Southern restaurant (US) · Fayetteville Street

"Start your day with some country cooking classics at Big Ed’s. A fixture of City Market in downtown Raleigh since 1989, this restaurant is the place to go for a true Southern breakfast experience—old-school favorites like salty country ham with red-eye gravy and house-made biscuits with blackstrap molasses. The recklessly large, buttery-crisp pancakes are equally delicious. Every visit, I vow I’m not going to order them—and every time I do, with zero regrets."
