Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Fuquay-Varina

What a pleasant brunch! We were seated right away with our reservation and our server greeted us immediately. He provided superior, polite service our entire meal. The food was top notch! The fried green tomatoes were a hit! Everything we had was really good, and at a very reasonable price. Can’t wait to go back!

Irregardless is a gem; it’s certainly a neighborhood gem but many travel from all parts of Raleigh and beyond. At Sunday brunch, I organized a family gathering for six and for a service dog (he partook of some bacon). Three of us were visiting and one is from Durham who is a a vegan and was most appreciative of the menu choices. The wait staff was fabulous, especially considering the restaurant was full up. And we all loved our food selections which quickly arrived. The venue has a friendly vibe and we enjoyed the live music. We will return again and again.

Rey’s did not disappoint again tonight. We’ve been several times, and we keep returning because the food and service is exceptional. I had the 8 oz filet, and my husband had the 16 oz ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection. The lobster mac and cheese is always our favorite side. Lots of lobster tonight. I ordered the Black Beauty for a cocktail (first time), and it was delicious.

We drove an hour to enjoy our Valentines dinner here and had a fantastic time. The setting was quiet and upscale. The food was amazing and everyone who helped us was friendly and professional. Our main server, Matthew, did his job to perfection. He was friendly, helpful and patient. I saw him watching us as he made his way around the room helping other diners, then approached us when he sensed we needed something, were ready to make our next order, or prepare the food we had not finished to take home. Third visit made us want to return more frequently. Thanks to Rem, Matthew and the whole tan for making this a memorable experience!

We had a wonderful time at dinner the night before Valentines Day. Our waiter took care of us and the food was impeccable as always. We enjoy the understated atmosphere and it all together made for a great meal.
