Sophie was very courteous and pleasing to us as customers. She was very nice. The food was delicious.

I'm surprised at all the negative reviews as a resident of Pittsboro for a year now we've not had issue. Believe it or not I had the best beef bourgeois ever. I also believe they have the best burger in town. Hand patty and fresh, toasty but and fresh ingredients. Staff is always super friendly. read more

I haven't been here in a while but it has the same good food, tasty brewery beer and laid back atmosphere. I tried the Bison sandwich and fries. My friend had the Fried Chicken sandwich and loved it. Nice stop off of 64 in Pittsboro. read more

Carolina Brewery Wednesday night is fried chicken night. I had the half chicken with mash potatoes. I did this plan for leftovers tomorrow. The half chicken, is wing, leg, thigh, and breast very tasty. I always order the half so I have leftovers. It is just as good warmed up the second day. My wife had the ale meat pie, it had a thin layered crust top with a meaty vegetable mixture beneath. My wife enjoyed and I sampled the pie. It was a meaty tasty mixture, it was on the seasonal menu. So, it will be around for the month. But, on Wednesday I never pass up the fried chicken. We also shared the loaded French fries. They are so good and so large they would make a meal by themselves. So, that is how I made room for leftovers. read more

Looking around Google maps for a lunch place near the hubs mom I came across Carolina Brewery.& Grill. We ordered the cheeseburger egg rolls and 2 mason jar Mimosas to start. The egg rolls had good flavor and were nice and cheesy. Evidently, you can only get one Mason jar at a time because it's not the drinking glass size jar, it's large and has a whole bottle of bubbly in it. We got grapefruit instead of orange juice and it was delicious. Hubs got the chicken and waffles, his mom got a burger and I got the Chicken biscuit with pimento cheese. Everything was great and my biscuit was thick and messy... Yum! We sat outside as it was a beautiful day. Our server was a little off his game as he'd worked a double the day before, but we really liked him. It would definitely be a cool place to go see live music while enjoying food and drinks. Good location for the growing area. I'm sure we will be back. read more

Excellent meal my first night in town . I was amazed at the extra care the waitstaff took to make sure we were taken care of

My friends hosted their rehearsal brunch here. They had catering and I have to say the food was delicious!!! We LOVED the salmon. The staff who served everyone were polite, friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Many of us got drinks and we were happy with them! I definitely would love to come back here if I'm ever in the area. read more

I love their beer but how I wish they had a real vegan option. That would make it the perfect dinner or brunch spot in pittsboro.

We had 11:00 reservations - arrived at 11 asked for a corner booth to do some business work - was denied said this was for larger parties - was seated at a booth in the back which would seat 6 people - no one was ever seated at the corner booth the entire time we were there (11-1) Was asked if we wanted appetizers - asked for chesseburger egg rolls and the carna asada tacos - neither were ready even though the restaurant opens at 11 - was told they only had onion rings - had to ask another wait staff to ask our wait staff to refill our diet cokes - the service was rude and inattentive - food was mediocre- very very disappointed in this place! Would not recommend nor will I visit again read more

Why is this place rated so low? Just went with a buddy. The place was well laid out. The service was super friendly and was on top of getting us drinks. My buddy enjoyed his burger which they say is served with bread from a local bakery. And my fish and chips were legit. Will definitely be back. read more

It's always good, and has been for the 10+ years we have been coming in. Brunch is great, their fish tacos are perfect, and the service is fast and friendly. They have some of the best fries around, and the area obviously agrees because it's always packed! We highly recommend it! read more

The place was very busy. Drink order was wrong. Ordered a chicken sandwich and it tasted fishy. Need to change their frying oil. Usually food is good here. read more

4/17/2026 my girls 9 and 4 year old and I went to Carolina brewery to have a dinner together and just sit and end the week with a good dinner we got there at 6:08 got our table at 6:12 we sat there until 640. Nobody acknowledged us. Nobody spoke to us. Nobody asked us for drinks. There was a table of three they came in. They sat down. They got drinks. They ordered food. There was a table of eight. They came in, sat outside and met. Their family sat down, and they had a waitress as soon as they sat down and order drinks my girls and I was hungry and I went to the front and I told the lady we've been sitting here for almost 20 minutes and no one spoke to us!!! she looked at me and said ummm OK I'm so disappointed she didn't even try to say I will get somebody for you. Please sit back down. I've been a waitress before and this is so unprofessional. read more

Awesome friendly service and the oysters were delicious.. fresh ingredients. the brewery industrial feel was welcoming and vibrant. We'll be back soon!! read more

After being seated, 15 minutes is an unacceptable amount of time to wait for a waiter/waitress to come to your table to take a drink order. This place used to be good..... don't waste your time read more

I visited the Carolina Brewery with a large group celebration. The business was very accommodating with giving our party a separated area in their upstairs loft. The staff was very friendly and attentive to everyone and their requests. I ordered the Brewery Cheeseburger with fries. It was delicious. The burger was cooked to my liking and the fries were tasty. This location offers a selection of IPAs and hard ciders that pair great with their menu items. Stop and give this place a try the next time you are in Pittsboro. read more

I love this pub! The best for me is the location in Pittsboro. Been going here for several years and menu has gotten so much better!

