Big Ed's City Market Restaurant

Big Ed's City Market is an absolute treasure of North Carolina. Big Eds has served the best Southern brunch food in the state for decades, and it continues to have long lines of loyal customers every day. Our server Liz was exceptionally friendly and helpful, and recommended an absolutely mouthwatering dish to us: the Chicken Fried Chicken. She told us its so good she eats it for her free meal every shift, and it often sells out before the brunch rush even ends. This is a MUST HAVE dish! Big Ed's is one place I can't get enough of.

I like supporting local businesses when I'm in town for work and I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast. The flounder was seasoned well and fresh. The only thing I regretted was not getting another biscuit. Yummy 😋

The wait staff was an absolute delight and accommodating as I didn’t quite understand the “local items” on the menu. It’s got a cozy “very southern” diner menu with a restaurant feel. The location is quaint, historic and adorable. It’s definitely a place something you’d want on a visit to North Carolina.

We used to frequent big Ed back in 2004-2009 and our little girl loved talking to Mr. Ed as she called him. We LOVED IT!! Had not come back since we moved. The Service was EXCELLENT just like we remembered and so was the food!! The NC Mountain Trout was cooked perfection and the breading was amazing. Husband had the western omelette and it was very good, bacon was crispy just like we asked. Daughter had the country breakfast and everything was delicious. We shared a hot cake and it was delicious on it’s own no need to add anything to it. It was huge. If you like sweet tea this is one of the best with amazing ice that makes it even better.
