I had breakfast here with a friend, and I made the mistake of ordering an egg and cheese (yes, this was a bad pick on my part). My sandwich wasn’t appalling, but it was nothing special. I like the diner atmosphere, but the food didn’t match the vibe. It felt like something you’d get at the worst dining hall on campus, but it was 6 dollars.

Very interesting these places that seem to stop Time! An authenticity in the environment and in the food. Congratulations to the friendly and cordial tb service!

In today's world, with franchise after franchise, it can be easy to forget what true hospitality feels like. When you visit Suttons, you have stepped back in time. This is an home grown American made private business. The service and quality of their food will always trump that of any franchise. Support this business and family with your hospitality and I promise you will be returned the same southern love of NC!

at the time I was there, the menu prices did not match with the prices on the website. I had two hot dogs, fries, and cherry smash. Food was really good. It was not crowded initially, but 15 minutes later, it got busy and a more diverse crowd. I sat next to a jersey signed by Danny Green (sad to hear that he retired recently). It was a nostalgic experience. Last time I was here internet did not exist. Wish they served Pepsi instead of Coca-Cola. Can you guess why : ) ? There are actually two reasons.

Awesome breakfast and lunch spot right on Franklin St. This place is a time capsule of memories for over a century of UNC students and guests. Stop by and grab a meal while browsing 100s of patron pictures hanging all around the restaurant!

This seems like must stop to me — great ambiance, diner-like menu, tasty food, and fun! I would not hesitate to return for a burger, a cheese steak sandwich, or a chicken tender sandwich. Great for families!!

It wasn't the best hot dog I've ever eaten. But I can say I've eaten there now

A Chapel Hill staple. Old school atmosphere and classic diner food. A true experience!
Ok, its a dive. But it's a great, iconic dive. Good food, good prices, nostalgia all in one. Go. You've gotta do it.

While in town for a show @ Cat's Cradle, I stumbled across this establishment stuck in time. Eclectic UNC team photos and alumni adorn the walls and ceiling. A large assortment of soda and odds and ends can be found before entering a diner style area with an obscure pharmacy in the rear. The biscuits were good and the coffee was not bad. Service was above par, but the restrooms are dated and a bit cramped. A must stop for the UNC fan.

This isn’t a knock on Suttons per say but I am super annoyed with the experience I had this morning in regards to the homeless people who harassed my family as we were getting out of the car. I had my 1 year old and wife in the car, when we parallel parked next to the Wells Fargo atm right by the suttons breakfast spot. My wife and I have always loved eating there when she was going to school at UNC. Chapel Hill and the businesses there have slowly let the homeless infiltrate every part of the town. The three men starting approaching me while I was getting my infant out and yelling at us calling my wife shorty! I almost pepper sprayed them but decided just to drive off and give up on eating at our favorite chapel hill breakfast spot that I’ll never visit again, unless they resolve that issue. Had the same situation happen in Harris teeter at car mill in Carrboro where a homeless man was harassing us while we were trying to buy groceries asking us for money IN THE STORE! The “progressive” nature of chapel hill has slowly made this issue worse in my opinion and I’m happy I don’t live there anymore. It would be nice to enjoy the business when we visit family there without feeling in danger, but I guess that’s not a reality for now. Hope none ends up getting hurt. It’s really sad. The state hospital there has essential caused a Mecca for homelessness in that town.
