The Mac House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (218) • $$

"The Mac House is a hidden gem tucked away in a shopping center in North Raleigh. It is family owned with great customer service and they remember me and what I typically order. I tend to order the same things but do change it up once in a while. As every month, there are special mac n cheese; grilled cheese; salad; soup and cheesecake.The restaurant is casual so you can relax. They have indoor and outdoor seating or you can do carry out. You order at the counter and your meal will be brought to your table.The Mac House isn't your typical grilled cheese or mac n cheese as many variations are offered from pizza to cheeseburger to bacon & truffle to jerk chicken to spinach and artichoke mac n cheese. For grilled cheeses you can get buffalo chicken to pimento with bacon and fried green tomatoes to bbq to caprese pesto. I tend to get the Mac House grilled cheese with garlic seasoned bread or the mac n cheese grilled cheese and it is just like it sounds with mac n cheese inside the grilled cheese. Both are so good. With the mac n cheese I like the seafood one with shrimp.As much as I love the grilled cheese sandwiches and mac n cheese. The salads are my favorite as they are so fresh. So I like that the grilled cheese sandwiches come with a side so I can get the salad with it. Then the mac n cheese grilled cheese gives me the mac n cheese too so I can have it all in one meal.Don't forget to try the cookies when you stop by for some yummy food."

Crosstown Pub & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (279)

"After attending a local event at the Cary Theater my friend suggested we grab a late bite at Crosstown. They have a nice spacious patio area for dining so we decided to try eating outdoors. Service was prompt upon arrival. Our waiter suggested the birria tacos. He shared that the pub prides itself on " authentic flavorful tacos". My friend had grilled wings, pimento cheese balls and a salad. I had the fried green tomatoes, birria tacos by recommendation and a whiskey sour. Service was very slow outside. Our waiter had our food served to us but never came back to check on us until it was time to check out. I understand it's late night and staffing is limited. The food was very good with the exception of the fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes were under ripe and too hard to serve for this recipe. The pimento cheese balls were excellent. Two of my favorite North Carolina southern classics. The convenience of late night hours until 2am, and location is unmatched for this area and the food was good. I would definitely return."

Farm Table

★★★★☆ 3.9 (277) • $$

"This was one of those wow meals, from start to finish. They change their menu often to match what is in season and to utilize as much local as possible. We were drawn in by their current menu. Made reservations and had a delightful Saturday night experience.They have a nice variety of seating options. Tables, Booths, a good size bar. There's a patio room that's enclosed. All very nice. We were quite comfortable in our booth in the main dining room.Service was top-notch from the moment we were greeted with a smile, to our excellent Server and the friendly food runners. Drinks excellent. I enjoyed a nice pinot grigio with my meal, followed later by the world's most perfect dessert drink...a lemon pie martini. Yep. You heard that right. The stuff dreams are made of. Husband had a couple dirty martinis he was quite fond of.Food. YUM. We shared a steamed clam appetizer with an excellent spring onion cream-white wine sauce after they started us with a nice light foccacia with a very good olive oil. The only thing missing with the clams was grilled bread. It was crying out for it. Would have totally taken it over the top. Yes the foccacia was dippable but it didn't work as well as grilled sourdough would have matched with that dish.Entrees: Scallops with a beurre blanc sauce, veggie noodles and a tomato vinaigrette. The scallops could not have been seared and cooked better. They were scallop perfection. But I will say that the plating in a bowl rather than a plate watered down the beurre blanc to the point it might as well have not been there. The tomato on top with a tangy vinaigrette offered a nice acidity to the dish. Husband got the Pork Schnitzel with a pesto pasta and arugula. Very rich and he loved it. Both portions were generous enough that we both have leftovers. Especially love how well everything is seasoned and the usage of fresh herbs.Highly recommend!"

