Drove here at 4:30 PM on a Tuesday. Online it says they are open 7:30 AM - 10:00 PM; however, they are closed. Please update your hours of operation so more people dont waste their time and gas.

We were in Raleigh for the Hopscotch Festival yesterday and literally happened upon this restaurant. First off, its SO CHARMING. The aesthetic inside and out is so classic. Turns out it was sold last year by the family who ran it for 88 YEARS. Thankfully, the new owner didnt gut it. Its gorgeous and the architecture and fixtures alone are amazing to see. The wait staff was very pleasant and attentive. I had the veggie plate, and it was delicious!!! I especially like the mac and cheese and the fried okra. My friend had the cheese burger, and it looked great, even though I dont eat meat. We had sweet tea; I had mine half and half. It was great. Definitely super happy we found this gem right near the city plaza and were able to experience and support a locally owned establishment rather than a chain restaurant. Will definitely eat here again next time Im in Raleigh.

This place is great. I had to pay a traffic ticket yesterday and when I left the court house I thought Id walk around and find something to eat. Not sure where to go I asked a random guy and he said I should check out Meccas and pointed directly behind me. From the outside it almost looks like an old hole in the wall movie theater. Inside rather were some on the best pancakes and bacon I had even been served at a restaurant. Usually the pancakes go a bit cold because the bacon takes a second longer to cook but not the case here. Everything was hot and delicious. Im pretty sure they let me order from the Sunday menu because I wanted brunch which was awesome if them but dont just expect it because they did it for me maybe they had some bacon that would have gone bad before Sunday and didnt mind who knows. BUT great atmosphere and service! Definitely would recommend 5 out of five stars my friend.

Our first time visiting Mecca. Definitely a hidden gem in downtown Raleigh. The atmosphere is like a old time styled diner. The have 2 levels so me as a parent love the fact that upstairs is a little bit private so my toddler doesnt disturb the peace. I had Beef Tips on rice & gravy, w/ a side of fruit. My husband had the Chopped Pork w/ fries. We both enjoyed our dishes very much our server Kincannon was superb. We will return & try other dishes. Pricing was excellent

Lovely little restaurant, quick service, and low cost as well. I cant speak for weekends, but I went during the week and there was one other person and a family and the rest of the place was empty. Perfect for a nice quiet start to the day.

Stunning Mesozoic era dining hall with frightening Art Deco gargoyles extracted from the ruins of Martha Stewart’s lost sex dungeon. The upstairs bathroom features a small sink which is next to a paper towel dispenser which is next to a hand soap dispenser which is next to a fire extinguisher filled with sweet sweet dolphin blood. The collard greens are super dank and they are packed with the nutrients you need for a successful armed robbery or dance contest.

Their chicken is cooked per order. The food prices are cheap. Service was bad and food takes a long time. We saw two waitresses get into a quarrel.

North Carolina comfort food is delicious! Ive heard about the Mecca my entire life (over 5 decades) as a place where politicians informally met to hammer out compromises. This past week brought my first visit and I was not disappointed. Everyone in my group choose Eastern NC pork barbecue, which is vinegar based. Though it was a bit sweeter than the typical recipe, it was good. The collard greens were unquestionably the best Ive ever had, despite the fact that I grew up in a home that served them often. The waitress and restaurant manager were friendly, and even shared (in detail) be how to cook the collard to get someone results. I gave four stars because the restaurant itself is a step into the past. It hasnt been updated in decades and could use a fresh coat of paint.

After getting no service at another place downtown we were surprised to get such great service at a place we happened upon. Established in 1930, the decor will give you old school Raleigh vibes. Theres even an autographed photo of Cherie Berry who has kept our elevators safe for years. Anyways, the seating, ordering and eating process took 24 minutes at 2 p.m. on a Sunday. The biscuits and gravy were flavorful, the pancakes were thick, the turkey bacon properly crisped, and the egg and cheese croissant was warm through the last bite. Id highly recommend them for a laid back brunch in the heart of downtown.

Very nice service and great fried chicken!

Delicious food. Great cooking, easy going staff and delicious fried chicken. Cleaned the plate.

The service was great and the food is amazing! The biscuits OMG ate to die for!! A shout out to th general manager Crystal great she is an awesome gm but an even a greater person! Just an awesome experience at Mecca😊💯

Wonderful old fashion perfect Southern breakfast with an ambience which transports you to 1930s. A must visit in Raleigh NC..friendly, accepting, easy-going.

