I don't care how many times I've eaten here, the food is always delicious and the employees are so friendly and kind! Whether it's breakfast or lunch, I always find something I like and with the prices these days, William's manages to keep the cost within reason. Now that's a feat!! Some favorites are the breakfast burrito, waffles, their soups and sides like the potato salad and pasta salad, and just about any sandwich or burger on the menu. You really can't go wrong here! Don't forget to look at the art on the walls. Some of them with the play on food with little figurines are really fun. read more

Had a nice lunch here with my daughter. Service was great - the servers here are really nice folks. Food was fresh. A little disappointed that the sweet potato fries weren't hot. Loved the cinnamon butter it came with but it needed to also be warmed up a bit because you couldn't so the fries in it. Wish they had a microwave available - maybe next to the drink station (similar to a Panera Bread set up). Then I could have warmed up my fries and cinnamon butter. I know the servers would probably been happy to do that, but it takes a little more effort to have to ask them. Overall, a great experience and we'd be back. read more

I was there for the first time a couple of weeks ago period they had a pastrami sandwich on special fir $11.99. I felt cheated because there wasn't nearly the amount of meat that I get at any other deli that I go to. the sandwich was delicious but they were stingy with the pastrami. The onion rings are horrible. They were super hot because they had just been fried, but there was no crisp to be found anywhere on them. I bit into one and all I tasted was bland oil... No onion flavor whatsoever. I couldn't even finish one small onion ring. I'll never eat the onion rings again. It's a popular place and the service is super friendly comma but I really do feel cheated for that first visit. read more

This a strange 3rd party fast food restaurant that costs 3x as much as the rest. It wasn't very busy but there were a few people in there when I was in the late afternoon. I got an okay sandwich and onion rings, but twenty dollars? Get outta town. read more

The breakfast burrito was delish. Customer service, top notch! Longer hours of service would be great

Food is average for the price paid 22$ for a burger with onion rings. They charged me 6$ to add lettuce tomato onion pickle to the bacon lovers burger. When the bacon burger has it included on it for 6$. read more

The rain and cold helped locate a place with a sandwich and soup. This place hit the spot. Lunch was good! Turkey n swiss on rosemary focaccia bread was delicious. They added just the right amount of mayo with lettuce and tomato. I got the meal with sweet pot fries, this even came with a little side of a cinnamon spread. I didn't wait long and everything was good. read more

I wouldn't call it "gourmet" - it's a regular diner - but this place is great! The food was good and the ambience is okay, but what stood out was the good value and the incredible service. You can tell that these are good local people who deserve your business. And they make good food for a good price! What more could you want? read more

Absolutely love it! Been going for years and I will always recommend Williams for a good breakfast and lunch, their weekly specials are back too so there is something interesting every week! Highly highly recommend, great food, great service, good atmosphere! read more

Today I ordered to go for the first time- and their drive up window is extremely convenient. I ordered the Bacon lovers burger and was happy enough with the burger but disappointed that lettuce, tomato, onion, and other condiments cost extra for an already $9 burger. I also got a strawberry salad with a scoop of chicken salad for my dinner. The chicken salad was a generous portion and the salad was fresh and delicious. I'm giving them 4 because of the up charge on extras that even McDonalds puts on their burgers-- but not lower because inside the atmosphere is always pleasant and clean. read more

I came here to meet my coworkers. The location is in RTP, so it's easily accessible to all especially in the middle of a busy work day. The menu has a variety of options to make everyone happy - waffles, eggs, salads, burgers, sandwiches and chicken gyros. The food is ok. Not bad, but not great. Plenty of room to accommodate a lot of people and good outdoor seating for a nice day. I wouldn't come here on my own, but it's location and diverse menu make it a good option for group meet-ups. read more

