We went here for breakfast after seeing them get plugged on TikTok and it did NOT disappoint. We will start with the food: The food was incredible!!! Very generous portion sizes and phenomenal flavors. The breakfast club standout was the pork sausage. Absolutely excellent and elevated that flavor profile to the highest degree. If you get the chilaquiles, I highly recommend getting both salsas. It offers a great contrast of flavors. I got mine with the birria meat and I was completely satisfied. The blueberry hushpuppies were an amazing surprise. Like deep fried donut holes. The cinnamon butter that goes alongside it was a perfect pairing. Finally, the beignets were melt in your mouth good. Like flaky funnel cakes. I want to give a special shoutout to our server Raegan. She was great in recommending items along with making our drinks to order. Lastly, the ambience of the entire restaurant was cozy and friendly. It may be a lot for some but you feel like family as you sit next to strangers who are all melting with every single bite they take. 11/10 read more

What an amazing spot to run and try Yelpers. We had seen good reviews and thought let's go and see for ourselves. Heads up--Limited parking!! We parked at the Good Will and walked over. Very, clean outside. Love the glass decor' vibrate and welcoming. We checked in, gave our cell and within 20-30 mins we were being called in and seated. The staff was super friendly, everyone was smiling and helpful. Good vibes!! The guest around the restaurant seemed genuinely pleased Server was wonderful she made sure my grandson had a cup with a lid for his water(Impressed) I didn't have to ask. She smiled and answered any questions we had about the menu. Our food was delivered to our table pronto-very quickly. It was hot, looked very appealing to the eye, made to order & so good!! Don't take my stamp of approval, get in your car, & come on over. Yelpers I promise Happy, full and maybe some leftovers for later Looking forward to another visit read more

This location is in the building of an old Waffle House. So whits it's not very large, they've done a great job of reviving the place with very nice decor and seating. Very vibrant and bright. Parking is not the greatest situation but given where it is and the private lots around it, it's what it is. Our wait time was about 30ish minutes and they use the toast app to help you keep up with your wait. Our server was Jenny. Such a sweetie! Welcoming and very helpful. Continually checked on us and had multiple tables in addition to us. She was amazing! The menu is extensive and I wanted to try it all but couldn't, lol! I had the omelette and my friend had the pancakes. DELICIOUS! Temperature. Presentation. Seasoned perfectly. Flavors were amazing! And it was a quick turn around from order to food at the table. There are so many other items I wanted to try that I will definitely have to make my way back. Very pleased with the food and the experience! read more

This was my first time to this location. I went on a Tuesday at 9:30am and did not have a wait but it quickly filled up after I got there. Our waitress did say that she was in training. I got French toast and grits. I wasn't aware it would be $1.50 more for the grits because I asked for cheese in them. The grits are delicious super creamy and flavorful, but I wish I knew the cheese would've been that much extra. read more

I stopped by on weekday around 9 and got one of the last tables. The limited parking has definitely deterred me in the past from coming here. I'm glad I went. I got a platter with potatoes, bacon, eggs, and toast. Everything was cooked really well. I especially liked the potatoes. Service was okay - our drinks weren't refilled often or quickly. But everyone was friendly and the place was clean. Very close proximity to everyone as it's a small place. read more

As always Dear Dads is amazing! Our waitress was phenomenal and the food is delicious! Inside is very clean and the ambiance is calm and relaxing. The parking lot was the only issue but that didn't take away from the five star review. The parking lot is entirely too small for the demand the restaurant has. Other cars were blocking us in so people had to get us to move in order for us to exit the parking lot. Overall, great place! My husband and I go here all the time! We will definitely be back! read more

A few times I've been here the food's been excellent but I've always came for breakfast. Today was the first day I came for lunch. I didn't take pictures of the plates as they were brought out. I just took a picture of my leftovers. first let me say breakfast is incredible, portion sizes are quite large. It's always been my favorite at dear dad's. Our server was wonderful. Made sure that our glasses stay full with our drinks. He made sure to check to see if we needed anything, while we at the restaurant. It's really a good place to go for breakfast. Maybe if I pick something else for lunch it might be really good. what I got was buffalo chicken wrap now I understand buffalo means spicy, but this was a little bit more than spicy almost too hot to eat. My breakfast from before consisted of eggs Benedict and it was fantastic. Here are just the two pictures that I've taken. read more

