We wanted to try Imbibe and sample some Cajun food. I ordered a half Mufeletta and my partner in crime, an oyster Po Boy. And since I hadn't had a cheese curd in 20 years, I had to order them as well.

Probably no surprise, it was a lot of food. The "half" Mufeletta was huge! I ended up only eating half of the half. It was quite good, certainly something different for me. My wife thought her Po Boy was fantastic. I had a bite and it was super good. The cheese curds were as good as I remembered.

So, Imbibe was a nice experience. I'll look forward to visiting again and trying some different items from the menu.

Rougarou and Zog’s upstairs are more than a great restaurant/bar. They are a much-loved third space. Come here for great food, reasonably priced cocktails, and a bit of community. From Trivia Night to Stand Up Comedy to Jazz Brunch, there’s always something fun going on at Rougarou.

Great food! Really enjoyed everything I ordered and will be eating here frequently. Crazy amazing softshell crab, great fried oysters, love the pickles and the potato salad was wonderful. This is the real deal for great fresh seafood with great flavors located right here in CH.

Go forth & IMBIBE.

Favorite place for dinner! The food is great and fresh and an excellent $ value. My gf loves all the different drinks offered and I’m glad to enjoy a cream soda during jazz night. Great for game nights too! I always bring out of town visitors here to show them a good time!Always get the cheese curds!

Stopped by Rougarou for lunch today, I was impressed. Great food, great service, and great prices. Got a PoBoy and potato salad, yum! In my younger years I worked in southern Louisiana and this place brought back memories. Looking forward to going back to Rougarou soon to try out some of the other menu items!

This is a Hidden Gem!.... Absolutely fabulous restaurant with Incredible food and Mandy the owner is simply superb! They have draft beers no one else has, homemade mulled wine, and Mandy's mother makes the desserts which are impossible to beat! Friday is fish special day and the food there is always incredible and made with loving care! I really can't recommend a place higher! Go there with your friends and enjoy a reasonably priced excellent meal with wonderful entertainment most nights!

Vegetarian options: The chef Mandy will work with anybody in any way with their diet restrictions in any way that she can. She goes above and beyond the Call of Duty for each and every customer!

One of the coolest places you'll find to eat in Chapel Hill! Unless you hate flavor I guess. The grits bowls are literally life changing, and I almost left my husband to marry the mussels.I overheard some kiddos tonight telling the owner/chef that they rate her food 100 out of 10 and I can't disagree.

Please improve your 'mimosas'. Not on ice...not with orange drink. Your breakfast sanwiches esp the vegan sausage were good.
