Raleigh Diner Legendary Brunch
Our weekend brunch has become a highlight of many people’s weeks – and we want it to be the highlight of yours, too! From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, enjoy a mix of traditional and tasty breakfast items, pastries, wine options, and even champagne.

Stop by for coffee and chocolate chip cookies, a ham sandwich with French toast, or a mimosa with a side of chicken tenders. We won’t judge. Whatever makes your weekend taste good, we want to prepare it for you.
Casual Drinks at the Hightop Bar
On top of our exemplary casual dining experience (pardon the pun!) is our classic Hightop Bar. Enjoy the ADA accessible (via elevator) rooftop bar, with both indoor and outdoor seating.

Casual dining for your Friday night release, your Monday after-work unwind, or your weekend splurge. The options at the unique and easy-to-love Waco Hippodrome Theatre has got you covered.