Dear Dad's was popping!! My friend and I waited about 30 minutes for a table, but I considered it worthwhile. The service was quick and friendly! The inside of the restaurant is sooooo cute. I love how they decorated it! The food and coffee was really good! The chicken Caesar wrap was packed full of salad, and it was well seasoned and sauced up! I loved my iced biscoff latte - it was sooo tasty. I think I gulped in down in like 5 minutes. Really great spot in Greensboro! Glad I was able to try it out. read more

Decided to try this place after trying out the downtown location. Heard a lot of good things about this place and it did not disappoint. First off its in a small location so be prepared to wait, but the wait is worth while. The place is super bright and clean with cute decor that makes the place lively and inviting. The service is out of this world. Drinks were served within minutes of being ordered, water is refilled routinely. Food came out within 10-15 minutes of order and is delicious. The side salad I ordered is larger than I expected as some restaurants will serve some really small side salad. It is also fresh so that is another plus. The burgers are amazing to say the least. My son was shocked at how good it is and raving about it. The coffee is delicious, not too hot but also not overly strong or too sweet. read more

I had been seeing this restaurant all over Tik Tok. I just happened to be in Greensboro so I decided to have breakfast there. There were a lot of people there already but we were able to secure a parking space. I am not sure what the wait would have been for a table but we were offered a seat at the bar right away. The inside of the restaurant is kind of small. The waitress was so nice. We ordered a variety of dishes....pancakes, eggs Benedict, a corned beef omelet, hash browns, and home fried potatoes. Everything was delicious. The omelet was so filling and flavorful. I could not finish it. The pancakes were so light and fluffy. The eggs Benedict was very fresh and tasty. The eggs were poached perfectly. We really enjoyed our meals. I can't wait to go back so that I can try other dishes. read more

Finally had the chance to stop in and it did not disappoint! Expect to wait quite a while on a busy day, today our wait was ~1.25 hours but well worth it! The inside was gorgeous and I loved the design of everything! Our server was fantastic and she was super attentive, even though she clearly had a lot going on! The food was FANTASTIC! I ordered the blackened chicken Caesar wrap and also had some of the chilaquiles. The wrap was perfectly sauced and the chicken was super flavorful. I wish the fries had been crispier, but paired with the house ranch they tasted great! The chilaquiles were to die for! Spicier than I expected but that was a welcome surprise. The portion was also huge with rice and beans on the side! Definitely will be returning to try the famous waffles and french toast! read more

Arrived around 9 am on a Friday and the restaurant was busy. There were about 2 or 3 booths available when I arrived but they were soon filled as well. I love everything about how the staff welcomed my sister and I. We were checked on often and didn't have to flag anyone down for any refills. Bathrooms checked out as well. They are single stalls but there is a bench for you to sit and wait if needed. I'm late to the party dining here but the reviews do hold true. The food was tasty and portions were filling. I needed a carry out plate and so did my sister. She was happy with all of her food selections. Even the table next to us vocalized food envy for her chicken and waffles entree. I ordered the breakfast club sandwich with hash browns. I grabbed the ketchup but once I took a bite, the hash browns were all I needed on my fork. No extras. A few entrees stood out to me during this visit so I have to come back for more. As well as try a dessert or two! Thank you for the wonderful service and good eats! read more

I have seen a lot of positive reviews about this restaurant. We were looking to have brunch in Greensboro and decided to give it a try. It was busy, but the wait was not too bad. The restaurant is a formal waffle house so it is not very big on the inside. We were seated at a booth and the inside of the restaurant is very cute. Our waitress was really nice and gave great recommendations. I tried the Red Velvet waffle with chicken tenders. The portion was huge and very good as well as the waffle. I also enjoyed my pistachio latte. My son had the chocolate cake which was fudgy and very tasty. The manager came by to check on us and I thought that was nice. Overall, a great service of food. I would just go on a weekday next time since it gets very busy. read more

