Fantastic food. Authentic, simple, delicious. This is our go to place and the best authentic Mexican food we have found in North Carolina.

Pimiento Tea Room - Seafood Nachos

Thankfully, I had been to the Pimiento Tea Room for lunch before, because if my first experience…read morehad been this dinner visit, I likely wouldn't have returned. The décor is absolutely stunning, and the service was excellent. We visited during Christmastime and truly loved the festive decorations. Our drinks were perfect and well-crafted. For dinner, we shared the chowder, which unfortunately was underwhelming--the croutons were the best part. We then ordered the chicken, salmon, and mashed potatoes. The salmon was dry, the chicken was on the bone with very little meat, and the mashed potatoes were surprisingly disappointing. I even took them home hoping I could improve them myself. I will likely return to the Tea Room because I enjoy supporting local businesses and genuinely like their drinks and small bites, but I would not come back for dinner.

This place is a bit of a hidden gem in Holly Springs. It sits in an old house at the end of the…read moretown limit...not the Holly Springs limit per se, but the area that most people would walk on the Main Street. It definitely has that tea room flair with lots of wild decorations. Wallpapers with cats and astronauts, snakes hidden in roses, silhouettes of famous people including Homer Simpson and Big Foot. I like it all. The dip du jour was the best part of our meal. They had a pulled pork with cheese and bourbon and Fritos the day we went...it was really good. As was our chai which I would hope they get that right since they are a tea room. They will bring you more hot water if you want to reuse your tea press to squeeze out a little more tea from your leaves. The 10 layer salad was definitely worth it as well, I think the pimiento cheese dressing puts it over the top. I got the seafood nachos and they were just okay--mostly nachos, very little filling . Girlfriend got the quiche and thought it was okay as well. She chose this place for the gluten-free options including the scone which she loved. They clearly indicate on the menu what is gluten free and understand the safety around it. Service was okay. It wasn't bad but it wasn't the best either. We haven't been back yet but we plan on coming once or twice a year to try out the seasonal menus as well as more teas and dip's du jour. I recommend it for smaller, less filling meals such as lunch.

They were doing everything right, even down to the Dr Brown's, and they had ZERO flavors too. There is a meat and cheese counter,r but most of the length of the shop is pastries, cakes, pies, es and other beautiful-looking treats. We ordered our sandwiches; I had an Italian sub, and it was just ok, kind of dry and lacking in flavor; frankly, Jersey Mike's makes a better Italian. But my wife got theReubenn, and it was simply the best Reuben we've had outside of Katz in NYC. I order Rueben's all the time, and I'm consistently disappointed. Most are dried out, have too little meat, and the corned beef is often dry, but not in this case. The sandwich was truly worthy, and we are ready to go back and have it again. Moist, flavorful meat, a generous portion, and the dressing andkraut weres well balanced. The bread was grilled, not toasted, and was itself rich and flavorful. Altogether, it is a Reuben worth driving a distance to have it. We are already planning to come back and try some of the baked goods, but also get the Reuben again too.

I had the day off and wanted a sandwich to take with me on a walk at the tobacco trail. Been here…read morebefore and had a sandwich directly from the menu. It was meh. The caprese I think. This time I ordered ahead and made my own. Yum. Loved skipping the line and just picking it up. Marble rye toasted, mustard, smoked cheddar, spinach, red onions and turkey. The sandwich was huge. I also asked for a pickle and got two over wrapped spears. While I didn't love all the plastic, they were great. Nice surprise. I had the second half for breakfast the next day.

I eat a more Vegan menu so this place did really well! I can't wait to bring my wife here but we…read moreare from out of town so it will be a while. I had the root veggie bowl and added lentils for protein. I asked for dressing on the side because I want to dress my own food. Before I dressed it I took a bite, wow! It could be eaten with no dressing! It was absolutely delicious. I asked if they have a vegan sauce and they did not know. CAVA has several vegan dressings available that are marked on the bottle. Might be something to consider. But, wow. I can't wait to come back! My drink was the Mango Apple Kale. It was very good and not too sweet. It's 7:10 on a Wednesday night. The place is not real busy but should be. The first experience was worth reviewing, they did great. I eat at chipotle a lot and their tables are always dirty and garbages overflowing but this place, no. The Farmside Kitchen tables are all clean in the lobby. garbages clean, floor...clean. They are going to do great. I look for forward to returning or finding one in my area.

Grabbed lunch from here recently and enjoyed it…read more Parking was simple, as there's a big parking lot for all of the nearby businesses. I got my order to-go and it was prepared on time. My wife and I both ate the Caesar salad and it was pretty darn tasty! The chicken was flavorful and the dressing hit the mark. I will say that the side of bread was pretty bland, but it's free so I can't complain too much :) Inside, it looked clean and cheerful. Overall, I would definitely come back to this location to grab a healthy meal.
