Restaurants in Chapel Hill

“We just ate lunch at Lime & Lemon for the first time today. Muhammad was so kind and helpful with our hearing impaired son and helping us with food and drink recommendations. We really enjoyed the lunch special with Chicken Tikki Masala. It was very reasonably priced for the generous amount of food we ate. We are traveling, but we will be back when we visit the area again!”

“This was my second time going to Piero’s. It was absolutely wonderful- inventive and delicious cocktails, excellent entrees and a delicious dessert. We never felt rushed from one course to the next AND great music! Chef Miguel is the best and we had excellent service throughout! Highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion!”

“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!”

“Ant and John definitely made it an experience. They knew their stuff and I greatly valued their opinions! Their cocktails were amazing. Ant really helped me get my food quotas I was starving. I will be back just to chat with them again when I come back! Thank you guys!”

“LOVE this French bistro! Having lived in bigger cities, I crave this quality of food that Bluebird provides. Dining for brunch, the atmosphere is lively and beautifully designed. The Salade Niçoise with seared tuna is divine and perfectly cooked. It is far superior to the same salad at Vin Rouge. My only request is to swap the frisée for mixed greens or add to it. It's a bit too wiry against the succulent tuna. We can't wait to go back for dinner and try the escargots! Thank you Bluebird.”

“I’ll echo what’s been said here - food was superb - however, please consider adding more detailed English descriptions to the menu, it won’t make it any less “authentic” it will just make ordering way less tedious for patrons and the waitstaff (our server tried her best to explain what an Amari was and left us more confused than when we started)”

“Been coming to Med Deli since my parents moved to Chapel Hill almost 20 years ago and they never disappoint.Among other things, the falafel here will make you never want to eat falafel anywhere else guaranteed”

“this was my first time coming to the chapel hill location & i was pleased. environment was nice, relaxing & clean. very fast & accurate service. nick was my server & he was very nice & patient with my indecisiveness lol. i came jus in time to try their new shrimp n grits on the menu; which was very good! id give it a 8/10 ; the onions kinda had a weird taste to me, but nothing overpowering.”

“Vimala’s holds a special place in my heart. I met and proposed to my fiancé in the Vimala’s courtyard. It’s one of the most unique and beautiful restaurants in Chapel Hill. On top of the wonderful atmosphere, the food is awesome. I haven’t gone wrong with anything that I’ve ordered here. The staff are great people and the service is always top notch. I would not have been able to do a special proposal + engagement dinner without them. Highly recommend!”

“Food- yum. Atmosphere- Unique and romantic. Food- YUM. Went here for date night with my beautiful girlfriend and got the chicken dish and seafood pasta dish. We shared both because they were both so good. LOVE IT and the service was so nice as well the staff are all very ”

“The Bento box was a fun appetizer and pairing the salt and pepper shrimp was a great move! Good tastes, and fun to eat with my partner! The pork belly was complimented by yummy crisp cabbage and carrots that were full of flavor. The peashoot dumplings didn't live up to the hype, kind of tasteless and a one dimension flavor note....even the pea sauce was salty and missing a lift... maybe a touch of acidity needed! We have been waiting to come here for 6 years and it was a fun menu! Singha beer chased everything down well and the cocktail, the Porchlight, were great complements to the meal. We will come back!”

“I got a snack size smoothie bowl and it was delicious! Love that they have options for sizes. Food is on the pricier side but pretty typical prices for this type of food. Would definitely go back.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options!Dietary restrictions: They have vegan options!”

“We ordered a variety of baked goods for a family celebration. Meital made suggestions and worked with me on the menu, adjusting to our food preferences. All the desserts were even better than I imagined, they were delicious!”

“This is my favorite restaurant in Chapel Hill. Such a lovely authentic Greek restaurant. My fiancé and I go weekly for date night and we’re always warmly greeted by staff. The food is delicious, takes me back to Greece and the service is always great.”

“This was a wonderful location for a celebration. The service was good. Nothing over the top, but everyone was pleasant and knowledgeable. The restaurant is a calm, intimate environment. Being greeted with champagne at the table was a definite perk for our anniversary. All of the food was excellent, from the bread to the entrees.”

