My first experience of eating in Downtown Raleigh!! Excellent service and the food was amazing!!
I agree with ru4real!! ( Bad Overall Quality) – Me and my girlfriend ate there for the first time last night and i was extremely displeased all around. Cleanliness, food quality and service were obviously not high priorties for the dinner staff of Mecca. However, i did over hear one of the servers say to another customer that there was a whole other staff at lunch, so i might be willing to try lunch there someday. I will say it will not be anytime soon, i guess i developed sort of a taste aversion to Mecca's after last night... read more
Great place for lunch, one of the best in Raleigh! – I love the Mecca. I have been eating there for years and it's always the same friendly staff. They have plenty of seating with a counter and booths. I have only been there for dinner once but it's a great place to go for lunch; I recommend the spaghetti.
Bad Overall Quality – After going to mecca for over 7 years I have now found the food quality has deteriated. The staff seems friendly and knowledgable. The owner seems hostel and not too concerned with making the customer happy so that they will return. I took a colleage there last week. All he wanted was a hamburger, fries & a coke. I ordered a vegi plate & tea.When his order comes he gets 10 fries??! Then when they want to charge him full price for a half class refill ??. Not to mention the place is so dirty I'm amazed it... read more
Dishing out American diner classics since 1930. – In Short Its vertical neon marquee might suggest Vegas rather than Raleigh, but don't be fooled--plenty of Southern agendas have been set at this restaurant, only a conversation away from the state Capitol. A long narrow corridor flanked by dark wooden booths and a bright-red soda fountain, the Mecca is a combination of classic diner kitsch and original art nouveau excellence. Stop in here for breakfast, a business lunch or a quick cup of coffee.
Mecca - Just what the name implies! The Mecca Restaurant is the oldest continually operating restaurant in NC. It is also fast, cheap, and a great place to people-watch. All kinds of people frequent this little hole-in-the-wall, from the mayor down to homeless folks. When you walk in, it looks small and dark. Well, it is. But just make your way down the narrow aisle til you find a booth or a barstool and loosen your belt a little bit. And make sure you leave room for dessert. They are all homemade and the selection always ch... read more
