“Few places in Raleigh retain the spirit of the community as it was before the city’s exponential growth of the 2lst century. Irregardless is one of them.
“Today, under the ownership of Lee Robinson, Irregardless is working to preserve its legacy while looking toward the future with a renewed focus on community, celebration and preservation.
“ ‘It was Raleigh’s first vegetarian restaurant, the first place in Raleigh to serve brunch, and it was farm-to-table before that was even a trend,’ Robinson explains. Today, the café embraces a diverse menu that caters to omnivores while maintaining its vegetarian-forward focus.
“As Raleigh’s food scene continues to grow, Robinson’s vision for Irregardless remains centered on community - preserving the unique character that has made the café a beloved institution.
“In an ever-changing culinary landscape, Irregardless’ commitment to both tradition and innovation is exceptional. As it celebrates its 50th anniversary, the café is a tribute to the power of community, connection and the enduring spirit of Raleigh itself.”
