This is an amazing place for a great breakfast at an affordable price. Oh and service is awesome! They are so nice. For $9 dollars I got the breakfast special that consisted of home fries and an egg, bacon and cheese croissant . The Croissant was fresh and warm with melty cheese! The home fries are fresh and cooked the way I like with just a little hint of a crust on them . This place is so unassuming but don't pass on it on this. 5 stars all day, every day. read more

Went for the Wednesday special. The Crispy cod sandwich had 2 thick filets with crispy edges. Fries are top notch. Will be back soon. Easy to park, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. Great little cafe. read more

Delicious, fast, and affordable. Self-serve coffee is always hot and strong. Hours are a little awkward but make it worth to watch out for.

Food is tasty, service is great and the ambiance is nice. I will come back soon with friends. read more

Blue Ridge Deli & Cafe - Bacon egg, and cheese with home fries. - Cafes Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

10/10 service and food. Came in today right when they opened. My partner got the morning special which was the B.E.C w home fries and a coffee also a side order french toast. I got the pancake with egg and bacon. Overall payed 31 dollars for it which was money well spent. The music was very nostalgic and welcoming. I would go back. I loved that they had self served coffee and other flavors. I always pass it and think to go. I'm so happy that I did. read more

Love this place! The owner is super nice and personal. The food is AMAZING! My favorite sandwich is the Italian. Also, something you don't see often is non pork items. This place is halal which makes it better. The inside is like a bodega usually not very full but still very welcoming. read more

This is a hidden gem! My coworker suggested this place and it definitely was good. This is my go to breakfast going forward

Went here for a late breakfast and to catch up with a friend. Service was great. The people here are so nice. The food was good - we got the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel and the bacon egg and cheese croissant. Bacon was fresh. Food was hot. Not the best coffee in the world but everything was fresh and clean. It's a hole in the wall kind of place. The atmosphere wasn't really the best for a brunch date, but overall it was really good. If I'm ever in need of a breakfast sandwich to go, I'll definitely be back! read more

Got tired of eating fast food breakfast so I typed in breakfast near me and Blue Ridge Deli popped up. The prices were reasonable and breakfast sandwiches were delicious. Service was fast and if you want to eat inside you could. read more

I went by for the breakfast special of bacon egg and cheese croissant with home fries. It was delicious. The staff is very polite and welcoming. The inside is very clean and inviting. It's a shame that this place is tucked away in such a hard to notice spot. I highly recommend going here. read more

The morning special is amazing, so quick and soulful. The music was nice and the environment was clean. So good

I tried the breakfast special for my first visit and it was delicious. It included a decent sized bacon egg and cheese croissant with a generous portion of perfectly seasoned homefries and a coffee or tea for less than $8. They have a variety of breakfast and lunch items for decent prices. It's small restaurant that you could miss if you're not paying attention but those are the best ones. I would visit the restaurant to place my order because you can't always get through on the phone. Plenty of gravel lot parking. read more

I got the veggie omelet. The price was great but the food was questionable. The veggies didn't taste fresh (they might've been canned or frozen). The omelet had an odd taste to it and the home fries were nothing special. Again, the price is good but quality not so much. The people were nice though. read more

Delicious, filling, reasonably priced diner food--what's not to love? My family went for breakfast and particularly liked the hashbrowns. The owners are so warm and welcoming, too! Already planning to go back. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Perfect breakfast spot. I ordered the egg wrap with bacon. Food was fast and delicious. Staff is super friendly, I was greeted with a warm smile and they even checked on me while I ate to make sure everything was good. Plenty of tables to eat at, CLEAN. Nice and air conditioned too. I will be back! read more

Best breakfast hands down! I always get the morning special, sometimes with extra bacon. I've also had a burger from there which was also really good. Everything is homemade even the desserts. I definitely recommend trying this place. I love how welcoming and friendly staff are. they know me by voice when I call. read more