“Absolute fabulous dinner experience! The kitchen staff is very creative and puts out delicious dishes. Kudos to Chef Garret. Service is very smooth. Servers are knowledgeable, well trained and personable. The General Manager, Brian Cansler, has proven once again he knows this industry inside and out. Great job Brian! Do yourself a favor and visit Bombolo. You’ll want to visit again and again.”

“Overall great restaurant for vegans. But, there is a seating problem. Students have one coffee sit at a table for hours and stay too long preventing folks who would like to sit and eat at the restaurant. Starbucks had the same problem in small college towns. Some of the Starbucks created a long table with chairs or benches with computer hook ups. Then the single coffee drinkers were encouraged to use that space. Not a bad idea. This will not stop me from going to Cocos , I just have to pick my time carefully.”

“The restaurant was a delight. The decor had a lovely vibe to it with the colorful lamps and rugs hanging on the walls. The food was amazing and they had a good wine selection including some Turkish wines. Definitely get a few of the mezze to share before your entree.”

“What a wonderful place to visit! It's extremely easy to book a reservation online for your group. While you're not allowed to pick up the cats there are plenty of toys available to play with them. Their names and pictures are posted on the upper floor and whether or not they are pending adoption. I booked an hour for my group and it was great.”

“We had the chefs tasting menu. It was phenomenal over all. However, there were two stand outs. They were the crispy sea scallop and the iberica pork. The scallop was very tender yet had deliciously crispy edges. The pork was incredible. I'm not sure if I would have identified as pork if I hadn't known what it was. Tender, yet meaty, it was truly a delight.”

“The food and service was excellent - all staff was friendly and super accommodating. They made great recommendations. The restaurant was also very clean and notably organized. The upstairs lounge area was inviting and comfortable. I will visit again!”

“In town for college visit for my daughters and we ate here and loved it. Food was served fast and quality was awesome. I recommend the jambalaya. Great place. Can’t go wrong here!”

“We held our staff holiday party here this past December (2023) and they were absolutely amazing. The staff were extremely attentive, the restaurant is beautiful and classy and food was impeccable. Due to the size of our group, we opted to have the entrées served buffet style. However, the appetizers and salads were individually served, and were amazing. The appetizers were delicious and the salads were so good I could have stopped there but the entrees were AMAZING. We enjoyed ourselves so much we came back with friends a few weeks later and were even more impressed. Every single thing we had was beautifully presented and delicious. I highly recommend checking out this restaurant, whether it be for a special occasion or a good night out with friends. You won't be disappointed.”

“Food is amazing and so are the servers. The higher up staff however is rude to their employees. They were shouting at employees in front of a restaurant full of guests. Bad ambiance and energy because of that.”

“This was my first experience at bartaco. The food, service and atmosphere were all delightful!! Barbara at the bar was friendly and informative! Prices are decent. I brought some home to share and after a 45 minute drive back to Fuquay-Varina, the food was still delicious even reheated!!! I will definitely return to this spot after every Aveda class I attend ”

“Great culturally appropriate decor especially in a small shopping center and fast service for lunch. The Thai iced tea was very good and the small salad with the green possibly mint base dressing was the best dressing I've ever had. My friend had the Pad See Ew which he liked very much and I had the Pad Gra Pow which tasted great and had the perfect amount of spicy heat. Both plates were nice and hot when they arrived at the table.”

“Great service, music and super fresh flavors. Sangria was made from scratch and fish tacos had a crunchy and flakey texture. Corn tortillas were not dry at all and my husband and I both locked our plates clean. Highly recommend.”

“I truly enjoyed having dinner with my family at Bin 54. It's a beautiful restaurant with a comforting wood-smoke aroma. A bit on the dimly-lit side for me, but it was a happy and peaceful atmosphere. The salt & pepper calamari was better than I expected. Definitely looking forward to our next visit! Thank you Lily for your dining assistance...the chocolate mousse birthday cake and candles for my grandson was a big plus!”