Wanted to try and get out of the line properly during brewgaloo. So bought a side what I got was barely 2 mouthfuls

Calling a restaurant “The Mecca” sounds like the height of hipster pretention, but this place is very much the opposite. Founded by Greek immigrants in 1930, The Mecca is as old-school as old-school gets with classic décor, a comfortably familiar menu, and competent execution all-around.While there are definitely more chic and comfortable places to dine, The Mecca oozes nostalgia. Red stools along a long counter, a black and white checkered floor, and heavy wooden booths give the look of a place untouched by time. The menu is equally immune to faddishness, offering Southern favorites (fried chicken, fried fish, and chopped BBQ), a few nods to the founders’ heritage (a Greek salad and Zorba’s beef tips), and the eyebrow-raising Garry Dorn burger (a veal cutlet sandwich).Hungry from wandering around GalaxyCon, my wife and I bypassed sandwiches in favor of platters: fried fish and BBQ, respectively. Both came with a hushpuppy, slaw, and two sides (mac n cheese for both of us, butter beans for her, and fried okra for me). While neither dish was attractively plated, both tasted considerably better than they looked. After decades, The Mecca has making this kind of food down to a science. Both the fish and the okra were fried to a golden brown sans greasiness, the slaw was creamy, and the BBQ was not dried out. Admittedly, vinegar-based is not my preferred style, but The Mecca’s was as good as a rendition of that type as I’ve had anywhere.For three quarters of the meal, service was courteous, prompt, and attentive. However, we made the mistake of ordering a blackberry cobbler after The Mecca got busier, and the dessert took so long to reach us that they ended up comping it. At under $3, it still would have been worthwhile, and much of The Mecca’s menu is similarly value-conscious. Both lunch dishes were under $10 apiece, and while the fried fish contained a disappointingly small amount of fish, there was still enough on the plate for a filling meal.The Mecca is the kind of time-displaced icon that everyone should try at least once, but for those who are willing to trade innovation for simplicity, it’s more than just a novelty act.

Im glad this place is still going strong after all these years. I love the diner classics menu but I wish they still served breakfast all day. Now they just serve breakfast for Sunday brunch. Under new owners, they now have evening hours, & serve alcohol. Prices have gone up. $25 is too much for a diner lunch for 2!

I’ve been going to Mecca for years now! Always a pit stop during Brewgaloo or after NYE celebrations. Fantastic diner experience with a small town charm. You might have to squeeze into the booths though 😉

Been in business for 90 years. It shows. Great food and a great price. Wonderful staff to boot. The building is awesome and they have an old ham. Go and see it for yourself

Food was excellent. Closest thing to your grandmas kitchen. Great prices, portion sizes and vibe. Although it is the oldest restaurant in Raleigh, it is very clean and has maintained the vintage character from the time period. First time there and will definitely not be my last. Thank you for an amazing experience.

One of the best old school restaurants in Raleigh. Food has been constantly good for the last 20 years I have been going there. Their Cheese Burger is perfect. Meat and 2 for lunch. Never disappoints.

Staff was friendly and helpful with our group of 7, half of which were children. Food was great, home cooked type. I got fried chicken with rice and gravy, mashed potatoes and gravy and fries and that was the best bang for my money I could ever ask for. All of it was amazing.

I have been here a couple of times. I know it is a historical old place and that has its charm but I find the menu very limited and the help is spotty.Portion sizes are on the small side and although prices are reasonable, you dont leave there feeling like you ate much of anything.They need to have more going for them than just being a historical building.The menu on the website is old and does not match current day...

Love this place. Had the spaghetti and meat sauce with one of their signature cocktails from the 20s. So fun! Filling and laid back. Tony is awesome and told me about the daily specials. Had a new employee tonight as a server (sorry cant remember your name - maybe Juliet?) that was so friendly and helpful. This is my new favorite spot!

If I had to drown in a soup it would be New England style clam chowder from the Mecca.

Loved coming here for breakfast, the prices were absolutely cheap for great home-made food. The pancakes were delicious and the country ham biscuit was as if Grandma made it. Coffee was simple but great tasting and the service was great. Quaint place with lots of history.

Any place that plays Lucinda Williams deserves 5 stars in my book!

All in all not a bad experience. I had the Jumbo Burger. Was not exactly Jumbo but was still very tasty. The biggest negative was how small the booths are. I went with 2 coworkers and we had to really squeeze in. Other than that not a bad experience!

