New to the Triad in Diner Food: Dear Dad's Restaurant
Jamilla's Apple first enjoyed Dear Dad's Restaurant with a pal in March of last year. Wow! Great food topped off with a great staff and fresh ingredients.
A family business primarily run by a father and son, Dear Dad's namesake is actually Dear Ole Dad's Restaurant in New Jersey, a breakfast restaurant and bagel shop that they were fond of. After closing New Orleans Bar and Grill here years ago to raise his sons, Sage Gharfoor and his son Haras Sajjad decided to do it again in August 2024 with Dear Dad's Restaurant on Battleground Avenue here in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Now, the food. I had the three egg omelette w/ egg whites and my typical additions: spinach, cheddar and tomatoes. Home fries. Yessss. And Sourdough toast with in-house jams. All three, strawberry, blackberry and peach . Awesome. You'll see.
General Manager, Ryan Settember says that the key to their success is "caring about every plate, every try and every guest. The challenge is the space, "having space for guests" and "pricing competitively." Coming soon is a downtown location. With the recent closing of downotwn area restaurants, they are a breath of fresh air. Dear Dad's Restaurant, according to Sajjad, is "trying to keep the expectation, a great food reputation" and "bring it everyday."
