Traditional restaurant · Fayetteville Street

"Mecca is such a part of the fabric of Raleigh that when the diner’s matriarch, Floye Dombalis, passed away in April of this year Governor Roy Cooper sent out a condolence tweet. Raleigh’s oldest restaurant has served high-powered politicians and regular Joes for more than 90 years. Breakfast and lunch are served in the narrow downtown space, where diners pack the booths and fill the vinyl seats along the diner’s counter for breakfast and lunch offerings like ham and eggs, omelets, pulled pork sandwiches, and fried chicken platters." - Sara Akhavan, Kay West, Matt Lardie, Kathleen Purvis, Nikki Miller-Ka