This is a pretty good short order Breakfast/Lunch Deli/Grill type of place that also sells a variety of baked goods. I think my daughter would be all over the carrot cake. The place is SMALL and the atmosphere is that of a small-town diner; unpretentious, very little to write home about in that respect The TV is tuned to a kids channel to help keep the youngsters occupied while their lunches are being made. The parking lot needs work and being that I have a low sitting car, my car bottoms out in the ruts at the entrance/exits The staff is friendly, and they appreciate the business they get - this is very obvious in how they address their customers with very polite gratitude. Now, just because a menu says a sandwich is hot, do not take it for granted that it might be grilled. The Hot Pastrami is not the same a a grilled pastrami (for which the bread is grilled as well). I waited about ten minutes for my sandwich, which I do not believe is an unreasonable period of time. For an additional $2, add a fountain drink and chips. While this is not a NY style deli, it certainly has the makings of being able to compete with them for taste, quality of food and reasonable pricing. If one doesn't tip, one can get out of here for right around $10 for lunch with the specialty sandwiches, but frankly, if one doesn't tip, well... come on, really. Look at the signs in the windows for Monday-Tuesday specials that are designed to help bring them more business on traditionally slow days of the week (for restaurants of all kinds). Lastly, for a "Deli" the only drawback is they do not sell pork here, so no ham or pork sandwiches. read more

We love this place. Great for a quick and cheap bite to eat. Always come here when in the area.

I tried the Italian sandwich and it was OUTSTANDING! Will absolutely be going back weekly. Also, everyone working was extremely kind and professional! Thank you again!! read more

This place is such a treat! I've only had their lunch options so I can't comment on their breakfast. I will say this - their mushroom onion cheeseburger is the best burger ANYWHERE! It's so cheesy and messy and juicy. They throw that sucker on a pile of delicious fries, I'm not sure what exactly is on those fries but they are so good! Not too crispy or too soft, just perfect thick fries. Also comes with a pickle slice and a small container of slaw. The people who work there are really friendly as well, like you're a long time friend. They are open for carryout during this covid mess, so go support this wonderful local business! read more

I had a breakfast croissant with sausage, bacon, egg and cheese and a side of the breakfast potatoes. Both items were seasoned and cooked amazingly. Very delicious! read more

A secret gem to an unsuspecting passerby. I was pleasantly surprise at the quality of the food, friendliness of the staff, coolness of the atmosphere, and quickness of the service. I can't wait until they get that outdoor patio finished. What do I need to do to make that happen? read more

Great cooking and service. Had a very simple takeout meal, cheeseburger and fries. Waited about 5 minutes on the shady deck (very clean), could have lingered out there all day. The chef brought the food to me, and asked if there was anything else I needed, ketchup, mayo, salt. I was all set. Took it home and found a very nice sized burger on a fresh roll, pickle slice, cole slaw and more than 2x the number of fries you'd get at McD's. Burger was tasty, cheese was excellent. Fries were done right - big fries, crispy, not soggy. A bigger portion than I could finish. Spartan interior, nice seating but clean and up to date. What I would expect of a "country" restaurant. I don't get what all the parking lot criticism is about. I went for the food and service. If I wanted fancy parking, I could have gone elsewhere, paid $5 more and complained about how expensive it was! Hey, what's with Yelp "hiding" all those other reviews below it didn't like? They were all legit and helpful reviews. So much for software. read more

I Just had a breakfast wrap so good I wanted to slap somebody, but I do need my job so that I can go back for another one !!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME ... Fred :-) read more

I've been here multiple times because it's close to my job. They seem to be a small family owned establishment where everyone who works their knows the customers. There's an awesome atmosphere when you walk into the establishment. The prices are great. They have a breakfast special where you get enough food for 2 people for $5. The parking lot is all rocks and dirt and they close at 2pm. Those would be the reasons for the lack of 2 stars. Other than that he food isn't bad and it's not the best but it's better than fast food!!! I think... read more

Nice little burger spot - my burger seemed to be grilled on a flat top and was large (but thin). Good flavor. Fries were frozen, but tasty and seasoned. Prices were very affordable. Friend had the chicken sandwich (which was a Monday special) and it wasn't very good (I tried it). The friend chicken was of very poor quality - more like something you'd get out of a gas station - one of those round patties. Another friend had the hot dog (red wieners btw) and said it was tasty. read more

I nice mom and pop place off the main roads. Good food, quiet place, plenty of seating and all went well.