“Mediocre lunch special but quick service and delicious iced tea. Very charming wait person Antonio made the lunch a pleasant experience despite the not so interesting food.”

“I really enjoyed the margaritas and food. The chilaquiles and the marg towers are a must try. The atmosphere is amazing and it’s welcoming for all students and families.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options, vegetarian options”

“Everything they make is exquisite! From the sweet to savory, foods to bevs, I love it all! I appreciate that some dishes are sold frozen so I can enjoy them later on. Everything is made with natural ingredients by holistic chefs and it makes all the difference! Even the dishes made with foods I typically don't prefer the taste of were delicious! I highly recommend giving Goodness Cooks a try!”

“This is the best southern home cooking I have had in a long time! The biscuits are so big and fluffy, the fried chicken and veggies were perfect. And the customer service from the owner was amazing! I highly recommend this place!”

“I always get the biscuits and chicken gravy, which is very good—hard to find quality non-pork sausage versions of the white gravy! My server, Brittany, was very nice and helpfully tried to accommodate dish substitutions. The grits are fine; great texture, but the flavor isn’t my favorite.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free foods marked.”

“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.”

“One of my favourite places to come when visiting Charlotte! The food is always so good (big favourite has been the sticky bbq ribs and duck bao buns). Austin was a great server, very helpful and quick!”

“The New Hope Market is a half hour from our home, but we go several times a month. Excellent food, which we can take home or eat there. So many delicious to-go items/salads and great daily specials (today’s Korean fried chicken sandwich was amazing, as was the potato corn soup). And the desserts are out of this world, changing daily, with tons of variety. My favorite local eatery.”

“What a quaint local restaurant!! From the moment we entered the restaurant to the time we left, the staff were so attentive and polite. The food came out hot & tasty. Portions were perfectly sized...not too big not too small. Would definitely recommend.”

“Probably the loveliest of lovely places to hang out in all of the triangle; one of the few outdoor hangouts left after Honeysuckle closed! Conveniently nestled between E Franklin St and the trees off the Bolin Creek trail, this is just the perfect location with the perfect amount of shade and nature vibes - perfect place to read a book, catch up with a friend, have a first date, or get some work done in calming environs- highly popular for this reason. In the winter they have blankets and heaters, and during the summer they have bug spray out and the shade helps buffer the heat - be aware there will be plenty of bugs/critters, but it goes with the lovely outdoor NC experience! The internet has gotten much better over the years and you can definitely access the WiFi now without issues (was not the case a few years ago). There are only maybe 1-2 plugs on the premises, though best to charge up before you come. Drinks are delicious with plenty of coffee, tea, non-caf options - my favorites are the brown sugar oat latte and the ginger beer cold brew. Service is good with sweet and helpful baristas - there is always a line here but it goes decently quickly. The only thing I wish I could change would be longer hours so you could spend even more time here early AM - later afternoon/evening!”

“I'm not too much into fast food but this place has amazing burgers (I recommend the mookie one) and dogs. The sweet potatoes fries with the sweet sauce (cinnamon) is so delicious. Service is friendly, the place is small inside but there's seating area outside as well. Highly recommended!”

“Okay this was no joke some of the best food I've had EVER. The chicken Koragge ramen was off the charts, I've been craving it ever since. The service was also exceptional!”

“Our experience with their dishes has always been good as it was again last night (manicotti and lasagne). It was pleasant eating outside as part of the dine-in option. And the service was excellent, as always. Oh, and don't forget the desserts. This time we had the limoncello cake.”

“Dan was amazing he was patient as I did not know what I wanted and even recommended some flavors to put together me. Will be returning frequently. He is a hidden gem in this ”

“The people make this place really special and the food is wonderful. Peaceful and pretty, this is a spot you won’t want to pass up on. It’s an absolute must!”

