Loved the wood floors and brick walls of this 1905 built former general store/feed store. Next - the server was charming, witty and excellent at her job. The menu is filled with great twists on southern fare. We had pimento cheese hushpuppies with Thai chili sauce and a cool variation on deviled eggs which was all very tasty. For dinner I had seared mahi mahi topped with Creole salsa, a crab cake and fried zucchini. One of my associates raved about his shrimp n grits while another had a grilled portabella with vegetables. The food was all very good and the portions generous. So generous in fact that we all passes on the dessert menu. This restaurant is so atypical of what one would expect of a small town place. We will definitely return. read more

Menu has lots of variety, so there's something for everyone. Such large portions for an amazing price too! They always have awesome desserts and drink specials. Also the only restaurant in town that has shrimp(fried or broiled) on the kids menu so my nieces love it! read more

This has been my go to place to eat in Roxboro since moving to town several months ago. That is until today. I ordered a chicken wrap that on the menu clearly states it has chicken, cheese, lettuce and tomato. I requested the wrap without lettuce or tomato. When I received the wrap it had onions on it. When I pointed that out to the server she argued that the menu states onion at which point I politely told her she was incorrect. She shrugged and walked away to get our check together. When she came back she agreed that nowhere under this item on the menu does it state onions and added how she kindly took $1 off my meal for the mix up. I have never had this type of experience at a restaurant. The kitchen clearly made the food wrong and I did not eat one bite of my sandwich. Not only did you argue with me on what was stated on the menu, you did not offer to fix the sandwich, replace it with a different sandwich, or do anything other than to give me $1 off. We will be taking our business elsewhere from now on. Only giving 2 stars because up until this point we had wonderful experiences. read more

Ate with a large group today for a birthday party. What a disappointment. The food was very slow arriving. I ordered a well done cheese burger with pepperjack cheese. The cheese was actually cheddar cheese with paprika sprinkled on it. In spots it was so hot I couldn't eat eat. Also the burger was burnt on the outside not the typically well done that I get. read more

I went here with my parents while in town visiting. I was very disappointed. The buffalo "chicken" dip had very little chicken at all. It was mostly a soup of vinegar and butter and pepper. The pita bread with the dip was for some reason heated by frying and very greasy. The "steak" sandwich was more like a slice of roast beef and the meat was barely warm, the bun cheap and crusty. Really all this place has to offer is a nice dinning room. read more

My husband and I had just moved to the area and decided to eat out at Brookland Eats. The hostess lead us to a dining room on the right side of the restaurant. The dining room was very crowded . I could not hear my husband talking to me . I asked my waitress if we could sit in the other dining room and she said no , they had to fill up this dining room first . I asked the lady bartender if my husband and I could sit at the bar ? She said no they were reserved . We sat there in the loud dining room and was served some other guest order. The waitress apologized and 25 min later we got ours . You could tell it had been sitting under a heat lamp or in the window for awhile . It was terrible . Two hours later and trying to get through our dinner(dried out) we noticed the bar was still empty . I feel the bartender just didn't want anyone sitting there except her daily evening customers. She was very cold and rude We have never been back there or will we ever go back there again read more

This place is magnificent! If you are looking for something out of the norm this is it! The spinach dip is like no spinach dip you have ever had before and the homemade chips are to die for. read more

Food has always been good, if there is a wait, it is worth it! Hamburgers are great, the owner is super nice and attentive to the customers needs. read more

We found ourselves in Roxboro unexpectedly and were looking for a nice meal at short notice. Brookland Eats was a great find! The staff were helpful, there was a great drinks selection (including a very nice locally-brewed IPA) & menu. We had burgers - homemade & very tasty. The chocolate brownies & ice cream rounded off a beautiful meal. The ambience & service were terrific too. If you are in the area, definitely check it out! read more

"Fine dining" food, in a "casual dining" atmosphere. I've eaten here six times and never been disappointed. read more

Brookland Eats - I like eating at the bar. We love Jen! - American Near Me - Roxboro, North Carolina

