This is such a gem in Carrboro. When the weather permits, the patio is a great place to enjoy a beer with friends or solo. Located right across from Open Eye and close to a busy intersection, this place offers great people watching. Or if you are a townie, you will see everyone you know pass by. The Napoli pizza truck also delivers here during the evenings I have been there for pints mid week. Cant go wrong with great beer & pizza! I am not super educated about beer, so I have appreciated the recommendations of rockstar bartender Carly. She has never steered me wrong. And you can get a growler to go if you wish.

Stopped in for a couple of drinks before a concert. We didn't try the food, though some of the menu options sounded really good. The beer was very good with a wide variety and selection at standard brewery prices. Will definitely return if ever in the area again.Thank you so much for coming out, we're glad to have you and hope to see you again soon!

Tobacco Road Sports Cafe

Reviewed By Doubledeacon

The guacamole and chips were really good. Between the grilled chicken or fried chicken Cobb salad, definitely the grilled. The fried chicken was a slab of too fried and too thin meat. The wine list is diverse and the company enjoyed sangria and cocktails. Wednesday wine is half price. This is not for a quiet night but it is not too loud because it has divided rooms and seating. Has a lot of TVs for game day.

Carolina Brewery

Carolina Brewery provides food and beverage in the Chapel Hill and Pittsboro, NC area

Reviewed By MrClarasDad

Our family of 4 had dinner and drinks on a recent evening. I wish we only had drinks and had gone elsewhere for dinner. Carolina's beer is very good. We had several varieties and they were solid across the board. Their brown is my favorite. Unfortunately their food is just not good. I had the Carolina Cuban which has ham, bacon and pulled pork. You couldn't taste the bacon and I'm not even sure it was there. The pulled pork was just mush and had no texture which made the entire sandwich so unappetizing. Even my daughter's Mac & Cheese off the kids menu was bad. It was obviously just a box of Kraft, nothing homemade, and even that was made poorly as it was all dried out. My daughter wouldn't eat it saying it was gross. Who messes up a box of Mac & Cheese? Great place to go have a beer before or after dinner but leave it at that. I will also mention that the service is very hit or miss depending on the server you get, but I suppose that is typical of a place staffed by college students. Our server was slow and generally uninterested in helping us. Any question about beer was met with the response "I don't know, I'm only 20". My wife tried to order a seasonal special and was told that they may be out, but with no offer to find out if they were actually out or not. Any question about food was met with response "I don't know, I've never had it". Obviously a good server should have a general knowledge of the food and drinks (especially at a brewery!) even if they don't eat or drink it themselves. We watched another server handling other tables that obviously got it. Very personable and helpful, discussing at length the different beers on tap.

Reviewed By Jaewriter

Want fried chicken or a tamale or sobu noodles? Got it. The menu is varied but with a large business crowd, everyone found something to their liking. The fried chicken is more like schnitzel and was a huge hit. I had the salmon and it felt indulgent - crispy on the outside and served on a bed of creamy mashed. Oddly, my favorite part was the side dish of green beans in a garlicky soy sauce. Yum!

Reviewed By Burtdol

This unique restaurant is at the top of the hill in downtown Chapel Hill. Heavily visited by University of North Carolina students. Overall the food is excellent and service is very good. Went there with a a large church group at lunch and everyone regardless of age thoroughly enjoyed their food. Especially good are their chicken dishes regardless of the way you decide to dine - salad, sandwich or entree. However, many people selected endless items from the menu and their was no one who didn't really enjoy their lunch even the coffee. Highly recommend - only problem is parking which can be a problem.