I used to come here for lunch all the time when I worked in downtonwn.I love how Mecca has kept up with the times and kept its old school vibe. Their evening service is too much fun.We had a few cocktails outside and truly enjoyed it. Friendly service, unpretentious, very fun. I had the Scofflaw, which was a bit too sweet for me, but my companion LOVED it. I will likely order something more sour next time.Will definitely come back for snacks, drinks, and vibe. Good prices. Cant go wrong here.

Just had time for a quick breakfast this morning, so I went to the Mecca. The waitress took care of my order in a timely manner ... my food came without delay and she let me pay so that I could leave as soon as I ate. My breakfast was great - even a turkey bacon option! Now - to those who say the Mecca is “tired” ... that is what I call character!! Please, Raleigh - stop tearing down everything old and cherish local institutions! Many a political gathering of politicians or Supreme Court Justices have been held here - is it cutting edge cuisine? No, but it is great food at a reasonable cost. I would have rather had the cup of coffee I had at the Mecca than anything I have ever had at Starbucks! Support our local institutions ... it is what separates Raleigh from Any City, USA!

Quaint restaurant from long ago with good food and nice vibe.

We were in Raleigh for the weekend. This was my favorite meal. The atmosphere was perfect. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and that is what I got. No fooling around making it fancy. I got the breakfast I wanted. The biscuit my fiance had her sandwich on was so good we had to order another biscuit to share. I was not pleased with the corned beef hash. Very small portion. I recommend Mecca. My kind of restaurant. Great service too. I wish I lived closer.

Chicken was phenomenal. Wonderful home style country cooking and lovely service. Really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and interesting bar and decorations! Will definitely return

Has that old-fashioned diner feel. Classic decor from a time gone by. Stool seating at bar or booth seating. The upstairs is more spacious. There is also some outside seating on a nice day. Warning: you will not be impressed by the restrooms. But you will be impressed with the food and the service! Staff was friendly and fast. Food was delicious! Menu features fried chicken, burgers, catfish, pulled pork, shepards pie, and more. Its a good mix of options, and very reasonable prices for being downtown.

Very cozy, located in downtown Raleigh. The wooden benches and overall ambience is old school, but well kept. Had the ribeye steak and eggs with biscuit, grits, along with side order of pancakes. All was good except the biscuits which were kinda dry, but overall was very satisfied with the food and service.

Ive had their breakfast and their lunch there and they have both been amazing. The booths are a little run down but I think it adds to the appeal of the place. It has a very small town diner feel to it and the prices to go with it but the food is top notch. This has all the comfort foods you can think of and it has a cozy feel to it. Id recommend it for a rainy day when youre looking for a good place to have some good food to cheer you up. Id recommend it for every other day too though.

Had a fantastic experience here with my kids. The food was served fast and the customer service is just fantastic. Prices are convenient.

First time visiting Raleigh, and we went here during lunch after a friend recommended it. The building is old but its special for this exact reason. The decor is very cool. I had the fried chicken, and it was the best I have ever had. My friends had burgers and Mac n cheese and said that they were fantastic as well. The staff was also very friendly and didnt mind our large group of 8. If you like southern comfort food, this is an absolutely must stop if youre in Raleigh.

I left it blank but from all the times I came here it deserves 5 stars. But from what I saw tonight in my experience I consider it simply irresponsible for any busy that is open to leave itself so understaffed that I dont fret spoken to until 10min within coming in.no one working the floor except the bartender. I stayed because I simply love the place and the food but didnt get the experience I normally come for.

New management and its working. The best fried chicken Ive ever had. The wifes burger is worth going back for. Wish they were open later.

My parents used to go eat here when they were my age and still dating. my mom brought me here a few days after my dad passed and its a nice little hole in the wall type place. great atmosphere, great service, and awesome food and drinks. Would recommend to anyone wanderlusting downtown Raleigh

I stopped by for breakfast before court and a couple drinks. Decent throwback joint right down the street from the courthouse. I enjoyed the food and the drinks were not bad.

Chicken sandwich was phenomenal! The breakfast sandwich made up of two pancakes, bacon, cheese and fried egg was YUMMY! Only draw back is egg was to be over easy but came out fried hard. Not the end of the world but I really like my yolk runny. Will be coming back again.

This place is great. Its old, its small, the prices are right, and the staff is friendly. Great diner in the middle of town.

