State Farmers Market Restaurant is located off Lake Wheeler road in Raleigh near North Carolina State University campus.  Its a free-standing building across from Farmers Market.

The New Yorker- BEST breakfast in town (so far). Great atmosphere. Great service. We put our name on the list for a table (there were lots of people waiting), but ended up sitting at the counter after only about 10 minutes. Waiter, Todd, very friendly and helpful. Very fast order, hot delicious biscuits to start. I ordered Cousin Syd’s big boy omelette; it was reschmickulous (absolutely ridiculous). Well cooked–perfect. Ordered 1 pancake to try–it was great just as I suspected.

The Raleigh-ite – Great, very low-key place. Great atmosphere–the waiters all wear overalls, and they have farmers market themed murals on the walls. I ordered chicken salad and it was mostly chicken with celery and onions. NOT like other chicken salads with minimal chicken and lots of mayo. If you want a good country breakfast–this is your restaurant.

Do over? Can’t wait to go back for their omelettes!

8/16/2009- We ordered: 1 diet coke, Cousin Syds big boy omelette, Garden salad with chicken salad, 1 pancake. Total: $25.18

Gregory’s is located off Kildaire Farm road in Cary.

The New Yorker – Delicious. Excellent thick omelets. Home fries, cinnamon rolls, pancakes–its all good. Nice atmosphere on Sunday mornings with pianist. Great breakfast place. Buffalo chicken wrap is delicious, hard to eat but yummy.

The Raleigh-ite – Gregory’s definitely makes a good omelet, large and very fluffy.  I prefer the home fries at Brigs, but the pancakes here are better. Great place to go for brunch on Sunday.

Do over? Will be back to eat at Gregory’s–especially on a Sunday.

7/20/2009- We tried the lunch. We ordered: 2 drinks, 1 Nice & cheesy omelet, 1 Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Total : $21.78.

The New Yorker – Excellent eggs/skillets/potatoes.  Pancakes seem flat and unexciting.  I crave the “Knight Skillet” for breakfast.

The Raleigh-ite -  I have similar cravings. This skillet packs flavor.

Gypsy’s Shiny Diner is located on Buck Jones Road in Cary.

The New Yorker – Only had breakfast. Not great, but OK. Less quality than NY diner. I won’t be eating here again.

The Raleigh-ite – I can make better breakfast at home. Its OK for a quick meal if you must eat breakfast out. Very greasy.

Do Over?  Not loving it.  Maybe one more try.
