Brigs is a solid 3-star brunch spot in Wake Forest. I'm not from the area--just visiting…read morefriends--so I turned to Yelp to find a good place to eat. The restaurant was packed and had a strong 4-star rating, so with limited standout options nearby, it felt like an easy choice. My husband ordered the shrimp and grits, and I went with the chicken and waffles with a side of grits. I'm giving it 3 stars mainly because of the chicken. What came out were chicken tenders, which was disappointing. All the photos I saw beforehand showed full pieces like breasts or thighs, so getting two small tenders felt a bit underwhelming--I was honestly caught off guard. That said, the waffles were phenomenal. The grits were phenomenal. And the service was phenomenal. Overall, the ambiance, curb appeal, and especially the chicken brought this down from what could have easily been a 4.5 or even 5-star experience.

Hartura is one of Wake Forest's gems. It is located in the Market of Wake Forest Shopping Center…read more The building has transformed from what was once home to Pizza Hut. It is on the side closer to Capital Blvd., and there is plenty of parking. Usually, when I dine here, I can select my own seat, and they bring me a menu, but at busy times, they will seat me. You can enter from either side of the building, and one side has a ramp. I try to enter on the left side as I like to look at the daily specials. Over the years, I have gotten to sample quite a bit on the menu. The portions are always large and generous. My favorites are the eggs Benedict, the burgers and the fried fish. But I have enjoyed everything I've eaten here. Breakfast can be ordered all day here. The menu has Southern dishes and Dominican dishes, too. I am always warmly greeted when I enter, and service is friendly and attentive. I'm usually given a tea to go as well. The prices are quite reasonable.

We joined some Wake forest groups to find things since we are soon moving up here. We had seen…read morepictures of specials this restaurant had of like sandwiches and like chicken wings, grilled pork chops and some southern foods. The door we entered didn't have that sign so we thought maybe at the wrong place...(to be continued...) We entered and was greeted and immediately seated. Place wasn't very full but was clean and looked nice. Our server brought our menus and got our drinks, my boyfriend ordered us some Arepas and it came with 2 sauces one salsa verde and one mayo/ketchup mix. They had sandwiches and some Spanish Caribbean food. I decided to try something I have never had before and got the Ropa Vieja with black beans and tostones and He got the Cuban sandwich (with no mustard ) and maduros. It was delicious very flavorful food although my bf was like that would be good with white rice since Rooa vieja is stew like and so I ordered that as well and man....that was exactly what it needed (it should automatically come with it!) the meat was sooooo tender and juicy and delicious! Also I didn't realize what the tostones were so I ended up trading those for His maduros (which is what I thought I was ordering with the tostones...now I know better) The meat from his sandwich was also tender delicious well seasoned and make me jealous I didn't order it too! (Story continues) ....When our server came and asked how our meal was we definitely gave praises on the tasty meal but did ask him about the specials...he said "yeah it's on our board by the front door!!! We came in the back door!!!! Now we know. He said it's a southern food/ Spanish Caribbean inspired restaurant. Either way we will definitely put this in a regular rotation to eat at.

Got a couple sandwiches to go late afternoon on a recent Thursday. At the off-hour of 4:00 I had…read morethe place to myself. Place looked spotless (99 sanitation), and smelled awesome (they had just cooked come garlic). Ordered a turkey reuben ($16) for me, and a pastrami reuben ($17) for him. Waited a few minutes and took home a couple warm beauties. My turkey was piled high with thinly sliced turkey breast. Bread was awesome even though not the usual rye. Sauerkraut very good. However, I could not taste the swiss cheese or the honey mustard that were supposed to be on there. I would have actually preferred less meat and more flavor from cheese and mustard. Even more sauerkraut would have helped as the turkey ate dry after awhile. Husband loved the pastrami one. Said it was some of the best pastrami he's ever had and he could taste the grilled onions, the spicy mustard and the cheese on his. Will definitely go back, but would order differently for me.

Ordering is done at the counter, and you are given a number, and it is brought out to you. The Lemon Tree has sandwiches, salads and soups to order. The menu changes weekly. You can order a sandwich, two sides, a beverage and a dessert for a good price. I went with the egg salad sandwich and selected two sides, my limeade and a brownie, all for $11. The egg salad was delicious, as were my sides of basil, tomato and cucumber and the berry salad. I liked that the Lemon Tree offers fresh and healthier options than other places. Both the food and service were excellent this visit.

It was all delicious and I'm patiently waiting for a chance to go back. It was amazing. They've moved and merged with page 158 so it's a quaint little space and a book club was going on in the space. It quickly got busy. But definitely worth checking out.

We discovered it when we had to take our dog to Bay Leaf Vet for some tests. While waiting I went in to check it out and I was pleasantly surprised. Their menu was quite extensive with a dinner menu that was just as surprising. Because of our dog we ordered to take out. It was a little on the high side but you get what you pay for at Poppyseed Market. I ordered a tuna salad sandwich and it is the first time in a long time that I could really taste the tuna. The sandwich consisted of tuna salad, lettuce and a tomato, I also had home made potato chips and a pickle, all very good. My wife ordered a BLT which she loved, it had enough bacon for two sandwiches and she also had lettuce, tomato and home made chips and pickle. The sandwiches were very large and declivous. Can't wait to go there for scallops and slow roasted brisket with creamy mash potatoes and pan roasted brussels sprouts. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
