They are huge (1 is probably enough) and amazingly fluffy and thick, but still light and airy? Just perfection. The tots were perfectly crisp, much yummier than the usual breakfast diner hash browns. The toast was also amazing, I dunno how, but perfectly buttery. My Western omelette was fine, nothing amazing but still a good omelette. I was disappointed that their biscuit oven was broken, so I didn't get to try that. Service was super friendly and the tables and chairs were comfy. Prices were very reasonable (my kids way over-ordered). We'll definitely be back sometime to try their ice cream and desserts, they look really good.

The casual but polished ambiance fits perfectly into the charming, throwback small-town feel of downtown Graham.. which feels like something out of an earlier era with its historic courthouse, independent movie theater, and locally-owned boutiques and casual restaurants. The menu offers a wide variety of made-to-order savory and sweet crepes, as well as several toasts and waffle dishes. On my last visit to PRESS, I had the seasonal Blue Ridge crepe ($16.50), which was excellent -- a savory, blue-tinged shell filled with a great combination of sweet maple syrup-glazed ham and tangy granny smith apples and topped by a scrambled "hurricane-style" egg and a spicy maple mustard drizzle. YUM! The beverage menu at PRESS is equally impressive, featuring everything from made-to-order hot and cold coffees and tea-based beverages to a carefully curated cocktail list. I really enjoyed the soy maple pecan latte.

This place is one of those places where you look at the menu and instantly want to order one of…read moreeverything. Thankfully, I managed to narrow it down--but the temptation was real. We started with the Pimento Cheese Hushpuppies, which I had high hopes for. They were a bit over‑fried and dry, with more breading than cheesy center, and the jalapeño bacon jam was watery and didn't quite complement the hushpuppies. That said, the concept is fun, and with a thicker, chunkier jam, I think they'd really shine. The Fried Oysters, however, were a completely different story. Perfectly breaded, not overly heavy, and full of flavor. My husband--who's keto and peeled the breading off--still commented on how good the oysters themselves were. If anything, we just wished the portion was bigger. The star of the starters for me was the She Crab Soup. Creamy, rich, and loaded with crab. It was one of those dishes you keep going back to between bites of everything else. And here's my pro tip: dip the hushpuppies into the soup. It transformed them from dry to delicious, and I even suggested to our server that the kitchen consider offering them together. For my entrée, I had the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with a side of pasta salad. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the Thai‑inspired sauce had a sweet kick that I honestly wish there had been more of. The pasta salad was classic but surprisingly good--fresh, balanced, and better than most versions I've had lately. My husband ordered the Salmon & Shrimp Scampi, swapping the pasta for extra spinach to stay keto. Both proteins were cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and plated generously. Overall, the meal had a few highs and a couple of misses, but the quality of the ingredients and the creativity of the menu make this a place I'd absolutely visit again. With a little fine‑tuning on a few items, 2 Twelve has the potential to be truly exceptional.

Amazing food! Ed is a phenomenal chef!!!…read more My partner ordered an amazing seafood pasta. The sauce was excellent! I wanted to take his plate! LOL. My meal, the Charleston Crab Cakes, was really good too (I asked that they put the creamed corn on the side -- the crab cakes will come on top of the creamed corn if you don't make a special request). But when (not if) we return, I will be ordering the seafood pasta for sure because it was that good! A friend recommended the pork chops and the burgers. The ambience is quaint and the indoor dining space is very small and cozy. There was a bit of a wait when we arrived. I recommend making a reservation if you don't want to dine outdoors. It was January so too cold for us to eat outdoors because there is no heating and the overhead fans were on! Also, please bring a little patience for parking because this restaurant is in an area of downtown with limited parking.

They really need to check the temperatures of their food, definitely not healthy to allow their food to be this cool.

