Most of the reviews by this blogger are of things and places in and around Ireland. But, while working here in North Carolina, he had the great fortune of enjoying some monthly specials at Brigs Great Beginnings. In the Stitch and Bear review “Brigs Restaurant, Raleigh, North Carolina”, blogger “dudara” states that “Brigs knows what it’s about. It’s about good, tasty, filling food that the whole family can enjoy.”

We’re especially pleased that an Irishman got to try our Dublin Benedict (a March special) and loved it!

In their review of a different, apparently less than impressive, breakfast/brunch restaurant, the bloggers ended their review with, “If you’re looking to get your breakfast fix, check out Brigs…”

“The service was excellent; our food arrived very quickly, piping hot. The breakfast dishes were delicious. I had a Belgian waffle that was perfectly cooked… the Malibu omelet – also scrumptious.”

“The kitchen specializes in traditional breakfast and lunch dishes… The service on my visits was generally good, with the wait for breakfast dishes less than five minutes… But it’s that quick timing during the weekday rush that is critical and makes Brigs a safe bet in the morning.”

“Best of all, at Brigs the full menu is available anytime!”

“Another good American restaurant is family friendly Brigs Great Beginnings. It has the area’s best breakfast menu, from which you can order all day, as well as great sandwiches and meals for the little ones, too.”

“This examiner has been frequenting Brigs since 2001, enjoying not only their food, but their friendly customer service.”

“The quality of food is much better [than IHOP]. I’m glad we found this place, I think we’ll be coming here for our brunches from now on.”

“If you haven’t eaten at Brigs before, please do yourself a favor and check one of the four Triangle locations (Raleigh, Durham/RTP, Cary and Wake Forest). They aren’t the most obvious choice for a meal out, but once you’ve had their breakfast and brunch offerings, you’ll start keeping it top-of-mind.”

“Brigs Restaurant still serves up the best breakfast, holding true to its promise: “The ultimate brunch and a whole lot more.” Weekday breakfast specials suit the budget-conscious, and rotating seasonal offerings ensure patrons can always find something new to try.”
