This breakfast was simply good eats. The menu is quite extensive, offering a great variety of Benedicts and scrambles to choose from. While the restaurant's interior feels a little dated and the service was just okay, the food completely made up for it. ​I ordered the French toast, which came out perfectly alongside a side of fluffy scrambled eggs and bacon. As someone who really enjoys breakfast, I found this meal to be satisfying on every level, both in taste and the quality. If you haven't tried Briggs yet, definitely give them a look next time you're in the Raleigh area! read more

When here for Mother's Day breakfast. Got here at 8am and were seated immediately. Got my usual Beast omelette with English muffin. The omelette was large and chock full of meat. I had enough for a second meal. read more

Today is my birthday, so I started with a tradition, breakfast at Brigs. I was pressed for time, since I had somewhere else to be after. But they were quick. I waited for about 10 mins, I was sat, my food came out fairly quick and fresh. And I was out in time and ready for my next stop. This place has such an old dining room feel to it, so that's always a nice touch. But as always, I'll be back. read more

Another great breakfast/brunch at Brigs. Our server Nicole was great! Very nice and attentive. I had the Alaskan omelette that comes with shrimp cream, cream cheese, crab meat and hollandaise sauce. You can choose between grits, home fires or fruit, I chose the latter and asked for my hollandaise sauce on the side. They played a cinnamon raisin English muffin instead of regular, I brought that to Nicole's attention and she remedied it quickly. No matter what time you visit Brigs they are also packed, so be prepared to wait, but it is worth the wait. The restaurant is very quiet, and clean. This is my favorite spot for breakfast. read more

We stopped in for a late breakfast and this place did not disappoint! After a 20 minute wait we were seated. The place was smaller than we thought from the outside and pretty busy for a Monday morning but our server quickly took our order. We ordered the Pancake combo with eggs and bacon and the French Toast combo with eggs and cheese grits. The pancakes were perfect; fluffy yet crisp on the edges. The French toast was a little over cooked but tasted good overall. Brigs seems to be the place where the locals frequent and the setting makes you feel at home. Good food and good service. Definitely would recommend! read more

I came here for brunch with my boyfriend was instantly loved the feeling of the homey mom and pop brunch place on a rainy day. We waited about 15 minutes on a Saturday morning which was better than we expected. I got the Strawberry Waffle griddle combo with scrambled eggs and turkey sausage and I loved everything I got. The eggs and turkey sausage were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The strawberry was my favorite part ever as it amplified the taste with the waffle super well. Also all this for around $13?? That's amazing. Our waitress was very sweet and always checked up on us and we would definitely come back here. read more

Each time we have went, the wait is out of this world. However, the service and the food has always been great. Always have a great time. We do try to get something different or whatever is the special for the month - just to shake things up lol Now, don't come here looking for a 5-star Michelin experience and ambiance. Cause this ain't that. It's like going to the mom and pops location to enjoy their love for cooking. Just some good comfort food. read more

Went for lunch with my mom on a Sunday. 20 minute wait so they gave us a pager which went off in exactly 20 minutes. There is a little enclosed area with benches and stools to wait but it's quite noisy. Waitress was attentive but did not hover. She was quick to refill my soda without me asking. They have an extensive menu of eggs and scrambles. I like that they note on their menu that they do not add batters to their omelets. I want my omelet made of eggs -- not bread. I ordered the garden omelet and it was delicious -- stuffed with lots of veggies and cheese. Home fries had good flavor but were not crispy at all. Food came out very quickly. You pay at the counter when you leave. Overall a good experience. read more

Great breakfast spot. Plenty of options and all portion sizes are plenty! They were very accommodating for a group of 9 with kids on a Friday morning and served with a smile. Been several times to their locations around Raleigh but first time leaving a review. Friends from out of the country really enjoyed it as well which was the main goal! read more

The atmosphere was nice. The restaurant seemed clean. The food was not good at all. The potatoes had a soapy taste to them and the ingredients overall didn't seem fresh. Probably the worse breakfast I've had in Raleigh. read more

This was a recommendation by a relative who lives here while we were in town for a wedding. The wait was quoted at 30 minutes but our table was ready in about 20. Our server Esteban was excellent, as was the food. Lots of options for breakfast/brunch, nice presentation and very tasty. I loved the French toast! Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. Would definitely return. read more

I came here for brunch, we did have to wait 20 minutes before getting seated but it was worth it! We sat in a very cute corner and the ambiance was welcoming. Our waitress was great, and she always checked on us to make sure we were doing great. I got the chicken and waffles with a side of bacon. Everything was great the chicken was so well breaded, the waffle was fluffy and paired well with the syrup. The eggs were very well cooked and I like my eggs with hot sauce, be careful their hot sauce is very spicy. The bacon was a bit too crispy but it was called crisp bacon so that is too be expected. Overall it was great and I will go back read more

Did not have a good experience because it was evening yet the French toast tasted very stale. Server was very nice but said it was leftover from breakfast. I don't think so. Ambiance is pleasant. This place is a bit pricy for what you get and seems to cater to the more entitled folks. read more

I've eaten at this Brigs location a few times over the years, and I've never had a bad meal. Brigs knows who they are (affordable, consistent, home style - diner - comfort food), and they do it well. Over the years they've made a few revisions here and there, but overall few things have changed. We generally stick to breakfast items - Belgium waffles, pancakes, and omelettes. I'm a fan of the broccoli salad also. A consistent stream of customers, so set expectations as to wait time depending on peak hours, but generally good at processing customers.

