    Eggs Benedict with hash browns
    Rebecca M.

    White Story Cafe is located in Downtown Wake Forest. It is located in the historic Wilkerson Building. The renovated building still has the cozy atmosphere and even some historic photos on the walls. Parking is on the street or in a nearby parking lot. White Story Cafe shares the dining area with the Burger Shop. I had not heard about this cafe opening but I happened to read a post on Nextdoor so decided to go check it out as I am always looking for new places to explore. I was immediately greeted when I entered the cafe. They have the menu on the wall behind the counter and actual menus too. They offer breakfast, sandwiches, salads, soups, desserts, coffee and tea. The menu had some photos and my eyes went to the Eggs Benedict so that is what I ordered, which I tend to order often. It came with a choice of Canadian bacon or ham. Then it came with a side of fruit, hashbrowns, grits, or salad. Somehow, I ended up with fruit and hashbrowns. I also ordered a Thai sweet tea. After you order at the counter, you are given a number and a tray. My Thai sweet tea was a little too sweet for me so I will try something else next time. The Eggs Benedict was great though. The eggs were cooked a little longer than I'd like as I prefer runny yolks with the Eggs Benedict. The English muffins were huge, the Canadian bacon generous. The hollandaise sauce was lighter than I had had in the past but still delicious. The cup of fruit was huge. The hash browns were diced. The staff was gracious and kept making sure I had everything I needed. They even brought out all sorts of condiments someone might want. I was looking forward to my next visit before I left and even checked out the menu so maybe I will order something else next time. However, that is hard for me when I find a dish I enjoy.

    I love this place. Great food! Great staff! Fabulous menu! Healthy drinks!! White Story also does catering !! Recently, my father passed and we wanted to have it catered at Bright Funeral Home. It was close to the holidays. Cherry and Apple , White Street Owners, were very supportive. She supplied an amazing food station with sandwiches, fruit , desserts. She also had a drink station with delicious coffee, tea, cocoa and juice. Our guests raved about it. Very professional!! White Story went the extra mile for us and will for you too!!

    The service was great, friendly staff, fast service! It was very busy! Clean restaurant! I got the classic French toast which did not disappoint! It was cooked perfectly and enough to share! Breakfast is served all day!

    Turkey veggie omelet with hash browns and toast
    Renardo R.

    The service was great!!! The food was delicious..the grits were so creamy.. We both got omelets; meat lovers with a side of bacon and turkey omelets with grits. Atmosphere was amazing.

    Cheesy grits

    Came here tonight for the first time and glad I did! I ordered the eggs Benedict with the turkey. Next time I'll try the Canadian bacon. It was just ok- but might be better with the bacon. THE GRITS HOWEVER OMG. Get them with cheese on top. Creamiest best grits I have had at a restaurant in a verrrrry long time. I'll be coming back even if it's just to get the grits.

    Turkey brie Sandwich

    What a great surprise! I truly loved visiting this café! We had two sandwiches: turkey pesto and turkey brie! It's hard to say which one was the best one! Both were delicious.

    Great breakfast dishes, especially the waffles, egg and bacon or sausage combinations. The lunch menu is equally as good.

Tonight, I was craving some food truck takeout and checked out Deep Rivers lineup then scoured Stavis menu and I was sold! We ordered the GI Joe sandwich on Texas toast, GI Joe fries (they come with this stellar Chipotle ranch...yumm!) We also grab a side of pasta salad and the Greek freak sandwich on Texas toast. I knew it would be good, and definitely after tasting everything, I knew we made a solid choice! We only had to wait 7-10 min and our food was ready! I was so impressed and I know we'll definitely be eating from their truck again soon!

Husband's sandwich smelled and looked wonderful. It was large and he said it tasted great and that it had "good quality meat". Meanwhile, for just a dollar less my salad was a big disappointment, but that's really my fault because it was just what the menu said it would be...lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber and cheese with a Greek dressing. Yawn. Fortunately I had some kalamata olives and pepperoni at home to doctor it up. Would have loved to try the crab bisque others have raved about, but tonight's soup was chicken gnocchi, which didn't call out to me. Next time I would definitely skip the salad and stick with what they are named for...their sandwiches!

The two of us eat at Over the Falls regularly and always enjoy it. I'm honestly surprised I hadn't written a review before. Lunch for two came to $65.80 + tax and tip, and there was more than enough food. I ordered one of my two favorites: the Ahi Tuna Pita (the other favorite is the blue cheese burger). I paired it with a side salad and blue cheese dressing, plus an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. My wife ordered The Barrel, their Philly cheesesteak, with a side of sweet potato fries. We also shared an order of house-made potato skins. It was far too much food, in a good way, and we took plenty home. Service was outstanding and truly a team effort. One moment stood out: when my wife hesitated to ask for sour cream for the potato skins, our server immediately said, "It's just 15 steps, let me get it for you." That small gesture made a big difference. The rest of the team was equally warm, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance works perfectly for us, lively, busy, and welcoming without feeling chaotic. I would be confident ordering virtually anything from the menu. We'll keep coming back.

This no-frills bar is perfect for those that just want to hang out and eat good food. I haven't been to a low-key bar like this before and I loved it. Everyone knows each other and they're all just out for a nice time out. It is an older group, definitely a local's place. There's one pool table that's coin operated if you want to play a round. They also offer karaoke if you're brave enough. Our waiter was awesome, super easy going and nice. Not to mention, he brought me a second tea before I was halfway done with my other one! That right there is an immediate extra star on my review. We all ordered hamburgers. I had the candied bacon and jalapeño cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. It was delicious! I can't believe I've been in WF for almost 3 years and have never tried Mackey's but I will definitely be back. If you want a good dinner with a relaxed atmosphere, Mackey's is a great choice. Support local!
