The atmosphere is cute. It’s like a modern cafe. It’s bustling and quite tight. Everyone was pleasant. The food was just ok. I ordered breakfast. Next time, I’m in Greensboro I will give it another try. My concern is with the up-charges. Server stayed I could sub a waffle for a signature pancake and she suggested beignets for my daughter’s birthday. Both came with a fee. Verbal communications would be greatly appreciated. Pancake not pictured because it was delayed. The turkey sausage wasn’t tasty at all. Requested bacon and they brought out bacon quickly. Unfortunately, it wasn’t hot. As I stated, I will return but this time I will order lunch.
Heard about this business via a family member! Every time I go, the place is crowded! The best way to get a seat is to make reservations! My wife and I tried this out and reluctantly, the "bark is much louder than the bite" for me! It felt like the Waffle House mixed with a "hole in the wall for me!" I had the carrot cake pancakes, a side of steak strips, sweet potato fries accompanied by miniscule pieces of catfish w/ pinto beans and rice! I had some tasty Jamaica(hibiscus,sugar) water and my wife had the Cucumber water! The food was hot, served quick but not anything that I would care to have second portions of! I didn't taste a piece of carrot nor any nuts as I know that these are prime ingredients in carrot cake! I did taste a hint of ginger/all spice seasoning. The cakes had cream cheese icing in them, but were extremely dry on the palate, and needless to say; discarded! My wife had a red velvet waffle which tasted moist and fulfilling versus my dry unfulfilling pancake! This was my 1st and probably my last visit to Dear Dad's! It was awfully overpriced and not worth the gas nor the hype! Thank you for the disappointing occasion!
Very good! Bf had the Skillet, he enjoyed it. I had the breakfast chilaquiles. The red salsa is SPICY, and will stain, be warned, but omg it was delicious! Beignets were ok, decent for what they were. Bf says coffee was superb! And omg the orange juice! It’s squeezed right in front of you and fresh! It has pulp, but you drink it like you’re eating the orange! We loved it. Staff were wonderful. It was busy, but in the good way: they’re popular and for good reason. 10/10 will come back
The last time we were in town, the wait was a bit too long for us to stay on a Sunday at brunch time, but Saturday lunch visit? Worked out great! 30 minute wait on a lovely day (although they do use text notifications, so on a bad weather day you could wait in your vehicle). Parking is a bit difficult but you can drive out the back of the lot if needed and come back around. Food was received pretty promptly for how freshly it was made, and our sever was excellent. I didn't get a pic of my BILs Reuben but he said it was very good. Excellent fries for his side. I had a classic plate with amazing potatoes, turkey sausage, and the side of strawberry jam! The scrambled eggs and toast were OK. I also tried the cucumber refresher which is pricey but, well, refreshing, and a free refill was offered. My spouse had the pork chop, broccoli, and mashed potatoes with gravy which were all good. With the exception, of my eggs and toast everything was super flavorful and tasty. It does get busy but everyone was super nice. Small but clean restrooms. A variety of indoor and outdoor seating although limited as noted. Will definitely be back! I hear rumors they have a second location coming?? I'd love them to come to the Charlotte area.
Really enjoyed myself. The server Jenny was so kind and accommodating! The music was fun, not too loud! The food came out fast no long waiting time! Overall really enjoyed myself, my third time coming here and it’s been amazing each time. The food never disappoints! The Cajun pasta and ceaser salad was soooo good!! 10/10
