Country Junction Restaurant

First time in here! Decided to grab some breakfast on my way to the farmer's market this morning. When I say this place is no frills, I mean it. That's not a dig, btw, the restaurant is very clean. Didn't check out the bathrooms, but if there anything like the dining room, you'll be fine.I got their breakfast plate and a cup of coffee. All for under $10!! Great deal! I got 2 eggs, scrambled, grits sausage, and big ole buttery biscuit. The lady at the counter was friendly and helpful. The coffee was super hot and fresh, perfect way to start my Saturday. Didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes for my meal. Food was delicious. It did come on a styrofoam plate, which is a little off putting, but I'll look past it.The only critique/warning I'd give to you would be customers is this, some of the crowd there was a bit interesting, might be why they weren't busy at 830am on a Saturday morning...just leave it at that...Not sure if I'll be back or not but it fulfilled my needs for a quick, hot breakfast!

Surprisingly good food for what you pay. Fried chicken, two sides and a drink for about $6! Chicken was delicious, not greasy. Tea was just right. The decor isn't that great and that's a shame. Will be back to try the breakfast items! Hours 6a-2p, cash only, friendly staff plenty of parking.

Barebones environment, but the food is dirt cheap and was very good. You get an entree from up front for around 5.00, then have your choices of sides from a "vegetable bar" buffet style..the fried chicken was good, and the vegetables (such as pinto beans, mashed potatoes, turnip greens, okra, etc) were better. It almost makes me want to try some of their "real" soulfood options like fried gizzards or turkey necks..I don't think you can get a cheaper more filling meal in the area at their prices. Definitely a place I'm going to be frequenting soon.

Ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich this morning and was excited to eat it. When I got it home the bread was stale and what's worse, there were spiders crawling around in the bread... this was the first and last time ordering food here. Absolutely disgusting. Wow.

The best breakfast in chapel hill Ms.Kim always has the best biscuits ready and the grill hot at 6am

You get what you pay for. If you were to go into a bar in Chapel Hill NC, and plop $3.19 on the table, they'd give you a Pabst Blue RibbonIf you went to a Dollar General and gave the clerk $3.19, they'd give you a bag of off-brand potato chips, a bottle of off brand soda, and a recalled toy from the 80s. Now. If you go to Country Junction and cough up $3.19, they'll give you:-Two eggs done however you like-Either grits or hash browns (not great hash browns)-Your choice of meat (Sausage, steak, fried chicken, or "country ham," which appears to be hot dogs)-Toast or a biscuit.The ambience at Country Junction is interesting. At some times this is the place that good old boys that have been living in Carrboro for 50 years will talk about their health and local politics. At other times, the only language you'll hear spoken is Spanish. The hours are strange also: 6:00 AM - 2:00 PMThat's a great freaking deal for a few bucks. So, that is my summary of what's good about Country Junction: It's freaking cheap, and the food is cheap but tasty.There's bad things to report as well, unfortanately:1. The food is all low-quality2. The service consists of taking a number tag, and waiting for them to bring you your food3. The place is gritty lookingI go to the Country Junction about once a month to get a decent breakfast, quickly, and cheaply. I wouldn't bring my parents here, and I wouldn't bring a first date here, but I'm glad it's around.

Ordered the 'breakfast special' ... couldn't believe I'd get all that food for only $2.99! Now I believe it, because my 'special' turned out to be 'especially' foul.I suspect if I went into the kitchen, I'd see oily boxes labelled, "egg-like substance #7", "bakun" and bread loaves boasting "now 25% less sawdust!". Even the coffee was thin and sour.I still see people eating in there and am baffled... maybe the rest of the menu isn't as horrible as the 'breakfast special' but I'm not brave enough to find out.

This depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for standard, cheap breakfast then this is your spot. This is no-frills, cheap country cooking. Two eggs, hashbrown/grits, meat choice, and toast/biscuit is $3.19. Throw in a coffee and you're looking at roughly $4.50 total. You order at a counter, take a number, and they bring it to you on a sturdy paper plate. No silverware, just plastic stuff here. Again, no-frills. But if that's your goal, a cheap meal, then it suits the bill. Can't speak for lunch taste, but at $4.49 for a meat and access to the vegetable bar it seems like a steal too. This place is old, definitely a little beat up (they could use some new chairs) but its a good quick meal if you need it. Put it this way...I had the same meal here as I did Time Out and it was 1/3 the price.

I used to eat lunch here almost every week day while working at UPS and in grad school. The food is what cheap, straightforward, and very satisfying. The lunch offerings give you a meat and access to the veggie bar for a very reasonable price. The hush puppies are really good, as are the green beans, spiced cabbage, rice and gravy, etc. The fried chicken has a nice thin crispy coating. None of it is exactly haute cuisine, but it's not intended to be. Can't say much about the breakfast, but the lunch is as good a deal as you can get in the area.

Awesome place for some cheap, hearty breakfast food. Cash only, but staff are nice, food comes out quick, and it'll fill a roadie's stomach.
