I love the new Dear Dads location. I have been to the original one multiple times and was excited to come back to the downtown one. It was great for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the breakfast burger and a side of fries. Both were delicious and perfect with a side of homemade ranch. You must go to Dear Dads!

This place is fantastic! So glad they opened a second location. The food has been superb at both locations as well. Love the decorations and vibe. The breakfast burger is SO good. Like so good. I may just get that every single time. And you must try the blueberry hush puppies!! This past time, we had a lovely server, Bree. She had a delightful personality and was attentive. Good food, good service-it's a win every time!

Philly cheese w/ steak
Mark D.

Finally got a chance to check out the downtown location of Dear Dad's. It's great that they are in the position that they need to open a second location. Every time that my wife and I went to the battleground location, it was a wait, still worth the wait though! We came on a weekday so it wasn't too crowded and were seated immediately. I've only had breakfast items when I've been to Dear Dad's, so I wanted to switch it up and try something different. I decided to try the Philly cheese with steak. I was very impressed! The steak had excellent flavor, the cheese was delicious, and all the other vegetables on it were seasoned perfectly. I also upgraded to the onion rings... make sure you do it too :) The decor in this place is very nice and pretty. Makes you feel good when you're walking in. Now I'm confident getting both breakfast and lunch options from here after this past visit. No matter which location you go to, the quality of food is the same, and I highly recommend coming here to enjoy some great food!

Tried the breakfast skillet this time. AMAZING!!! Every ingredient was cooked perfectly as requested, It needed nothing! Layla is the best waitress and a great trainer. It's always nice to see familiar faces as well (Ryan). Well definitely go back!!!

Very seldom do I sit down at an establishment and then I'm ready to go! It pains me to give this one star but it is very necessary and honestly if it wasn't for the food, I would've given zero stars if I could based off service alone. Upon arriving. We were greeted by Cheyenne (hope I spelled it correctly) and she was so pleasant. She asked my husband and I if it was our first time in and we told her yes. She informed us to make sure our server knew once we were greeted at the table but she didn't indicate why. I thought this is going to be a great experience but boy was I about to be extremely disappointed. We were seated and greeted by Yoshi (hope I spelled it correctly) who as quickly as she showed up and took our drink order, disappeared before I could even ask a question or say anything. When she returned with our drink order she then asked what we wanted. I placed my order and My husband gave his order. When asked what sides he wanted, he only wanted fries. He was quickly told that wasn't possible and when I asked why not because if fries was all he wanted I couldn't understand why that wasn't an option, she couldn't even give a reason. She went around the world basically spewing a bunch of BS to then say, "yea we were just told we can't do it". After she walked away, I realized I never told her it was our first time in. Upon grabbing her attention, I mentioned I forgot to tell you it's our first time in. She gave me a puzzled face and then I informed her of what the hostess mentioned. She responded with oh it's just for beignets but I don't know how she would know about that and said thank you for telling me. Needless to say we never got the beignets. Finally a couple was seated next to us and when Justin greeted them, he asked the couple if it was their first time in. Something Yoshi hadn't asked us when she greeted us at the table. As far as Ambiance, it was beautiful inside and gave a floral vibe throughout the entire establishment. Not sure I will return to this location but if I do I pray I get someone else who understands what customer service means from beginning to end.

I would go here again and again ! Absolutely loved how the ambiance is , the food is great ! Love the quantity here it made me full with just having half of my plate ! Would recommend anyone who is looking for yummy brunch places Wait time is little long but the service is so good

Wow! This place absolutely blew me away. I came with a friend who said this was the new breakfast spot to try in Greensboro. He was not wrong! From the gorgeous interior to the fresh squeezed juice to the unique drink and menu items, you truly cannot go wrong at Dear Dad's. We came on a Friday morning and it was already busy - still, our waitress was attentive and quick. I came hungry and got the fresh squeezed OJ, Biscoff Latte, Birria Omelette, and my friend and I split the red velvet pancakes. I was absolutely blown away by it all. The juice was so satisfying, the latte was the right amount of sweet but not too sweet, and the birria omelette changed my life. If you love a birria taco you must try this omelette. It was so much food too. We got the pancakes out of sheer gluttony, and had plenty of food leftover. I have not had red velvet pancakes in years - and so these absolutely hit the spot. The space is lively but you can still hear your party. Dear Dad's, if you're reading this, please come to the Triangle!

