Falls River Cafe

Tasty Dominican-style food at this local spot.Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday. Table service is offered, with about 8 tables inside plus 6 outside on the patio. The menu is varied, with an extensive breakfast menu. We opted for a few sandwiches - a Cuban and a chicken Caesar wrap.Cuban sandwich is good. Mojo pork (pulled) is used instead of deli-sliced, which enhances this sandwich 100%. The meat is juicy and tender and spiced perfectly. Served with the usual ham, mustard, Swiss cheese and dill pickle. It's sloppy but delicious.Chicken Caesar wrap is huge! Big slices of chicken breast with lettuce, tomato caesar dressing and some avocado round it out.I'm excited to go back and try some more of the Dominican specialties.

Finally tried this place after our nail appointment next door. Our waitress was extremely helpful and gave us two great recommendations to try. We started off with 2 empanadas and even though both were good the beef was absolutely delicious. It was served with two sauces the green one included jalapeño and cilantro and was my favorite. For our entree we decided on the Dominican Picadera, which is Dominican fried chicken, pork, salami, and sausage. Everything was seasoned very well and although I enjoyed it, I'll be trying the Cuban sandwich next. Just a lil bit too much fried food at one time for myself. I will be coming back !

Exceptional restaurant. The service was kind, genuine, warm and endearing from start to finish. It was real and comforting. Next, the pork ribs, Cobb salad and OMG Fried Yucca was exceptionally good.A little FYI worth noting, you can get breakfast all day.Finally, the diverse selection of Dominican food with traditional American cuisine caters to all walks of life. This little gem is absolutely worth trying....again and again!

Nice local, no frills, place serving breakfast, lunch, and supper. Omelet was tasty. Menu offers a bit of everything. Six tables outside if that is what you are looking for. Desserts looked amazing but was to full to try.

Falls River Cafe is a new restaurant in N. Raleigh. It is small with two tables and seven booths. Your order is taken at the table but you pay up front. You can order breakfast, lunch, or dinner all day. The regular breakfast is two eggs and two sides. I asked as it wasn't clear on the menu.I did go here planning to eat breakfast, then saw the lunch menu. Then the waitstaff showed me the dinner menu and Dominican menu so I was overwhelmed with choices.The staff is friendly but the restaurant has a few kinks to work out. In our group of 10, they forgot one person's order and then when it was eventually corrected it wasn't what he had ordered even. Most of the others were done eating by that point. I still had food as I ordered a lot and eat slower.My food was good but not as I had ordered. I don't like onions so I ordered my dish without but it still came with onions. Thankfully I don't mind the flavor of onions and just don't like eating the actual onion and could pick these out from the beef. But my sweet potato fries were soaking up the onion flavor too. They didn't plate this well. they needed to be on the other side of the rice. The beef was good though.I had ordered a cheese empanada and a pork & pineapple one. The two I was brought were a pork one and a pineapple one. I'm not sure what happened to the cheese one or why the pork and pineapple weren't together. These were comped. I'm not sure if the issue was at ordering or in the kitchen. I'd eat here again as I think there is a lot of potential but will wait until they get things figured out.

This is such a cozy cafe that reminds me of a little hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere. Every time we stop by, we get waited on by the same awesome woman who makes sure to give us menu recommendations and she is just the sweetest! All staff have been friendly and kind. When you imagine their food, think of an old diner with an ethnic twist. I especially love their veggie omelets and chocolate chip pancakes, though.

Very disappointed. My wife and I arrived around 11:15 this morning and were seated outside. The table was covered with ants. After dealing with that issue we ordered breakfast. She had scrambled eggs that were overcooked. I ordered a western omelette which was served with sausage instead of ham ?? and was sitting in a pool of orange grease. We left without eating much at all. I will say that other entrees looked pretty good as we left. Maybe we ordered the wrong things??

Great Western omelette with added cut avocados. Very tasty. Coffee was meh, though. Service was brisk and friendly,.

Got 2 bacon breakfast wraps and one literally had no bacon on it. Definitely do not get to go orders from here. Go to a shop owned by Americans.

Evelyn was our waitress and most accommodating and friendly. I was surprised to see a Dominican menu Our choices were delicious, the presentation on each plate was beautiful. My husband had the Dominican breakfast and I had the Churrasco with chimichurri sauce.
