We are arriving in Cary tomorrow and will be staying at the red roof inn on Walnut street. What are some good places around there to eat breakfast? We are from PA, so we are used to good diner breakfasts. Would prefer to avoid any NATIONAL chains, but would not be opposed to a really good regional chain that we might have never eaten at.
I'd second Gypsy's if you're looking for that diner experience and don't want to go too far. Brigg's was voted by a number of different magazines and reviewers -- I've always been very happy taking my out-of-town friends there, and they do have a number of locations.
Gypsy's is very close to the hotel and is a great choice. I have had people stay at the Red Roof before because it is one of the best values in Cary, good location and price and not too bad a shape. I just miss the day when Gypsys was open later... used to go in at 2 AM for blueberry pancakes. Now we just have the Waffle House or drive to the IHOP in Raleigh or Apex.
Ye Olde Waffle shop in Chapel Hill is pretty good as is Elmo's in Durham. Neither are anything I would say you MUST go to, still searching for that "crazy breakfast place!" in this area. I'd say Ye Olde Waffle is closer to that than Elmo's.

Gypsy's is still open late on Friday nights and Saturday nights, but I agree there's a dearth of late-nite dining options in Cary.
