This spot ROCKS! Love the upstairs fairy light rustic vibes. The Caesar salad is award winning. Mac n cheese was also impressive. They have a nice selection of beers too. Pretty casual, but in a nice way. Apparently the fries are delightful.

Would happily come back. $12-18 for food.

We showed up at closing time and they didn’t have anything left and we did not want to bother the chefs so we walked away and sat down. They brought out a huge plate of delicious fries to apologize to us for being closed, completely unnecessary but just a great gesture. Can’t wait to come back and try out their food.

If you read my reviews, don’t typically put five stars on all the elements but this place is for sure 5 stars plus . The atmosphere is great. The food is made from scratch and the service is outstanding. It is a hidden jump for sure.

The owner is a straight up bully. She is online putting other Chefs down for being "overly confident". It's sick.

$7.11 for a draft IPA. I'd rather go buy a 6 pack and drink elsewhere. The food truck was "overwhelmed" and wouldn't allow orders (placed only online) for about 1.5 hours. If you're fine with overpaying for beer and inconsistent food service, then this is your spot.

We live in the area and are so happy to have this unique option. Love our beers, so we love the wide selection. The food truck delivers satisfying food, and recently we're happy to see the expanded menu with daily specials. Very simple, but that's all we want!

In three days eating out in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area, this was was the most fresh, well-seasoned, and best portioned food I’ve had. The fries are second-to-none and there’ll be a lot of em (shareable size). The wings are actual wings - tip, flat, drum - and the sauce is ? (for a lack of a better word). These guys are friendly, service oriented, and very accommodating! I’ll be back. Also for the beer, since they’re serving Boulevard Tank 7 at Franklin Motors, whom they share their outdoor seating with. Also, they’re pet friendly, which another brewery down the road was not. Glad we came here to spend our hard earned money.

The food here is great and the chef is very accommodating. I enjoyed the cheeseburger sliders and fries. It is very evident that they care here about the customer experience. We enjoyed our lunch here. Much more than a popular place down the street. Thank you to the Roquette at Franklin Motors!

Have always walked by this place and just haven’t had the chance to go in. We decided to go this past weekend and wish we came sooner. Super cool spot where they serve good drinks and upscale food truck type food that is so good. Food and drinks are a little pricey but the vibe of the place is worth it.

I ate here a few weeks back and really loved the vibe! The food was pretty great for bar food.

The only thing I might criticize is: when I think beer garden/biergarten, I think it truly necessitates a Bavarian influence. Something like bratwurst and soft pretzels would really keep me coming back!! In my home country, this kind of thing is standard at all beer gardens.

Franklin motors is the best spot in Chapel Hill for a relaxing early evening draft. Excellent menu and the staff are all terrifically nice. And overall outstanding experience.