The staff were extremely friendly, very very nice people. The first coffee was good, the second coffee was water. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and the flavor was good but the food was very cold.

Mecca serves delicious, Southern-style diner fare with a warm and friendly atmosphere. We love bringing guests to this historic location and featuring tastings from Mecca as part our Raleigh Walking Food Tour.

Mecca feels a bit dated, but its clean and comfortable. It could be called quaint. The service was prompt and helpful, yet a bit distant despite it not being busy. I had the chicken and dumplings which were very flavorful, Im glad I didnt add hot sauce so I got the full tastiness of the dish. The black eyed peas were done just so as well. The surprise for me came when I saw the fruit salad packed with fresh blueberries, blackberries and some strawberries. It was nicely tart and sweet. I saw some other dishes Id like to try, so Ill be back.

Awesome dinner. Went here for lunch and it was a great spot with lots ofambiance. They have pictures of the state supreme court behind the counter going I dont know how far back. Try the clam chowder.

Amazing staff. Will go out of their way to make you happy. The kitchen brought me out bbq for the day to try before I could decide. The hush puppy was amazing.

Good southern comfort food. Cheap reasonable prices especially taking into consideration the location is downtown. The cheapest place there. Only complaint is they need to season the food more especially the vegetables. Other than that, very good

This is a wonderful place to dine. It is an old school place of business. The service is superior and the prices are awesome! The food was very tasty. You cannot go wrong wearing here. It is dated but that is what gives it the flair!

Quiet and simple place to eat. Decent prices and the food was good. Kids loved their mac and cheese meals and parents loved the meatloaf special (greens were amazing). I also loved the fruit cup was not grapes and melon like most places. It was berries!! Yum!! Server was very kind and accommodating. I will consider coming back for breakfast next time Im in raleigh!!

Been going here since the 80s. Times have changed. Still looks about the same. The old family sold it after 70 years of success and who can blame em. My only beef is cold veggies. Cold mashed potatoes. Its a shadow.It was always an everymans place and still does a good job. The glory days of politicians and celebrities are over. Still a good neighborhood joint. An a little taste of old Raleigh.

We hit it on a really bad night of under staffing. However, the bar staff that became everyones waiter/waitress were great. The BBQ pork was really good.

A simple but special dining experience. Get old-style meals in a very aged building. Its neat to experience how ding used to be. Great burger for less than $10 was a great find! Will be back for their daily specials!Update trip: burgers, solid choice. Dont get the steak sandwich though. It came with literally nothing on it at all but a tiny piece on meat on a big bun- who does this?! I was sad, but asked for toppings, which I found cost $2 for 3 slices of a tomato, which I didnt even need 3, ha. That threw my love for Mecca for a twist!

Ordered hamburger steak. Very satisfied made to my order. Booth seats seamed small but had room enough. Will come back

This local dive never disappoints. One of our favorite breakfast destinations. Fresh, hot biscuits! Carla at the counter is great and a main reason we keep going back.

Just visited the Mecca today for the first time. What timeless piece of the history of Raleigh. Loved the atmosphere and the food. We ordered biscuit breakfast sandwiches and they came out and tasted perfect. The staff treated us like family and we will certainly make this place a regular stop.

Mecca is a great historical spot. With historical prices. Quiet homey feel, great food, not a place to get rowdy, but they serve drinks as well. Modestly priced if thats youre direction, but I had a Basil Haydens there if youre looking for the nice stuff.

I had breakfast and want super impressed. My omelette was made with American style processed cheese that in my opinion is not suitable for omelettes. The rest of the meal was great. Service was great. But that cheese ruined it for me.

Another long time Raleigh business. It still has much of its old furnishings from days gone by. Some staff have been there for years. Food is good. Typical comfort food. They could put a bit more on the plates though.

They are a classic greasy spoon. The main draw is they very low prices for what feels like home made food. Its not much to look at but its value is high.

Amazing fried chicken! Good cocktails at outstanding prices. Great home-style Southern food. My favorite place in downtown Raleigh.

My wife loves this place but me not so much. My order of hashbrowns had a lot of grease and amounted to about 2 tablespoons worth. You get 1 piece of toast with your omelet. The coffee is nasty. Three place has character though...

What can say, this place is perfect. A great spot to dip into for some quick pancakes, hashbrowns with onions and turkey sausage links. The waitresses are super nice!

