Border Restaurant

It's very much a classic American breakfast house experience. Friendly, experienced staff serving all the regular breakfast foods like pancakes and omelets.Prices are excellent and portions plentiful but they only have sodas by the bottle so expect to pay for refills.NOTE: if you are at ALL offended by a business that loves America, this isn't the place for you.

Must stop for family home cooked breakfast! When you walk in, you seat yourself. My husband and I were visiting a friend and they recommended this place for breakfast. Our waitress Lisa was fantastic. The prices take you back in time! Such a cute place, they have a bar to sit at, they have a train in the window on the left side. You would not believe how much seating is available inside from the looks on the outside.My husband ordered the mountain man. The bacon is cooked to perfection. Order lots of bacon! I ordered the Polish omelette with a side of corn beef hash. The corn beef hash was good. Also, order a side of their apple butter for the buttery biscuits. Parking was available across the street. Be careful crossing the street to enter the restaurant.

We had another delicious breakfast this morning...great food, endless coffee and wonderful, friendly service. Very reasonable prices too. Veggie omelette was huge, Cattleman's country ham spot on and not too salty, eggs and biscuits perfect as always! Also enjoy stepping back in time with the classic diner ambiance.Isn't it time for you to make a run for The Border!!!

Buckle up buttercup-this ain't no avocado toast flingin' fancy smancy first meal of the day place. If down home Americana needed a picture by it's definition in a dictionary or wikipedia this place would be a prime candidate. It's an old school dinner and lunch place that slings it old style. I'd best describe it as the kinda breakfast your grandma would make if she were alive.Eggs every which wayFried potatoes-you must get them!PancakesToastBreakfast meatsSausage gravyIt's all there. Sensitive types should note, this is the kinda place one might expect to see Fox and Friends, Pete Hegseth doing a remote and interviewing people about what's so freaking messed up with this Country....Service is fast, no frills and the team looks like they've been there since NIxon was in the White House, some may have even voted for him! Good breakfast food at fair prices, worth your time and moolah.

Old style, , classic, vintage ..... that's definitely what comes to mind when I think about Border. The next word that comes to mind is " cheap" !! Man I can't believe how cheap this place is ..... it was 4 of us having breakfast and the bill didn't even make it to $30. $30 is what I pay for 2 people at any other breakfast place. And what about the quality ? Was I blown away ? Nope, it was just ok though and if I would have had to pay more I would be complaining. So basically the quality was on par with the price. If you are looking for a modern, franchise looking breakfast place then don't go, you'll be disappointed. If you want to try breakfast at a place with a small town feel then give it a shot. Definitely an interesting place. Will I come often? Probably not because menu is pretty basic for me but I like to support local businesses so I'll visit once in a while.

Old school diner offering breakfast classics. Not somewhere you will go seeking ambiance, but if you are looking for a good breakfast at a reasonable price, then this is your spot. Service was attentive and friendly, food was as expected, and coffee was hot and plentiful. Will be back again.

Keep it simple! Eggs, bacon potatoes and a biscuit. The place does the simple breakfasts and lunches right. They offer a nice selection of omelettes and combo platters. The Polish omelet with the kielbasa is a favorite of mine, sometimes. My neighbors and I have become regulars on Saturday mornings. It's always a nice experience. The "cawfee" is endless and there is no rush here. It is truly a throwback greasy spoon restaurant that I kinda miss these days. And here is a tip, they open at 4am. If your in Wake Forest and want a simple and satisfying meal, definitely check them out.

The cutest little breakfast place in town. It's a little hole in the wall on north main. My husband and I love this place. The staff is pretty much the same. They all very friendly and sweet. They talk up my kids. The prices are great too. It's so inexpensive here compared to most places in town. The owners come pretty often too. It just has such a family atmosphere and I feel so welcome when I'm here. I cannot explain it in words that will do it justice. The food is great. I've never ordered anything I didn't like. My husband typically gets an omelette and everything is perfect. They have good coffee too. Don't miss this hidden gem in wake forest. It's so good and I love supporting small businesses.

