This restaurant has been around since the 70's when I was in college at NCSU. I had brunch with my daughter who recently moved to Raleigh from NYC. We really enjoyed the live music and delicious food. She said she felt like she was in NYC because of the whole experience. She told me that this would be her new... More

Every time we go to Irregardless two things remain constant: 1. excellent food and 2. service worthy of any 1st class restaurant in any city. Arthur runs a great place and his manager keeps it running at the top level alwats.

Yummy food, intimate atmosphere. I go here each year for a Thanksgiving Dinner or an Easter Brunch. My BF took me here for Valentine's Day. You will not get closer to "Downtown Raleigh," and still feel like you're in a special hide-away for food conniesseurs and lovebirds. Menu is unique, and covers meat lovers to vegans. Chefs always ready to... More

We had dinner with some friends on a chilly March night. The hummus appetizer was great, loved the vegan shepherds pie, with enough left over for Saturday lunch. The carnivores at the table were also satisfied, all dinners looked yummy. There was live music, but not disruptive to conversation. Our young waitress was knowledgeable about the food offerings and made... More

I had my first dinner at Irregardless Cafe 21 years ago, before fire gutted the inside and they had to renovate. Fortunately, while the space is brighter and more open, the wonderful cuisine and charm carried over. Great fish and vegetarian fare awaits you at Irregardless. Their vegetables are especially yummy, with just the right amount of butter and salt... More

The selection was great and the food was all amazing. We all tried something different and none of us were unhappy. We shared the hummus appetizer and one of the specials. It... More

A very pleasant Saturday brunch surprise! Wonderful warm bread basket, jazz musician, fun drink selection, great salads, sandwiches, vegan and egg specials. Something for everything. I had not been to Irregardless since they had added space (20 years ago) - what a nice surprise. Cheerful ambiance. Diners ranged from families, to a large group of young adults/college students, couples, friends...... More

This is my all time favorite place to eat in Raleigh, year in and year out. Great food, a warm and relaxed atmosphere, and live music every night.

A long Saturday bike ride let us stop at this unusual cafe at 1:30PM. We went in and found they were serving brunch. Sat down to the strains of acoustic-electric guitar background music. We were surprised to look over and see it was live! A man off to the side was playing away and it greatly added to the pleasant... More
