This place has unfortunately gone way downhill. Around 2015 I lived within walking distance of Irregardless and was sure to come every Sunday for the great vibes (live music!!) and overall unique brunch experience. I always ordered the crab cake eggs benedict, and I loved...how every meal came with free unsweet tea with the simple syrup on the side and a little shot glass of orange juice. Throughout the years I made sure to stop by whenever I was in Raleigh. Admittedly the pandemic kept me from visiting for some time, but I visited today and was really surprised how drastically things had changed. First of all, why did they paint the building white? The green was so charming. They also took away the free drinks and the tea is now premade with sweetener. They reduced the menu a lot and now opt to focus on dietary restrictions, which is fine, but seems to take away from a focus on actual quality which is how I would have characterised it in the past. I will say that our server, Henry, was absolutely wonderful, provided excellent service, and our whole table really dug his mustache. But I cannot say that I appreciate what the new ownership has done with the place. They really took away everything that made Irregardless so interesting and unique. It's become just like every other overpriced, substandard brunch offering in Raleigh. I used to treat Irregardless as must-go destination in Raleigh, however, I think I will pass from here on out and won't be recommending it the way I had been before. In fact, I am a bit embarrassed to have sent people there assuring it's quality when clearly that is not the case anymore! Go for the vibes if anything, as the live music is wonderful, but otherwise, there is no longer anything about Irregardless which makes it stand out. Another unfortunate loss in the recent development of Raleigh.More
