I've always wanted to try Dear Dad's, and decided to go to their new location in downtown. Walking inside, you're immediately led to a hallway and greeted by a beautiful floral decor. It's just so peaceful and lovely inside! The service was wonderful, and the server very helpful with suggestions! We ordered the omelet and pancakes, to try different items. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious! Omelette was also amazing! And I loved that they had shredded hashbrowns. (If you read my other reviews, you'll know I'm obsessed with them! ) The only tiny wish for improvement was the coffee. It seems a lot of restaurants have challenges to keep their coffee hot. By the time you doctor your coffee, it gets like warm. But aside from this small thing, the entire meal was delicious! The surroundings were lovely, and the staff was fabulous! So all in all a great place for breakfast! read more

We were at our favorite farmer's market on a Saturday morning and I remembered my husband hadn't been to Dear Dad's yet so off we went! We must have timed it just right because we were seated immediately! Woohoo! I had avocado toast with grits and a side of fruit and he had chicken and waffles. Great sized portions and everything came out hot and tasty. I am continuously amazed at this place, the level of training the staff apparently has received and how well they all work together. It shows! The decor is super fresh and fun, they have really made this place adorable. Love this spot! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

This is hands-down the cutest brunch spot downtown! The walkway is lined with beautiful aerial woven basket lamps and flowers hanging from the ceiling, creating a magical Garden of Narnia vibe that opens up right into the dining room. The sitting area features gorgeous black-and-white wood seating, plenty of bar space, and stunning wall decor with heavy floral accents throughout. The whole place gives off a very fun, coastal vacation vibe. It is absolutely beautiful inside. Their motto is "good food all day," so I decided to put that to the test. I ordered the veggie omelette, which lets you add three ingredients, a choice of meat, one side, and a choice of bread like biscuits, sourdough, or rye. It was an incredible amount of food and very filling for just 16 bucks. Honestly, it was the best omelette I have ever had. I also ordered the classic French toast, which was very good, especially paired with their amazing blueberry jam. The jam was a bit on the runny side, but I suspect that is because it is freshly made in-house. The jam actually came with the omelette meal for the bread. My server, Erika, was absolutely fantastic. She was super friendly, kind, and incredibly hard-working as she whipped back and forth between the bar and the kitchen. She was so attentive that my water and tea glasses never even got low before she came through to refill them. She did a phenomenal job. I am definitely going to come back, and I am already telling my cousin that she needs to try it! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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! read more

Dear Dad's has knocked it out the part with this new location right in the heart of downtown Greensboro! The place looks amazing inside and out, the flowers hanging from the ceiling, the vibrant colors on the wall. It's truly a sight to behold! The star of the show like always with Dear Dad's is their phenomenal food. It's always fantastic and their service is also top notch. I got a three egg omelette with vegan chorizo and dirty hash browns and my friend got their blackened chicken Caesar wrap. I loved the omelette as per usual and my friend loved their wrap as well. The waiters and managers kept coming by to make sure we were taken care of and the food was good. Everything was amazing. There is no dedicated parking you just have to get lucky with parking on the street! the building looks small on the outside but it'll open up once you walk inside. read more

I've been tot he other location several time so I decided to check out the new Dear Dads location downtown. The food is just as good as the other location. It's hard to describe what makes the flavor stand out. It's just really fresh. The new location is beautiful. So intentional with its design and honestly something I'd expect to see in midtown Atlanta. Spacious and well thought out. They had a great playlist going and I could've sat there all day. The true standout was the service. These servers were ON IT. What a solid and cohesive team. Everyone in there looks very young with made it even more impressive. They truly operate like a team of seasoned servers. Multiple visits from different team members. Constant drink refills without having to ask. Our server Amber was awesome. Really impressed with how they run service. read more

Out on a family day downtown and tried the new downtown location of dear dads. The flowers are amazing, really consistent branding between this and the place on battleground. I had the chilaquiles with red sauce, (goodness). Partner had the beyond burger (perfection). Kids had the red velvet and chocolate chip Mickey pancakes and bacon. Everyone loved their pick! Staff is friendly and gracious, plenty of water top-ups and check ins from the manager. The place seats 70, it's bigger that it looks. read more

