The portions were good and my friend enjoyed her pancakes. I had a patty melt and was left unimpressed. The meat had no seasoning at all. Their homemade chips are good. They come out hot and adding salt and pepper to mine while hot made them perfect. I even took some to go. The lemonade is the star here. It's fresh squeezed and perfectly sweet. I works buy this by the jug! I would consider coming here for breakfast again if it wasn't so far from where I live.

Famous Toastery has a lot of potential, but the overall experience can be frustrating. The food is…read moreokay--nothing particularly memorable, but decent enough if you're just looking for a casual breakfast or brunch. Where things fall short is the service. It tends to be slow, and getting your server's attention can be a challenge. Paying the bill ends up feeling like a project, with long waits just to close out. If service improved, it would make a big difference, but as it stands, the experience doesn't quite match the expectations.

Famous Toastery, has become our "come back to" place after just 1 visit. From the soft bright…read moreinviting decor, the cleanliness, comfortability with padded seats, polite and attentive staff, the front of the house manager (i'm guessing) who was keeping operations organized, the friendly and great to talk to owner Larry, and right on down to the rewarding selections of food. It should be noted that "All items can be made gluten free". This place checked off our "boxes". My first observation after being seated, was their coffee machine; it's Lavazza coffee!!!! One of the best Italian coffees you'll find; that's all my family buys. The owner Larry, stated "people say there's 2 absolute favorites that people come back for, the coffee and............the bacon". We agree that not only is the coffee an obvious winner, but the bacon.....OHHHHH THEEeee Bacon!!!! I've recently completed cancer treatments, which has caused me to struggle with food, and found that my tastebuds are quick to alert me to high salts, nitrites/nitrates, msg, basically chemicals. Well, Famous Toastery was my very first breakfast out (2nd meal) in over 7 months and not 1 time did i put the bacon down; or anything for that matter. Nice hearty, meaty, non sizzle on your tounge bacon!! Due to my condition, i didn't "eggspect" to find much on the menu that i'd be able to enjoy but, once i saw the all time classic breakfast it was game on. The "First Responder", comes with 3 scrammbled eggs with cheddar, served with bacon and sausage. You can request "egg whites" for $1. Each item under the "Eggs" list come with your choice of breakfast potatoes, grits, or fruit, and a choice of toast. Along with this, i ordered the "Famous French Toast", which is 3 slices of Texas toast ligjtly dusted with powdered sugar. Ok, you ready for the syrup!?!? Real.....Maple.....Syrup. No high fructose sludge!!! Lastly, the orange juice. Ladies & Gentlemen, Famous Toastery squeezes their OJ, fresh to order! C'mon, How can you not start to love this place already? Secondly, we ordered the Meditteranean Quesadilla, which was on the specials menu. Wow, that was a delicious choice. Scrammbled eggs, feta, pepper jack, cheddar, spinach, onions, and roasted peppers inside a grilled tortilla, with a side of salsa and sour cream. This is not a flimsy, thin quesadilla. It's also not too thick, but it was juuuuust right. If you're not in the mood for breakfast, they also have sandwiches and wraps. While talking with Larry, i mentioned seeing they have a "Reuben" on the menu. Well, Larry peaked my interest by stating "they cook their corn beef DAILY...... in house!!!!!!!! Omg yesssssssss!! Also offered as a substitue, if you're not a corn beefer, is roasted turkey! I could keep going but, you've read enough if you got this far . Now, take your hungry appetite on down to Famous Toastery, in Fuquay-Varina, and get your grub on! They are located in the same shopping center as Kohls, so no worries on parking as they have plenty!!

The portions you get are significant and well worth the price. We will absolutely make this one of our regular spots.

New to the area and in an up and coming apartment/shopping district, I can see a lot of potential for this location! I got the Full Fish and Chips, a French Onion soup and an order of the poutine. Fish and Chips were very hot and fresh, crispy and served over a bed of perfectly crispy fries as well. I was honestly shocked at how fresh and good the food was. The poutine was a hit, and French Onion soup hot, cheesy. Everything we ordered exceeded our expectations, and left us with leftovers we were genuinely looking forward to sharing with our families to try (who all agreed, phenomenal fish and chips.) We came in on a Sunday afternoon, sat at the bar and were checked in on countless times. Dan and Ashley were truly lovely, more than happy to give recommendations and talk about future events at this location. They elevated the bar experience to really give you that familiar/cozy feel I often crave from a pub. We'll be looking forward to coming back as the weather warms up and using their outdoor seating -- excited to see what's in store for this location in the future!

I originally wanted to try Cafe Orleans the day I landed in Raleigh, but just a heads-up for anyone…read moretraveling through the area: the app showed they were open on Monday, but they actually weren't. Not a huge deal, but it's something to keep in mind if you're not local and are relying on online hours. I did make it back before leaving town, and I'm glad I did because the food did not disappoint. It looks like there are a few businesses operating within the same space. I ended up trying one of the cookies from another vendor there, and it was pretty good. As for drinks, they have a self-service vending setup where you use your card, a door opens, and you grab your drink. Different concept, but it worked. For my meal, I ordered the shrimp and grits along with the dirty rice, which was recommended to me. The dirty rice was very good and packed with flavor. The shrimp and grits were also well-seasoned, and the creamy sauce brought everything together nicely. My only feedback would be regarding the shrimp-to-grits ratio. The bowl of grits was huge, and while the shrimp were good, I found myself with a lot of grits left over. I actually ended up finding some grilled chicken later just so I could finish the rest of them. If they added a few more shrimp--or simply let customers know how many come in the bowl beforehand--I think it would make an already good dish even better. Overall, the food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and I enjoyed the experience. They also offer daily specials, so it's worth checking what they're featuring before you stop by. I'd definitely come back and try some of their other menu items the next time I'm in Raleigh.

My son ordered the Shrimp Po'boy and said it was alright but wished that the shrimp were fried instead of sautéed. We went on a Saturday and think they only fry chicken & fish on Fridays and Sundays.

Along with good old fashioned Southern food, you also get the warm Southern hospitality here. I was constantly checked on, but also given my space and time (I'm a pretty slow eater). I was a little disappointed to not see any fried fish or shrimp on the menu, but the fried chicken was really good - I highly recommend the sriracha honey glaze. The brussels sprouts was unfortunately a little too salty, dry and overcooked. Otherwise, it was a very good meal. The strawberry lemonade was also perfect for a hot and humid summer day. I'd like to add that prices seemed very reasonable compared to other places in Raleigh I visited and they had a number of ongoing deals that seemed very attractive.
