Brigs at the Forest Restaurant

Not bad, but definitely overrated as far as taste of the food goes. We went on a busy morning as a group of 6 and got seated immediately, so that was a pleasant surprise. The staff were super friendly and it was a nice atmosphere, so I could see why people would love to make a tradition out of eating here. But yeah when it comes to paying a pretty high price for breakfast like this, I do have higher hopes for the actual eating experience.

Let me start by saying we have frequented Brigs numerous times, but yesterday’s experience was less than acceptable. I ordered the Blue-berry salad. It was described as having grilled chicken. When I took the first bite of the chicken it definitely was not plain grilled chicken, it had some type of spicy seasoning which I do not care for at all. When I questioned the waiter, Blake, he went to check and said it was a pre-seasoned piece of chicken with Mesquite seasoning, and they could not provide plain grilled chicken. ‘Mesquite’ was NOT listed on the menu. I put it aside and ate the rest of the salad. Mid meal he asked if everything was okay and I said ‘not really’. Then we informed him that the Beef Slillet, which was the January feature that my husband ordered seemed to be lacking the meat and the bacon. He replied that he didn’t notice. 🤷🏼‍♀️ He never refilled an iced tea. When he brought the check he said next time I could get turkey or ham in the salad, which would have been a deli variety. When we went to check out I asked to speak to the manager who is the older woman with the white hair. From the beginning she was very defensive and said I was attacking her? Well, who am to complain to after the waiter didn’t have satisfactory answers. They ask if everything was okay, and I said no, it wasn’t. She said she doesn’t make the menu. Also said they could have provided diced chicken that they use in the omelettes, and I should have called her over to correct the situation. Again, how am I supposed to know that after I already brought it up to the waiter….he should have known the options. She had no comment about the skillet quality. In the end she did comp the bill by half, and I didn’t penalize the waiter. He isn’t responsible for how the menu is written or the quality of the food from the kitchen, but he could have provided better service. On another note…and to be honest I did not go into the women’s rest room yesterday, but in recent visits the soap and paper towel dispensers need to be replaced. Sadly to say, this restaurant has definitely gone downhill.

X the first time I went I was seated right away the food was good and hot prices were good too. But one Sunday I tried to run in and grab a quick breakfast to go and the line was outside. So if you try this place don't go on Sunday Morning if you are in a rush.

Nikki was an awesome server. The girl that broke her back was a really nice hostess. Praying for her quick recovery. The restaurant is clean and organized. Looks like the kind of place that can get real busy. Everything was as expected for me. I loved it. I'll be back, maybe a regular now.

Location is constantly busy, but it’s not a long wait. The inside looks outdated, but it seems they are doing some changes. The employees are very nice.

Food is OK depending when you go. At best its IHOP, at worst its Waffle House. The issue i have is that the manager (an older lady with white hair) literally pushed my wife out of the way and said she was busy trying to get people inside. My wife was standing behind me in my wheelchair and we were waiting behind a crowd of people trying to check out, so I could get to the Inaccessible Bathroom. The fruit has some sort of chemical on it, first and last time I order fruit, I actually spit it on my plate which I do not do over bad taste...I just swallow and say ,no more please, but this tasted like chemical cleaner or bleach. It was substituted for home fries, they WERE NOT HOT. They were somewhat warm in the middle but most of it was cold, I let the gentleman know and he said he saw them take them right off the grill. I can only assume he didnt see the part where they obviously put old home fries on the grill to reheat them. That's why he saw them come off the grill. Fresh home fries glisten from the oil, the oil had already soaked it in and tasted stale. My son ordered corn beef hash, it came out looking like it was straight out of a can and wasn't even cooked, it looked like ALPO. They took half off each our meals, I could go on about the quality of the ommelette etc, but ill just wrap up with, everything was either bad or OK. This is my second time there this week. The first visit was better but still OK. No fiasco like today, but the grits were obviously instant, or just really poorly made. Grits should be creamy not watery. Anyways. We are done with Brigs, for the expense a Biscuit from bojangles is a better option for my family.

