waitress was on phone a lot so we sat waiting for the check for a while. never brought us the condiments we asked for. also made a reservation on open table and when we got to the restaurant they said they didn't have any record of our reservation so we had to wait for a table. food was yummy, just poor service
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).
Excellent sweet potato waffle fries, good craft beer, but they need to find a new recipe for shrimp and grits! Lacking!
We made a reservation a few days ahead of a football Saturday. We were seated right away. Enjoyed the many screens of college games. Good service. Food came quickly.
Love Carolina Brewery!! Great people! Great General Manager! Food is delicious!! We typically go there once a week. Our favs are steak frites, salmon, quesadillas, salads, burgers, wings, pork barbecue sandwich, and fish and chips. Hard to choose :) we always feel at home there - except we don't do the cooking or the dishes LOL
Food and atmosphere were wonderful!! It was slow at the time we went which I was hoping for! Unfortunately our server started off wonderful but the appetizers came out very intermittently (we ordered 3). The last appetizer was brought out right before our meal. Our meals did not come out together and I never received a knife to cut my meat even asking several times, the waiter just kept forgetting and I gave up and ate it anyway so it didn't get too cold. It seems once our order was in he just disappeared and the energy and personality he had to begin with stopped. We drove an hour here to celebrate my son's birthday and we were not even offered dessert.
Apple walnut salad was delicious... Fresh and crisp and excellent dressing! Salmon was cooked to perfection. Margarita was refreshing! Emerson was attentive and provided great service.
My boyfriend and I were seated for 12 minutes before we were served waters as we watched three other tables be seated and had their drinks served. Mind you we had a reservation, the place was not packed whatsoever, and we genuinely thought we were being ignored on purpose so that we would leave.
We had a great time , service was great staff was friendly. Would go often if I lived in Carolina
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.

Arrived and was taken to our table right away. Server got our drink order and gave us time to casually read the menu. Food came to us within about 20 min. Everything was delicious, I had salmon with dirty rice and kale, and the two others at our table had burgers. We were all happy with our meal. Would definitely return!
Came with old friends from out of town. My wife and I split the fish and chips and the harissa chicken bowl. The fries were greasy and undercooked. The harissa bowl seemed like it was hastily assembled by an inexperienced kitchen worker. There was water in the bottom of the bowl (from the lettuce?) and it got soaked into the pita bread. The chicken was way overcooked and stringy (and tasteless). I would normally have sent it all back but did not wish to make a fuss with our friends there. $44 with tip, no drinks.
Staff had great recommendations for drinks and food. The restaurant was not accessibly loud. But it was lively.
Reserved table outside. Seated inside upstairs. Waited an hour for food. Upstairs ladies room disgusting. Downstairs not much better. Husband used restroom and saw a kitchen worker leave without washing hands. Never again!
Our food took almost an hour to come and was stone cold. The fries were burned but also stone cold. We settled for our drink and called it a night, won't be returning. On top of it my order was wrong but sadly kind of irrelevant at that point.
