Downtown is where we always take out-of-town guests, and we like to start at Big Ed’s City Market to get a real feel for Raleigh and it’s welcoming community.
You’ll enjoy home cooked Southern breakfast and lunch plates in a laid-back atmosphere with a collection of antiques hanging from the old rafters and memorabilia adorning the walls – you can skip Cracker Barrel next time, this is the local experience you’re looking for!
When I think of Raleigh, Big Ed’s City Market restaurant immediately comes to mind with its old school charm, attentive service, and classic Southern dishes!
On the menu are breakfast, brunch and lunch items, all very hearty and reasonably priced, served up on red and white checkered tablecloths with quick service.
The ambiance and décor make you want to linger a while, whilst the location in the heart of downtown is great if you want to walk around and explore more of Raleigh.