Excellent breakfast! I went in October and had the pumpkin pancakes, a seasonal treat! Wow! They were delicious and I highly recommend. I ordered hash browns and eggs on the side, which were also good. It’s an area favorite, which means we had a 20 minute wait- so plan accordingly. Just go- you won’t be disappointed.

I come here with my mom and grandma every time I come visit. They are always slammed. But they get through the wait quickly it’s typically a 20-45 minute wait. They have great seasonal rotations. I love their French toast, pancakes and the almondnutmuff is delicious. I keep wanting to try their autumn avocado toast it sounds great! The lady at the front who’s worked here for 30 years always remembers my grandma Betty and makes her feel warm and welcome. With my gma’s memory problems it’s very kind and sweet that she remembers her and keeps her in the loop. 1000000/10. Wonderful place

We went to Brigs in the Forest for brunch after church on Sunday. If you go mid to late morning on Sunday, be ready to wait with the rest of Wake Forest getting out of church; we waited 45 minutes. But as always, it's worth the wait. No frills, good service, and consistently delicious and reasonably priced meals. I had The Beast - pictured below: a protein-packed go-to for my fellow weightlifting and fitness enthusiasts. Ok, yes, I went carb heavy but we're all allowed to splurge at times . PS for the manager, please get with the times and get a text service to notify patrons their table is ready. That poor young lady at the check-in desk ran the entire time inside and outside every time she had to let someone know their table was ready.

This was our second time here. We went for lunch this time. Meals tho at were ordered were the special burger The Caprese burger with fries, the Patty melt with sweet potato fries, the Reuben with fries and the chicken sandwich with fries. They have a special sandwich, burger and salad each month maybe? The caprese burger had a burger patty, fresh mozzarella, tomato and a drizzle of balsamic glaze and pesto spread. The burger was pretty gimmicky and wasn't anything too specials the best part the fresh mozzarella didn't taste much of the pesto probably because it was on the bun maybe if it had actually been on the burger to meld with the other items might have made a difference. The patty melt had lettuce, tomato, red onion and he added grilled onions and mushrooms. He enjoyed it and the fries had sprinkled sugar on them and were good. The chicken sandwich was called double trouble. It had lettuce, tomato, jalapeño, bacon, provolone and ranch dressing. The chicken was juicy and had a bite to it from the jalapenos. My Reuben was delicious. If the rye bread had a stronger rye taste it would have been a 10 out of 10! The corned beef was delicious and the sandwich had a perfect amount of dressing and sauerkraut! If I return I will get that again!! I also got the Almond Nutmuff A brown sugar and cinnamon glazed English muffin topped with toasted almonds and served with cream cheese. The cream cheese came on the side so you could add the amount you wanted and it helped mellow some of the sweetness from the sugar and had the perfect crunch to it as well! Yes, that's definitely a repeat item I will get again, Our server was great! Got everything right including all moderations.

Another delicious meal at the "go-to" breakfast spot in Wake Forest. It's (still) a busy place... Always a line. Waited about 20 minutes with a promise of 30 minutes. They use pagers so you can wait outside or in your car. Waiting space inside is limited. Service is friendly and efficient, although rushed. Seemed like they could have been short a few servers but the team working hustles! Had crab cake benedict. A pair of well executed house-made crab cakes atop a could-have-been-toasted-more English muffin. The eggs perfectly poached - not too runny, not too hard. Hollandaise sauce is a unique horseradish-base. The horseradish is subtle and adds a nice touch. Served with a side of fruit. Definitely a solid breakfast place. Plan your visit around waiting for a table, but they will not disappoint.

I always love getting together with family for brunch. Brigs is one of my favorite places to enjoy great omelets, frittatas or just a great scrambled egg. Never disappointed with the service or food!

This place was packed at noon on Saturday. It is very loud so this may not be the best place for a group to socialize. The menu offered a number of delicious sounding breakfast and lunch potions. The griddle combo came with 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, plus a side. The meal was definitely filling. It came hot hot and fairly quickly after ordering. The pancakes were bland and other than butter and syrup offered no other taste. Table of four. Solid average rating.

