I like good personal service and cheap eats that taste good here are the places i frequent in the downtown area:

for breakfast/lunch beckys on cary at 1st street hands down best fucking lunch in town, check out the weekly specials. when i go in there i dont even have to order they just know me. (i know sad) 6am - 3pm

also for breakfast / lunch is karens on broad near the dmv but on the other side. fast friendly service and the best breakfast in town. 6am - 3pm

Dinner ill hit up the village (grace and harrison)service sucks and the place is loud but its still fun and cheap,

for chinese in that area i regular hunan east on broad near richmond ford it has a great buffet

I goto the little ceasars on grace more then i should admit to ... $5 "hot n nasty" pizzas i am also one of the 3 people in town who eat the hotdogs at 711. those are mmmm good.

Im way to lazy to cook so i regular these places. i recently moved so i guess i wont anymore ill have to find new places