One of my favorite places to eat in downtown Raleigh. It feels like stepping into a time machine to walk in the doors and sit in a booth and order some comfort food. Prices are inexpensive, food is good, service is fast and friendly. I love that its never crowded whenever I go. A Raleigh staple!

Wonderful service, incredible home made food! Love that the restaurant has been kept in its original look.

The fresh seafood is frozen (scallops and trout)... as is most whole cut meet (esp.. Pork, bring your own steak knife, its that tough). When the pan baked daily specials do not sell out, they are held over until the next week. Most vegetables arrive to your table from a can (except the collards). Tomatoes are almost never in season, even when they should be... The burgers are good (fresh), and the fried chicken is excellent due to love and preparation. .. The atmosphere is nostalgic, and the owners mean well.

Best fried chicken in Raleigh. And boy do they give you a lot of it. Plenty to share!

Excellent old school counter top restaurant. The meal was homemade, delicious and inexpensive. Must try in Raleigh.

The Food arrived so fast I thought I was in a Mexican restaurant. Everything was delicious and they have very evonomical prices will be back . Beasley who ?

Nice historic downtown restaurant. Good food. Will go again. .h

There was only one server and while she was trying her very best to run the whole restaurant, she definitely needed help. The food was not great. Sausage links were very fatty and pancakes were too sweet and eggy for my taste. Charming atmosphere though!

Friendly staff, great service, good food. Nice quaint spot to grab breakfast downtown. Will definitely dine here again.

Old school restaurant with great food. Every time weve been its been outstanding. You cant go wrong here.

Unfortunately didn’t get out of the restaurant when we were told we would be able to. They were out of the chili after placing our order. The replacement of chowder was not cooked. They talked poorly about their coworkers and messed up our bill. Fried chicken was good.

My husband and I tried Mecca for the first time and we definitely have mixed reviews. The staff was very friendly, the food was good, and it feels like a step back in time. It was frustrating to order food, recieve food, and get the check. They seemed under staffed both in the front and back of house. The back of house seemed to be behind the whole time (not for lack of efforts to catch up though). In all it took an hour and a half to receive food, order dessert, and pay the check. Will return, but when we have time to kill.

Small, quaint restaurant. Waiter was friendly and helpful, and the music created a nice atmosphere. You definitely got your moneys worth of good.

Came Sunday afternoon to try and get a quick bite. The kitchen had no idea what they were doing and it took forever to get our food. Got really bad French toast and a mediocre burger. The server was nice and the food was incredibly cheap for downtown so that brings it up to 2 stars. Will not come back.

I very much enjoyed this place for lunch. When I arrived it wasnt too busy, but I could tell it was about to be hoppin. I was greeted immediately with a friendly hello. Three employees were working at the time. Each one greeted me as they passed by. I was served coffee and water right away. Once we ordered, it was a quick turn around. I had the days special, trout with a side of turnip greens and coleslaw. The trout was cooked perfectly. The sides were equally good. The price was just right!! I will be returning most definitely. :)

Menu is a bit limited, but my burger was near perfection. Atmosphere is lovely. Very comfortable place with great service.

The food was delicious. The service was great and the restaurant had an old-timey feel that I loved! #awesome

Havent been in a while until today, but its very good no frills food for a good price

Im not sure where the people who gave Mecca good reviews ate, but it must not have been the same restaurant that I had the misfortune to dine at today for lunch. The food was paltry, mediocre, and overpriced. My colleague ordered the scallops and received a grand total of 6 measly scallops for $14. My 5 scallops and one piece of trout was $17. In addition, the server was rude and inattentive. We had to flag her down to get our tiny Tea glasses refilled. I tried to order a water and was told that they had run out of glasses, even though the table beside of us were given drinks not 3 minutes later. Another colleague ordered the homemade lasagna, and discovered that part of it was ice cold. Overall, it was a terrible experience. I will not be making the trek back to Mecca in the future.

Great old time restaurant. Serves classic comfort food. Very good prices and good solid food. Love the old time look. Place has not been updated since it first opened most likely, which adds to its charm. The food will not wow you, but you wouldnt come here for haute cuisine anyways.Staff was very nice and friendly, as well as helpful.

The fried chicken sandwich was amazing. The restaurant is beautiful. There was a little bit of a wait, but it was worth it. The staff were friendly.

Food wasn’t very good in my opinion. Staff was polite. I ordered some cheese in my eggs and it seems like I was eating a blob of eggs

The owner is very homely - welcoming every customer who comes through the door. She attends to them on the clock. Thats an amazing feat for only one person. She deserves the tip for an excellent customer service.