“We made our first visit to Walt's Grill yesterday and we really enjoyed our visit!I had the smothered pork chops, fried okra, and macaroni & cheese. Everything was full of flavor and very enjoyable.Mr. Walt found it hard to believe we had traveled all the way from our town to Chapel Hill just to visit his restaurant but we were talking the truth! We don't get to the Chapel Hill/Carrsboro area very often, but we like to find great eating spots along the way for those times we do find ourselves near those areas. We will definitely be back and look forward to talking with Mr. Walt, again!”

“First visit + great food= I'll be back! Buns is a must visit. The service was fast and friendly. The menu has an array of options, and there is plenty of seating options. We ordered a burger and a hotdog with fries. The hot dog was all beef and the fries reminded me of Five Guys. Buns offers numerous toppings for your fries, burgers and hot dogs. It's a cool place to hang out at during UNC game night.”

“Such a cute coffee shop on Franklin Street! There's a lot of space inside to do work or chat with friends. I got a lavender iced latte, which I thought tasted great. It's also the same price for any size drink! The barista was also very nice and helped me pick out coffee beans.”

“Great spot in Chapel Hill to grab a loaded hotdog, burger, and beer. You can get a combo of a dog and a burger, and they will work with you to customize whatever combo you want! It's a fun bar-scene vibe, but the service was attentive and very helpful! It's worth checking out if you're reading reviews and love hotdogs and burgers!”

“I love coming in to study or relax at Caribou. The coffee is always delicious, the staff are always friendly, and the ambience is always perfect. My new favorite coffee spot :)”

“I frequent this joint on the UNC CH campus regularly and the food is ALWAYS hot, cooked COMPLETELY and the beverages are always on point. AGAIN, TTHIS IS INSIDE A FOOD COURT ON THE CAMPUS OF UNC CHAPEL HILL NOT THE REGULAR STAND ALONE LOCALE.”

“Went there for the 1st time today with friends we had been going to MacD's for breakfast once a week but the new high melanin mgr has destroyed it! 2 weeks in a row they had NO drinks thats right no drinks except water and orange juice so it was time to move on. Well I want to thank the new high melanin mgr because Sunshine is head above what they ever were so thanks for running us off we found a REAL GOOD place to have breakfast! The biscuits are large and very good so eat here forget the others in the area this is the place.”

“I needed to place a big order for a meeting and everything turned out wonderfully. The Store Manager, Carla, was extremely patient while helping me decide on which sandwiches to get and what to put on them. The team member, Evan, was also very nice. I called the morning that I was going to pick them up and he told me that they just finished packaging up my order. When I came, I was in and out! I will def go back in the future!”

“Completely made my day! Mobile ordered and my food was brought to my table in the dining room. The manager came around to check and see if everything was ok. Then he came back and gave each of my kids a stuffed cow. Customer service at its best that was truly appreciated.”

“I just wanted to share the experiences I've had with this Hardee's location. Every time I've been through and talked with the manager at the drive through, she's always had a smile, is talkative, and has great customer service. You can't go wrong with this place.”

“It's good as usual and honestly great the food felt weird but it's probably because I haven't had it in a while but overall great like yes its great there is no bad or twist it's just ”

“I love coming to this location, it’s fast, convenient and the staff are always friendly BUT the day time manager comes off like a bigot and a tad prejudiced but we can’t all be ”

“Consistent good quality food staff very helpful if they could improve one thing it would be learning how to make their specialty coffee's correctly.Dietary restrictions: On the mobile app you can order burgers with no salt! This allows me to have some sort of fast food.”

“Idk who the woman is working the drive thru at this location (near chapel hill) but she is AMAZING...she is so detailed oriented...she is running that drive thru with precision. I am going to go back and get her name!!”

“Don't eat at the one in Fayetteville. The location used to be Fabe's and that was great. The locations for Alpaca in Sanford and Raleigh are great, too, but I got food from the one in Fayetteville the other day and was so disappointed. The chicken was not nearly as flavorful as it should have been and the green sauce was like that as well. It was just sad. I suppose I should have guessed based on the two staff members running the counter. They looked and acted like they wanted to be anywhere else.”

