Brigs of Wake Forest

Brigs of Wake Forest is the local branch of a Triangle breakfast and brunch chain, out on Wake Union Church Road. Around here it goes by Brigs at the Forest, and readers have voted it the best breakfast in town more than once.

The menu is long and built on the idea that breakfast should be available at any hour of the day. Weekday specials keep the cost down, and the dining room is meant to be relaxed and friendly, which is what the founders were after from the start.
