Angie's Restaurant in Garner, NC has become one of our new favorite places for breakfast and lunch. It's a no frills establishment that caters to a crowd of regulars with great, home cooked meals. Established in a renovated old farm house, it's plain, not at all fancy nor pretty. Inside you're greeted by a loyal, enthusiastic staff that put the friend in friendly. By nature, they are all huggers and there isn't a customer yet that isn't considered a friend.
Since our first visit we've been a few times, eager to try the specials of the day. Fried chicken is on Thursdays and Friday's is fish day.
The fried chicken is a contender for the best in NC. It was tender, crispy, moist and seasoned to perfection. We'll try it again to insure the experience wasn't a fluke. Mashed potatoes are real potatoes, creamy with the perfect touch of butter flavor. The gravy was thick and rich and just like grandma use to make it.

We've enjoyed perfectly fried okra, the most scrumptious hush puppies, macaroni and cheese that rivaled my own, and Big Daddy's meal of choice, perfectly fried pork chops. The fried shrimp and oysters was top notch as well.
The list of everything that is picture perfect about Angie's is long and lengthy. We have yet to experience a meal that has been a disappointment and they cap each dish off with the dessert of the day.
Now, the desserts have been interesting, but not spectacular. There was peach cobbler that was good not great. Chocolate cobbler which Big Daddy really liked but I would pass on the next time. And pineapple pudding, a kind of banana pudding with pineapple instead of bananas.
Angie's has a loyal following and it's because their customer service is exceptional. The staff go above and beyond to satisfy. And the entire atmosphere just feels like home. It's warm and welcoming and immensely comfortable. We would eat at Angie's Restaurant every day of the week if such a thing were possible!
