The pancakes were good. Ordered sausage as well, both the link and patty. I liked the patty better. French toast is more like a bread casserole, rather than slices, but was very good. It comes with spinach and fruit on the side. Ordered scrambled eggs and they were overcooked, but not terrible. I wish the meal came with the meat and eggs as part of the dish instead of having to order separately. Prices were very reasonable. Great atmosphere.

My husband and I are here for the weekend. We are originally from Texas. We look this place up and absolutely did not disappoint! Food was phenomenal!! Service was amazing! Loved being able to sit outside in the nice weather! Will definitely come back when we are here next!!

My family and I found this place back in march because I liked the outside. We found out quickly the food was delicious, and the service was even better. We left happy, full and wanting to come back next time we were in Raleigh. The other day we came back and once again Mecca didn’t disappoint. The mimosas were strong, the chicken was juicy and the hush puppies were perfect! We had another server this time & she was amazing. I unfortunately didn’t catch her name, but she was great. When I think of southern hospitality I think of my experience here. We will be back for sure!

Such a unique diner! It is over 90+ years old! The interior is from a world long gone by and so cozy! They have a delicious looking baked goods display and excellent brewed coffee. The best part of this diner though is the vibrant and friendly wait staff! They go above and beyond and even helped us find great tourist attractions nearby.

We loved our Sunday morning brunch at Mecca. Apparently if you get there early, there is no crowd. We got there around 9 and were among the first. Be warned though: the brunch menu on Saturday and Sunday is not the same as the weekday menu. We thought we were just going for biscuits, but they have a nice brunch menu on the weekend. We still wound up getting biscuits: bacon cheddar biscuits with sausage gravy. We added a side of country ham to complete the pork trifecta. Everything was delicious and staff was super friendly. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely delicious, nostalgic, and welcoming to all. Great service fast and delicious. Outdoor seating is available. Can’t wait to come back here. A true Raleigh gem. Food came fast and was delicious so I wasn’t able to take a picture I had a burger but next time I’m getting the BBQ chicken. Yum!

Placed the order at 12:20 and they started MAKING the order at 2 since the computer was “down” while the waitress kept coming back and telling us that the food is almost ready. They also messed up orders and had these weird pieces of bread for French toast. They further charged us full price for the food. The manager said he’d give us a discount and proceeded to give us 1 dollar off ??

Classic diner dive in downtown Raleigh. Wasn’t great but wasn’t bad either. It’s what you would expect from a no frills old school diner type place. They do have a full bar though. I ordered the western omelette is was basic but what I was expecting. They skimped on the hash browns. The service was good.

Good food & great vibe at an unexpected breakfast spot in the heart of the Capital, Raleigh, NC! One of the few spots that serves cornbeef hash! Pancakes are great. I love crispy edges & they do a great job with it but a miss on my last trip, hopefully they’ll get it right next time…these pics are from my 1st trip where they got the edges perfect!
