Sutton's Drug Store

A Franklin St staple. Got in around 1130 and just beat the lunch rush. No frills, classic sandwiches here - I got a turkey reuben and it was great, I appreciated that they used a thick-sliced and grilled turkey instead of the usual deli meat. Service was fast but as you can see, this place fills up!

While you may think you are walking past a little market/drug store, there is a whole restaurant inside! Sutton's is the cutest little diner with such reasonably priced food. So many classic burger and sandwich options to choose from and they give a generous amount of food (especially for the price!!). The staff is all very hard working.

I was driving from Washington DC to Jacksonville and decided to stop in Chapel Hill for lunch. I happened to get a parking spot right in front of this place, so I decided to have lunch there. It is nicely decorated with tons of UNC jerseys and pictures, so it is a fun place to grab a quick bite to eat. The grill smelled great, and the menu had plenty of sandwiches, wraps and salads to choose from. I ordered the chicken tenders salad, and it was good, but after smelling the onion rings, I wish I had ordered them. Maybe next time!

Cozy booths and photo walls make a great place for casual meals! Service is superb. I love the cold coffee.

One of the few gems of Franklin St that are left. Casual, old school eatery reasonably priced and steeped in UNC history.

Located within walking distance of UNC Chapel Hill, it's an old time drug store with a diner type restaurant. Cheap and cheerful. Service was fast and food was good. What more could you want? We got breakfast and can customize to your liking. My veggie omelette was very tasty and filling.

Great breakfast and lunch spot. Locally owned. Been there many Sunday's for breakfast and enjoy it every time! Until next time, Sutton's!

I showed up an hour before closing (1:30) o have lunch. All by myself I went to eat at the counter and ended up in the corner because the rest of it was covered in dirty dishes and cluttered with carryout containers. Pretty quick service. I ordered a hamburger (clearly not wanting cheese) and milkshake. The burger arrived without a shake and had cheese on it. They took it back to make another and it arrived as ordered, still without a shake. Half way through my burger, I was asked if everything was okay and mentioned my shake. It came right out. I was told they tend to loose focus as it gets close to closing.A UNC tradtion I will not be going to again.

I can fully admit that I am biased towards Sutton's. I used to eat here every Tuesday and Thursday with one of my college roommates. My order hasn't changed much from those days. I'm not a broke college student so I spring for the upgrade on my combo but that's it. My youngest had the burger and fries and he dove in before I could snap a picture. It was as big as his head and he loaded it up with toppings that don't make sense but I don't yuck his yum. For me, I ordered my usual even though it wasn't on special today: the Two Hot Dog Special. It's two hot dogs, fries (upgrade to potato munchers), and a sweet tea. They have all the toppings you want from a soda counter (chili, slaw, onions, ketchup, mustard, jalapeños, pickles, and on). As for the rest of the menu, they have something for everyone. Salads, wraps, chicken tenders, and their milkshakes are the perfect sweet treat at the end of your meal. You can't go wrong with anything at this former pharmacy on Franklin. You might even see your favorite Carolina athlete!

Old pharmacy turned diner with all of the ambience you would want from that. Laid back and family friendly vibe with hard working staff. Diverse menu but hard to say no to the sandwiches and burgers. Can't think of many other places to get a fantastic meal under $10.
