State Farmers Market Restaurant is located off Lake Wheeler road in Raleigh near North Carolina State University campus. It’s 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 – The State Farmer’s Market restaurant is a 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. Or try Brigs.

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

The New Yorker – Brigs’s has 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. Every time I eat at Brigs I want to try something else, but there is so much flavor in the Knight skillet that I can’t bring myself to order anything but the skillet. Warning: This is not on the diet plan & NOT a light breakfast!

Do over? Brig’s is a great restaurant for a Mother’s Day or Sunday morning breakfast. One of the best breakfast restaurants in Raleigh!

Gypsy’s Shiny Diner 1550 Buck Jones Rd, Cary

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.