The service, atmosphere, and food was a fantastic way to start a morning. The Pilgrim Benedict breakfast was soul filling deliciousness. The cranberry stuffing instead of an English muffin WAS / is GENIUS . Def worth repeating!

My husband and I drove a distance to eat here, it was well worth the drive. Great customer service and amazing atmosphere! The food was excellent!

We stopped by Brigs in Wake Forest for breakfast and had a really enjoyable experience overall. The menu is full of variety and it's a solid place if you're in the mood for Southern breakfast staples: biscuits, grits, omelets, and all the comforting classics you'd expect. I got the Hildalgo omelette with a side of grits and bread which as you can see, the portion sizes are huge and tasted good. While the others at my table got chicken and waffles and a steak breakfast which they all really liked. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and our server was friendly and attentive throughout. It's clearly a local favorite with a steady crowd and a lively vibe. The only reason we're giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because when we asked for a coffee carafe for the table, the first pot we got was unfortunately burnt and basically undrinkable. We had to ask for a new one to be brought out, which they did, but it was a bit of a letdown. it was also super crowded and pretty loud for the space. Still, we'd definitely come back next time we're in the area, it's a great go-to spot for a hearty Southern breakfast.

Food was delicious, portions are plenty and atmosphere is warming. Service was quick and server was diligent with refills.

Lovely country style southern hospitality and great food. Everyone was incredibly friendly from the moment we entered. The menu has something for everyone and the portion sized are excellent

Second time that I come to Brigs. I liked it the first time and I still like it today :). Solid menu, good service and reasonably priced. I came with my wife and 2 young kids to celebrate first day of school ! Everybody enjoyed it ! Place is clean and food is good. Waitress was very attentive. And portions had pretty decent size that we ended up taking some home ! I'll definitely will be coming a 3rd time. !

It was super packed when we arrived, so I had high hopes. We waited for 40 minutes and were finally able to be seated. Our waitress came right away and got our drink order. The place isn't really bad, it gives me the vibes of a K&W's. I was a bit disappointed in the prices of the combos because I guess I'm spoiled by the prices of one of my favorite breakfast places in Greensboro. A combo with (waffles, pancakes, french toast) only eggs and a side is $11-$14 whereas I can get Bacon, ham, sausage, eggs, a side and pancakes for $12 at another place like this. It took about another 30 to 40 minutes to get our food. Everything looked pretty good. It's probably just me, but I wasn't too fond of the french toast, but my mom was. My breakfast potatoes were a bit cold when I received them. We did get a free side of fruit because the waitress just brought it out.

This is the best waffle I have ever had! It was so delicious--and so big I couldn't finish it! The menu was so full of delicious-sounding food that I didn't know what to pick! The waitress was very nice--she got me a new fork when I dropped mine. It has a very nice vibe in here too, with good music, a fish pond outside, and outdoor seating. Also, we came here with an older relative with a walker and she had no trouble getting in. I would definitely recommend this place!

I have a soft spot for this place. There are many reasons to neg this place -- it's a little rundown, the ketchup is oddly neither Hunts nor Heinz, the dining room's acoustics are absurdly loud, et cetera. But it's a an oddly satisfying experience. I can't explain why. The menu is pretty decent for a brunch place. You can play it safe, or you can experiment a little with the monthly specials or some of the more creative options. I would not ever refer to anything here as sophisticated, or refined, but it I have always enjoyed getting an early/late breakfast.

It's always a pleasure to visit Brigs! See my full review: www.foodbloggernc.com Food and service is always in point!

Never have understood the allure of Brigs, or the willingness of people to wait an hour to eat here, either. The food is average and quite pricey, definitely not worth the cost. Very crowded dining areas, outdated decor and just very average food. There are better options locally. This location does have dedicated parking lot but it's always packed.

Brigs is always a win! We love bringing our crew here because the food is always delicious and so affordable. We can feed our family of 6 for 50-70 bucks which is a steal because most places it's closer to 100. We have been coming for three years and never had a bad experience!

I recommend but this establishment needs remodeling badly!! The rugs need to be replaced and decor is a little sad. The food is okay.

