We had the delight of having Mitch as our server, he was incredibly patient with those with allergies and anxiety. Thank you for that Mitch.

“Phenomenal mango or peach pico de gallo. Definitely the best I’ve ever had. Their pupusas are so friggin good as well! We go to Durham farmers market every week just to buy from these guys! Get there early, because they sell out of the pico quickly“

“I ordered the chickpea tuna along with a smoothie and it was delicious 😋“

“Some of the absolute best food around! Merritt’s has now become out “go-to” place for pregame foot before all Tar Heel events! Best burgers/BLTs/pimento cheese/soup and everything else you can think of anywhere around!!! Cannot go wrong with a stop into Merritt’s!“

“Went in craving a root beer float and sadly they did not have it available. Mel, the store manger, got us right. He told us if we went and got root beer, he would make it for us. Went to raising canes, bought root beer, brought it back. Mel gladly took the root beer and made perfect float. Great experience, great float, friendly staff that went above and beyond to make my experience enjoyable. Would definetly recommend. Especially with canes root beer.
10/5 stars“

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

“My husband and I visited Momo's Master for the first time this evening and had a wonderful experience. We tried Steamed Momo's with veggie filling served with 2 of their signature dipping sauces, and Himalayan Fried Rice (vegetarian). It was great to see the option for both masala tea and coffee on the menu, especially in a downtown Chapel Hill restaurant, therefore we had to try both Himalayan Masala Tea and Himalayan Coffee, and we were glad that we did. I usually do not write reviews but when the food is that good, I do. The momos were one of the best we have had so far and the flavors of both the signature sauces blended well with that of momos. Himalayan fried rice was hot, spicy and very good. The Punjabi guy, Sukhi, and Usha (from Nepal) - both chefs, were great; Sukhi came and asked us how everything was and ensured that it was to our liking. Both Himalayan Masala Tea and Himalayan coffee tasted good, especially Himalayan Masala Tea was really good. The place has a nice, comfortable ambiance. We look forward to visiting the restaurant again and enjoying the food in near future. Highly recommend.“

“The food was excellent, the staff was friendly, and it’s reasonably priced. Highly recommend!“

“Karen was an amazing server! The food is great and the atmosphere is amazing.“

“Had the BEST FOOD. The owner and staff are so friendly. We go back as often as possible even when we lived in Florida. Family lives in Chapel Hill and it’s our go to place for great food when we are there.“

“Fresh, unique, and delicious!“

“Fantastic healthy meal choices and a hot and cold drink selection that helps you power through any task.“

“delicious food, peaceful invironment“

“Best bagels in the area! Staff is great and we appreciate seeing the owner working the counter from time to time. Try the challah bread!!!

Parking: Easy if you come early enough. Lot out back and street parking out front.

Kid-friendliness: Great with kids. They have stickers :)“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I appreciate those salads.“

“We’ve been here a few times, but this is my first time leaving a review. The staff was great as always. The food is always great, but it was suggested I try the BBQ Tofu; it was so good! I also enjoy the fact that the music is always a whole vibe. We were treated to rendition of “ ‘Cause I Love You” by Lenny Williams. When I tell you the employee was SANGIN’, I tell you she was SANGIN’. Just a great experience all-in-all.

Vegetarian options: I’m actually a vegan, and there were plenty of options with the “Create Your Own Bowl.”“

“love this place! cool, inclusive atmosphere. great food and even better people!“

“I recently photographed a wedding at The Honeysuckle Tea House, and while the rain kept me from exploring the grounds as much as I’d have liked, it’s clear this is a unique and charming venue. The rustic, cozy atmosphere inside made for a warm and inviting setting despite the weather, and the surrounding greenery added a beautiful, natural backdrop. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the event, which made the day run smoothly. I can only imagine how lovely the outdoor areas must be on a clear day—definitely a venue worth considering for anyone wanting a scenic, laid-back space with great hospitality.“

“I’ve been ordering meals from Goodness Cooks for a month or so now, and I am extremely impressed. Every single dish they make is an absolute home run; seriously, some of the best food I’ve ever had. Not only are the ingredients incredibly fresh and healthy, but it’s clear that a lot of thought and care go into every meal. For anyone looking for delicious, nutritious meals without the hassle of cooking, this is as good as it gets. I cannot recommend them enough and feel very fortunate to have these folks in my town!“

“What an amazing experience we had! From the front door to the table it was the most professional and hospitable treatment we've ever experienced...and we love to eat out! Here's some examples; when the Executive Chef, Bob, found out that it was our first time in he immediately took a knee by our table to tell us about the highlights of the menu! Our waiter, Mossimo, had perfect timing with every course. Showed us their gluten free pasta options and never missed a beat with his other guests. II Palio is the absolute best Italian restaurant I've ever experienced and should be recognized as a flagship for hospitality in the restaurant industry! We will be back!“

“Classic Franklin Street bar and restaurant“

“loved the homemade pickles.. hush puppies and catfish!“

“Since I moved to Chapel Hill, Lucha Tigre has been my favorite restaurant. Their service and quality can’t be denied, but I am so upset that the Asian Glazed Chicken (my favorite dish) has been removed from the menu.“

“Awesome all the way around !“

“Super tasty pizza, fair prices. Children's drinks were not charged at all. Service very very friendly and helpful. You can eat well and comfortably outside.
We would come back if we didn't live so far away.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free meals possible“

“Visited for the first time tonight and we will definitely be back. Right off the bat, the employees were friendly, professional, and accommodating. Our water glasses stayed full and our cocktails were delicious. The food was phenomenal—appetizer, entrées, and dessert. The presentation was lovely and the taste was divine. The Whipped Feta & Fig Crostinis were a surprise hit! My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Red Cream Paneer Curry and I couldn’t get enough of the Tagliatelle Pasta Alfredo with Wild Mushrooms and Shiitake Bacon. The ice cream sundae was great, too! It was my first time tasting non-dairy ice cream that actually tastes good! Given the quality and care taken to provide vegan food that is THIS tasty, I think the pricing is fair, especially when compared to other local cafés/bistros/restaurants in the area. Casual, kid-friendly atmosphere, but still nice enough for a date night. Can’t wait to come back!“

“My birthday dinner was great!“

“Good food. Chips too salty.“

“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.“

“We were literally passing through Chapel Hill on the way to Charlotte. Carolina Brewery had availability, so we headed in. So glad that we did. Very comfortable and casual. Despite being crowded we were sat immediately in a comfortable booth. Our serve was great, very attentive and our dinner was delicious. This is a great spot.“

“I am in town and really wanted to eat healthy. This place was close and the young man who wanted on me was very helpful. I told him I had never been there before so he explained all my options. The proportions were reasonable, but probably for a grown man it might not be enough. I actually didn’t put any protein on my bowl because I’m a vegetarian so this was a great option for me. The flavor was wonderful. I think it was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had in a long time. They could keep the bar a little more cleaned up and the avocado was bad so I asked him to give me a fresh avocado which she did without any complaints . I will go back here and eat, and I think the prices are reasonable as well. Just needs a little your observation to the details around the restaurant. Keeping everything fresh is really important us to setting like this. I love it!“

“Absolutely love the food here, and the price is pretty good. The horchata is great and one of my go-tos here. Also, the desserts are legendary: churros are made fresh and the flan is one of the best I've ever had. Overall, this place has a great vibe and it's one of if not my favorite spots in Franklin street.“