I was a little hesitant because of the reviews but I went anyways. I had a great time. And I was lucky to pick Wednesday which is fried chicken night. The food was good. The beer selection was great. And the young lady bartending was awesome. Looking forward to the next time! read more

I have had several negative experiences and gave them the benefit of the doubt once again, but the standards here have really slipped and food quality is minimal with no care for consistency or the customer experience. I am in the top 10% of restaurant reviewers on Google Maps and have listed my several negative experiences...none of which have been acknowledged or addressed by the restaurant or management. I will never be a customer again...more than 3 strikes for me. read more

Had some nachos after a trip from The Plant. Not really liking the potato chips nachos. Not enough black beans and could have had more chicken compared to others I have had. Go back to the nacho chips. If you do continue with the potato chips , cut them a bit thicker and larger. read more

Carolina Brewery - Potato Chips instead of nachos. I like nachos chips better. Not enough black beans. - Brewpubs Near Me - Pittsboro, North Carolina

Good place for a socially distant, safe evening out. Although their indoor seating areas can become crowded, they have a large outdoor seating area. The outdoor tables are spaced out to promote social distancing and each has one or more heaters. Even on a chilly evening we stayed warm at the tables. We were greeted upon arrival and were given a choice of where we wanted to sit. We chose to sit outside. Our awesome waitress Sharon greeted us and took our drink orders. She provided recommendations when requested and informed us of their QR menu. I decided on the sky blue kolsch ($5.75) and placed an order for guacamole with chips ($9.95). I enjoyed both. The guacamole was pricy, but satisfying. I typically prefer darker beers, however, the sky blue kolsch satisfied my desire for a refreshing, crisp beer. Sharon is amazing. She was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay. Regarding COVID-19, all employees were wearing masks. The tables were socially distant, menus were accessible with a QR code, and doors were labeled as entrance or exit doors. They also have a hands-free method of opening the bathroom door. Bathrooms were clean and well lit. They do not have a QR code method of payment. We paid with cards. We enjoyed our visit and would recommend this establishment to others! read more

My husband and I have given this restaurant many opportunities to earn our business. The food and service is inconsistent at best. Today however, we basically decided, we are done. We spent $146 dollars including tip for 2 sandwiches, 2 fish and chips and one chicken fingers along with ice tea and 4 beers. Sadly we were given cold and over cooked or refried fries with our fish. The fish was lukewarm warm and batter also over fried. The chicken fingers were okay but bad fries. The chicken sandwich had cold fries and thankfully the hamburger had hot fries. Quite frankly a total expensive disappointment!! read more

Carolina Brewery is worth the 30 minute, county over drive for their food and beer. We have literally called them before to see if they had their onion rings (they do, by the way) because they sell out of those sometimes. Their salads are huge, so don't feel bad for only eating half and taking home your leftovers. Their brunch menu is quite extensive and the chicken biscuit really needs two hands to eat it, so if you plan to hold a sleeping toddler, either deconstruct it or get another fantastic menu item. The service is consistent, and our waitress was really good at providing feedback to help us narrow down the food choices. The ambiance is very laid back. They have more booths and tables on one side, and then a bar on the other with more booths. It's generally on the cooler side in the restaurant, so if you're one to get cold easily, bring a jacket. The beer is worth sticking around to have more than one, so make sure to get an appetizer to go along with it. read more

People! Why why why do I keep giving this place a chance? Good lord. Am I ignorant? They make my favorite beer: Sky Blue. Somehow, that doesn't even taste the same here. What is happening? Literally, i couldn't drink it. It's Sunday in America. What do Americans do on Sunday's? Watch football. What is CB showing? Soccer. Soccer! We ask for them to put at least one TV on football. What does the manger put it on - ESPN College. Um. We watched all of those games yesterday so we don't need to see a recap. One guy had to ask THREE times for one TV to be put on the Cowboys-Redskins game. Oh. And one TV just wasn't working. Broken says the manger without an apology. Health Score? A 94. A freaking 94. Bloody Mary mix - date clearly written on the mix - 2 weeks old!!! 2! Ugh! Nachos - so good here. When they're served WARM! Done. Done. Done. And it makes me sad. read more

Great food served timely - both hot and fresh. Splits meals in kitchen when sharing. Clean and nice wait staff.