The biscoff French toast is low key in the top-5 French toasts I've head in my life. I came back a 2nd time in 4 days for a repeat. Everyone I was with looked like they were very pleased with their choices. I really enjoyed the corned beef hash. Pistachio latte all day. This place is obviously popular by how packed it gets. They don't take reservations pre-dinner so get here a little early for large groups.

The wait for a table was my first tip that this just might be a good place to eat. It's very cozy-as in a lot of people packed in 1 room. Unfortunately that also means the noise level is much louder-I didn't like that. I say that only to say that I wouldn't go if you were looking for deep conversation. Go here for the food and service and you won't be disappointed.

Birria quesadilla
Leesa J.

First visit to Dear Dad's. We came on a Sunday around 1:30pm with a group of five and ended up waiting about 75 minutes for a table. Luckily, I found street parking right in front of the restaurant, but I appreciated that they validate parking in the deck if needed. I was immediately impressed with the decor-- from the bright colors on the walls to the fresh flowers at the table-- the atmosphere gave happy vibes. Food was the highlight of the visit. The standout for me was the Birria Quesadilla--it was absolutely outstanding. The fried shrimp and fries were both good, and the Classic French Toast was a solid choice as well. I tried the Biscoff Latte, which was delicious, although I found myself wishing the serving had been a little larger. We also ordered the blueberry hush puppies, and they were very good once they arrived. The only issue was the timing--they didn't come out until after our entrees had already been served, which was disappointing since we had ordered them as an appetizer. The server was apologetic and said they ran out of small plates, which seemed like a poor excuse for not serving an appetizer. Despite that hiccup, the staff was welcoming and attentive. Overall, I enjoyed the visit to Dear Dad's, especially the food. That said, between the long wait for a table and the wait for food once seated, I'm not sure I'd make a return trip. Still, I'm glad I had the chance to experience it and see what all the buzz is about.

Dear Dad's new downtown Greensboro location is absolutely beautiful. From the green lighting outside the building to the murals and artwork inside, the entire restaurant feels vibrant, welcoming, and unique to Greensboro. The atmosphere feels perfect for brunch dates, girls brunch, coffee meetups, or just enjoying a relaxing meal downtown. We tried the Birria omelette, Breakfast Club sandwich, dirty hash browns, Biscoff French toast, and several drinks including the matcha, piña colada, and Biscoff latte. Everything tasted great and came out looking amazing. The Birria omelette with the cinnamon sugar butter toast was one of our favorites and the Breakfast Club sandwich with bacon and sausage was delicious as well. The staff was welcoming and the overall experience was excellent from start to finish. Also appreciated that they offer validated parking in nearby parking garages because downtown parking can sometimes be difficult. Definitely feels like one of Greensboro's best brunch experiences right now.

They are finally open & appear to be quite busy. Walking in on a Monday around 1pm & the place was filled. Upon entering, the space you can see desserts on display and a small waiting area near the hostess station. The walkway is narrow and long, decorated with flowers and a nice welcome into the restaurant. Staff moved quickly to seat us. We waited about 5 minutes or less in the front. There are high top seating options, booth seating lining the walls, and regular tables as well. The bar is also available for solo seating or couples dining in. We ordered the Fresca drinks and were delighted to know these are available for free refills. The appetizers were hot and tasty! An order of hushpuppies that were the perfect bite and warm in the center, paired with a tasty cinnamon butter! These fried pickles were addicting! They were a nice crispy bite! The sliced pickles fried and served with a sauce that was also delicious. Since I've had breakfast at the other location, I wanted to try a lunch option. I decided on the blackened shrimp, spinach, and Spanish rice & beans. The spinach was recommended by the staff. I enjoyed the rice and beans, topped with cheese, cilantro and red onions. The pinto beans were seasoned well and flavorful. The shrimp were slight salty but the cook on them was perfect! The spinach was just ok, had a healthy amount of garlic and was also seasoned well but not overly salty. My friend ordered the Birria bowl. She says it was good but could use a squeeze of lime to bring it all together. Otherwise, the service and overall feel of the place is great! The staff worked collectively to bring our orders, check in, and make this a pleasant experience. I still haven't tried their desserts but was given a complimentary order of beignets that were light and airy with the perfect crunch, dusted powdered sugar. These are served with a chocolate sauce. Still making my way around this menu, so definitely more reviews to come!!