The Twisted Grape

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (378)

"Very disappointing! The prices are too high for this same town restaurant. Have eaten here a few times and am never overly impressed. Decided to grab as a call in take out. Won't do that again. Ordered the chicken Alfredo...$16.90 for a very small tray! My wife ordered a salad that had almost zero toppings. Please see our pictures. Also was told our take out order would be ready in twenty minutes but waited forty! The salad-Southern fried chicken salad. Supposed to have cucumbers, bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, (tomatoes-none for me), and croutons. Please note there were 4 croutons, 3 tiny pieces of cucumber, 2 pieces of red onion, zero bacon, and zero cheese! The chicken (not picture) was hood."

Glasshalfull

★★★★☆ 4 (231) • $$

"Decided to check out Glasshalfull after hearing about it on social media. It is a cool and chill spot sporting tons of tables, a wrap around bar, and a massive wine selection. I checked out their menu ahead of time and decided to go for their mini burgers that had bacon and truffle aoili. It was just the right amount of food! I ate just one, but I will be devouring the other in like an hour as I am a grazer! To drink I got a bottle of their cremant rose. Nice hint of strawberries, peaches, and rose. It was very yummy and actually paired really well the burgers. Normally I do not get a bottle of wine just for me at a restaurant, but they were half off today and I decided to go for it! Such a great recommendation by the waitress. I love that they are able to recork the bottle, so you can take it home. Therefore there is no pressure to finish it! Around it are several other local businesses to check out. Carrboro's downtown very much reminds me of Pittsboro as it is very quaint and cute.Definitely would come back as it is very chill and has such great vibes!"

Hawthorne & Wood

★★★★★ 4.6 (204) • $$$

"We loved our dinner experience at Hawthorne & Wood. To date, I think this is the best restaurant we've eaten at in Chapel Hill and it's certainly one of the best we've been to in the Triangle. The food quality here was comparable to that of other fine-dining establishments we've been to in bigger cities. Chapel Hill is lucky to have this place.This place is popular and deservedly so. I think if you want a preferable reservation time, you'll have to book at least several days in advance. I booked less than a day out and was able to get my wife and me a 5pm Saturday reservation. We checked in with a wave of 5pm customers. The restaurant and bar stayed busy for the duration of our stay.Inside, the restaurant is very classy and beautiful with a low-key, sophisticated, modern design. I liked it a lot. The restaurant is located in the East 54 mixed-use development on highway 54 near 15-501, just east of UNC Chapel Hill's campus. Plenty of free surface lot and deck parking is available outside the restaurant.Hawthorne & Wood serves New American cuisine. During our visit, the food menu was divided into three sections: Bar Snacks, First Courses, and Main Courses. Examples from each section, respectively, included Seared North Carolina Shrimp ($16), Seared Slow-Cooked Pork Shoulder ($14), and Pan-Roasted Beef Tenderloin ($42). On the drink menu, there were 16 cocktails ($11-15 each), from classic to "custom," plus over a dozen each of wine by the glass ($10-18 per) and North Carolina craft beer ($5-9 each).Here's what we got:Bar Snacks* Black Truffle Arancini ($10) - cured egg yolk, Parmigiano-ReggianoFirst Courses* Smoked Duck Breast Prosciutto ($16) - Huckleberry, roasted hen-of-the-woods, preserved root vegetables, pistachio genoise* Yellowfin Tuna Crudo ($16) - avocado, Fresno peppers, purple daikon, blood orange granitaMain Courses* Roasted Oyster Mushroom En Presse ($28) - Hon-shimeji mushrooms, melted leeks, horseradish, sherry gastrique, chives* Seared New Bedford Scallops ($38) - smoked Thai pumpkin, farro, bacon, Ruby Streaks mustard greens, sour cherry jusDessert* Apple Butter Cake ($8) - maple whipped cream and candied pecans* Chocolate Cream/Mousse with Amaretto cherries (complimentary)Custom Cocktails* Desolation ($14) - gin, Pernod, apple, tarragon, lemon* Bird of Paradise ($14) - Mezcal, aperol, honey, passionfruit, lime* Open Kimono ($13) - Japanese whiskey, ginger, burnt thymeIn general, we thought the food and drink were incredible. From ingredient quality to execution, everything was superb. Also, each dish and cocktail was absolutely beautiful. It reminded us of some of our favorite finer-dining type restaurants back home in Atlanta, and within NC, some of the best places we've been to in Asheville. Next-level stuff for Chapel Hill, in my opinion.Every dish impressed. The Black Truffle Arancini was served in a small iron skillet. The rice balls were smothered in shaved Parm. They had warm, savory centers. The Smoked Duck Breast Prosciutto looked like a work of art, like a flower crown from the woods (all of the dishes and drinks looked like works of art). As a fan of cured meat, mushrooms, and vegetables, I really enjoyed this dish. It was light yet packed with flavor and gratifying. The Yellowfin Tuna Crudo was outstanding. The presentation was bold and colorful. The ingredients were fresh and tasty all around.My wife and I love mushrooms and we thought the Roasted Oyster Mushroom En Presse was wonderful. They were pressed mushrooms, cut into rectangles, with flaky crusts. Unique. The mushrooms were garnished with additional mushrooms, along with greens. The sherry gastrique was flavorful and went well with the mushrooms. The Seared New Bedford Scallops were terrific. They were delectably charred, plump, and delectable. We loved how Thai pumpkin was incorporated into this dish. Again, unique.The Apple Butter Cake was phenomenal. If it's available during your visit, I recommend it. The dessert was sweet, smooth, and addictive. The maple whipped cream and the syrup, altogether with the cake, were simply sublime. The Chocolate Cream/Mousse with Amaretto cherries was complimentary for my wife's birthday. It was simple and delicious.The three cocktails were equally fantastic. I didn't prefer one over another. Each was well-made and very satisfying.Service was great. I forgot our server's name, but she was knowledgeable about the menu. Her name didn't print on the receipt. The food runners were nice, including one guy whose name I do remember: Eric, who also goes by the nickname "Jolly." We were seated in a nook in the back of the restaurant, close to the kitchen. We were near a corner where the staff had to say "corner" every time they approached so they didn't run into each other.Hawthorne & Wood opened in April 2019. Chef-owner Brandon Sharp opened up sister restaurant Bluebird, in nearby Meadowmont Village, in July 2022: https://bit.ly/3HnveNj."

