26 Best American Restaurants in Southern Pines

“I had lunch today at Chapman’s. They had a risotto special and I decided to take a walk on the wild side, instead of ordering my go to. It was so good! It had shrimp, spinach,and a few other things in it. The portion was huge. It was definitely a win! I hope they will serve it again sometime. He server was great and very pleasant.Thanks Chapmans!“

“Every time we go we have an amazing experience. We have visited throughout the years and it’s always good. Great food and excellent cocktails with a cozy atmosphere . I advise sitting on the pub side. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love Betsy’s. It is our favorite go to breakfast spot.“

“They served roast beef sandwich and called it prime rib. Cobb salad is a joke! Where's the meat....chicken and bacon.“

“I am 46 years old and I just recently formed a core memory from eating at 195. When I say this was possibly the best meal of my life, it is only because I cannot remember loving what I was eating more. It was that kind of meal that becomes the topic of conversation for days to come. Somebody in that kitchen knows what the f*** they are doing.“

“Had an amazing experience this past weekend, we brought both my parents and five month old daughter for an early seating. The steak special was 10oz and even had a langoustine cheese topping, chunks of lobster yum!!, mom had the barramundi fish special and the white Bordeaux blend were outstanding. Love how there are constantly specials changing but some of our favorites (the duck and hangar steak) remain on the menu. Attentive staff had pairing recommendations and everyone felt the warm, positive vibes coming from the kitchen! We’ve eaten here for years and this past weekend was next level, thank you!“

“I like the Bell Tree Tavern usually. A few days ago, had the Potato soup on Tuesday. It had a sour taste that me and an older lady at a close by table noticed and told our respective waitresses. It was rancid. I asked for them to talk to the kitchen…. Nada. I missed 8 hours of work……roughly $508.“

“Don’t be fooled by the external appearance of the building. It’s a lot larger than expected and the ambiance was comfortable inside as well. I booked through Resy and requested the staff to write a note for my wife, explaining how much I appreciate everything she does. They exceeded expectations and definitely caught my wife off guard as well. The food took a little bit of a wait to arrive at the table but it was amazing and worth the wait. They also do a 10% military discount if anyone is curious.“

“Our Breakfast GO TO! Down home goodness! food and staff are EXCELLENT 😁 my fav order is ...... 2 eggs OM, country ham, grits & a toasted English muffin. I got you hungry now, don't I! you're welcome. go check them out“

“Great food and excellent service! The southwestern chicken pasta was absolutely amazing.“

“The Ice Cream Parlor is my favorite lunch spot in Southern Pines. The business is really symbolic of this charming small-town, and you won’t find another business that’s so integrated in this wonderful community. Enjoy a burger, dog, or cone here and you’ll see why.“

“Typical Donald Ross design! Probably the most undulating greens on any course that I've played that he designed! They redesigned the course a few years ago and added more undulations that Ross would have had in the original design to make the course more difficult, due to some holes being fairly short in distance! They also went back to the original sand hills natural areas instead of rough grass! If you're a great putter , you'll love this course!“

“Had lunch here today and it was delicious. The asparagus soup was out of this world, also the roast beef sandwich was fabulous! The service was excellent! If you are visiting this area anytime in the near future, I highly recommend that you give it a try!“

“Had a great experience last weekend eating here for dinner. Great atmosphere, our food was fantastic and so was our server, James. The owner, Jeff also made a point to come talk to and get to know us. 10/10 experience will absolutely be going back again soon!“

“Irimi was pur server today and was awesome!“

“Great place to meet friendly people, play a game of pool, watch a favorite sports team and more. They host a variety of low key activities as well as a live band on selected nights. Nice place for adults to meet a variety of people in a relaxing atmosphere.“

“👍Frank has really turned this Cracker Barrel around. The service is good and so is the food. I love the lemon peppered trout, the campfire meals, and the breakfasts. Also glad that the logo is not being changed.“

“Stumbled across this spot for lunch & was so impressed. I had the steak frites and it was amazing, cooked perfectly with amazing garnishes & bone marrow. Fries were phenomenal and the sprouts were perfectly roasted. My fiance had the stuffed chicken and also cleaned his plate. We already can’t wait to go back! Our waiter was extremely attentive as well!“

“Found this gem on Yelp. Visited with my husband, my son, and his girlfriend. The food was so good and the flavor profiles excellent. My husband and I split a cup of the seafood chowder - fabulous. I had the Mexican shrimp tacos, my husband had the special quiche, my son had a taco that was supposed to come on a flour tortilla, but they gladly substituted corn, and his girlfriend had the salmon wraps. At the end we split a piece of peanut butter pie. The food was all delicious including the sides of homemade regular and sweet potato chips and the broccoli slaw. We will definitely go back. As we left the owner took our pictures with our motorcycles pulled up to the entry. Awesome“

“Great food! Staff was friendly and a nice family gave me recommendations! All around feet first visit!“

“The Fire Cracker Shrimp Is Good“

“Live Smithfields but the quality of the chicken has lessened. Split instead of full chicken breaks and tenders are now little tenderloins. Taking a break from here for a while until food prices get better for everyone. Been disappointed the last 3 visits.“

“Very good atmosphere and service. Wait staff was very patient with us. Even waiting 30 min. For all our party to arrive. Will go again.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience deserved one. Our server, Allie, was outstanding from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive, and somehow seemed to appear exactly when we needed something without ever hovering. Drinks stayed full, our food came out perfectly, and she made the whole meal enjoyable.
Genuinely the best server I’ve ever had.“

“Hands down best chain barbecue I’ve had by a long shot and portion sizes are good as well 5/5 would recommend, ask about their catering services as well👍“
