Breakfast AF

Stopped in with friends while visiting the area and was looking for a unique breakfast spot and this place was a great find. Staff was welcoming and explained the process clearly: order at the counter, grab a pager, and sit wherever there’s space. Seating looks limited up front, but there’s plenty more in the back, including a bar area and outdoor seating. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food was excellent. The chicken and waffles were juicy and flavorful (not dry like you sometimes get elsewhere). Overall, a really good experience and definitely worth checking out for breakfast.

We ordered chicken and waffle which was too delicious, freshly prepared. Paneer anda avocado toast was a decent option for vegetarian. Homestyle potatoes were good too. Not to be missed was Vietanamese coffee.

Exceptional food in a casual, welcoming space. Counter serve/pour your own drinks/bus your own table, but with friendly and attentive staff to guide you. My food came out fast, but couldn't have been further from fast food. Cheesy potato rounds were exactly that, perfectly fried. Smoked pork corn cake was delicious and a lot of fun; so many nods/combos on the plate, pork+egg+pancake=breakfast, pork+pickled onion=NC BBQ, cornmeal+pork=southern, pork+onion+corn=street taco, savory pork+ sweet pancake=chicken+waffles' second cousin. Pricing is super fair for the quality, and portions aren't lacking either. Looking forward to my next visit.

A self serve restaurant, but didnt realize how self serve it was. Watched many patrons clean tables themselves before sitting, and the coffee was luke warm at best (at 9 am) it was a bit chilly and rainy the day of my visit so it wasn't very busy at that time, so I'm going to consider the coffee had been sitting since opening. The woman at the counter did let us know where to find menus and to seat ourselves then come order, but when she said it was self serve I wasnt aware HOW far that statement went, but you're pretty much doing it all yourself except the cooking, right down to cleaning your own table, even before sitting down. I can see why other reviews say they felt treated differently because of certain reasons, but I honestly think its the staff have zero customer service skills. I watched a woman ask if they had ketchup and the man running just pointed and grunted towards a shelf. It wasnt a very good dining experience for us.

The menu is bold and fun—I ordered the tacos & cheese grits I added as an extra side. The vibe of the place is casual but energetic, and the staff was friendly without feeling rushed. Prices felt fair for the quality and creativity of the food. If you're looking for something different from the usual eggs-and-bacon routine, Breakfast AF delivers something bold & a little cheeky. Just do yourself a favor and don’t skip the taco & cheese grits.
