“ If you haven't been to this great establishment, you don't know what you're missing.. because they don't miss... we had the fried catfish, carrot cake pancakes, grits, vegan sausage, and eggs. Oh and a biscoff latte(oat milk) and brown sugar latte... both drinks was fire. The customer service is even better than the food, if you have a chance to request a server, request Tenisha... she definitely was holding her whole area down and checking up on everybody constantly to make everyone feel welcomed. I'll definitely come back here when I'm in the Greensboro area. ”
“ This was my first time at Dear Dad’s and I will say it definitely lives up to the hype!!!! My breakfast food was seasoned to perfection, served hot and decent portion sizes. Staff were friendly and inviting. This atmosphere was nice and aesthetically pleasing, small seating areas but the food quality makes up for it. I will be back to try to try the dinner menu. ”
“ Dear Dad’s is a breath of fresh air! Our first time coming here we had a bit of a wait and were offered a beverage while we waited which was a very nice touch. The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The coffees and teas we ordered were well made and the meals were delicious. Love the variety available here, the ambiance, and the food! Definitely worth a visit if you get a chance, but be ready for a wait because this place is bustling! I will add that parking can be a bit tricky so be prepared for that. ”
“ I went to Dear Dad’s for dinner and had such a wonderful experience! The waitress, Katie, was awesome! So kind, attentive, and helpful. She recommended a few dishes, and I ended up going with the bourbon shrimp and salmon along with sautéed green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. Everything was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly! As a foodie, I can be pretty particular, especially when it comes to seafood- and this meal did not disappoint! The shrimp and salmon were both high-quality, fresh, and delicious! The sides were equally tasty, and the portions were just right. The price point reflected the quality without being over the top, which I really appreciated. All around, a fantastic experience. I’ll definitely be back! ”
“ My son decided we try this place and I told him I didn't know what all the fuss was about. Well now I know!!! The food and service was simply amazing. Those red velvet pancakes/waffle (yes, we had both) will take you to another world. If you can get in, this is definitely a 10 out of 10. ”