Service was mediocre, long wait and very obvious they wanted us gone. The food was okay, the burrito bowl was generously served. Hosts were also unfriendly and making the environment a bit dry and loud. read more

Surprised this place only has 3 stars? Came here with my boyfriend and his parents a couple of weeks ago and the food was fab. It was not very busy, tables spaced out, everyone wearing masks. We ordered the nachos with chicken as an app and they were honestly some of the best nachos I have ever had. I could have easily eaten the entire thing by myself. Typically I like to look at Yelp for pictures of items before I order at a new place and once I saw a picture of the Calabash Shrimp, I knew I wanted it. They were so crispy and I loved the sauce it came with. My only complaint about the food is that the hushpuppies were, to the honest, terrible. I could not even finish eating one. They just had no flavor. One odd thing was that they didn't have their sides listed on their menu so we had to have her read them off to us. Overall though, I would definitely come back for lunch/dinner and to try a beer! read more

We had a group of six on Thursday night and thought we would try this place. I have nothing but good things to say, it was a nice experience. It's bar food, so quite basic, but good and tasty. The atmosphere is rather loud, but they were busy and think that should be one's expectation at a brewery. The service was nice too, but not over the top. It was a good experience. read more

Carolina Brewery was one of the first breweries I visited when I moved here to North Carolina. They always have a solid selection of beers including Copper Line and Sky Blue kolsch...yum!

Got there today at around 12:45, was told there would be maybe a 10 minute wait, and we were seated at 1. The restaurant was pretty clean, a few tables were left dirty from previous guests, but it wasn't busy at all. A few minutes after we were seated, our waitress came to our table. We asked a few questions, but didn't get the response or recommendations we were looking for. My husband settled on the BBQ pork sandwich and water, and I got the brewery burger, and asked for 1000 islands on the side with Dr Pepper. After we ordered and got our drinks, we BARELY saw our waitress. We have this theory that if we go to a brewery or bar for food, and if we don't order some sort of alcohol, it's as if we become invisible to our server, and it proved to be true here. Our drinks were long gone by the time we got our food. As the server was setting our items down, she noted that they didn't give me my side of 1000 islands and mentioned she'd be back with it. She never came back with it or realized she forgotten it. My burger and fries were barely warm. Started with eating just half, hoping the waitress would return with the 1000 islands but she never did. The fries really seemed like they could have had potential if they were fresh but they were cold and floppy by the time I got them. My husbands BBQ pork sandwich was flavorless, as well as the coleslaw on it. My husband described it as just chopped up lettuce with no seasoning. He paid extra for sweet potato fries. They tasted like they were under a heat lamp for far too long. We noticed a few empty tables had a caddy with BBQ sauces and other condiments, and we took one from a table since our waitress never provided one or offered it, and we were done mostly by the time she stopped by to ask how everything was. They do provide a military discount, which was welcome, and if I didn't dislike confrontation so much I would have said something about the meal but our demeanor should have indicated something wasn't right. At least we got some sort of discount. I don't plan on returning. read more

Giving this place 3 stars only because of the waitress, Maxine, who waited on me and the beer. Since this place brews their own beer, I was stuck with their house IPA...I was offered a sample taste which I accepted. Beer was good. The food, absolutely awful. Ordered fish and chips. Was immediately informed that they don't have cod, the usual type of fish for this dish. Instead, I was informed they have a flounder. I did not mind the flounder, even preferred it. Food came quickly - not really a good sign. The fries were old and dark and dry - bottom of the overused oil pan - gross, cancer ingredient for sure. The flounder was so bad - no meet, just breading, even the waitress felt bad and immediately told me she will request another piece. When it arrived, it wasn't any better and she knew it too. I want to stress out that I never uttered a word of complaint. The waitress saw the food and that was enough for her to act. In addition to the no meat-on-the-fish, the flounder was very bland, pretty disgusting. Otherwise, the place is nice. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff very friendly and attentive. I left a nice tip for Maxine and may be back...just not for fish and chips! Bon appetite! read more

I stopped and get take out. I got the 5 bone in Buffalo wings, pretty good, nice crunch l, good sauce, tender chicken. I also got the side cobb salad, it was fine, not really my cup of tea, but I wanted a salad and they did not have a garden salad(pro tip: order extra dressing, because one is no where near enough. Finally I got the Steak Frites, slices of steak cooked yo order and house fries. I requested Med Rare(mainly because I do not think steak should be cooked anymore because it destroys the flavor and texture). That being said I usually would prefer a cook more towards medium than the other way. Half of my order was border line med rare, the other half was border line tar-tar. In which I did not eat. But overall a decent meal. read more