"Tasty, large-portion breakfasts near 54-55 corner in Durham" I came here on a weekday morning with a friend. It's May 2021, so "late COVID times"-- the restaurant did still require masks indoors based on the sign, and the staff and (few present) customers were compliant. One goes to the counter to order and then can sit. They have multiple outdoor tables, which was nice especially in the good weather. Both my friend and I ordered the spinach omelette. It came with a cup of fruit and some toast. I'm pleased to report the dish was EXCELLENT. The omelette was large, and spinach tasted fresh. The cup of fruit included hearty wedges of pineapple, cantaloupe, etc., as well as grapes-- clearly something they prepared and beyond the typical. I was also quite pleased with the service-- they were kind, speedy, and responsive. Even though we sat outside and it was counter service, they brought us the food, and even came back to check on us later and clear our table. Setting was great-- it's a spacious bright interior, and multiple small outdoor tables. Lots of easy parking, too. I recommend-- would happily come back if in this part of town! read more

I really enjoyed my lunch at William's and look forward to returning to try more items. I had the chipotle chicken panini, and the chicken had a nice chargrilled flavor and the fries were really tasty. My husband enjoyed his club sandwich as well. The portions are large, such that I easily could have split a sandwich with my husband. I also appreciate that they serve Cheerwine. The only negatives was that it took a long time for our order to be prepared, and while I noticed the employees being friendly to some of the customers, they weren't particularly warm to us. They had a couple of people working in the kitchen, which is visible from the dining room, and a couple of other employees behind the counter but none of them seemed to be moving with any sort of speed. So, a good place for a casual, not-so-quick bite! read more

Highly recommend William's. Don't knock it until you try it. Speaking as someone who stops here for lunch on the regular and has tried several things from the menu, let me save you some time: you want to order the chipotle burger. Best thing on the menu, hands down. With a side of those crispy, delicious fries you're good to go! Also, the service is great and the staff are very friendly. read more

CALL YOUR ORDER IN!! 5stars for the food is amazing. 4stars overall because the time it takes to receive the food is always slow. The foods amazing but again the time it takes to prepare the food stinks. I only get 30 minutes for lunch. On average I wait 12 minutes for my food. That's not good when I only have 30 minutes. With the amount of cooks back there cooking it shouldn't take that long. Again the food is so good just slow cooking times. Call your order in if you can. That will take this issue from the equation. read more

Breakfast here on a weekday morning. Order and pay at the counter, gather your beverages (and silverware!) and they bring it to your chosen table when it's ready. How very European! I went with the Western Omelet and it was a very big portion with tons of sausage and bacon. I ate less than half of this monster. For side, I chose the hash brown rounds, which are a similar concept to the ones at Burger King. Not that there's anything wrong with this, just be prepared for what you're getting. A huge meal, a very good price and a nice little restaurant. I'm a fan! read more

Came in for lunch today with some coworkers. It was a slower process than usual getting our orders taken, but overall things were good. I love the honey stung chicken and opted for that today. I must say I was not a fan of the Mac and cheese that I ordered as a side. My colleague stated it had some spruce to it, and I would have to agree. It definitely was not your traditional Mac and cheese which I found disappointing and will not be ordering that again. read more

Stopped going here 2 yrs ago due to ordering and them closing when i came to pick up the order, finally got my salad, 2yrs later today ordered a salad and when i got there, they claimed i didn't order it, as i was showing them the bank transaction where i had been charged for the salad, they finally found it. Not sure i will return. plus parking sucks!!! read more

Cafe Chicken Salad - $6.99 for house made chicken salad with alfalfa sprouts, green leaf lettuce, and vine ripe tomatoes on a buttery croissant. Huge sandwich! Have to really squish the sandwich in order to bite into it all! I like sandwiches that include alfalfa sprouts - they look like weeds but it's a unique addition that makes sandwiches more fun to eat. Everything in it tasted very fresh. The croissant was not too buttery but still soft. The chicken part of it is a spread, much like the kind that comes in a can at Costco, resembling a tuna sandwich. Red Velvet Cupcake - delicious, moist, and bigger than the size of my fist! French Toast - 3 slices of cinnamon swirls toast with powdered sugar and choice of hickory smoked bacon or sausage. Looks burnt and maybe tastes burnt as well (I'm not sure since my aunt ordered this and I didn't try any). Unattractive. Plus the slices are on the thin side, especially considering it's supposed to be French Toast. This place is located right off the highway with a decent amount of parking in the lot. It's a hot spot for police - in fact, there's a sign that describes their support of the police force in the area [and you thought police only eat donuts with coffee!]. Orders are made much like at a McDonald's, in which you choose an item off the overhead menu and it is ready in a short amount of time. Biggest difference is that it's much cleaner than a typical fast food place, and the items are not nearly as tiny, greasy, and unhealthy. read more