This will definitely be my last time eating here. To start off, when ordering we wanted to make some slight changes, for instance switching our salad for a side or swapping out a vegetable for something else we served, but it was a no to both. Not very accommodating. When I (20 year old small girl) asked to just look at the kids menu I wasn't even allowed to, even when I said I'm fine with an up charge but I just can't eat big portions they still refused. So I just ordered some chicken tenders. Personally not a fan of them. Just not my flavor of food and they're really not very accommodating. Won't be returning. read more

Great food. You may drive right past if you are not careful. I had the southern fried chicken collard greens and mashed potatoes But this is not fast food. All items were done with care and nice flavor. The menu has a nice variety and the atmosphere was very urban renewal Worth stopping when you are in Roxboro area. read more

The chips that come with the catfish 'n chips are thick-cut, house-made potato chips. The slaw wasn't my favorite (mayo and cabbage--I prefer a vinegar-y slaw), but everything else was magnificent. They served up the best sweet potato fry I've ever had, and my partner had a properly medium-rare burger. The catfish was perfect, crispy and flaky and not at all greasy. No joke, bar none the best restaurant in Roxboro. Some of the entrees are on the upscale end, price wise, but absolutely very reasonable for the quality of food, and the burgers are a great deal. They buy from local farmers, too! Our waitress was a treat, and had great recommendations. This is not fast food, so plan to come enjoy your meal and give it the time it deserves. Again, easily the best quality food in town. Just wish we found it sooner, this will be our go-to "nice dinner" place from now on. read more

I knew I would like this place when I saw the Eno Festival posters along the wall! Had lunch Dec. 31, 2014. The food was excellent (my friend had the she crab soup and I had the blackened catfish fish tacos) and the staff very friendly. It did take a while for our meals to come out, but well worth the wait! Definitely, on my list of great places to eat...especially, in Roxboro, NC. read more

Certainly my favorite restaurant in Person and the surrounding counties. Excellent food consistently well prepared.

Awesome ambience with a personal touch from owner/ chief. The T-bone steak was tender and grilled evenly. The meatloaf was very tasty served with mushrooms and onions. Two good choices recommended. The waitress aim to please. We will definitely come this way again. read more

I have not been in a year but have heard nothing but rave reviews from people who know food, how it should taste and be priced. I know the owner has taken up an active interest in the community and does several food tastings at our local farmer's market. He used our Farm to Table availability to present some nice, tasty appetizers. read more

Best restaurant in Roxboro. The food is great, never had anything bad and we eat here several times a month. The staff is nice and reliable. Some entrees are a little pricey, but it's definitely worth it. If you have a chance to go here, don't pass it up! read more

We went for breakfast and it was the worst breakfast we have ever had. While the pancakes were good, the omelette my husband ordered was dry and not flavorful. I ordered the biscuits with sausage and gravy with 2 eggs -- instead if the 3 small biscuits described on the menu, they served 1 large tasteless, very dry biscuit with a small amount of gravy with sausage crumbled up in it. I asked for the eggs to be over medium and they were hard and not good -- the whole thing looked awful and tasted the same. For our sides, my husband got the breakfast potatoes which had a strange flavor and I got the cheese grits which had a hard crust. And to add insult to injury, nothing was hot including the coffee. Our advice is to avoid going here for the breakfast! read more

I have been back in NC for 5 years now and had been looking for a place to eat... Well we found it, the food is amazing and the staff is fabulous. I look for every excuse to go there to eat and it doesn't take much. You want be disappointed so go and try it yourself. read more

I have been here several times and have been more than satisfied every time... My favorites are the Thai Chili Chicken wings and the Strawberry Salad! Yum! read more

This is one of the best places in the triangle area. It's too bad it's so far out. Nothing fancy, just food made the right way. Service is always friendly. Great specials. Huge and delicious salads. Try the sweet potato poutine its spicy and sweet and delicious! Steak also very tasty. Usually packed on Friday nights. Have not yet tried their brunch. I hear they are renovating soon and may be adding taps which would be great. read more

We came through town after a long day of driving, checked in at the Hampton and then drove down to Brookland Eats for dinner. We had two appetizers, the fried green tomatoes and the stuffed mushrooms. Delicious! My husband ordered the Cuban and I ordered a Cobb salad. We both liked our meals very much. Service was excellent and drinks were always kept full. We will certainly stop back again! read more