Nantucket Grill - Chapel Hill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (308) • $$

"Pretty average experience. The service was quite good, but the food was so so. I ordered the fish sandwich (as I was looking for something on the lighter side), and it arrived in an unusual way. It appears they cooked some fish fingers and laid them on a bun instead of a full piece of fish. Not what I was expecting. And, consequently, this approach ended up giving you a lot more breading making it a heavier meal. And, the taste was not that great.On the flip side, their desserts are pretty interesting. They make these cakes in large rectangular block with multiple layers of cake, filling, and frosting where each slice ends up being a 6 inch by 6 inch piece (with one inch thickness). I selected the coconut cream and it was very good.So, maybe next time, we skip the meal and go straight for the dessert?"

Wye Hill Kitchen & Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.3 (465) • $$

"All the yums! Hubs searched and picked Wye Hill for our brunch date, and I'm SO glad he did! I loved everything from the relaxing patio seating/views and the delicious food, to the awesome service we received from Mason. The sweet potato hash and (my bite of) the turkey burger was fantastic. I enjoyed my Retox cocktail and the view of downtown. All in all, it was a great dining experience and I can't wait to return. Cheers!"

Under the Oak Catering

★★★★★ 5 (18)

"You will NOT find better tasting food from any caterer around here. I am so impressed with the amazing quality of the food. I have had great caterers before, but UTO goes above and beyond to serve a 5 star meal. I worked with Lara for over a month for a meal for around 50 people. She helped me make the perfect decision. We went with the filet, chicken piccata, roasted vegetable's, garlic mashed potatoes and 3 passed appetizers of chicken and waffles, crab cakes and shrimp ceviche. The southern salad was one of the most delicious salads I ever had. The shrimp ceviche was my fav thing of all. But every single item was perfect. I have never heard so many people say how good the food was. The servers and bartenders were great, too. I would definitely use them again! Loved it!"