The breakfast here is pretty good. If you have a big appetite, get the pancakes. They give you 4 large and thick fluffy pancakes, with a meat and a side. It was way too much for me to eat, I could barely get through one. The hash rounds are good and so was the sausage. I've been here for breakfast and lunch and it doesn't disappoint. This is a nice diner-type place to grab a quick bite. read more

Love Williams food and friendly atmosphere. I was surprised to find it almost empty today at breakfast.

Service was friendly and fast. Approach the counter, order, pay and they deliver to your table. We went for simple breakfast. It was fine. Grits were too cheesy for my husband's taste. I had the breakfast croissant - large size, flaky. read more

Listen!!! This is one of my favorite places for lunch . I love the pitas and my daughter favorite is the tuna on croissant .

Just missed breakfast last weekend and opted for some lunch items. Bacon cheeseburgers with fries and a Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. The burger was decent, not fresh ground but stacked with fresh toppings of bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion (I like having a salad on my burger!) my daughter loved her Buffalo chicken sandwich, the chicken breast was ample, nicely coated and cooked with a good amount of the sauce. Fries were crispy and seasoned well but a lot went to waste since the sandwiches were so filling. This day they had issues with their credit card machine, hubby had to go to an ATM. Hopefully not a regular occurrence here. read more

Love this place!! It's like a hidden gem on this side of Durham. Locally owned with delicious variety of menu options.

Every other Tuesday, "Tasty Treat Tuesday" is what my coworkers and I wake up looking forward to. This week, my office catered hundreds of parfaits for our staff, courtesy of Williams Gourmet Kitchen. Prior to this, I had never heard of the establishment. The parfaits were plentiful and had just the right amount of granola and fruit. What's also striking is that WGK uses real yogurt and not the super sugary kind. It was delicious. Looking forward to visiting the actual restaurant and trying more of their menu out! read more

Not really that good. I came here because of the 4 star rating and reviews and left severely disappointed. I ordered the honey stung chicken sandwich but what I got was what tasted like a chicken flavored funnel cake. Way too sweet and very soggy. The fries had a slight taste of staleness with a hint of cardboard. I threw away my entire meal after 3 bites. The only redeeming factor about this place is the staff. The food is blah. read more

I always loved this place. The food is great! A local favorite. It's pretty packed during the lunch. The ranch is homemade and the cupcakes are from Favor Desserts right down the street and they are YUMMY!!! Get one for your to go dessert. My favorite dish is the honey stung chicken. It's savory sweet chicken sandwich and a must add - BACON! The brioche buns are great! Beware, the food does take a while to be prepped and served. If you don't want to wait call ahead and order. You also have the ability to order online. Happy hour is from 2-4pm Monday - Friday - buy a sandwich and get fries and a drink for $1.49! Can't beat that deal. Prices are not too steep. Average $7.50 for a chicken sandwich. Average $6.50 for a huge breakfast plate. The breakfast platter is great! Tasty and you get large portions. Over all this is a great local stop is you are in the Durham area, close to Southpoint right off of the highway. read more

The food here is pretty good, it's a little pricey but the portions are decent. The hours are only for breakfast and lunch, so check hours before going. I recommend the chipotle chicken panini with the battered fries! The staff that takes orders always looks like they're not happy to be at work or have an attitude. Outside of that, I recommend trying this place. read more

My second visit, and yeah, I'm just not crazy about it. Did a turkey number the first time around, and last week I tried the chicken salad croissant. Bland. Boring. But loaded with beansprouts (which were the best part). Had to order the side separately, which will cost you another .99cents. The thing that's saving it from a "seen better" rating is the staff and --believe it or not-- the atmosphere. The folks that work there seem to always be friendly and in a pleasant mood. And on last visit, I was really digging the local artwork adorning all the walls. The outdoor seating isn't bad either. I'd say it has surprising character for a restaurant that looks like it's a reincarnation of Boston Market on the outside. read more