Brigs restaurant was recommended to me by several friends, particularly this location, so I had high expectations. However, the food was not what I was expecting. The price was right on, but the taste was off. Improvements: The pancakes lacked a lot of flavor. I could tell that the batter did not have anything else other than water added--no buttermilk, regular milk, butter, or other ingredients that would bring some umph to the pancakes. You needed to add all of these ingredients on top in order to be able to eat pancakes as the taste fell flat without them. Positives: the turkey sausage was yummy--was not too salty and tasted delicious. Also, my waitress was super attentive, funny, and kind. Although the restaurant was close to closing she made me her focus and took care of getting me a menu, my meal, boxes/syrup, and my check. She took care of me and made me feel like a real customer! I gave Brigs a chance, but I think this may be my only chance.

I love this restaurant. Bright cheerful rooms, tables spaced apart, light shining in windows. Great staff. The best chicken salad and broccoli salad around. Fruit and muffin fresh tasting. I pretend like I'm going to order something else but I just can't. Hands down my favorite lunch.

The food was good and the service was excellent. Can't believe how many people love this place, it's always busy. Just love a good breakfast! Suggest giving the servers a little break and serving everything on one plate. Large oval plate with skillet sliding around on top looks like a huge challenge and during our time heard a couple dishes crash around us. Still a great experience.

Delicious food at a great price! Had the seafood omelet and was delicious! Recommend you plan on waiting in line for at least 30 minutes.

When you visit Wake Forest NC you should stop by Brigs of Wake Forest for breakfast. It's a popular place so come early or prepare to wait. It took us about 20 minutes. The parking is ample and close enough to walk. Brigs has several tables and servers so they provide good service after entering. Our server came over quickly to give us our menu and to ask what we would like to drink We had 7 people in our party so lots of orders. The server got everything just right. As for the food, I had the Belgian waffles topped with strawberries and whip cream. On the side I had some bacon and eggs. The syrup that I poured on top was super delicious. I felt the inches around my waist expanding just smelling the food. The bottom line it was a great meal and excellent service. So you'all stop by Brigs and fill your tummies with an old fashion breakfast!

Food 4 out of 5 Service 3 out of 5 ( hear me out ) Ambiance 4 homely The food was well cooked and came out in a timely fashion. The service is where we get a bit of a draw back for me was the staff, we asked for several menu items that we never received and that was where the upset came. We had to ask for items we ordered multiple times. I think the restaurant is great but the service was not. I wish I could say differently but this was my experience I am sure yours will be better.

Absolutely lovely don't know how I've never heard of brigs before but way yummy and fair prices and lovely customer service.

Causal atmosphere. Busy in weekends. Wide variety on menu. Parking limited. Quick service

I enjoyed the house potatoes and English muffins. I did not enjoy the omelette because the eggs tasted precooked and powdered like eggs from McDonalds and fast food chains. I like fresh, real, cracked eggs in my omelettes. The presentation was right, but the taste was left. Also, I did not enjoy the orange juice. Overall, I will return again to dine soon.

Great spot. Solid food, with allot of variety. Consistently friendly staff. Well lit, easy so see your food, dining companions, and your way around. Apparently quite popular as I've never been (or driven past) and Brigs not be packed. That said, the wait is usually short if there is one.

I love this spot for brunch! It's a must do when in town. We were prepared to wait, and they quoted us 40 mins and it was about 45 when a table opened up. The hubby ordered the Waldorf chicken salad croissant and I ordered the county skillet. Our server was quick and attentive, and the food arrived very quickly for as busy as they were. ALL the food around us looked and smelled so good. They were festive for the holidays too with specials.

It's a really good breakfast place, in a great little town. You can eat a cheeseburger at 7:30 AM, if you so choose or you can have a regular breakfast. They do have a menu of the month that changes every month just to keep you on your toes. Also, the staff is great!

Great food and service. Always eat there when in WakeForest. They are open for breakfast and lunch.

Brigs was recommended to me and I finally went today. It is worth the wait. I went for breakfast. The restaurant is clean and breakfast was great. Everything was perfectly cooked, and the service was nice and friendly from everyone. The pricing is very reasonable. After going there, I understand why it is always busy. Can't wait to try it for lunch.

