What People Are Saying About Nofo At The Pig
Featured Review

Contributor
In Short – A Five Points gift shop with a rowdy sense of humor, Nofo turns on the charm the second you step inside. Upstairs, gifts and gadgets seem to snicker around every corner: Shrinky Dink wine charms, pig hand towels, mood dog collars. Can you pass through the toy section without poking a stuffed bear? Not likely--the shop's fun, confetti-colored atmosphere inspires playful browsing. Wander all the way back for a glimpse at Nofo's deli, or head downstairs for sit-down meal.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Forgo the upstairs deli and snag a table in the brightly colored dining room instead.

NOFO @ the pig
by Relevant Eats
In my opinion, NOFO is Raleigh’s indie version of the Cracker Barrel. I sat amongst an assortment of pig- oddities while eating a sincerely delicious brunch. Let me offer an explanation for the pig oddities-the location is a renovated Piggly Wiggly Grocery. The brunch menu (sat & sun) is most notable with its variety of egg specialties (benedicts, omelettes, scrambles…oh my.) I ordered the Big Bear Scramble and it was tasty! The biscuits are a buttery reminder of one’s granny & their jams are made in house…I sampled strawberry and it was wonderful. My brunch-mates’ plates all looked scrumptious and I heard no complaints. The lunch and dinner entrées are not alluring; I truly doubt I’ll ever visit NOFO past noon. For a hearty, comforting weekend brunch, head over to NOFO.

Delicious!
by CKCspaniels1
I have eaten at Nofo for lunch, brunch and dinner at least 30 times now. The food is always amazing and the staff is very friendly and attentive! The fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese, eggs benedict and pork tenderloin are all a must!!!
- Pros: Great food, Great staff, Fun atmosphere
- Cons: Parking, Often run out of some things (esp at night)

Great Sunday Brunch
by abfreeman
This past Sunday was our first trip and we were thrilled with our experience. We shopped upstairs in the gift shop while we waited for a table, about 10 minutes. We were seated upstairs, which gives you a great overall view (I recommend you request upstairs). Our waiter had a great personality, made good suggestions & checked on us often. I highly recommend the sweet potato fries with dipping sauce, the biscuits and the chicken wrap. All four of us were very pleased with the staff and the food. We will definitely go back soon.
- Pros: Atmosphere, Waiter, Food
- Cons: Parking

Best Brunch in Raleigh!
by ncstate99
I have been here at least ten times and every time it is amazing. The country breakfast is what i get because it has a wide variety of food. You get two eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, and biscuits, which always fills me to that perfect amount. How cool is it that it is in an old piggly wiggly? There is a gift shop that has unique little gifts, too. I suggest breakfast because it can be for anyone, while dinner can be more "gourmet". For instance i got catfish over spinach with a spice sauce. ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES EVER!
- Pros: AMAZING FOOD, food not to pricey, good service
- Cons: parking
