27 Best American Restaurants in Southern Pines

“Love it! One of our go to spots for solid everything. The bar staff, 2 ladies, are absolutely STELLAR in every way. Accuracy of order, consistency on maintaining our happiness, friendly & polite, and extremely hard working women. Won't hesitate to return. As for the food, steak house done right. Steaks, soups, ribs, salads, & the sides you expect were all done correctly & in a timely fashion. If you haven't, you're missing out significantly. ??“

“I totally forgot the name of this dish but it was sooooo delicious this place will officially be my lunch spot!“

“We love Midland Bistro! Nothing can beat the quaint atmosphere and the friendly service. The food is great and always seems to be made with fresh, wholesome ingredients. Some dishes, like the quiche, while delicious, aren’t always quite filling enough (hence then 4 star rating for the food). We make it a point to eat here several times whenever we are in town!“

“The Bell Tree Tavern hosted our schools staff Christmas party and we cannot recommend them enough for your next event or gathering! Matt, the event manager, did an excellent job working with us to create a menu in our price point and had amazing communication throughout the planning process. Their staff was incredibly attentive and did a great job helping our party run smoothly. Now the most important part.... the food! It was absolutely delicious! Our staff has not stopped talking about how great the food was. We look forward to working with The Bell Tree Tavern again and highly suggest them whether its grabbing a bite while you're out or for your next event or party!“

“First time on a RV Park neighbor’s recommendation. Service was quick, food was really good and sizable portions. Waitress very polite and checked back often.“

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

“A great stop for a sweet treat! Besides the more familiar ice cream flavors, they also offer uncommon ones, like lavender & honey and “Nerd Attack,” which is based on the Nerds candy. They also have some vegan options. I had a single scoop of their homemade lavender & honey ice cream. It was creamy, refreshing, and the sweetness was perfectly balanced. It was the cherry on top of a hot evening in the summer!“

“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!“

“Great food, great service, and so accommodating after the Open tournament. We loved everything and will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Irimi was pur server today and was awesome!“

“We were impressed by the level of service we received. Sitting at the bar, we found the bartender to be attentive and personable . The food was wonderful! We ordered the Salmon over risotto and Gnocchi with sausage, both of which were flavorful and well-seasoned. The restaurant is small and quaint, with an atmosphere that might appeal more to an older generation. Nonetheless, I will definitely be back.“

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

“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“

“We celebrated Veterans Day at Cracker Barrel. We were pleasantly surprised by the delicious breakfast and portion size. Our waitress was kind and efficient. Overall we had a great experience!“

“Last time I went it was awful, not sure if it is under new management or what, but this time everything was perfect! I had a med rare filet and my father had a med well filet and like I said, both were perfect. Service was fast, friendly and on point! Only complaint is almost everything on the app menu is "spicy."“

“Tasty, fresh, clean, and healthy food! I’m Enjoying the meals every week. I am loving the low carb. Being It’s just me, it’s much easier than cooking for one. It’s definitely affordable!“

“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.“

“Was in town on Tuesday and decided to stop at Kick Back Jacks and take advantage of the Tuesday special on the Classic Cheeseburger. Always a great choice. It was cooked perfectly just the way I like it. The bartender was friendly and polite and did an excellent job. Although they have an extensive menu our choice to have the burgers was based on our plans for a big dinner later that night. It’s was filling and tasted great. Their menu includes delicious ribs, pizza and several interesting salads that my wife loves. They offer many options for kids also. The bar offers daily specials that will definitely get your attention. I wish there was one closer to home but anytime we are in Fayetteville or Aberdeen this place is a must. Sorry no pictures, I left my phone at home.“

“It has been a long time since I've been to Smithfield The last time I ate in this restaurant was over 5 years ago the atmosphere was dingy The food was so-so and I left quickly did not finish my food it was not a happy time this week when I went to the restaurant I went to a completely different place The food was excellent My fried chicken was crispy and good The coleslaw and the potato salad was delicious in my opinion The place was clean bright very welcoming the customer service was wonderful I realize that not everybody loves fried chicken and barbecue the way I do but now that I've seen the new smithfields I will be back thank you Smith feels for improving everything“

“Omg...I have found my new favorite pulled pork sandwich!! I went here, cause I had a coupon. Unfortunately it didn't work/link never showed for the cashier. I went ahead and order the sandwich anyway, and boy am I glad I did. Not sure what side I wanted, so I ordered fries (not a fan). I'll try a different side next time. The pulled pork was so tender, but had some crunchy pieces (yummy). The fries are fresh cut, and they were wiggly, the flavor was good just not the texture. I highly recommend you sign up, so you can receive rewards, before you come. I definitely will be back, real soon!!“
