“Fathers Day Brunch fantastic food was excellent service was superb recommend highly“

“I love this place!! It is one of my favorite spots in town. It’s comfortable, classy, clean and feels nice without feeling stuffy. A great place for a lunch meeting with co-workers, brunch with friends or catching up on your emails on a weekday. A few of my favorite items are the brioche French toast, the cali Benedict, and their breakfast burrito. They offer side options of dressed greens or potatoes both of which are delicious. I also love the mint lemonade and their London fog tea latte.

This place feels uniquely and wonderfully Carrboro to me and I love the overall feel.

This is my go-to place to take folks who are visiting from out of town because everyone can find something good to eat. The prices are reasonable and the portions are nice (not too big not too small). I love that they allow laptops during the week so I can get my work done but not on the weekends so the tables keep moving and there’s not too much of a wait.“

“Absolutely fantastic restaurant!!! One of my favorites since they opened!!!“

“My husband and I absolutely love Aidan's Pizza! We love that it is a small family business with great prices, excellent customer service, and high quality food. We have ordered many times and are always thoroughly satisfied with our meal. The Cheese Steak is delicious: perfectly cooked meat, toasty bread, cheesy, and well seasoned! We have tried the cheese sticks (the small is very generous!), the Kickin Tarheel Pizza, the Sweet Carolina Pizza, the Greek Goddess pizza (pictured), and the Caprese pizza. The pizzas are always fresh with generous toppings and delicious crust. Give Aidan's a try - you're missing out otherwise!“

“We went in the middle of the week, celebrating a 50th birthday party. We were a small group. We had the delight of having Mitch as our server, he was incredibly patient with those with allergies and anxiety. Thank you for that Mitch. It was a moment that everyone at the table was grateful for. We later went back in the week to get the Brilliant Cheeseburgers to go. 100 stars.“

“Best oysters with chimichurri sauce delicious! pair with cocktails beautifully prepared entrées.“

“Many of us are addicted to new Hope market because the quality of the food is so high and consistent! Delicious and buried prepared foods and the best desserts, several, probably 12 to 15 different desserts available daily that are freshly prepared.“

“The hotel is undergoing remodeling- the effect on the restaurant is that the windows are frosted so you cannot see outside. This makes it feel more cozy and intimate but i prefer to have a view of the golf course. This should be short lived renovations. Everything else is great at the restaurant.“

“Visited this location for lunch, and was less than impressed. Our table had the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich w/fries, cream of potato soup, cascade sald, and lavender latte. The sandwich was okay, but lacked the flavor and moistness southern buttermilk friend chicken. The salad was fine. The cream of potato soup, tasted like cream water, lacking actual potato flavor. Highlight of the dish were the fries, which were fantastic. And the lavendar latte was good as well. Service was good, as well atmosphere, but it was quite chilling in the venue, so dress warm.“

“Love their Fried Green Tomatoes and Steak Frites!!“

“The food was outstanding and the portions were very generous. The wait staff was very nice. The only problem was that two of our meals took a very long time to come to our table. Three meals were delivered quickly and those meals were finished before the two remaining were served (salad and nachos).“

“Perfect place to celebrate my Mom’s 75th Birthday. All around great experience. Gabriel was an amazing server, and the staff were friendly and helpful!“

“Had a great experience here ! Taylor was a great server , will definitely be back and will be asking for her !!“

“It sits nestled at a busy locale off the main strip. It can be easier or more difficult to get in/out depending on what direction you're coming from. The spot was definitely busy with customers around the lunch hour. The menu has good selections but not too overwhelming with choices. I decided to try the dogs and made it a combo. Order taking and check out was quick. This is not a sit in place. Instead you walk up to the order window and go for it. The server lady was professional when taking my order. To get my food took about 15 minutes. Everything was good overall. My only quirk was that it didn't seem like a lot of food. I definitely recommend you stop by and check it out when in the area.“

“good presentation on food and God customer service. No wait.“

“Loved the friendly atmosphere and dog friendly“

“Went there for the 1st time today with friends we had been going to MacD's for breakfast once a week but the new high melanin mgr has destroyed it! 2 weeks in a row they had NO drinks thats right no drinks except water and orange juice so it was time to move on. Well I want to thank the new high melanin mgr because Sunshine is head above what they ever were so thanks for running us off we found a REAL GOOD place to have breakfast! The biscuits are large and very good so eat here forget the others in the area this is the place.“

“Atmosphere is awesome and food was good“

“Twinnie’s has quickly become one of my favorite eateries at Duke! I come here at least once a week and it is always a pleasure to see the team. Special shout out to Jack who never fails to make my day! He is so kind, fun to chat with, and full of great recommendations. The food is top notch (cafe style entrées and drinks); seriously everything here is delicious. I’d recommend trying the daily specials or the classic Chicken Pita. Also, the seasonal pumpkin latte is back! I just drank it for the first time today and it won’t be my last. Check out Twinnie’s for good food and good vibes :)“

Contact her via WhatsApp through the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“
