are so delish. I love the area and the artwork on the walls here. Service was a little slow but I didn't expect the food to come out quickly.

    Vegan Tofu Wrap
    El H.

    I really enjoyed my vegan tofu wrap, and appreciated that I was able to substitute the free biscuit for toast and the sweet potato fries for potatoes. The potatoes were a little too salty, but the spice blend and texture was very good overall. I really enjoyed my meal, and was grateful that there were three types of hot sauce at the table. Kylie and the server and training were very nice and helpful, and it's a super cute little restaurant.

    Fantastic breakfast spot! The food was fresh and flavorful! The dishes we tried were delicious. They served fresh biscuits out first before the meal and yum, easily broke apart! Chicken & waffles here is a must! Portion sizes were perfect. The service was just as impressive. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. Definitely a place we would come back to for breakfast when we visit Raleigh!

    We came by while in the area on a Sunday morning. We Had a Dirty Bird, waffle with chicken, egg and sausage gravy and Avacado toast along with coffee and decaf. We did not wait long for breakfast, they serve you a biscuit and Applebutter while you wait. The biscuits are very good. The Avacodo toast is one slice with chopped tomatoes and onion and balsamic glaze, I had them leave off salt and red pepper flakes. It was very good. The Dirty bird was also good with the waffle being great, light and fluffy. The restaurant is not large but very comfortable for a nice breakfast.

    the flying biscuit is a staple and always gets brought up for brunch. i always try to give it another chance but am always disappointed. the food is always aesthetically pleasing but very bland. it is always packed to the brim with a very long wait. the staff is friendly enough, but i don't think it's worth it.

    Ask the Community - The Flying Biscuit Cafe

    Where can we make a reservation? Or is it walk-ins only?

    They at times make reservations the day of if you are able to reach then by phone or stop in prior to you wanting to visit.

    Do they make reservations or can call early?

    You can do both

    What bread is vegan? Are any pancakes vegan? Would it be possible to order a bowl with potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, avocado and vegan cheese? If so how would I order that

    Good morning, I do not know what breads are vegan, however they do have began pancakes. As for the menu you can substitute pretty much anything to your liking, I hope this was helpful.

    Any vegan options?

    Yes, absolutely. While it might not look like it at first glance, we will substitute tofu for any protein at no extra charge, we have vegan mozzarella, beyond burgers, and beyond sausage. So, long story short, we can manipulate a lot of our menu… 

    Do they have a private dining area?

    Near the front is a semi private area but I don't know if it can be reserved. It's right in front of the bar area.

    Are there any gluten free items?

    Yes, most of our menu is naturally gluten free and everything is labeled on our menu.

    Do they serve mimosas al day on saturdays?

    No.

    Do they still serve the fried pimento cheese balls? I no longer see them on the online menu.

    We absolutely do! They're our favorite.

    Tupelo Honey -- A Different Experience This Time…read more We decided to revisit Tupelo Honey during our trip through North Carolina because we had such a great experience the first time we visited. Our first visit was for breakfast/brunch, and we really enjoyed it, so this time we decided to stop in for a late lunch. We originally came looking for chicken wings, but we were told they had recently changed the menu and no longer offered them. So, we decided to try some other things. We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were served over polenta with a reddish sauce drizzled around them. The tomatoes were fried nice and firm--they didn't fall apart and held their texture well. I enjoyed the appetizer. For our entrees, we tried several things: bourbon meatloaf, breakfast potatoes, fried chicken, fried okra, roasted Brussels sprouts, and grilled harvest chicken. The food portions were generous, and everything was well seasoned. However, this meal was more of a "just okay" experience for us. The bourbon meatloaf was okay, although you definitely have to be in the mood for meatloaf. The breakfast potatoes, fried okra, Brussels sprouts, mac and cheese, green beans, and grilled harvest chicken were all decent but didn't really stand out. The fried chicken was very well seasoned--perhaps a little too well seasoned for my taste, as it leaned toward salty. Our drinks were good, and I still enjoyed the atmosphere. Our waitress was also friendly and attentive, which helped make the experience pleasant. Overall, this visit didn't quite live up to our first experience. My husband was especially disappointed. That said, I wouldn't completely rule Tupelo Honey out. Sometimes a restaurant has an off day, and I'd be willing to give it another try--especially since we enjoyed our first visit so much.

Honestly, I would have gotten something different if I knew it was not really shakshouka. Service was good and they checked on us a few times to make sure everything was good.

They were good enough that I decided I needed to visit the bakery myself. The shop did not disappoint. I ordered a decaf Americano and took my time looking around. For the road, I picked up a half loaf sesame pan, butter, and goat cheese--a simple combination, but one that seemed like the perfect way to appreciate the quality of the baking. What struck me most is the attention to ingredients and technique. Boulted mills its own flour, works with organic and heirloom grains, and relies heavily on natural fermentation. The breads are baked with a beautifully dark, deeply caramelized crust that delivers considerably more flavor than the pale, overly uniform loaves found at many bakeries. Something is reassuring about a bakery that doesn't try to overcomplicate things. Great flour, careful fermentation, skilled hands, and a hot oven. The results speak for themselves. I was impressed by Boulted Bakery. The quality is top shelf, and the pastries that first introduced me to the place were no fluke. This is clearly a serious bakery, and well worth a visit.