Farmside Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (212) • $$

"I was doing a few deliveries in the Durham area and that was after an 8 hour shift at my day job. So I had an appetite built up. I passed by and decided to go inside. So I checked this place out with no research and no knowledge of what they really offered. The custom bowl is a huge trend now and Farmside is a new guest to the party, except this is no chain, at least not yet! I ordered the Rancher bowl with grilled chicken, black beans, roasted corn, avocado, feta cheese, red onion, corn tortilla chips, shredded kale, seasoned brown rice, cilantro lime dressing and a little honey Sriracha drizzle on top. Not sure how Sriracha fits in with the Southwest, but whatevs! They asked how much dressing I wanted, and I went with medium level. Truthfully, I could have used more. So I asked for a cup of their jalapeno dressing on the side and that elevated it from pretty good to really good! More flavor, more punch. On a down note, I wasn't able to get any LaFarm sourdough bread, they were already out.The beverages were good, I went with the pineapple mint juice, super refreshing.This was a good place to go for a quick healthy meal, I also like that they have outdoor seating."

Sophie's Grill and Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (187) • $$

"Bottom line: Sophie's Grill and Bar served a very good meal in the Potato & Cheese Pierogi and Chicken Schnitzel menu selections I had on my visit. Nice atmosphere and good service. I am a fan!The Deets:Venturing out on a rainy Sunday, I tried Sophie's Grill and Bar off Hwy 55 in Cary. They do take reservations off Open Table but it was not needed on this day. They have a very open space, nicely done with a hint of European flavor. There is a spacious bar front and center as well with plenty of TVs to follow sports action/programs. I was seated upon entering and given the menu. Again, the menu gives an Eastern European impression with some American favorites as well. I chose to start with Potato & Cheese Pierogi with menu description "traditional eastern European fried dumplings, stuffed with cheese, boiled potatoes, butter and seasoning, served with caramelized onions." I liked these a lot, a definite crisp along the edges and tasty ingredients inside. They do appear a bit greasy/oily when they come out but taste very good. For my main choice, I went with their Chicken Schnitzel, menu described as "pickled marinated & panko crusted. Served with mushroom Marsala sauce and mashed potatoes." Again, I liked this one, the flavors were great together and the mushroom sauce made a nice addition. Service was good during my visit and I was checked on several times during my meal. I think I will be adding Sophie's Grill and Bar to my rotation, a nice surprise, I enjoyed my meal there. I'd say more along 4.5 stars here."

Beasley's Chicken & Honey

★★★★☆ 4.2 (2158) • $$

"Very impressed with the waffles here! I'm usually a pancake person, but the waffles were delicious! The chicken was good. Got thighs, wings, waffle, and chicken pot pie. Chicken pot pie was very flavorful and didn't feel heavy at all! Luckily we beat the rush and didn't have to wait for a table. They have stool seating. Awesome customer service!"

Tramway Diner

★★★★☆ 4 (75)

"Excellent service and good here this morning. My son ordered the chicken fried steak, hubs ordered the corned beef omelette and I ordered eggs and grits. The server was very friendly and kept our coffee full. The bathroom was very clean. This is a nice place to enjoy fresh food."

Foster's Market

★★★★☆ 4 (668)

"Nice cozy place that serves breakfast and lunch. We were in Durham area and looking for a nice local place to support. Foster's Market definitely matched what we were looking to find. We both ordered sandwiches that were fantastic. Nice size and well made. I ordered the Jammin Turkey Breast Sandwich (very yummy) with just the right amount of spice from the pepper jelly. My wife ordered the Roasted Turkey Breast sandwich, which she really enjoyed. Very nice place to visit with friendly people and plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. If in the area you need to visit."