I have to say this place did everything right. Food was great! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Different items than your standard fare found at most restaurants. I recommend you go. What a gem for Roxboro! I can't wait to take more family there! read more

I find the negative reviews puzzling. Have had lunch here 6-8 times and never a bad meal. A recent lunch was one of my best meals in a long time---perfectly grilled shrimp is not common in my experience, but this one was. Sides way above average too. I have also noticed many Black people eating there very comfortably so find the racism accusation strange. Service might not be perfect, but never a problem. read more

We eat here nearly every week while up at the lake. Great staff. Broad menu. One of the few places with Brussels year-round. Only Brunch on Sunday and Prime Rib roast on Tuesday! read more

Food pretty good but the place is small, loud and service a little slow. There is not a proper waiting area for customers and you are standing right besides people eating. read more

This is a small restaurant with great food off the beaten path. I love the atmosphere it's in a old building with lots of exposed brick and great artwork and photos. I have been here many times and the food is consistently good. Only thing I've ever had bad here was the Caesar salad a bit too fishy for me. Buffalo chicken dip is amazing and specials are always yummy. Definitely not a place to miss. read more

See all

Great staff, food and fast service. Had the shrimp and grits which were amazing. Will make many more trips when passing through on business.

Wonderful food, good drinks, excellent service!!! This awesome restaurant hosted our family for a late lunch after a memorial service and everything was spectacular. Such a great addition to Roxboro's non-existent food scene, now it's not completely necessary to travel all the way to Durham for a nice dinner and drinks! Will be visiting during happy hour next time we're in town. Very impressed!!!! read more

By far the best place to eat in Roxboro. Make sure to have the hush puppies! All of our meals were excellent! If they have she crab soup it is a must!! The lemon blueberry pound cake was amazing! We will definitely be back!!! read more

Love this spot! Good food, much better than a chain steakhouse. Good drinks. Good atmosphere. Good prices. Child friendly. It's not a large restaurant so if you don't want to wait for a table, make a reservation! (You can only be upset with yourself if you don't. Those with reservations WILL be seated before you are.) read more

Excellent meal from the beginning to the end. Had great service and will definitely return. Food was delicious, prompt service!

Brookland Eats has excellent food, and amazing service. Thanks to Jen, Candace and Emily who always go above and beyond! I eat there once a week (at least), and this week was extra special with the beautiful Christmas decorations! Brookland Eats is my favorite restaurant. read more

This place is fabulous! Ample parking, great food, We had the buffalo chicken sandwich and bacon burger with homemade chips(uh-maz-ing dipped in Ranch) great atmosphere... It has a vintage warehouse feel with the exposed brick and what seems like original flooring. The service was excellent, and she was very attentive and remembered details on our Togo order we placed as we left after our meal. The chef even came out and addressed every table and asked how everything was and if we enjoyed our dinner. Though I would have liked if they had a New Zeland Marlborough Co Sauvignon Blanc, the Chilean Sauvignon Blanc was suprisingly good! Will definitely go back when in the area... Great for a weekend date night or anytime really... We went on a Tuesday evening... Great experience all around and I would highly recommend it read more

Always great food. The chef's creation are amazing, they never disappoint, we love going here.

Super good, super staff and a friendly great venue! I've been a few times now, and only after the first time, when I walk in they treat me like a rock star!!!!! That's almost enough for the top review, but then of course there's the food! Original, clean, healthy southern tinged menu with wonderful specials! Everything that I've tried here has been superb! All in all, for the area this place is phenomenal! I'll be back over and over while I live here! read more

I love this place! From the amazing apps to yummy lunch specials , it's my #1 pick for places to eat in Roxboro! I hope they stay in business for years!! read more

First visit. Had Cobb salad and better half had hamburger with sweet potato fries. Very good. Portions were very healthy size. Waitress was very attentive and quick. 100% Health Department rating. Fair prices. I'm guessing this is by far the best restaurant in Roxboro. We will go back. Update - Went back and it just confirms what a good place this is. read more

Tried to find this place. Think it is closed. Redirected gps. Still no Brookland Eats. Went to Heirloom on depot street. Food, service and atmosphere was great. read more