We recently visited Dear Dad's new downtown location and had a great experience. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff was welcoming and friendly, and our server was attentive throughout our meal. My husband ordered the Breakfast Burger with sautéed spinach as his side. The burger was cooked to his requested doneness, and he really enjoyed the flavor combination. The sautéed spinach was exceptionally well-seasoned and far better than your typical side dish. I ordered the Impossible Burger with fries, and both were delicious. The burger had great flavor, and the fries were perfectly cooked. Our daughter had the cheeseburger and fries, and she thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. The décor in the new location is beautiful and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. We've always enjoyed dining at Dear Dad's original location since it's closer to our home, but whenever we're downtown, we'll definitely be adding this location to our regular rotation. Great food, excellent service, and a beautiful space. I highly recommend! read more

First time coming to this location. I've always gotten their breakfast food and have been impressed every time. I opted to go with something different and got the bacon cheeseburger with truffle fries. The fries were good and the cheeseburger was okay but a little on the dry side. There was a slight mixup in that the wrong food was brought to our table but our waitress was good and the place is new so I would assume that is going to get better over time. As many others have mentioned, the decorations are amazing and have the place a neat feel. Overall I would consider going here again but would probably lean towards more of the breakfast options based on previous experiences. read more

This is the new location in downtown GSO. We originally had other plans for dinner that fell through and we figured a hot Friday night at 4:45 pm couldn't possibly be busy. Yall, we got the last table!!! My husband got the chicken and waffles and he said everything was missing something, but overall very good. I got the chicken Philly, it was amazing!!!!!! It was kind of a gamble but I'm glad I ordered it. The only major complaint we had was the noise. It was sooooo loud. The space is tight already, but with not enough acoustics, jam packed with tables, it was to the point where we were drowning in the noise. Then a live performer came in and drowned out the rest. We couldn't even hear each other. For this reason, we probably won't be back. read more

Beautiful experience from the time I walked in until I left. Came I in on an early Monday morning and was seated immediately- glad I was early because a wait built up soon behind me. I was seated at the bar and quickly, graciously greeted by my server and the server in training. I had Chocolate milk, French toast with strawberries, and a side of bacon- all were so delicious. I was especially impressed by the incredible service and attentiveness. The servers worked so well together and while listening to them then train other servers I could tell they had been well trained themselves!! read more

We popped in the newest location of Dear Dad's off Elm St. this morning for breakfast. It was a beautifully decorated space with pinks, greens, and florals. The music was a little louder than I'd like for breakfast but was an upbeat Latino mix which was fun. I went with a basic breakfast plate of one meat (bacon), two eggs over medium ,a side of fruit and sourdough toast with homemade peach jam. It was a ok, nothing to rave about. A little pricey for what it was ($14.99). My daughter just ordered a biscuit. She said it was ok, but had a weird after flavor. Service was ok, nothing outstanding as in never refilled my drinks, but was nice. Overall it was just an "okay" experience. read more

Super excited to check out the new downtown Dear Dad's location. We had not had a chance to venture out to their orignal location in NW Greensboro yet. Now we are lucky to have one closer to home! The decor is simply beautiful. Lots of colorful florals which really brighten up the space since the only windows are up front. Check out their desserts in the front case! They have a nice long bar and table seating is cozy. We were greeted by a friendly young man on the street as we walked up and immediately seated when we walked inside. There is a long hallway decorated by hanging flowers leading to the colorful dining area. Our server was not available when we sat down but we were greeted by another, and brought waters right away. After waiting a little longer, another young lady working behind the bar noticed that we were still waiting so she took our orders. During our short time there we were helped by multiple staff members and checked on by a manager or two. Our waters stayed filled, which I always appreciate. Our delicious birra nachos came out in no time. They were definitely the highlight of the evening. My husband picked the breakfast chilaquiles (yum!) and I went with the shrimp po boy with fries. Both were very tasty. I believe this was the prettiest po boy I have ever eaten! The large shrimp were perfectly fried and the lettuce was still crisp. My french fries were nice and hot but a little soft for my taste. Next time I will try a different side. It is all good though, I wasn't there for just the fries. They have an extensive menu that ranges from red velvet or carrot cake pancakes, French toast, chicken and waffles, sandwiches, burgers, huevos rancheros to smothered chicken, shrimp and grits, and seafood dinner options. Usually when you see restaurants that have such a wide range, you worry that the quality will fail somewhere. All the dishes that I saw being delivered to tables looked fantastic which made it a challenge for me to narrow down what I wanted to order. Next time, birria tacos, and chicken tenders, and maybe their house chips? There was a bit of confusion when it came time to get the check since our original server really didn't do much but bring boxes and our check that we requested from the manager when he stopped by our table to check on us. For a location that was hopping because they just opened, the entire staff worked great as a team, and everyone was friendly. We will be definitely be going back. read more
