Nothing beats Farmer's Market Fresh

Seriously, what's better than a breakfast made of the freshest ingredients, straight off the local farms? Not much! Which is why the State Farmer's Market Restaurant is the place to be for weekend brunch! Talk about down-home, good ol' Southern cooking! They have everything from fresh sausage and bacon to waffles and hotcakes to brains and eggs... yes, I said brains. The waitstaff is very knowledgeable and friendly, in their adorable denim overalls.

Granny Cone's Sampler

I went with my fabulous photographer friend, Cynthia (of CynKain Photography). With a huge spread of farm-fresh goodness to choose from, we had a difficult time deciding. Luckily for a foodie like me, they have "Granny Cone's Sampler," which is literally a sampling of all the things we were deciding between: Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, NC Country Ham, Sausage Gravy, Spiced Apples, Silver Dollar Hot Cakes, Grits and Biscuits. 

The biscuits were flaky and buttery. The NC Country Ham, Sausage and Bacon tasted so incredibly fresh, it was some of the best I've ever had. The grits were really creamy and the spiced apples were a perfect end to this fabulous meal. While there was too much food on the sampler for me to finish everything, I think there was a perfect little taste of everything you'd want to try for your first time here. 

Cynthia got a delicious platter of french toast and bacon, which was equally wonderful. 

Being right across from the Farmer's Market, the restaurant is great inspiration to pick up your groceries for the week across the way. The food here was so fresh and delicious and the service was really quick. If you're looking for a down-home, farm-fresh meal, this is the place to go!