This place has my vote! I couldn't decide between the buffet or ordering from the menu which you…read morecan do either at this location for breakfast and lunch. I decided on the buffet and while I waited for my waitress to come back so that I could tell her, I noticed that another customer at the buffet, where she pulled the ladle out full of grits, then dipped her finger in, tasted the grits, and put the ladle back. I told the waitress discreetly, and a few minutes later the manager/owner came out of the kitchen and pulled the entire container of grits from the buffet. Never have I ever seen a customer do that, but I'm so glad I did, and I'm glad that they took immediate care of it. Now for the food. It could've been a little warmer, but it was still pretty good. I will give them another try for lunch and probably just play it safe by ordering from the menu.

I had heard good things about T Distefano's bakery before and happened to be in Mebane for the day…read more I'm so glad I was because everything we tried was delicious. The shop has the display cases right when you walk in the door and there is a little cafe area off to the right which seemed cute. We were greeted when we walked in and the girl who helped us gave us plenty of time while we decided what to order. I asked what her favorite thing was that they had and she told me the danishes or the cheesecakes. I ended up ordering several things to try: a glazed donut, glazed raspberry filled donut, powdered raspberry filled donut, cheese danish, chocolate chip cookie, and cinnamon roll. The donuts and cinnamon roll were given to family who already knew how good the donuts were and we tried the chocolate chip cookie and cheese danish. The chocolate chip cookie was huge, chewy, and had a great flavor. I think my favorite thing I tried was the cheese danish. The dough was buttery and the filling wasn't too sweet. It was a great suggestion from the girl working there. Also, all of this was under $18 which is crazy. Will definitely be coming back.

Tons of great drinks from the usual sodas in cans and bottles to some really cool imported sodas, beer and ciders. They also have a fountain with Puck's sodas which I tried and my husband chose a local beer from one of the coolers. The service was very friendly. Orders are taken at the counter and they brought our food to our table. We ordered off the specials menu so no guarantee the items we got will be available when you go. Everything sounded delicious and given this place has a reputation for being busy I would feel confident ordering anything knowing it is going to be great. I really enjoyed the whole vibe here. I will have to make it a point to come back again. It's about a 45 min drive from Winston but the drive is so beautiful it's totally worth it.

It's our go-to when we're usually too exhausted to make dinner. The menu is huge and somehow everything I've tried is always SO GOOD. Like there are no weak spots?! Some solid favs my family has loved: linguine alfredo, bratwurst, fish and chips, brisket, chicken avocado salad (this might be my fav and it's HUGE), ANY sandwich (favs are the Italian and the duck bacon turkey club), and the pizza! Kids pasta is a fav of one of my kids and a super good deal. The cakes are also sooooo good (but year a little pricey at $8). Great beer selection, we usually just grab something in stock to take home. The kitchen is closed from 4-5PM (I'm usually calling in at 5:01 haha). The staff is so nice! I will say, once in a while, their estimated times can be way off. I'm okay with that though, the food is worth it. One other thing to be mindful of: On big event days (like when there is a show at the Haw River Ballroom), they run a limited menu. They also have had limited menu days in the past when they do seafood events, but I haven't run into that problem in a while. Just maybe check their Instagram.

The first time we went it was pretty packed so we had to wait. They got through the parties before us very quickly and we were able to be seated in a good amount of time from waiting. They have a very large menu with many good options that anyone can find something they'd like to try. Something that caught my eye was the skillet entrées that they serve. I went with the south of the border skillet. This includes Chorizo, home potatoes, jalapeños, green peppers, onions, eggs, avocado, and mixed cheese. I mean... what a combination of items! This was great! The potatoes were cooked to be nice and soft, the chorizo had excellent flavor, and the jalapeños were the perfect amount of spicy kick that took this skillet over the top. It's also supposed to come with a side of beans. As a guy who doesn't eat beans a lot, I asked them could I substitute for a different side and they suggested that I get their rice. This was very good as well. We were constantly checked on, drinks were refilled all the time even with asking and very well taken care of. The prices are very reasonable. This place gets straight to the point... great food and excellent service! I've been back a couple times since, and it's definitely in my rotation of breakfast places to go!