Bloomsbury Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (107) • $$$

"I'd never dined at Bloomsbury Bistro before my Sunday brunch here but it is somewhere I will be back again.The restaurant has a parking lot that it shares with Walgreens and a Barre studio. So parking is easy here!I ordered the French toast as it had mandarin oranges. It was delicious. I also ordered a side of bacon but that was disappointing as it was overcooked and dry. One piece was even burnt. I wouldn't order the bacon again though as it was awful.For dessert I had sorbet that had kiwi; coconut and pineapple. I enjoyed how all the flavors went together. Service was great."

St George Subs & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (68) • $

"Enjoyed a footlong philly cheesesteak sub. The onions and peppers were finely chopped up and complimented the sandwich. Unlike another review I can attest the meat us not ground beef."

Sup Dogs

★★★★☆ 3.8 (230) • $$

"The hot dogs are amazing Hey make your order when you place it. Staff is super friendly. I like the atmosphere of this place it's epic eclectic and pretty rad. Been here before and I'll come back and eat here again next time Im in chapel hill for work at UNC."

Rye Bar and Southern Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (282) • $$

"We walked around downtown trying to find something to eat before a concert and we just randomly stopped in cause we were really hungry. You can eat at the bar area or a nice, huge dining room. Scott was our waiter and he was full of life. I ordered a rare salmon filet and a small house salad. The salmon was absolutely delicious. I mean like over the top delicious. My salad was great for $5.00. My friend had the salmon meal with amazing Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. The Brussels were some of the best I have had. I really enjoyed this meal!"

NOFO @ the Pig

★★★★☆ 3.9 (275) • $$

"NOFO @ the Pig is in Raleigh's Five Points area. The restaurant and gift shop was part of what was a Piggly Wiggly grocery store in the 1950s to 1990s. The rest of the grocery store was where Lily's Pizza and Third Place Coffee shop are now. I loved how so many artifacts were on display in the restaurant and gift shop. NOFO has a small parking lot for its customers. Make sure to enter from Fairview as it is one way. The restaurant is on the first level and the gift shop is on the second although it has some seats for dining. You enter the restaurant from the Glenwood side. The Gift Shop entrance is from the Fairview side.The restaurant just has a few tables and they were spread out well. We were seated at a round table so that made conversations easier between everyone and the smaller side made it quieter inside. There are outside tables available as well.I ordered the orange and candy pecan salad and it was made without onions for me. I did add shrimp and was happy with the portion. I loved the salad as it all went together well.I went with the apple pie for dessert. I think it got microwaved as the pie was super hot in spots. Other than that the pie was great with actual apples and not a sugary apple filing.NOFO will be in the regular rotation."

MoJo's Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (97) • $

"TLDR: Phenomenal customer service plus great food at a reasonable price.Note: they are located on Timer drive not on the Wake Tech campus. Their past location still shows up on Google maps even though they have requested its removal.We have ordered food here a few times. I am always impressed by the flavors, portions, and prices. Plus it is easy to call in an order or place one online. I like the comment/notes section when ordering online. The employees here read all the notes and answer any questions you may have. Most recently we ordered a 12 inch cheesesteak ($7.69), chicken Caesar salad ($7.49), baklava ($2), and gyro pita ($6.49). Our food is always ready on time and accurate. The cashier (owner?) is awesome. He is so kind and helpful. He seems to form a personal connection with each customer, making for special and unique experiences. In addition to the excellent customer service, you get a satisfying meal at a reasonable price. We highly recommend ordering from here!"

Poole's

★★★★☆ 4 (1032) • $$$

"Poole's has become an iconic institution in downtown Raleigh and doesn't disappoint. Housed in an old diner, the vibe is one of an active, high energy diner. Ashley Christensen's modern interpretation of Southern comfort food is amazing. We started with the Bibb lettuce salad which was amazing! Our entree was the Royal with cheese which is an off-menu item only offered on Sundays. Sides included Brussels sprouts and the do-not-miss mac and chess au gratin. The four of us split the salad and sides and we shared two Royals. Service was spot on. Attentive, knowledgeable, and very personable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience."