Final made it here for breakfast a few Saturdays ago. Got here around 11ish am. What I had heard from the locals in the area about them being very busy on weekends was true. For my party of 1, is was told it would be about a 20-25min wait. Wasn't a problem, I sat in their covered sunscreened seated section and waited until my buzzer vibrated. Once ready, I was promptly seated at my table and my waitress was there to take my drink order about 40secs later. Very nice lady, but never got her name. She was very attentive to me, as well as the guests that were seated in her serving section. I've been wanting to try them ever since I moved to the area back in July. I had heard good things from other ppl in the area. I ordered the strawberry waffle combo, with an additional side of home fries. Everything was delicious!! After ordering my food was out within the next 5-6mins. I would definitely be back to try some of the other breakfast options. read more

Brigs is a decent place for breakfast. The Creedmoor location is smaller than expected so that explains the large waiting area in the front. Service was mostly ok but I never got a refill on my tea like the rest of the table so that was odd. I ordered the Brigs Benedict and that came with grits or potatoes and I went with the grits but ended up with both instead. The eggs were cooked properly with runny yolks. The meal was filling enough without either side. The grits were cold so I didn't eat either side. I did like the tomatoes and included fruit. I'd eat here again but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

A breakfast/lunch place that hasn't changed, even remotely, in the last 10 years. I guess there's something to be said for consistency! Nice inside, but the atmosphere is nothing to write home about - like an upscale IHOP. Food is on point, with good portion sizes. Service is friendly and attentive. read more

Brigs is my absolute favorite breakfast /lunch spot I have never left Brigs without being completely satisfied Food is always served hot, well prepared and orders are accurate . The service is excellent regardless of how busy they might be. I often take my elderly Aunt to brigs and the waitresses are always so kind to her They remember es x their regulars. My bible study occasionally meets for brunch and they prepare ahead for the large group (12-15) The orders are always accurate and separate checks are given without an extra charge All day breakfast is another bonus and if you want to substitute anything they are very accommodating - last week my friend ordered shrimp Benedict and i told the waitress I am allergic to shrimp so so please be careful that there's no cross contamination When our meals came out she carried mine by itself before touching the dish with shrimp. If I had one complaint it would be that they need more handicapped parking in the lot read more

First time here and let me tell you I was not disappointed. About a 20-30 minute wait which wasn't bad. The inside is family dining oriented with plenty of seating inside. I ordered the October special avocado toast with Gorgonzola, pears, honey drizzle , and cinnamon walnuts. It was delicious! Our waitress was very attentive keeping coffee carafe full and our waters filled. The menu has many options and something for everyone! read more

This is our Breakfast place. They have the best Belgian waffle I've ever had. They make them for me just the way I like them, SUPER CRISP. Our two favorite wait staff persons take great care of us. Sometimes it's a long wait to be seated, but that's because it's a lot of people's favorite breakfast place also, but it's always worth the wait....! Phillip L. Carter read more

This is a classic breakfast joint for anyone over the age of fifty. It's not bad food, but that's the thing, there's just nothing notable about it. I ordered fried eggs over medium, and they were definitely over easy. And my home fries were completely soggy. I will say I enjoyed trying my grandmas pecan pancake. However, there's nothing shwae about this place...I could cook the same, or better, at home. And to add to that, the service was a bit slow, and it was a Tuesday morning... It's not that I didn't have a pleasant experience (our waitress was sweet), it's just that I expect more from my city's restaurants. read more

My absolute favorite breakfast spot‼ The Belgian waffle melts in your mouth‼ The food is great, the staff is welcoming, the prices are VERY REASONABLE and the food doesn't take long to be served‼ I love Belgian about this place. They should really expand our renovate to make it bigger because if you don't get there early there will not be an empty seat in the place‼ read more

We came here to meet a friend and left fans. It's not surprising that this place is so popular and that there are several locations. Great service, a diverse menu, and a fine meal. It was a very comfortable place to visit, and our server was very respectful of our space. We all left happy and full. The portions were plentiful. I am sure that we will be back again. read more

Didn't see the big deal. Home fries were below average. Went to First Watch the next day to make up for it. Much better.

