“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card.

“Many of us are addicted to new Hope market because the quality of the food is so high and consistent! Delicious and buried prepared foods and the best desserts, several, probably 12 to 15 different desserts available daily that are freshly prepared.“

“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.“

“Great to have high quality food without all the college crowds and parking issues. I can stop by any night after work, or on the weekends any time and pick up a winner. You should check it out!!🔥“

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

“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“

“Yummy food & very friendly owners!“

“My first time going to Elle‘s Burger shack on market Street in Chapel Hill. I must say the burger was delicious cooked right all the right flavors and seasons. Oh God it was so good. Thanks for my first time experience there I will be back.“

“Great coffee in a lovely location!“

“The waitress we had was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and the outdoor seating was awesome! Food was great😀“

“real good food taheels atmosphere!“

“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.“

“This venue was amazing. I got married here last week and it was beautiful and all the staff was attentive and helpful. Honeysuckle also has their own bar service which we used. They offered several drink options, which most being locally sourced. We also used their catering service and all of the food was exactly what we wanted. Even with some special requests they were so accommodating. They decorated our arch with beautiful greenery and flowers the day of the ceremony and it turned out gorgeous. The only minor issue would be the bridal yurt was very hot and even with the AC it was quite miserable for the whole bridal party, including the makeup and hair artists. But a minor compliant for the space and service we received from all of the Honeysuckle Tea house team. Thank you Sandy!“

“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.“

“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).“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“What an amazing experience it was to come here and have the best food ever. Owen was fantastic, he kept checking up on us and made sure we have everything and was cleaning the tables! Another fantastic job from Josie who took our order and was very nice!“

“Great food, atmosphere, cold beer“

“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!“

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

“Lovely time at Clean Juice! The smoothies are fresh and feel clean, living up to the name well. Staff is also very friendly. In particular, we were served by Evie. She greeted us with a jolly smile before whipping up a beautiful swirl drink. As I was going to rate my drink, she gave me two big special thumbs up. Thanks Evie! Great experience overall.“

“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.“

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

“Giving a 2 star for the food, because although it was very good our food was lukewarm warm to warm at the most. I understand they were busy because of game day, but it still could have been much hotter than it was and we are not ones to complain.“

“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.“
