At 8:30 in the morning on a Wednesday this place was packed, but yet we were seated immediately waited on immediately, and the food came very quickly. One of us had biscuits and gravy with an egg and one of us had North Carolina country ham with two eggs and grits.
The eggs were properly cooked. The ham was a typical salty country ham, and quite good biscuits and gravy didn’t quite have the flavor. You might expect it was quite mild and the grits were a little bit. Runny certainly would not stick to a spoon, but would runoff kind of runny .
All in all the service, the food, the atmosphere well worth the price good place to have breakfast and most likely lunch as well .

Everything we ordered and ate was delicious. Their collards were very good and their banana pudding was delicious. Next time I'm home visiting family I'm going to stop back in!

What a cute, country restaurant right next to the AMAZING Farmers Market! The atmosphere was amazing, the customer service was OUTSTANDING! Not to mention the food we ordered was absolutely delicious!! The pulled pork, pickled beets, fried okra and biscuits were to die for, so tasty!!

Back in Raleigh again visiting my brother. Had to bring our kids to breakfast at the State Farmers Market Restaurant.

I was craving the country ham biscuit and it delivered as usual. Free biscuits at the table while waiting...but didn't wait long.

Food was great. Fun atmosphere as usual. Service was fast and friendly!

I finally made it over to the NC State Farmer's Market during 4th of July weekend. I arrived before 10:00 a.m. and had time to peruse all the plants, baked goods and fruits. Nothing really caught my eye, so I decided to head over for breakfast at the restaurant. The line was out the door in the 98 degree southern heat. It moved rather quickly and the hostess team provided wonderful southern hospitality. I must say, I love how coordinated the staff was in their green overalls and tops. You get the true country down- home experience here. This is a great choice to bring those who are visiting or new to the Raleigh area. We were seated near the hostess station and service was excellent. I decided on the famous fried bologna biscuit and added a scrambled egg to it with cheese grits. The biscuits are served very fresh and fluffy. My waitress Anne warned me that the serving size would be huge and the " size of a cat's head " and that it was ! So big I had to take half my biscuit home for lunch. The bologna was also thick and delicious. I enjoyed my iced coffee on this humid day. My neighbor enjoyed a Belgian waffle, sausage with breakfast potatoes. I will return because the service is excellent here. I would love to try dinner.

Great place to eat! So many choices! Loved the biscuits… Soft and hot! I ate the “Basic” breakfast with sausage gravy on the side. Everything came out at a perfect temperature. Very filling! Left satisfied.

Disappointed we do not have a place like this near where I live

Great place if you love a good southern breakfast. They are typically crazy busy, so there may be a moderate wait, but definitely worth the wait. The restaurant mixed with the farmers market is a great morning experience for a couple or a family. I believe I have eaten here 10 or 12 times. Just relocated from Charlotte about a year ago. Will be going back as often as I can.