I came to this place the other day for a work meeting with my manager. The restaurant is always super busy but we got there at a good time (2p.m.)where we didn't have to wait for our table. I was able to meet the owner of the restaurant and he was super nice! We had a really nice server who was very attentive. We asked her for some recommendations from the lunch/dinner menu and she recommended anything that has the birria in it. I ended up ordering the birria burrito and I also tried their iced vanilla latte. The latte was delicious it came in a cute glass cup with some whipped cream and caramel drizzled on top. Our food was out quickly as well. My burrito came with a side of fries that were delicious and well seasoned. My burrito was stuffed with birria, rice, beans, guacamole, and pico de gallo.It also came with a green salsa that was not spicy and I could tolerate it. It was very good, the burrito didn't feel like too overwhelming for me, although I did get full quickly and had to ask for a to go box. Overall if you're looking for a cute little brunch spot or want to grab something for dinner, Dear Dads is a great choice. The vibe inside is very warm and welcoming and they have some great music playing as well! read more

Why do you never address people complaining about the seating? I've been here 3 times and every single time I've felt very inconvenienced by the lack of space. The tables are way too small and close to one another. The service was great, the staff is attentive and friendly. The food is quite good, I've had the shrimp po boy, breakfast burrito, and the smothered chicken. I think it IS somewhat pricey, but the portion size makes it feel worth it, I'm able to get two meals out of it due to leftovers. read more

Dear Dads is such a gem! The food is insanely good.. seriously, every dish we tried was a hit and the menu has so many great options that it's almost impossible to choose. Their drink selection is just as impressive, with tons of delicious coffees, matchas, and fun refreshers. The atmosphere is lively and busy in the best way, and the decor is super cute, making it the perfect spot to hang out or grab brunch with friends. Service was great too, everyone was friendly, quick, and super helpful. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

My husband and I have heard nothing but good things of this place. Drove to their location downtown but couldn't find any parking but we were determined to go so we drove to their second location across town. We arrived and greeted and seated one table away from the hostess. We sat and wait for a bit while the table next to us just had their meal dropped off. After a while we were still waiting. Before we knew it the table next to us was done eating and asking for the check; a couple just arrived and were seated next to us and were served with water and having there order taken while we still had no water and zero service. Felt very disappointed considering we drove to both locations just to have our time and gas wasted. read more

Great food and service. Well lit and clean. Be prepared to wait long during peak hours.

Another wonderful time at Dear Dads! Busy as always so be prepared to wait at any time in the day. Got Fernando's Plate this time around, which comes with a waffle, choice of two meats, eggs, a side, and choice of bread. A loaded meal for sure. I opted for sausage and corned beef hash, sausage gravy for the side, and biscuit. The waffle was perfect, nice and crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. The biscuit was fluffy and buttery and went perfectly with a spread of peach jam. I topped mine with a sausage patty and the gravy as well and it was phenomenal! We of course will be back! read more

I recently checked out Dear Dad and I can definitely see why people are talking about it. They're known for their American and Mexican inspired comfort food, and it did not disappoint. I started off with an iced caramel coffee, and even while we were waiting, they brought our drinks out to us, which was such a nice touch and honestly set the tone right away. They didn't have to do that, but it definitely made the experience feel more welcoming. Once we sat down, we got right into the food, chilaquiles verdes, waffles with strawberries, and huevos rancheros. Everything was flavorful and hit the spot. The place was packed, so I was honestly surprised at how quickly our food came out, but it was absolutely worth it. Service was great all around. The only thing I'd note is that it is a smaller space (it looks like it may have previously been a Waffle House), so I'd recommend going with a party of 4 or less for a more comfortable experience. Overall, definitely a spot worth trying! read more

I have been so many times and EVERY TIME, the customer service has been Excellent!! The ambience is still giving Waffle House vibes but I'm hoping to have a different opinion when they roll out their new location! Now for the food, it's giving comeback every day if you need too and try something new or as they say, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and get the same thing. I started with an iced Brown Sugar Coffee. For Brunch I had 3 stack of pancakes with Strawberry topping and I had to try the Red Velvet pancake with cream cheese drizzle....DELICIOUS I will continue to go back and absolutely can't wait for the new location to open! read more

