Wonderful Southern breakfast right in Downtown Raleigh. No frills place with checkered tablecloths and old trinkets and NC memorabilia scattered all over the walls.
The bacon & cheddar omelette served with breakfast potatoes was stellar ($12.50)- neither side was overcooked and their bacon is quality and thick cut. Breakfast potatoes were darn near small french fries, which is always welcomed. Additional rye toast and bottomless coffee as well. I was able to convince my fiance to split a hotcake the size of the plate! ($8.50). Split-worthy indeed. It was thick and fluffy as a hotcake should be.
Was completely satisfied with our breakfast and the prices were actually pretty adequate, especially being in downtown. The hotcake is a little steep, but understandable for how filling it is. Highly recommend Big Ed’s for a solid breakfast.

If you are a local or traveling to Raleigh do yourself a favor and stop in! The food was so good that the plate was cleared completely off!! The catfish was cooked to perfection and left a lasting taste and memory all day unto the night. Our waitress Kathy was the best hands down when we go again we would request her by name. She made us feel right at home and it was not an act she genuinely loves the customers she treated every table like they were family. Please tell me you’re still reading this review because you’re on your way to the restaurant! The surrounding downtown area is suited perfectly for all people! There is a place for your dog, your kids, or jump on a scooter! You won’t regret coming to Big Ed’s! If I could rate higher than 5 stars it would be 10/10

Big Ed’s City Market is a must-stop for a classic North Carolina breakfast. The vibe is casual and old-school, the portions are huge, and everything feels like real comfort food. I got a hearty plate with eggs and sides, and the biscuits were the kind you come back for—soft inside, a little crisp outside, and perfect with gravy. Service was friendly and kept things moving even when it was busy. If you’re in Raleigh and want a filling, no-frills breakfast with great flavor, this place delivers.

I’m visiting North Carolina and my boyfriend suggested Big Ed’s for the country style breakfast. He easily found street parking nearby. It is first come first serve, but the line went very quickly. We maybe waited five minutes for a table.
The service here is 10/10. Our waitress was the sweetest, but honestly everyone was nice. Southern hospitality at its finest! I also loved the decor. It definitely falls in line with a good ole country southern restaurant.
The food was pretty good. I enjoyed the spicy sausage on my breakfast biscuit. The biscuit itself was a bit dense, but still buttery. The eggs were cooked to perfection. I had a few bites of my cheese grits and they were cooked well. I like my grits thicker, but that’s a personal preference and I had to add a good amount of salt.
Overall, I enjoyed my time here and i definitely would return!

We absolutely love Big Ed’s!! Wonderful southern breakfast restaurant with everything you could want! The food is always fantastic and we come whenever we’re in town.
This place can draw a serious crowd during peak times on weekends so be prepared for a bit of a wait if that is when you visit. But it’s well worth it. Service is always kind and attentive. Ask about the hotcake challenge where you can win a T-shirt for eating 3 hotcakes in 45 minutes.
Would highly recommend!

Shout out to Cathy for amazing customer service!!! From start to finish she was awesome to me and my three friends! I couldn’t even get a picture of all the food because we started eating it when it came to the table! We will be back again! Pictured is the banana pudding!

Great spot for a meal! Something for everyone, with basic fresh food. My breakfast of eggs and French toast was good, eggs just right. Others had burgers, though the burger and fries were a bit too salty for my taste. The service was super friendly! Atmosphere was okay; not a fan of things hanging overhead (felt a bit dirty), but it fits the country style. Forgot to snap photos this time! #Food #Breakfast #Burgers #Service #Atmosphere

Great experience. I was served at Big Ed’s by Patrick who kept my coffee cup full and made sure I had anything else I needed. I went with a single hotcake with sausage and added a scrabbled egg. The hotcake was fantastic and done well. I’m always nervous about “Big Food” since normally you lose out on flavor in favor of the size. This hotcake hit on both though! The sausage and egg were also great. I got there rather early on a week day, but I’ve seen this place quite busy on weekends in the past. Overall very much worth a visit, and if you like mugs, they sell theirs in house.

The food was phenomenal. One of the best meals I have had in the area. Me and my wife were visiting from out of town, and at first, we were a little overwhelmed by the amount of people in line. However, the Host sat us within 5 minutes and the customer service was top tier. I appreciate how attentive the waitresses are, and how “old fashioned” this restaurant is in a world full of technology. If you ever stop by Raleigh, please check it out. Try one of the big hot cakes if you!