Terrific place for a meetup and great breakfast food. Large menu with nice variety and different takes on typical breakfast, such as scrambler skillets and several types of benedicts. In the end though, I wanted both sweet and savory so opted for combo with 2 blueberry pancakes & compote plus 2 eggs/bacon. Luckily the hubby was still hungry and ate half of my pancakes. They were large!! My only nit is the compote tasted like pie filling from a can. But would definitely come back! read more

I've been here a handful of times now and am just now getting around to leaving a review because I couldn't make my mind up about it, especially because of how much people seem to like it. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a nice breakfast option to fall back on, but I wouldn't include it as a top choice on my list. There seems to always be a long wait, around 20-30mins, and although I enjoyed my meals every time, the food isn't anything to write home about. There was also some inconsistency in the shrimp and grits (amazing the first time, way too spicy the second time) that the server didn't seem to care to right when I mentioned it to her. Other than that, it's nice to have this option near me. I haven't tried any of the classic breakfast entrees, but I like the skillets! read more

We enjoyed the breakfast here. Lots of specials off menu. Nice clean restaurant, very friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of dishes. Food ok and good portions. Wish all the plates delivered at the same time (one 10 minutes after the others), correct (brought a wrong sandwich), and warm (had to remake eggs?). I think there are better options in the area. read more

I always enjoy eating at Brigs I really enjoy there menu selection and this time I decided to change it up and tried there Alaska Omelette which has lumb crab near and shrimp and cream cheese and so special sauce. The omelette was really delicious and came out hot and fresh and the Cream cheese was a great addition. I had got a side of wheat toast which was buttery and good as well. The home fries I had were not that great very cold but overall satisfying. Now to the service part I always received the vest service we were greeted when we came in and the we had about a 20 minute wait which was not bad for a Saturday morning. The waiter was very friendly and welcoming took our orders and the food took about 15 minutes. The restaurant itself is small but they do very efficient with the amount of people they serve I will continue to come here it's the best value for the great food and service. read more

Amazing breakfast place! It's very cozy with friendly staff. I love an eggs Benedict and theirs is massive! It's delicious and comes with a side of grits or home fries along with fresh fruit. We did a take out order for family of shrimp and grits, an omelet, and waffle. Even the take out order was well put together. My family loves Briggs and always visit when we're in the Raleigh/Durham area. read more

Ummm...the high ratings really surprises me. Customer service is subpar. Not terrible just very blah. What I did really like were my waffles after I scraped the strawberries off. The waffles were crisp and fluffy. Turkey sausages were also good. Strawberries seemed to be a good mix of overripe and fresh berries. Eggs were extremely bland. Coffee was ok and they only had half and half. Husband did not enjoy his food. He wanted me to try the crab cake but I passed. I'm from Maryland and the flatness of the crab cake told me everything I needed to know. Not an awful place but I wouldn't willing go back. read more

Really great breakfast, crab bennies were legit and alaskan omelette as well! Good price

Love a place that serves breakfast all day long. The pancake combo came with 2 large hotcakes, 2 eggs to order and for $1 I upgraded sides to corn beef hash. Everything came out perfectly. The place was crowded on a Saturday at 4:30 pm. They also serve a variety of sandwiches including a Monte Cristo. I was last here 10 years ago and the interior looks the same. Servers were very young but attentive. Note to management, wearing a mask under your nose is the same as not wearing a mask. read more

PIMENTO CHEESE BENEDICT LOVE Traveling for business from Portland, OR, my coworker and I decided to seek a place that had great reviews for breakfast . Although Yelp nor TripAdvisor suggested it, Google did and we decided to give it a try. Once arrived, we noticed that there were about 10 people waiting to get in, they had stickers all over showcasing prizes and recognitions from different places and the wait was 20 minutes... On a Friday morning! This place HAD TO BE GOOD! They can sit about 150 people and the SERVICE IS FAST , you'll be asked what you want to drink within a couple of minutes, get your drink two minutes after and have your order taken then. Since someone had mentioned that Raleigh was big on pimento cheese , I decided to go with the Augusta Benedict ($10.29 for two poached eggs) which includes a healthy ration of FRESH, RIPE fruit (grapes, pineapple , orange ) your choice of homefries or grits with butter (I chose grits and really liked them!) and is served on top of a toasted English muffin with bacon , Hollandaise sauce and pimento cheese . The taste of the pimento cheese overwhelms the taste of the Hollandaise sauce and I was just fine with that, since it's DELICIOUS! If you are around the area and want to have Benedict eggs for breakfast, this restaurant has earned AWARDS for this, consider stopping by! read more

Had brunch and we were very disappointed. The restaurant feels unclean. The coffee pot was not clean and I really didn't want to pick it up to refill my cup. I had the omelette special, which was a Greek omelette with feta, spinach, and lamb. It was flavorful. The grits were swimming in butter. My wife had a gyro, which was okay but the tzatziki sauce was very watery and ran out of the gyro. The funny thing about my wife's meal was the number of fries on her plate. There were twelve. Smallest order of fries we ever saw. I asked if that was a normal serving and was told it was and they measure each order of fries. Wish I'd taken photos but I didn't. We won't be going back. read more