Blueberry hush puppies
Shanice B.

Had the pleasure of visiting their second location downtown. This location is cozy and quaint with vibrant decor as soon as you walk in. The host greeted us and sat us pretty quickly. They have a mixture of high and low tables, bar seating, booth and free standing chairs. We ordered the blueberry hush puppies as an appetizer and got beignets because it was my friend's birthday! I ordered the smothered chicken, Spanish rice and beans and sautéed mushrooms. It was simply amazing! My friend ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and onion rings. She wasn't a fan of the onion rings and they assisted quickly with a replacement of fries. They did not disappoint!

If you've ever dreamed of visiting Istanbul for authentic Turkish cuisine, you don't have to travel…read morethat far, just head to Zeeyum Kitchen on W. Market Street in Greensboro! After hearing so many great things, my family and I finally decided to try it this weekend, and all I can say is... WOW! What an incredible experience from start to finish. First, let me say that Zee, the owner and chef, is one of the most welcoming restaurateurs you'll ever meet. He not only prepares amazing food but also takes the time to personally greet his guests, making you feel like family the moment you walk in. We started with the Hummus and Fresh Flatbread, and it was absolutely outstanding, fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. Next came the Börek (Ground Beef and Feta Cheese). Think of it as the best, most flavorful "egg roll" you've ever had, but with authentic Turkish flair. Simply delicious! I had the Bugu Kebabi, served in a clay plate with red onions and tomatoes. Sealed with baked bread. I'm usually not a lamb person, but when Zee explained that the lamb is marinated for hours in an onion-based broth, I decided to step outside my comfort zone. I'm so glad I did! The lamb was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. The presentation was also unique and memorable, with the delicate thin bread cut open right at the table. It was more than enough for my daughter and me to share. My wife ordered the Beyti Kebab, is a Turkish dish consisting of ground beef, grilled on a skewer and served wrapped in lavash and topped with yogurt sauce and butter sauce. Every single bite was bursting with amazing flavors. Another outstanding dish! All the desserts are to die for, many are imported from Turkey. Before you leave, don't miss the opportunity to enjoy an authentic Turkish Coffee, Turkish Wines, or a Turkish Beers to complete the experience. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers healthy, authentic, delicious, and very reasonably priced food, Zeeyum Kitchen should absolutely be on your list. The service is exceptional, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and there's plenty of convenient parking. Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back!!!

Kofte meatballs are also outstanding, if you prefer beef. There's a whole page of vegan dishes, as well Baklava selection is beyond words. All of us had a lovely time. Can't wait to repeat.

My husband and I were in downtown Greensboro on a Saturday afternoon and decided to hit this place up for lunch. When they called the place The Bodega, they really mean it's a bodega. It's decked out like a small convenience store from the second you walk in. We ordered our food at the cash register to eat at one of their tables outside. The cashier brought our sandwiches out about 10 minutes after ordering. I ordered the Turkey Caesar. It had turkey, shaved parmesan, marinated cherry tomato, house-made Caesar dressing, onion, and romaine lettuce in an 8" sandwich roll. It was a little pricey at $15, but it was worth the splurge. The dressing and parmesan cheese were unbelievable! Since this is in downtown Greensboro, there is no dedicated parking lot but we easily found street parking nearby.

I'm so glad I did check my bag before I left because they did not give me ranch or plasticware, man I would have missed out on some amazing ranch. The young man gave me three ranches which I'm so disappointed I only grabbed one. Unfortunately I didn't get the best pictures but the food tasted great. The fries were thick cut (probably frozen) and let me tell you, I would just come back for the ranch! They have my favorite restaurant ranch.

Great casual atmosphere, the staff have really come into their own, and the food is simple but has little touches that often make it a small cut above most other sports bar type places around.

I decided to get those last night, and the fish was two good size thick cod filets, fried and breaded perfectly. The fish was flaky and tender, the remoulade it came with really elevated it, I'm glad it was not plain tartar sauce (gross). The appetizer favorite here is the pulled pork nachos for me, otherwise, we usually just get meals. If I had one small complaint, it's that the tea is usually brewed pretty weak. Steep it a little longer, and you've got me fully hooked.