Dear Dad's is always a home run. The other day my boyfriend mentioned that he wanted French toast but of course it was 7 PM lol he asked if I knew of anywhere that would serve French toast at that time of night and I checked dear dad's website and sure enough they had not one, but I think three or even five options. I was able to make reservations for 45 minutes from the time I looked on the website which was a great thing because dear Dad's is always busy. I at first thought I was going to also get French toast, but then I saw Chile Keys on the menu. I couldn't decide between red or Verde salsa, but I know for the future the Red is certainly the way to go. The servers are genuinely so helpful. They do their best to get everybody in and out quickly. The only thing that in my opinion was a little weird on the night that we went was the "live music.." honestly not just us but the surrounding tables all discussed if it was karaoke or if the singers were really that bad. Not sure if you can tell by the videos, but it was quite the experience. This absolutely does not take away from the food or the ambience and I think that having live music is a great touch when it's done right. read more

Small, quaint place with great service, quick food output, and all-day breakfast. The gravy was thick and seasoned well and the pancake was cocoa-forward without being overly sweet. The home fries were overcooked (but I'll look past that). Overall, a great meal that was very satisfying (including the drinks which was some type of hibiscus tea blend). read more

I've had the opportunity to go to Dear Dad's on 5 occasions, only getting to get seated and eat on two of those because of wait times being crazy long! The first time I visited was with my toddler and a friend back when they had their outside dining which was great! The second time visiting was a couple weeks ago with my 3 year old (we had a 20 minute wait). While we waited outside, a server brought complimentary orange juices to the guests waiting which was a great gesture. Once we were inside, our food came pretty quickly! My son ordered the waffles, and I got biscuits with gravy and eggs. On my previous visit I got the Mashed Bowl which was like a big southern hug to the tastebuds! I also got a Moroccan mint tea (which is listed for $3 on the menu). The decor was cute and while things were busy, we didn't feel rushed. Once we finished, I tried to get the check and leave quickly because I knew people were still waiting outside. I noted on my receipt that the tea was upcharged to $4 even though the menu said $3 and figured that was a pretty sneaky way to recoup the "complimentary" orange juice, but the rest of the meal and experience was good and I'm not the type to complain to a server. I will be on the lookout for that in the future if my husband and I ever get a chance to have breakfast there together! Overall, it's really nice and the food is good, but you may have to try to get in a few times before you actually get a chance to eat any food! read more

This is definitely going on my list of Greensboro Favorites. We came for a Saturday brunch and our first visit was simply awesome. First things first, parking is a little tight. We were lucky in finding a spot pretty easily. But come prepared to be patient. Inside is also a little tight, but they made it work pretty nicely. The hostess stand is immediate inside the door. They offer several two-person and four-person tables inside as well as a few four-person tables outside. For larger groups, they got a little creative. They have used an outdoor shelter to offer 6-person patio tables in a grassy area on the other side of the parking lot. It was perfect for us. The manager mentioned plans of renovating that space in the near future. Now to the important stuff. The food was AWESOME! I started with a hot Brown Sugar Latte. Both the presentation and the taste were great. Our waitress recommended the Biscoff Latte, which my hubby tried, and she was right; it's a winner. For my meal, I went with the Chef's Special. I highly recommend it. It's a Red Velvet Waffle with Hand-breaded Chicken Strips. It also comes with a side. It may not look like much, but it was very filling. They don't have a Kid's Menu but my toddlers split the Classic Plate and it was perfect for them. Everything came out fresh and at the perfect temperature. Other notes: - The hostess, the servers, and the manager were all amazing. Everyone was very personable and helpful. We never felt rushed even though it was clearly busy. - They have plans to open a second location near downtown Greensboro. - The restroom was nice and clean. Again, I HIGHLY recommend Dear Dad's. I can't wait to go back. read more

Our trip to Kernersville to visit briefly with our daughters who were having a sister's weekend was completed with this meal. The wait was worth it! Melissa greeted us with a smile and compliment of an anime t-shirt and started a customer service experience perfect for our first visit as a family (missing our SIL). Her genuine engagement with us was all smiles and laughter connecting a common interest and her fav cousin's name. The food is worth multiple visits to try EVERYTHING on the menu. It was a challenge deciding but we settled on some plates with Melissa's help. We ended with a birthday cheer and FREE light puffy beignets. A wonderful experience to end my birthday weekend. Dear Dad's is a perfect quaint restaurant for good food and conversation. read more

This was my second visit and got lucky on a Thursday night finding space at Dear Dads. This is a tight little diner that serves awesome food. I'd had the Cajun Pasta before and really loved it. This trip I stuck with the Louisiana theme and went with the jambalaya. Great choice! The combination of chicken, sausage, and meaty shrimp combined with the spicy rice made this a wonderful meal. And so much I got to have leftovers the next day. The added garlic toast was just the right touch. So what am I going to try on the next visit? Whatever it is, will be delicious! read more

