The Border Restaurant

I eat there regularly with a friend and with my church small group. I love the friendly, "diner" atmosphere reminiscent of the 60's. They have a large breakfast menu and I have enjoyed everything I've ordered.

A small, hometown restaurant,but don't expect Mayberry just because it's North Carolina. Food is good and simple. Cooked to order. Biscuits aren't homemade (pre-made frozen) but decent. Tea tasted from concentrate.

I ordered the Sunrise. The biscuit had an incredible balance of crunch around the outside and warm fluffiness in the middle. I loved it! Bacon could have been a little more “limp” lol idk how to explain it, but it was still good. I wasn’t a huge fan of the syrup only because it seemed a bit runny. The pancake however was delicious! We had bottled sodas which I liked and cups of ice.

I hate to be this guy, but if you're going to post that you close at 11:00am, please don't turn paying customers away at 10:54. I try not to go to places right at closing time, but I misread that the Saturday closing time was a little earlier than others...I thought we had at least half an hour. Maybe make your cut off time 10:45 or something and draw a hard line there. It just left me a little perturbed given the cost of things now and how important business seems to most restaurants.

A local fixture/favorite here in Wake Forest NC, for good reason. A cool old diner, wonderful staff, comfortable vibe. Generally speaking, the food is good and very reasonably priced, but no pun intended when I say that after ordering the petite sirloin with eggs, etc. yesterday morning, I do have a 'beef'....😉....See, I know the difference between a sirloin and a piece of pounded out flank steak, akin to what your average Mexican restaurant serves and pretends it's a steak, if you know what I mean. Everything else with the meal was excellent as usual....👍😉. Soooo, definitely put The Border in your regular rotation, just don't order a sirloin 🤨😉. Of course I'll be back soon, and they make a killer Western omelette 👍👍👍😉😉❤️❤️❤️❤️