Thumbs up! The staff is excellent and the food is good. Best breakfast in Wake Forest

How to describe Brigs Consistent!!! Yes, that is the word we will use. Now consistency can be good or bad but in this case, it is good. There are more than one location as you might imagine, so naturally, Denny's, IHOP and chains with similar formulas came to mind, but this place is better. First, there is a Polish spin with Kielbasa added to the meat mix. Yum. Second, the quality and portions are solid. Not too much and not too little. The fruit on the side was very fresh. That is important. Very important. Our staff was on top of things and tables were spaced out very nicely given the current climate. Overall, this is a good and consistent breakfast place.

For a breakfast place its not bad, The prices are fair and the food was okay but i ordered a side of fruit and none of my fruit was ripped and i got strawberrys with my waffles and my strawberries were mushy, service was really nice tho

I always try to visit Brigs when in town! Food is incredibly delicious and so reasonably priced. Blake was my server at my most recent visit and he was impeccable ! Would highly recommend this place and will be eating here again in the future.

This is our first visit to Briggs and we really liked it. My husband loves a big breakfast on the weekends so I thought we would try it. We are still not eating in restaurants, so we got plates to go. We both got omelet platters. I had the Western and he had the Works. They came with choices for sides, I got home fries and English muffins. Hubby got home fries and toast. Both got a side of bacon (4 slices). Once we added salt and pepper the omelettes were great! My husband said his was full of meat and he didn't need the extra bacon. He also said the toast was really good. He liked the bread. I really enjoyed the flavors of the grilled veggies and ham with the eggs. The only thing that would have made this meal perfect was the home fries. They were a little under cooked. Other than that, delicious!

Always love this place! The service is great and yes the wait is worth it. Inside is relaxed and comfortable. The food is very reasonably priced in my opinion. The plating is always attractive and nice size servings. When I have the time, I'll always pick this place for breakfast when in wake forest.

Food and service are always very good here . But now I have a problem with the pricing . When you go in for the early bird special for a hot cake combo at $8.99 before 11:00 a.m. and get a bill for $16 and some change. Something is wrong. Ordered the pumpkin hotcakes, which cost me $4 extra, when it used to cost $2 extra something other than regular hot cakes . This is outrageous . I don't look forward to spending almost $17 for breakfast at a place that I have been a loyal customer for many years .

Had the waffle combo with scrambled eggs and potatoes. Highlight of my meal was the waffle and that it had the crisp edges and soft middle. Would recommend to try if you haven't already!

Jeffrey was an amazing waiter! We gave him a 40% tip!! Love Brigs! Wish we had one in Granville county.

In the mood for some good "down home" cooking' (whatever that means)? Brigs was definitely a vibe when it came to good food, great service, and a random building layout. The waitstaff were kind, attentive, and helpful. Good rotating specials keeps things fresh and a really good seasonal special menu makes this place interesting. Definitely my go-to spot for weekend brunch and breakfast. Try it and you'll see what I mean... delicious.

I just moved to wake forest and Brigs was recommended to me by several different people and it didn't disappoint! Great service and food, will definitely be back!

We love to get together with friends at Briggs. Great service, ambiance is fine and breakfast foods wonderful! Other items available but I am a breakfast all day person when able:)

Best in Wake but lines are killer. Omelets are to die for! Pancakes are fluffy and delicious.

Great brunch restaurant! Delicious food, broad menu, great service. Shrimp and grits were yummy! Expect to wait.

Been here quite a few times. Every single time I am pleasantly surprised. I ordered the triple meat eggs benedict with home fries and fresh fruit. The fruit is fresh cut and the home fries aren't deep fried. They're sautéed so they have some awesome flavor! My eggs Benedict was booked to perfection and the hollandaise sauce was absolutely perfect!! Dont hesitate trying this place because it's definitely a classic!

As always I've had nothing but great experiences at Brigs. The food is great as well as the staff that work hard to make each experience great! The atmosphere is inviting and the staff is all was welcoming.

So nice people it's so preppy the waiter is so nice no fishy in the pond and the bathrooms smell bab
