  Wonderful Southern breakfast right in Downtown Raleigh. No frills place with checkered tablecloths and old trinkets and NC memorabilia scattered all over the walls.
  
  The bacon & cheddar omelette served with breakfast potatoes was stellar ($12.50)- neither side was overcooked and their bacon is quality and thick cut. Breakfast potatoes were darn near small french fries, which is always welcomed. Additional rye toast and bottomless coffee as well. I was able to convince my fiance to split a hotcake the size of the plate! ($8.50). Split-worthy indeed. It was thick and fluffy as a hotcake should be.
  
  Was completely satisfied with our breakfast and the prices were actually pretty adequate, especially being in downtown. The hotcake is a little steep, but understandable for how filling it is. Highly recommend Big Ed's for a solid breakfast.

  If you are a local or traveling to Raleigh do yourself a favor and stop in! The food was so good that the plate was cleared completely off!! The catfish was cooked to perfection and left a lasting taste and memory all day unto the night. Our waitress Kathy was the best hands down when we go again we would request her by name. She made us feel right at home and it was not an act she genuinely loves the customers she treated every table like they were family. Please tell me you’re still reading this review because you’re on your way to the restaurant! The surrounding downtown area is suited perfectly for all people! There is a place for your dog, your kids, or jump on a scooter! You won’t regret coming to Big Ed’s! If I could rate higher than 5 stars it would be 10/10

  Big Ed’s City Market is a must-stop for a classic North Carolina breakfast. The vibe is casual and old-school, the portions are huge, and everything feels like real comfort food. I got a hearty plate with eggs and sides, and the biscuits were the kind you come back for—soft inside, a little crisp outside, and perfect with gravy. Service was friendly and kept things moving even when it was busy. If you’re in Raleigh and want a filling, no-frills breakfast with great flavor, this place delivers.

  Shout out to Cathy for amazing customer service!!! From start to finish she was awesome to me and my three friends! I couldn't even get a picture of all the food because we started eating it when it came to the table! We will be back again! 🙌🏾 Pictured is the banana pudding!

  Great spot for a meal! 🍳🥞🍔 Something for everyone, with basic fresh food. My breakfast of eggs and French toast was good, eggs just right. Others had burgers, though the burger and fries were a bit too salty for my taste. 🧂 The service was super friendly! 😊 Atmosphere was okay; not a fan of things hanging overhead (felt a bit dirty), but it fits the country style. Forgot to snap photos this time! 📸 #Food #Breakfast #Burgers #Service #Atmosphere
