We finally made it to the famous Wooden Nickel last night about 5:30. (New to the area). It took a…read moregood 4-5 minutes sitting at the bar before we were greeted, but after that service was prompt and efficient. We ordered the 1/2 order of fried banana peppers, dry rub wings, a bacon jam burger and tots. Oh! and beer! The star of the night was the banana peppers. Tangy and delicious, the small was huge! The wings were def done right and although I'm a blue cheese fan, the ranch was better. I'm knocking off one star for the burger. It was $16 (with tots) but it was tiny! It had one slice of red onion, a few shreds of lettuce, maybe a teaspoon of bacon jam and I'm not certain it had cheese at all. It tasted great, and the tots were perfect, but for that price I expected a burger that was bigger and more substantial than a $4 burger from Jimmy's. With all the other stuff (we shared) we were full but on its own, that burger would've been a disappointment. I'll go back for those banana peppers and wings, but I'll skip that little bitty burger.

I'm a U.S. Navy Veteran and was having a conversation in this establishment with another veteran. At some point, a female and her friend decided to interject and tell us how what we were talking about was wrong. Fair enough, everyone is entitled to an opinion. At that point, the bartender kicked me out, and let them stay. After asking why I was being removed, he simply said that I had been there longer! These girls were trashed! If you want a good experience in Hillsborough, NC; do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. This establishment cators to liberal politics and agendas. You will absolutely NOT receive fair treatment here, especially if you are a Veteran!

The service is friendly and fast. They bring out drinks and refills quickly. The place is like a seafood restaurant for lost in the piedmont.

Their grits tend to be under seasoned, but the grits absorb other flavors which helps. The pasta is overcooked and a little on the mushy side. Everything else law is spot on though!!