I hate to be a killjoy but our first ever lunch here was a major disappointment The Positives : Super nice staff . Very clean facility --albeit in need of repair ( vent falling out of ceiling in Ladies room e.g.) . Good Health Dept rating. Negatives : Forgettable Mushroom Swiss burger --made with CANNED mushrooms . Burger was put on the lettuce without blotting the oil so that it cooked my lettuce into a warm soggy mess . The fries were overcooked grease soaked shards of potato . I asked for pickles ON the burger along with lettuce etc. Most places will put Dill pickles on your burger . Here they interpret that as Kosher spears on the side ...small matter but again this burger was a big disappointment after having so many good ones elsewhere in the Triangle Obviously a lot of people like this place so give it a try ...but I would skip the Swiss Mushroom burger read more

I'm so glad I found this place! I've driven past this place for years and was finally were able to catch it open (as they're only open until 2pm on certain days). I'm so glad I was able to finally try it out! They were quite busy when I was there so I ordered a burger and fries to go. The prices were very reasonable and the wait time wasn't bad at all considering how busy they were. The burger was great! It came with a nice portion of crispy fries and a side of slaw. read more

I needed lunch-to-go in the area, and found this on Yelp. Simple but delicious. And service very friendly and efficient. I had the fried chicken cutlet sandwich, which was delicious. Lots of day workers eating lunch, so you know it must be good! Nothing fancy, just real. Thank you. read more

Value, quality, and fast service. I had my first stop in at this place today and I'm very pleased. I had their breakfast sandwich combo, bacon, egg and cheese croissant. The combo comes with home fries and a drink for 4.95. You just can't bet that. Everything was tasty and so much better then fake food you get from fast food chains. The service was fast. I was in and out in just 5 minutes. I would definitely recommend. read more

I honestly would rate them higher if they did ONE thing different......ANSWER THE PHONE! I will never go here if I'm in a rush and want to call in a order. Literally as I'm standing here right now, I'm watching the phone be ignored. Granted they do answer it sometimes but it's NOT consistent.....outside of that, good food and good people. read more

Wife and I came for lunch to pursue our quest for divey eateries. Here's the breakdown: Good- Staff are pleasant and pretty helpful. They didn't mind "making it our way" and were very accommodating with our changes. They didn't have pitas today, but surprised us each with a side of fries for the inconvenience. It wasn't really that inconvenient, but hey, we weren't mad... They also checked up on us during the meal, in a very not creepy or uncomfortable kind of way. Definitely a plus! Food was pretty decent. I got the hot pastrami which was loaded with meat, not too much mustard, but was a little light on the cheese. Bread was fresh and it was perfectly warmed. Wife got the turkey sammie and said it was a little bland. I guess what do you expect when you order turkey. The toppings and bread were fresh and again, they didn't skimp on the meat at all. Less than good- Parking lot is gravel and the entry/exit is a little dicey if you are in a smallish type car. We were hoping for something a little more stand-out in terms of food, but I think we'll try another visit before we settle in a permanent rating. 3 stars for now, but we're hoping for 4 on the next visit. read more

Love the breakfast special! The workers are so friendly. They upped the breakfast special to $5.95 but it's still a good deal considering the amount you get and how good it is! They can get pretty busy. They also have a cute outdoor patio area. read more

This breakfast is soooooooo good! We always come here for weekend breakfast. I wish they were open on Sunday's. Very inexpensive. The breakfast croissant special is what we always order.