READ THIS BEFORE YOU COME! :) Hello everyone my name is Julia, some of you may know as a former waitress here at the Border Restaurant! I do dearly miss all of my customers. I'm back at my regular job finally! But very unfortunately, months before that, the manager here, Valerie, decided to let me off of the job because i was late to work to be exact, 2 times. I can acknowledge that i was obviously very wrong for my actions, regarding my reasoning, i still have no excuse to ever be late for work without calling in before hand. So my apologies! However, I would greatly appreciate if you would accept my warnings I'm about to bring to the table before coming here. And i'm not writing this because i was let off, i'm writing this because the person who actually cared about this place won't ever be there again to help their customer's out. I'll go ahead and say the food, amazing. I loved the food here! I can also communicate to you all that their kitchen is very clean and they do take that very seriously. However... let's talk about all the ladies that work here :/ My very FIRST DAY working here as a server, as an 18 year old girl, working here with much older elderly ladies, I was cheated out of my tip money that was split upon three people as in Vicky, Michelle, and I. Michelle thought it would be smart to steal 20$ of my tips and split it among her and Vicky. I could always tell Vicky was the quiet one. She was pretty nice, it was always Michelle that started gossip and being that Vicky had been her friend for decades she kind of just goes along with it. So yeah the next day Vicky came up to me and returned my money to me saying she apologized. I felt bad because i knew it wasn't her idea. They returned the money to me to begin with because I said something to my manger that i suspected it. She told me word for word "Oh they definitely stole your money. They are those types of people" You're probably wondering, how come they didn't get fired for literally stealing my money? I know right. But it gets better! These ladies stole my money damn near everyday, I never said anything or confronted them because I just never felt like it was worth it. Maybe they were struggling and needed it more than me. Even though i'm struggling too, I know that i at least have God in my life and very close to my heart. I knew he would take care of them for me. To continue, All these ladies do is talk horrifically about every single one of you customers that walk through that door. Even the manager did sometimes, TO ME! They do nothing but complain about you all, i don't care how long you have known them whether it was years or decades, I promise you they don't have your back and they care nothing about you except your money. If you knew me you knew i genuinely formed deep connections with my customers and i genuinely cared about them all. If you know me you know!!! It's so disgusting how they treat you all and i quit once before because of how nasty they were to not only you guys but to me too because i was young and all of the customers loved me, maybe they never thought it was because i actually give good service. Not just because i was young. One time, there were 2 women having breakfast with us that heard one of the ladies talk crap about them as she was walking off and they confronted her in front of the whole restaurant. It was so embarrassing. Anyways I just want to warn you all in advance that you can come here and you can give your money to these people if you want to, but they disgust you behind closed doors and will make fun of you and paint a picture of you to everyone that works here whether it's that you smell weird, you stink, you look funny, etc. They are horrible people. And to those who thought of me dearly, I'm still thinking of you and i won't ever forget any of you. You all play such a beautiful part in my life. It isn't fair that I can no longer have my job here because i was late twice, but at least I never stole my coworkers money or talked horribly about any of you. I care so much about people. Oh and deeply consider that the manager here, Valerie knows alllllll about every bit of this! Matter of fact she even talks crap WITH the girls after hours, about you all! It was much better over a year ago when Jerry was still running the place. He's a great guy and gives the service that is deeply deserved. Too bad he's gotten too old to take care of the place anymore. I will be praying over everyone at this restaurant to find peace in their lives, i hope it's not too late. Ps. If you do still come here, keep in mind the dishwasher lady comes and busses down tables to help with the servers as you may see sometimes, especially when it's busy, but while she does that she is snagging all of the tip you just left on the table for herself. She's also a thief.

I had breakfast there this morning. It had been many years since I'd last been. Honestly, I seldom eat breakfast. The food was so good! The place is old but very clean. Sanitation rating is 98.5. This is going to be my breakfast go-to from now on.
