Review Big Ed's City Market Restaurant - Raleigh

Big Ed's came as a recommendation from a local friend, who suggested for my breakfast order to get the steak with hot cakes, but I subbed for French Toast. The aesthetic is rustic antique and felt cozy. Jack was my server, and he was great. My food came out quickly. I enjoyed my food but my only gripes were that the biscuit tasted flour-y and the steak was very salty, but when I ate it with eggs, it helped mute the seasonings a bit. Overall, I'm very pleased. I'll definitely be back!

Big Ed’s is my favorite classic breakfast in DTR. Nothing fancy just good breakfast classics with a southern influence. The pancake is giant and thick. You’ve been warned. The chicken fried chicken is just about perfect. The omelettes are good and the fried fish is a little unusual for breakfast where I came from but it was certainly delicious when I got it here. Service is friendly, the kitchen is fast even when the place is busy and it always is on weekends

We came in after seeing great reviews and getting a confirmation from a ride share driver. We sat quickly, were greeted in a timely manner, and the food we ordered arrived quickly. The small issue we had was resolved, and our meal was taken care of. We would recommend coming in for friendly service and home style cooking!

In town for work and happened upon Big Ed's. What a nice surprise....good food, prices, people and atmosphere. I highly recommend and will go back whenever I'm in the area.

My meal was every bit as amazing as it looks. A BONA fide Southern breakfast experience. The atmosphere and ambiance are also top shelf with a ceiling chock full of curiosities and antiques. The service was lightning fast and brimmed with that quintessential "Southern hospitality." The chicken fried chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, while being fall apart tender on the inside. The biscuits were like clouds over Savanah on a summer day. Close to the best breakfast experience I've ever had.

One of the best breakfast spots around. Very good and fresh food. Definitely an old time restaurant feel. Definitely would be back. We got: French Toast Scrambled Eggs with cheese Biscuits Spicy pork sausage 1 Hotcake Fried Catfish

Jumping Jellybean! It was my first time visiting this restaurant... but it will not be my last. From the moment I walked in, I could see it was well established with patrons enjoying their meals. The hostess greeted us with a delightful smile and conversation that was warm and down home friendly. Seating was almost non-available because it appeared that everyone was just enjoying the warm morning atmosphere and pleasantries of the environment. Our food arrived hot, and I was excited to dive in. Having completed a fantastic meal, and enjoying the atmosphere. All I can say is, you have got to go by.
