Brigs at the Crossing

This was my second time visiting this restaurant as we live in Phoenix, Az and only get to the area two or three times a year. The first time we searched Unilocal looking for a good place for breakfast and decided on Briggs. The service was great but the food was greater. On our next visit to Cary, we knew we would visit Briggs. This time they had Pina Colada French Toast as the special. Since coconut and pineapple together are one of my favorite flavor combinations I couldn’t resist. I added scrambled eggs and a slice of Country Ham, I was not disappointed, my meal was awesome. My husband had the chocolate chip pancakes with pecans and whipped cream. His combo included scrambled eggs, bacon and he opted for the pork sausage patty instead of the turkey links. The pancakes were soft, fluffy and full of flavor. My husband who is a chef said they tasted like they were made from scratch not from a box. Again, the service was great, the atmosphere is very relaxed and we both felt this was a great value for the money… we will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

Good stuff. Wish they’d bring the gingerbread pancakes back. Best pancakes I ever had. Check their menu for the monthly specials.

Was pretty bad to awful, we had a party of 4 in at lunch time. Two senior bite burgers, one breakfast and one full size burger. Three of the items took about 25 minutes to arrive which surprised us since it was pretty empty.
The full size burger took almost 35 minutes to make its way to the table and when it arrived it had a long piece of hair comic from the meat. We had to wait almost ten minutes to get the attention of the waitress and they put in another order. Never got a Oh my god! or I’m sorry, they just took the plate and left.
I had to wait another 30 minutes for the replacement to finally show up, they acted like it was no rush at all and don’t put the order ahead if anyone. Everyone else in the party had finished and they cleared the table while I still waited on the replacement burger.
While it did finally arrive, the lunch was ruined. Everyone waited for me to finished and the order wasn’t even correct on the re-​fire. The burger was over cooked and quickly thrown together.
While they did comp the burger, I ate the fries and only a small part of the burger. It just wasn’t that good and the hair just killed it for me.

For an early breakfast on a weekday you simply CANNOT beat the breakfast specials @ 6.49 that they offer at Briggs.
I had the griddle pancake plate which includes 2 LARGE pancakes, scrambled eggs and 4 pieces of (my requested) very crispy bacon. It was all super tasty and as you can see from my pic, there is enough left for my mid morning snack.
My husband had an omelette. This comes with your choice of side. He chose (crispy) home fries. They were soooooo goooood !!! Luckily I only had a few bites. This also came with an English muffin.
You can’t go wrong here for a weekday breakfast. Of course weekends are some of the same great food for just a few more $$. to Briggs !

Always a fan of their home fries and their waffles. I have tough time to try anything other their Pecan waffles — the best I have had. Their omelettes are fluffy. I have tasted their Alaskan and their Mediterranean. The hollandaise sauce is they key for the taste. My wife always praises on how they marry the hollandaise sauce with the other ingredients in their omelettes. I have never liked their hot chocolate — it tastes more like swiss miss chocolate.
Bottomline: Omelettes with they home fries. And pecan waffle to finish it off :)

Try the skillets– the rest of the food is just your average breakfast fare but the skillets are good. We got there at 10 on a Sunday and walked right in. Great fast service and good prices. I would go again when in the area.

I’ve been avoiding going to Brigg’s since my last visit to the Durham location. I always thought the food there was just OK. But it’s been a while, and I heard about cinnamon-​raisin pancakes with cream cheese frosting and decided to give it a try. The Cary location was most convenient for everyone in my party, so we went there.
I was pleasantly surprised with the food. I usually don’t order eggs Benedict due to some mediocre experiences with it at nicer restaurants, but decided to give it a try (the heading promised award winning eggs Benedict). I’m glad I did! The Chesapeake Benedict was awesome. Tender crab cakes on top of lightly toasted fresh English muffin, perfectly cooked basted eggs (I like my yolk runny) and the hollandaise sauce with just a hint of horseradish were delightful. I enjoyed every bite. I chose home fries as my side and they were pretty good. Definitely cooked this morning as opposed to the day before like a lot of places do (yes, I can taste the difference).
My boyfriend had The Knight skillet with basted eggs, which is his favorite. Judging by the empty plate at the end of the meal, I think he was pretty happy with it. The skillet meals are easily modifiable, by the way, which is good news for picky eaters.
Let’s talk about those pancakes though. Heaven! Soft and fluffy, spotted with large tender white raisins, they would be good by themselves with a bit of syrup and butter, but the cream cheese frosting was by far the most perfect addition. Light and creamy, not overly sweet, it complimented the flavor of the pancakes perfectly. This is a monthly special though, so hurry up and try it by the end of January. I will definitely be back for those.

I love Brigs and their Brigs Benedict but sad that they don’t carry regular Texas Pete or other selections of hot sauce. The Hotter Hot Sauce Texas Pete is too hot! But that won’t stop me from coming to Brigs, I’ll just have to be like grandma and put my own hot sauce in my purse.