Cute boutique sized restaurant with a large menu. Seems to be the neighborhood Sunday favorite as it was jammed pack with a 40 minute wait for 1-2 people. The food was so bland. I never put additional salt n pepper on eggs, but I did for this meal. The food wasn't that great and not worth a long wait. Biscoff latte is great for those who enjoy really sweet drinks. My son ordered the steak and eggs ...also bland and asked for a new one which came out exactly the same...bland. They have a cute photo op in the waiting area, too many people were standing around so I didn't get a pic. Ladies, dress in pink if you want your IG pics here.

Excellent food and service! Cannot stress enough how this business feels like it emphasizes over delivering on the customer experience side. We had a short ~10 minute wait on a busy Sunday morning, and while waiting, were greeted by staff offering us coffee/juices on the house. The Americano was really good. But even better, the Spanish omelette was to die for!!! Never had anything like it. Initially was going to build my own but I decided to go with their combo - no regrets. Needed to balance the sweet with the savory, and the Nutella french toast was so yummy, not overly sweet and the vanilla ice cream on top was the perfect addition. Vibes were the perfect medium of lively, but homey, it gave "welcome to grandma's house and we're gonna have a good time". IYKYK. Shoutout to our server Melonie! She made sure we were well taken care of. 100% would recommend this business without hesitation. cannot wait to come back to try more!! read more

Hello Yelp... it's me again My boy E put me on and brought me to Dear Dads for the first time. We pulled up Sunday morning--party of 3, about an hour wait. Honestly? No complaints. That's how you know it's about to be serious. Now let's get into the meat and potatoes (and yeah, I mean MEAT). I ordered the Breakfast Chilaquiles with beef... and listen... this beef?? I don't know what they marinated it in--holy water? Jesus tears? Grandma's secret prayers?? Because GOOD LORD. I almost stood up and testified. Parking is a little tight, and the place is small--real intimate vibes. Like, you might accidentally make eye contact with strangers and end up knowing their life story by the time your food comes But here's what really got me: while we were waiting, the owner/manager came out and asked if we wanted drinks. DRINKS... while waiting?? That's not customer service--that's customer love. They care over there. Coffee? Fire. Food? Amazing. Staff? All good vibes. Real talk, I would've waited two hours and still left happy. 10/10, I'm coming back--and next time I'm bringing stretchy pants read more

I came here after a group recommended the place and I was very pleased. It's a very sweet location, great decor, and a chill vibe. The service was excellent. It was too crowded for me to get a table so I sat at the counter, which was okay, but it was nice to see all the action. I ordered a Decaf Pistachio Latte and loved it. Very flavorful. The French Toast with Eggs, Bacon, and the side of fruit was delicious. The French Toast was a good flavor and texture, the bacon crispy, and the eggs were scrambled to perfection. An overall good plate of food. Next time I'm in Greensboro I'll definitely return to this spot. read more

Such a cool local spot with great service and cute decor. My food was better than I expected given the menu has such a variety and I couldn't really tell what their specialty was. I guess everything is their specialty. We had a reservation so there was no problem with seating but I could imagine them typically having a long wait since it is so small. I had the bourbon shrimp and chicken which was cooked perfectly. Also the mashed potatoes and gravy looked like they were out of a tv dinner but complimented the flavors of the protein very well. The string beans were lightly cooked so still had a nice crunch with seasoning. Everyone was super helpful, patient and quick with service. 9.5/10 experience read more

Like majority of us I found this restaurant on TikTok . Though nervous I was pleasantly surprised. All staff not just our server were attentive and contributed to the overall experience. Being that the restaurant is so small we were really happy to be sat right away without waiting . The Strawberries and Crème french toast was my favorite . The crème definitely sets its apart from any other local restaurant with strawberry french toast . I would've loved a little more "cajun" in the Cajun chicken pasta but that may just be an overall personal preference. The beignets were more so like airfryed puffed pastry .I would say overall this is a nice breakfast and brunch spot , everything that we ordered from the lunch and dinner menu was just a little lackluster overall . Nonetheless we'll be back . read more