“I come as a regular here pretty daily. From the amazing beer specials mug($4 pints and all gizmo beers $5 Friday), to food specials with local restaurants (taco Tuesday is honestly my favorite day) and music bingo and trivia, I enjoy my nights off work here. Great staff. Queer friendly and a variety of beer for all. ❤️”

“Awesome experience today during my first visit; can’t wait to return for more! The Cortado and Drip Coffee was dynamic with the full flavors that came through thanks to the quality of the roast and water!”

“Came to NC to visit colleges with our sons and this hidden gem was just down the road from our airbnb - awesome dive bar with very good service and nice people! We will definitely be back! Side note- they don’t serve food but the atmosphere and company make up for it!”

“I love this place so much - whether it’s the food truck or the restaurant itself, their food is always fresh and delicious. They also have great, tasty vegetarian options, and the restaurant is always clean and quick whenever I decide to dine in. Sometimes I wish they were open a little bit later or were located closer to campus, but that’s just because I like the food so much.”

“A great place to study and the music isn’t too loud! The drinks and the desserts are delicious and I recommend Moge Tea for boba. Definitely give them a try if you’re in the area!”

“Breakaway is the quintessential local feeding hole! Friendly service, good food done with flair, and a good vibe inside and out. Prices are quite reasonable as well.”

“I adore this place. I used to go to the only original Woolworth's Diner left -located in Bakersfield Ca and this place is not the same-but a nice replacement for me. Staff are friendly and the food is really good. I've tried numerous menu items and have been happy with them all!”

“Great local area hang out. TVs with soccer are available. Large tables for board games. Digital pour has live draft beer list online and on site. Untappd list is also available and updated. Great diverse draft beer selection along with refrigerated can and bottles. Diverse beer selection.”

“The Momo’s were very tasty and well prepared! Very authentic! They had vegetarian momos (dumplings) in their variety of options. The wings were well done that they would easily come off the bones! The chai tea was superb and hit the spot with ginger and nice blend of spices. The staff, managers and owner were very friendly and welcoming. They were very approachable.Vegetarian options: Had different vegetarian options.”

“Great place for vegans, vegetarians and conivores. I had a bowl with baby kale. Baby kale is so much better than regular kale. We were able to carry on a conversation and would have been able to do it with someone hard of hearing. Just have to pay for parking.”

“First time and we loved everything. Best Indian experience in the area. We had mango lassi, Thai iced tea (different in a good way), saag paneer, veggie momos (wow!), aaloo gobi (veggie and delicious blend of flavors. The complementary lentil (?) crackers and chutney were appreciated. I look forward to going back with friends. Very good service too.”

“The desserts are sooooooo good! Also some tables outside which is definitely a plus on a nice day. Just note that the parking situation is a bit crazy, just because of all the stores next door.”

“Good coffee, quick, nice space, nice staff, good wifi. My go-to Franklin St cafe.The drip coffee is quite good, and you get a refill for dine-in drip coffee, which is nice. I think they need to keep the coffee a few degrees hotter. The espresso drinks are good too. Everything comes out fast even when they're busy. The coffee is better and faster than at Epilogue.1922 is popular with students, so it's often hard to get a seat. So, meeting people here can be risky because you might not get a table. Generally easier to get a table at Epilogue.The breakfast burritos are excellent.”

“I found this place to be very cozy with a creative menu and lovely cocktails. The bartender was super accommodating-I wanted a French Martini but they didn’t have Chambourd, so he used their house made blackberry syrup. Together, we created a delicious new cocktail! I got the beet salad and tofu skewers and both were delicious! Check them out!”

“Let me just say... the strawberry shortcakeis the very, very best I have ever tasted! Shortbread is the heart and soul of this recipe, and this one is like nothing you've ever tasted. The biggest bite of delicious you will ever consume.I am picky having lived in NYC and CA. It doesn't get any betterthan this. The recipe is from a famous baker and restaurateur in Manhattan. Please keep this on the menu forever!!!”

“Great down home cooking in a family friendly place. I've been eating here 43 yearsVegetarian options: My wife loves the vegetable plateParking: AmpleKid-friendliness: First restaurant we took our kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp from the sidewalk”

“We made our first visit to Walt's Grill yesterday and we really enjoyed our visit!I had the smothered pork chops, fried okra, and macaroni & cheese.