Flask & Beaker

★★★★☆ 3.5 (28)

"I live at the apartment complex down the road from here and have enjoyed strolling over on summer evenings to enjoy a drink and sunset. While the food is mediocre and overpriced, I love their patio and enjoying the weather while sipping on something refreshing. I love the academic theme as well. They also serve howling cow ice cream!"

BurgerFi

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (132) • $$

"I was super excited to eat at Burger Fi. But the Burger was so-so. Nothing to write home to momma about! The worst part was, I decided to get a soda for the first time in a long time and both soda machines were out of everything but ginger ale and Dr Pepper. The staff didn't seem to care so I got iced tea. I guess it's safe to say I won't be going back there"

American Hero Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (27)

"Best subs in town! Not only is the bread and meat is always fresh, the staff great! Each time I've come here, owners were pleasant, areas were clean and food is consistent. The desserts are delicious as well."

Greek Basma

★★★★★ 4.5 (138) • $

"Authentic food cooked fresh. We dined in and the order was ready quickly. The chicken was a bit dry but I'm hoping that's a one off and everything else was great! Rice was delicious, homeade cucumber tzatziki and hummus are served alongside the kabob with warm pita! I love greek food and this hit the spot. Seems to be a very popular "to-go" spot but inside was clean and staff were friendly. Support local!"

Geer Street Garden

★★★★☆ 3.6 (449)

"We came here after finding out the Durham Food Hall was closed on Mondays. So glad we decided to come here. Today's special with raviolis and jalapeño and cheddar hush puppies were great. I've been here for brunch and wasn't super impressed. We may have to give it another try."

Gravy

★★★★☆ 3.8 (792) • $$

"I was told by numerous people to check out Gravy as the food was amazing. Amazing was a stretch as the gnocchi that was recommended as well was super rich, thick, and heavy. There was a lack of flavor, but heavy on the sauce and cream. I think due to this, the flavor of the peppers and other seasonings were drowned out.Three stars overall for the service and the people. My server was very kind and helpful. When she asked if I liked the gnocchi and I was honest with her, she quickly asked me what else I wanted, asked no questions, and got me something else. I decided to order the salada sandwich, which was a grilled mushroom pattie topped with grilled tomatoes and spinach. It lacked a lot of flavor, but adding the Caesar dressing and parmessian cheese helped.The food does not live up to its name or reputation, and that is why I won't return. Continue to have amazing service while improving the food!"

The Nasher Café - Durham

★★★★☆ 3.9 (71) • $$

"I heard is a thing at Duke to get brunch at Nasher's so I went to try it out!! I got the smoked salmon benedict and it was pretty solid. Loved the generous serving of smoked salmon and how the hollandaise sauce was creamy but not too egg yolk heavy. Wish the poached eggs were a little larger but still tasted good over all. Also got to try the salmon omelet which also had lots of cooked salmon and cappers. This cafe is tucked inside the Nasher museum but it was spacious with lots of natural light and seating in/outdoors. Definitely try to get a reservation ahead of time or you can also call the morning of your visit to see if there are additional open spots. If you roll up without one you can also join the waitlist and check out the museum in the meantime.The lady in the front was super nice and friendly but servers were a little busy throughout our meal. I wanted to get some black pepper but no one checked in and I wasn't able to get anyone's attention until I was done with my food."

Back Then Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (64) • $$

"Back Then Bar and Grill was a good option for lunch. My mom and I both started off with a beer then it was the BLT with tater tots for me and the champagne chicken for her. The food and service were both good. I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu items soon."

