They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“

“Amazing food, service and cool location.“

“10/10 recommend. That’s all I gotta say.“

“Classic roadhouse and local bar. I've seen some great bands perform here as well. I especially love the ability to wander around the property, or chill outside on a summer night. Solid staff & easy going people.“

“never disappointed stopped in today for a late lunch 2 hours before the Duke Carolina game it was packed but only took 15 minutes to get served. it was outstanding!“

“We are new to NC and Chapel Hill area and decided to stop and try an early dinner here. Never heard of it nor been before. Originated from the Bay Area, CA where there are plenty of Mexican restaurants. I gotta say, and being 100% honest here… I had the BEST and HUGEST and DELICIOUS Burrito I have ever had!! Soo much taste and amazing flavors! And not one, not two, but 3 types of protein inside, along with beans and rice and explosions of amazing tastes!!! It had chicken, carne asada and some spicy chorizo!! The server was pleasant and explained some of his favorites, of which included this burrito. HE prewarned me that it was HUGE and I would definitely be taking some home! I’ll see about that I said! Ha! He was right! I took a third of it home! Anyway, totally looking forward to going back and I am definitely having the same thing!!! Look at this HUGE work of art!!“

“The food was fine overall — the fig salad was very good and the affogato was delicious (with caramel sauce-delicioso). The grilled bruschetta didn't seem grilled — it was lightly toasted rather than the charred rustic bread I expected. And I thought there was too much piled on it. I didn't taste the pastas but my table mates enjoyed theirs. The service was superb— sweet and friendly and accommodating. Bravo for Massimo! He made the night enjoyable for us. Eating outside added to the ambience and felt a little more authentically Italian despite “Volare” playing in the background.“

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

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

“Great coffee in a lovely location!“

“I just left and the noodle bowl and food is INCREDIBLE! Well done @northsidedistrict“

“Fabulous food, and very friendly service.
This really is a predominantly takeout location, but I've got to give it 5 stars because they have a huge bottle of hand sanitizer for customers and a candy bowl for kids. It was an ideal takeout experience with an active kiddo in tow.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly.“

“Food was delicious. Very happy.“

“Enjoyed a great night there for a memorial celebration. Owner, and his staff went out of there way to ensure everyone had a wonderful time. All the food dishes were excellent and service was quick. Great place to eat and drink with friends or make new ones.“

“Yummy food & very friendly owners!“

“half and half tea constantly “inconsistent”. either watered down, melted ice,just sweet tea, just unsweetened tea. I visit this chick fil a 2 times a week, the 1/2 sweet tea is NEVER right!! tea is generally watered done.
I visit other chick fil an and they generally have good tea.“

“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!“

“Good food. Chips too salty.“

“Best bubble tea place in town :) Milk tea, thai tea and mango-peach smoothie is my favourite! Love it“

“A good ambiance for a relaxing lunch with a friend. Bright, fun place, nice staff. Good menu, both healthy and fun options. I had the steak sandwich with fries. The fries were great, I liked the sandwich but thought it was a little light on the steak. Overall a good lunch option (with parking).“

“Phenomenal burgers and dogs plus daily specials from the awesome chef-owner! Hand cut fries, local taps, shakes, awesome staff, and family takeout meals on Wednesday nights!!! Go see Carmine and the gang and have a great meal!“

“The best thing here is the gelato. It’s super high end. Smoothies >$7 latte >$7. Served in to go cups. Not a ton of natural lighting, but some seating decent for working. The gelato is really nice actually, esp spicy mango.

Some outdoor seating.

I have had their smoothies and one of their lattes, Rocky Mountain latte. I asked for less sweet and it was still too sweet to finish.“

“real good food taheels atmosphere!“

“We were married at the Teahouse in early November and could not have asked for a better night. We've loved the Teahouse since before they became an established wedding venue, so we knew it would be the perfect spot for us to celebrate.

They've been making a lot of gorgeous changes & updates to the property that really make it special! The grounds are full of spots for gorgeous photos, and the indoor/outdoor spaces are perfect for the flow of guests dancing, mingling, drinking and eating throughout the night.

Sandy, the venue's do-it-all person, was extremely helpful, informative, laid back and put together from the start. I believe it was Sandy who designed the custom cocktails we chose for the wedding - both used teas from the Teahouse and were so delicious. We got a ton of compliments from our guests on both the food (tortellini! so good!) and drinks. Thanks again Svetlana, Sandy, and team for all of your help making our special celebration magical.“

“Great food quality. Friendly owners. 100% sanitation grade by health dept.“

“Nice old gritty yogurt shop, a Chapel Hill staple. Yogurt/cones are great. The sloping, hand rail-less, sharp-edged brick steps are a death trap, no idea how this passes any city standards. But the yogurt is good and you get to watch people trip on the steps as they try to get in and out.“

“Best bar and pool hall in Chapel Hill...has been for years! Mandey is the best!“

“Great food, atmosphere, cold beer“

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

“Excellent food & great service“

“Food was Delicious!! Waitress was nice and inviting!“

“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).“

“We stumbled upon this place after a tour of the college, and boy am I glad we did! It was the authentic pizza my Italian hubs needed down here! It was so good we ordered a pizza to bring home to Wilmington with us! We will definitely be back, I need to try the rest of that menu.“

“Best food in the area! Eduardo is our favorite waiter. He is so friendly and always goes the extra mile. All of the staff is great but he is always so kind to us. We go once per week. Seriously best Mexican in the area. Better than Monterrey!“

“The ultra laid-back open air beer garden in Chapel Hill. Nostalgia central for alumni since 1972.“

“never disappointed stopped in today for a late lunch 2 hours before the Duke Carolina game it was packed but only took 15 minutes to get served. it was outstanding!“

“Very reasonably priced breakfast, where both food and service were great. Well worth waiting if you can't get a table immediately. I had the create your own omelet and was very pleased with my meal. I hope it's not another 30+ years between visits.“

“Their Strawberry Boba Milk Tea is to die for!! Make sure you get the strawberry popping boba pearls too!! Spicy 9 has Great Vibes, restaurant is always clean and looks amazing. Staff is very friendly and courteous and the music is always great and creates a whole vibe!! Definitely a great spot to check out when in #“

“The food was amazing and fresh, but the service was okay but not welcoming or helpful. They didn't help when trying to order, we were the only ones there and just placed our food on the counter not saying a word to us (we were not sitted where the counter was in eyesight) that it was ready. When arriving we didn't know if we were supposed to sit on our own or wait to be seated and once we just sat we didn't know we were supposed to go up there to order at the counter. Nothing there was clear at all, BUT the food was good.“

“We love Alfredo’s! Definitely our favorite pizza place in the Triangle! Everything we have had there is great-from the pizza to the eggplant parm sub to the antipasto! The staff are very friendly too, including Alfredo himself!“

“Nice selection of teas (bubble, milk, straight) and light food / snacks (tempura shrimp, udon noodles, etc.)“

“This is the best southern home cooking I have had in a long time! The biscuits are so big and fluffy, the fried chicken and veggies were perfect. And the customer service from the owner was amazing! I highly recommend this place!“

“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.“

“Always delicious!“
