24 Best American Restaurants in Chapel Hill

“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.“

“We were literally passing through Chapel Hill on the way to Charlotte. Carolina Brewery had availability, so we headed in. So glad that we did. Very comfortable and casual. Despite being crowded we were sat immediately in a comfortable booth. Our serve was great, very attentive and our dinner was delicious. This is a great spot.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The people make this place really special and the food is wonderful. Peaceful and pretty, this is a spot you won’t want to pass up on. It’s an absolute must!“

“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.“

“Amber was awesome to us and the food was perfect!“

“This is definitely a great place to be for any sports entertainment. The vibe and buzz are extraordinary. But the food is bar food at best. Be especially aware of the fish tacos. Yes, it is nice to see them on the menu since not many places serve them, plus you get 3 total, but the ones here are barely satisfactory bar food. First, they have only thick flour tortillas, and no corn ones. That alone is a fail because the thick flour texture overwhelms the nice shrimp. And they use raw green cabbage, which is terrible. Last, the rice and beans that were served were virtually flavorless. Thumbs down to the shrimp tacos!“

“Classic Franklin Street bar and restaurant“

“Yummy food & very friendly owners!“

“loved the homemade pickles.. hush puppies and catfish!“

“Aside from the amazing staff/ownership, the outstanding beer selection and great food consider the fact that they have received 10 consecutive inspection scores of 100.0 which is unheard of! That matters! Think about the last time the tap line was cleaned at your current choice of bar or restaurant. Tap lines are nasty if not maintained. On any given day at TCP you will see them cleaning the line when they change a keg. If you have not seen this at your current top choice you may want to think about what's in your glass. It is not pretty! Oh, and the tap lines are not inspected. TCP does this because it's the right thing to do!!“

“Great food, atmosphere, cold beer“

“Our server James was amazing. He made sure our order was to perfection and offered great menu selections. I'll certainly be returning. ?

Dietary restrictions: They are very accommodating to dietary restrictions they ask before your order is placed.“

“My mom & I eat here all the time. Friendly fast service & great food. Good selection of beers too“

“I love the food ! Excellent customer service 😋😋“

“Really great variety of Mexican food…on our first visit, we all got the Kahlovera Burrito, recommended by our waiter, and loved it. Definitely want to return and try their margaritas and other dishes. Based on today’s experience, suspect this could be our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Triangle.“

“Fun trivia on Wednesdays at 9pm. Outdoor and indoor seating. Tons of beer / cider on tap. Lively vibe. Super busy on game days. But overall, good energy and a hit. There is a bouncer at the front before getting in so you only need to show ID once. A bit of a line at the bar when it’s busy.“

“Great selection, great service, great place! Your vegan wings are SO GOOD!“