Seaboard Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (39)

"I dont give 5 stars too often. This spot is a treat. The dining is set inside a cool garden center. The owner is super friendly who runs a great operation and passionate about being the best. He makes you feel welcome and in genuinely grateful for your business. They are famous for their pickled carrots."

William's Gourmet Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (228)

"I ate here on a Monday morning for breakfast. - There was no wait when I walked in. - This place is super cheap. My croissant sandwich with a drink and hash browns was $8! - My breakfast was excellent."

The Carolina Dining Room

"Legit 5 start experience.On a guys golf weekend with 12 of us.We had the dining package at the hotel which included the breakfast buffet.It starts at 6am and it's very popular so get there early.They REQUIRE collar shirt.An amazing selection of fresh breakfast options to include a custom omelet station. They had three different types of sausages as well as bacon and ham.A wide selection of fresh fruits including kiwi and dragon fruit.Muffins, buns and bagels to include lox and cream cheese which was very fresh.The coffee pots are sat on the table when you arrive and they just keep them coming with fresh brewed and excellent coffee.We also had dinner there which was something of a mix review.Those that had the steak entree's were not favorable.The service is amazing!"

Venable Rotisserie Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.9 (281) • $$

"Had an excellent lunch, especially as what I ordered did not sound that exciting. I got there early and decided to get the calamari. I had just assumed it was fried calamari, realized it wasn't after I ordered it and was resigned to getting a dish I would just work through, as I am not a huge calamari fan normally outside of fried. Turns out it was fantastic. The calamari was not at all chewy, usually my big complaint, and the tomato/red pepper sauce was incredible. I easily ate all the pieces and was dying to lick the plate it was so good. I decided to go healthy with the main and went with the Cobb salad, also excellent. All of the ingredients were fresh and the Green Goddess dressing excellent, did not overpower the salad but also made it flavorful and interesting. The menu is not huge but what I had was done perfectly."

The Eddy Pub

★★★★☆ 3.9 (195)

"We wanted to grab something to eat after staying in Mebane overnight, and as usual, my wife did her research. She chose the Eddy because it looked like just the kind of place we love. Excellent food in a quaint small town and within a renovated commercial building in an area we had not yet explored. We arrived in the small community of Saxapahaw which sits on the edge of the Haw river. We pulled up on the building that houses the Eddy Pub and immediately thought it was very cool. Without knowing the history of the building at the time, it appeared to be an old mill of some sort. As I said, my wife had done her research and learned it was highly recommended to make a reservation on the weekend especially. She was able to easily make a reservation early that same morning for 10am when they opened. We walked in a few minutes early and appeared to be the first customers of the day. We provided our name for the reservation and were immediately seated within this beautiful and cool space. We were told their menu was offered via QR code but were also asked if we would like a printed menu as well, which we appreciated. We were sat at a table for two against a wall of windows adjacent to an outdoor patio area. We began looking over the menu when our drink orders were taken by two young ladies, one of which was training the other. I tend to order lunch items while my wife enjoys breakfast and the brunch menu offered several great options for each of us. My wife chose the ---- omelette with fresh fruit as well as the biscuit with jelly while I chose the ----- hamburger with fries. We also ordered the pimento cheese fries which were highly recommended via the Yelp reviews. The pimento cheese fries arrived shortly after and looked delicious! We also liked the fact they were served in a small cast iron pan. Perfectly prepared, they were crisp and flavorful. We also noticed a small bottle on our table without a label and inquired with our servers. They told us it was a chipotle hot sauce. It looked great so we decided to give it a try. We really enjoyed it and did not find it too hot. We also learned this is one of the products available for purchase. Needless to say, a bottle came home with us. Our meals arrived a short time later and also looked fantastic. My wife enjoyed her omelette packed with lots of ingredients and the fresh fruit was great also. She also really enjoyed the biscuit with homemade jelly, she said it was perfect! My burger and fries was also very good. Our servers, were also extremely attentive and friendly. Honestly, everything about our experience was perfect!We will absolutely return and also feel this would be a great stop when we have family or friends visiting."
