Food was the best. Waitress was very sweet and kind. The atmosphere very homey. all the food is locally sourced.One recommendation instead of canned sodas I would get a fountain machine. Because one the canned soda the customer may not finish and you waste half a can of soda.

Based on reviews, we went and left disappointed. We waited nearly an hour after ordering for a slice of quiche and a breakfast sandwich. The quiche was good, but the breakfast sandwich was lacking. The sausage was a single thin piece of what seemed to be frozen breakfast sausage. The servers claimed that everyone arrived at once and did not seem apologetic for the wait times for food to arrive. Will probably not be going back.

Our inaugural experience at Midland Bistro left us with mixed feelings and little desire for a swift return. As newcomers to the area, we've been eagerly exploring the local dining scene, but unfortunately, our initial encounter with this establishment didn't quite live up to the hype.Opting for the crab cake benedict with bacon, we were met with a dish that, while undeniably delicious, fell short in terms of portion size and value. The bacon garnish, which was advertised as a key component of the dish, was disappointingly meager, resembling more of a token sliver than a substantial accompaniment. At $20 for what was purportedly a "full order," our expectations were regrettably unmet.While the food itself boasted flavors worthy of commendation, the overall dining experience failed to leave a lasting impression. Service was adequate, if unremarkable, with no notable highlights to speak of. In hindsight, we found ourselves questioning the glowing reviews that had drawn us to Midland Bistro in the first place, as our own encounter lacked the wow factor that we had anticipated.Ultimately, our visit left us feeling underwhelmed and somewhat perplexed by the widespread acclaim. While there's no denying the culinary prowess showcased by the kitchen, the lackluster execution in certain aspects left us hesitant to rush back anytime soon. For now, we'll continue our quest to uncover the gems of the local dining scene, hoping to stumble upon that elusive wow factor elsewhere.

Not very good food and really pricey. $50 for 2 sandwhiches, a salad and 3 fountain drinks...

Stopped in while we were in the area. Loved it. Food, staff & vibe were great. The grilled cheese (croque bistro) was a treat. Loved all the art on display. Definitely want to dine here again.

This is based on a late lunch ~1pm during the week between Christmas and New Years. I had the French dip. It was so delicious and I can't wait to try other things on the menu. I dragged along my seven-year-old son and he wasn't hungry, but enjoyed two hot chocolates. I can't wait to go back. We are in Pinehurst at least twice a year.

Always one of our favorite last minute stops when we’re rolling out of bed late on the weekends. Forever a fan of the home fries and Benedict combo.

This place used to be stellar. It was like a small French snug-in, where you just wanted to stay. Then you wanted to return. But it changed owners. It changed in other ways, too, and not for the better. My wife and I were recently there. We had been going there for years. The seats at the table we chose were full of food scraps. I asked the lady that waited on us to clean the chair next to me because it was disgusting to have to look at the mess. She said, "sure, I'll do that for 'you.'" For me? It should have been for her job, or for the success of the business. Rather, I should never have had to ask. The customer should never have to ask for seats to be cleaned of food. Anyway, she never cleaned the seat. I did, however, succeed in getting another wait person to help. Apart from the lack of cleanliness, my wife says the quiche was good. But the "home fries" we both ordered were limp, as if the air went out of the things. Awful. And the crabcake sandwich I ordered came without a top to its bun. A return trip is not in the offing.

I had the waffles they were very dense. The maple syrup was adequate. The space is rather cold and uninviting

The Trio Fromage-Grilled Cheese on Sourdough was delicious. Served with chips. I had the half sandwich with a half salad which also was wonderful. Our server was very pleasant. Highly recommend Midland Bistro.

Well, when other customers said that the service is bad - I agree with that assessment 100%! Walked in this morning and asked for the window table, and server answered in an aggressive manner that that table would be ready in ten minutes. Then she turned around and mimicked me! Wow! I understand she was busy, but at the same time no need to show her attitude. We were very polite and we were OK to wait! After that my family and I just walked away to never come back.
