This was truly a great experience in every aspect. Everyone we interacted with were very polite and helpful. The food was incredible. My wife got a sandwich and I got biscuits and gravy, both of wish were delicious. They have a nice seasonal drink menu as well. But their commitment to giving back to the community and feeding those in need is the best part. I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you for all that you do!

I'm visiting from New York and discovered this place through a Google search. What an amazing experience! I ordered an iced coffee, chicken salad melt with homemade bbq chips….. The food is outstanding. What I love the most is that they also give back to the community allowing them to volunteer for their meal as well as the paying customers have the option to pay it forward. Love love love it. I’ll definitely continue to support A Place At The Table!

Found this gem when in town from Indiana for a wedding. We enjoyed breakfast but even more we enjoyed learning of the restaurant’s mission. Over and over we observed team members achieving their mission. Dignity and compassion are the best things on their menu!

If you're looking for a brunch spot that serves up more than just great food, **A Place At The Table** in Raleigh is the one! The dishes? Fresh, flavorful, and downright delicious—like a warm hug in meal form. The vibe? Vibrant, welcoming, and filled with good energy. The service? Fast, efficient, and oh-so-friendly. But the real MVP of my visit? Toya. From singing at the register to cracking jokes, she made me feel like family the moment I walked in. Toya set the bar for what true hospitality is all about—connecting, laughing, and making everyone feel right at home. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go. You just might walk out with a full belly and a new cousin!

A wonderful concept! I was visiting Raleigh for a weekend with some friends and we chose this spot for on of our breakfasts. We absolutely loved the concept of pay what you can or volunteer for a meal. You can see how everyone comes together to help one another out. We each ordered something different (chicken and waffles, avocado toast, BLT w/ tomato soup, and breakfast burrito) along with 4 different types of coffees and it did not disappoint! We also shared one of their dulce de leche brownie cheesecake slices and OMG IT WAS INCREDIBLE. Each of us enjoyed our dishes and the chill ambiance. Please show your support to this beautiful place by visiting the location or making an online donation. Thank you to the owners and staff for giving back to the community and serving everyone delicious food!