This place is pretty good. I had the bacon and cheese omelet with potatoes and toast with an iced tea. That was all under $ 10. Friendly staff.

I ordered the platter which had bacon eggs and English muffin and home fries. It was good but nothing amazing. The service was great and the staff was friendly and I felt the price was reasonable. We came at 9:30 a.m. on a Friday and there was no wait which was great because usually when I Drive by there is a line out the door. I will definitely come back here again. They have a great variety of breakfast menu option

I don’t understand the glowing reviews. If you go in with extremely low expectations you might be surprised, but otherwise this place is basically a diner, and not an awesome one at that. I would go so far as to say I’ve had better breakfasts at IHOP. I am a huge fan of the Waffle House for breakfast so I don’t think it’s a case of high standards.
My wife and I were really hoping for more at Briggs, since we’ve been looking for a nice brunch spot in Cary. After reading the reviews I was hoping for something down-​home style but nothing fancy.
First of all we had pretty good service. Our server was friendly and prompt, so no issues there. Ambience was also pretty cozy. Just a local place in a strip mall, but it had a nice local feel. Those were the positives…
When we sat down and got water I got a large glass and my wife got a tiny one, which had some bug or something floating in it. The coffee was okay, served in a small, but pretty dingy, thermos. A bad start but for a local place I can roll with it.
I had the country scrambler which was passable but overall just some eggs, cheese and other bits thrown in a casserole dish and possibly microwaved or otherwise maybe sitting around a bit. It was okay — this is breakfast so I’m not expecting the world — but definitely not fresh or worth coming back for.
My wife had a waffle with fruit on it. Not a crazy order or expectation, but it ended up being the kind of waffle you make yourself at a Holiday Inn Express with some pretty obviously frozen fruit that had been thawed thrown on top, making the middle pretty soggy.
If it weren’t for the local atmosphere and friendly waitress I’d be giving this place one star. Disappointing to say the least.

The food is great but the staff can be very unproffesional. When you do a call in order they have often given one price then another price if someone elses anwers and take my order another time. they are not consistent and it gets really aggravating when one day your paying 7.59 for a meal then the next day at the same time your paying 11 buck for the exact same thing you ordered the day before!@

The breakfast here is absolutely out of this world and totally affordable. On the last visit the order consisted of a skillet, the fancy home fries, a ginormous waffle and a side of bacon and came in under $ 20. The quality of the food way surpasses the price. It’s been a regular stop since discovery for me.

I absolutely love this place. It may take about 20 mins to go over the entire menu but the selection of breakfast foods they have is nothing short of fantastic. My favorite item is the Mediterranean omelet. It comes with Hollandaise sauce, Kalamata olives and a nice thick filling of creamed spinach. The homefries are also very good. We usually get take out but have been in several times, the service is very good and the waitress are prompt. Hot coffee and damn good breakfast food, way better than IHOP and Waffle House doesn’t have a clue!

This place is amazing for breakfast. Everything is always fresh and cooked to perfection!

Been going here almost every Sunday for over 15 years. So it’s either I’m a serious glutton for punishment or the food and service are awesome… It’s the latter!

There was about a 20 minute wait to get in when we arrived with our group of four, but once seated, there was no lack of service that might have been expected (and forgiven) due to a fully packed restaurant. Coffee and water refills came quick, and we didn’t wait too long for our meals to arrive.
I ordered a skillet, and had no complaints. It was delicious, and I would certainly order it (or another) again.

Had a hankering for breakfast at 1 in the afternoon, so I decided to check out this place right next to my gym. Wasn’t disappointed.
The service was warm and friendly — like I’ve been coming here for years. From the minute I walked in the door to the minute I exited, I was in great hands.
Ordered the blueberry pancake combo — which was above average but not spectacular. Damned with feint praise, I know. The pancakes and topping were exceptional, but the eggs and pork sausage looked pre-​prepared and took away from the magic of the flapjacks.
Best part of the trip — as I left the owner was lamenting her point of sale system problems to a co-​worker. She looked at me exasperatedly and said «you aren’t a computer guy are you?». In fact I am and we talked for a couple minutes about how to fix the problem she was having.
Will definitely be returning.

Average breakfast fare. I indulged in the southern style chicken and waffles. The menu references maple syrup, but is included in their «special blend».i.e. Not real maple syrup. Airy waffles and crispy chicken hit the spot. My wife had the namesake Benedict her only complaint was the skimpy quantity of hollandaise sauce. Prices were fine, and ambiance was standard strip mall fare.

I don’t get the negative reviews. My entire extended family loves this place. Pancakes the size of the moon. Combo platters to make even a lumberjack happy?
Hot cocoa with whipped cream.
Eggs Benedict and monthly specials on omelets?
It’s all good here.
Maybe the coffee isn’t super awesome, and maybe the wait is a little long on a weekend morning. But that’s easily fixed, get there before 9:30 AM and you’re good to go.
And seriously, think thrice before getting the 3 stack of ‘cakes. That’s a lotta food y’all.
