Been going here for years. Beer good. Food average. Advice always below average. Had worst experience tonight. Several for attitude- asked manage “why “ and he couldn’t provide explanation.. He said.. “ you’ve always been very nice.”” Honestly. Hillsborough unique town. Nickel great location- BUT food and service is BAD. PLUS - previous comments about people not liberal are derogatory

Small place on main road through town. Local eatery with farm to table concept. Had the special, Bourbon Bacon Burger. Bourbon bacon jam, Monterey Jack cheese, pickled red onions, mustard, lettuce. It was delicious! Sat outside on sidewalk like café tables. It was very refreshing.

Spent part of the day in Hillsborough for a special event. Had lunch here. Excellent choice. It is noisy, but it is from everyone having an enjoyable time. We actually were able to catch a seat at Kim's bakery (a must try for baked goods) after their hours. Follow on Facebook for daily specials. There were three of us. They provide water in cute decanters emblazoned with their logo. Two of us don't imbibe, the other person rarely does. Although, we did not get any alcohol, they have a great selection that would complement any menu item. One ordered the classic burger with fries. Cooked perfectly and juicy. He stated that was the tastiest, freshest burger he has ever eaten and his fries were hot and fresh too. My other friend ordered off the special. She got the Ribeye cheese steak like it comes minus the A1. She also got fries. She stated the steak was cooked to perfection and loved her fries. I got the truffle burger. The burger was cooked just like the other one perfect, fresh, and juicy. The arugula was peppery, the onions caramelized, and the truffle aioli tasty. The guyere was ooey gooey goodness. One of the top burgers I have ever eaten. I got the cucumber salad. The best seasoned cukes I have ever put in my mouth. The Mexican coke was the finishing touch.

Hottest hottest wings around. Pretty good beer selection including some seasonals. Get there early on a nice weather day for sidewalk seating.

This is a classic and lively watering hole with great food and awesome staff. The only thing stopping my wife and I from stopping here more often is the fact it is in a different town as we live in Chapel Hill. Every meal we have eaten here we have enjoyed and I personally like the fish tacos and mushroom Swiss burger. They have a nice selection of beer and liquor. Recently I took my wife and sister-in-law here and we all liked our meals very much. There was a little snafu with the bill and it was as much my fault as anybody else's and the management handled the situation better than most would and the issue was resolved in a very friendly manner. The communications on the matter couldn't have been better or more professional. The only issue is that because it is so popular it can be hard to get a table or seat during busy hours. But seriously, hats off to the management and staff including bartender Grant. We like this place, pure and simple and we have met some awesome people here. Can't wait to get back. Cheers

Sooo many good things on the menu but dadgum the chicken sandwich is PERFECT. Amazing rotating beer selection. Service by committee doesn't always work but this place has it down and all servers are top notch. They get busy so get there early if you can. Seriously no notes. One of my favorite places to eat in the Triangle.

I love it here. The beer selection is always fire and the Brewery of the month is one of my favorite things they do! It's also a a Buckeye bar which couldn't make me happier! Drinks are always cold and delicious, the staff is extremely friendly and know a lot of regulars by name, which always makes me wish I lived closer! If you're in Hillsborough, this is a must and a huge mistake if you skip! If you want a snack do not sleep on those fried banana peppers, YUM!!
Pro Tip: the specials change often so always, always check the chalkboard 🙌🤩 I usually always try one and have yet to be disappointed!