Having just eaten there, I find all the positive reviews surprising and very hard to believe. Im not sure if all the reviews are from relatives of the owners or staff. I arrived with a group of 14 people to eat here based on the reviews. First, there are no seating arrangements for any group over 4, which is how many can fit in one of their booths. Minor inconvenience but not insurmountable. Looking back, I should have gotten the hint when I tried to order the beer special, and the waitress informed me they ran out of the beer special. We ordered our food and waited to be served. About 20 minutes later, the waitress informs me they are all out of corn on the cob so I order the peas. She comes back to tell me they are all out of peas. I ask for another side, but theyre out of that as well. Finally I ask what do they have, and she said they had pickled beets--no thanks. I asked for a dessert instead, and she told me they ran out of dessert at lunch. The same scenario played out with several other people in our group. Apparently the restaurant is unfamiliar with the concept of turning on the oven or stove to cook more food. Now I can see this happening if it was 10 pm on a Tue or Wed night, but this was at 7:30 pm on a Friday night. How in the heck do you run out of just about everything early on a Friday night? Another group of 12 people came into the restaurant about a half an hour after us, and the staff must have finally come clean that they didnt have much food because the group soon left. And the best treat of all was the waitress charged all of us full price even though we didnt get our full meal. The waitresses all had bad attitudes throughout the ordeal even though no one in our party expressed any anger or frustration with the waitresses. I do know Mecca lost 26 customers for any future business. Hope they come up with a new business model.To be fair, what food we did receive was decent--not great but not bad. With so many other dining options in downtown Raleigh, I wouldnt recommend wasting your time or money at Mecca.

An old fashioned restaurant with a family-owned vibe. Its definitely a diner and the food is of the same type you would expect at a similar establishment. The menu is short, which in this case is a blessing. The staff is very friendly and the decor seems straight out of a movie. It wasnt until I paid that I noticed that they do have a full bar as well. Ill be returning to see how their drinks are.

Southern food and strong drinks!

The Morning waitress is a beautiful person we will be back.The food is great.

Good food, good service and they get the food out quickly. Good place to meet someone for a business breakfast. The booths are a little cramped, especially for someone like me who is 65 tall, but otherwise Ive always had a good experience the 4-5 times I have eaten here.

Bad service. Food was cold when we finally got it. Not even very busy, maybe short staffed.

Food was delicious, bit of delay in getting my French fries. Everyone was actually done eating by the time I got them. Food was great though, drinks were strong and fairly priced.

Everytime I come to the Raleigh convention center for a convention or event I come here to eat breakfast before the event. The menu is great and I think the prices are pretty justified. The service is amazing since there are usually two waiters at all time providing great service asking if you need anything. The seating is probably a little cramped with multiple people since the booths arent that big but there are counter seats that are roomier. There is a little table outside sometimes. The menu is a little smaller on Sunday but seem to include some deals so if you dont mind some items not being on the menu Sunday would be a great day to go.

Awesome diner that has been a staple in Raleigh for a very long time. The interior seems to be the original booths, bar chairs, bar, etc. Food is yummy and filling. The also offer alchol

The best chicken dinner per price and taste...millennials are drawn 2 chicken and honey...could not even sit at the bar. Please do not wait walk a block or so to Mecca, you will not be disappointed.

The food is delicious (I usually get one of the daily specials). I typically get fish, 2 vegetables, bread and decaf coffee - all for $8 and change. I have eaten a late breakfast here on Saturdays. The service is excellent. If youve never been to Mecca, I highly recommend that you give them a try.

Went for the first time the other day and it was okay. Obviously the location is easy to find and prime downtown. There is ample parking near the restaurant and street parking right in front of it. Walked in and liked what I saw, the place is cool. Old wood and red seats and black fixtures made it feel really classic. Service was quick and friendly. Food was meh. My date got the open faced turkey sandwich and it was literally just a small hunk of turkey on a slice of squishy white bread. The chopped pork had good flavor but the meat was dry. The vinegar based bbq sauce was very good and the mac and cheese was delicious. Well probably try it again maybe if we are downtown and Hungary. But maybe not because its not like theres a shortage of good joints downtown and Mecca wasntterribly impressive other than the interior decor/atmosphere and the mac. Well see.

You gotta be kidding me! Such great tasting comfort food at such reasonable prices, one block off Fayetteville Street. Thanks!