We will definitely be back and look forward to talking with Mr. Walt, again!”

“We have been fans of Lucha since it opened over a decade ago! We lived nearby as recent graduates and still come back at least a few times a year now that we live in Durham. The menu is rock solid and the cocktails have always been fantastic. We recommend the nachos, the green beans and the dumplings—we’re fans of the small plates. Always friendly service. It’s one of our cozy go-to’s.”

“I'm pregnant and can't have deli meats unless they've been heated to a safe temperature. I ordered an Italian sub and they assembled the meats in a separate container on the side so I could heat them up and enjoy my sub!”

“this was my first time coming to the chapel hill location & i was pleased. environment was nice, relaxing & clean. very fast & accurate service. nick was my server & he was very nice & patient with my indecisiveness lol. i came jus in time to try their new shrimp n grits on the menu; which was very good! id give it a 8/10 ; the onions kinda had a weird taste to me, but nothing overpowering.”

We really enjoyed the lunch special with Chicken Tikki Masala. It was very reasonably priced for the generous amount of food we ate. We are traveling, but we will be back when we visit the area again!”

“I found this place on Google and it did not disappoint! Not only is their food amazing (best seafood boil I’ve ever had) but the staff is extremely kind. We really enjoyed this place and will most definitely be back in the future!”

“This was my second time going to Piero’s. It was absolutely wonderful- inventive and delicious cocktails, excellent entrees and a delicious dessert.

“Excellent local craft brewery with a great food menu and variety of beers. Lunchtime isn't too crowded on a weekday. They sell great swag and delicious barbecue sauces and dry rubs. Ask for Megan at the hostess stand, she and other staff are very welcoming!”

“Nicest Cane's I've ever been. Our family of 7 fell in love with Cane's from our hometown of Mount Pleasant, SC. Now that we live in NC, we have been without Canes until they opened one in Chapel Hill. We have been to others across the country, but this is the nicest and most unique. It's next to the UNC campus and is decked out in Tarheel memorabilia. It's a unique setup and design. We came here for my son's 13th birthday. They had great customer service, were extremely efficient, and the food was BUSSIN!!! We'll be back!”

“Went to Cava’s last night. I have already recommended it! We thoroughly enjoyed all the wonderful flavors. I found it to be a memorable meal! Wish there were more locations!”

“I was walking my dog down Franklin street when I decided to pick up my order! they were super sweet and accommodating despite not allowing pets and brought my order out! Great food and great service ”

“They have tasty food here with a fairly good variety. But they don't have biscuits or breakfast pastries. Of course, I would have known that if I had reviewed the online menu, so it was a kind of my own fault.”

“Breakaway is the quintessential local feeding hole! Friendly service, good food done with flair, and a good vibe inside and out. Prices are quite reasonable as well.”

“I love this place! The customer service is stellar, from the moment you walk in until you leave, the hospitality is exemplary. I loved the decor and music! The passionfruit margarita was delicious. The AL Pastor quesadilla was incredibly tasty. My family was visiting from out of town and everything was served hot and quickly! Since this was recently opened to the public, of course you have the critical negative trolls leaving reviews, but please, don't be swayed! This is a phenomenal spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner, with an eclectic menu and great service and it's exactly what Franklin street needed!”

“I really enjoyed the margaritas and food. The chilaquiles and the marg towers are a must try. The atmosphere is amazing and it’s welcoming for all students and families.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options, vegetarian options”

“I rarely visit Starbucks. But this Starbucks has recently opened up in my neighborhood and I wanted to check it out. This branch is very spacious and has various sitting arrangements. It is great for solitary and communal work sessions. The wifi was working well. The staff is warm and welcoming. Since I am not familiar with the Starbucks menu, they offered to make recommendations and made a choice for me. I was very happy with what they chose for me. The music was a little too loud for my taste and I found it a little distracting when I was trying to work. I also noticed that they have plenty of free parking available.”
