My husband had essentially the BLT plus avocado and turkey and I think that was even better. Could do with some fries instead of chips though . Coconut cake was also delicious! Next time I'll have to try the pulled pork sandwich. I only wish they were open later. I can totally see myself enjoying a cozy soup and hot sandwich on a brisk fall evening with some live music under their string lights.

Merritt's is a place on my list (and my mother's) for a while, and now we have a chance to visit. We made small talk with the staff. They were thrilled to learn my mother bookmarked this place when she worked at UNC Hospitals some years ago. The staff treated us well. They call out orders by name, so listen closely for your name. It was too hot to eat outside, though I imagine their bamboo patio out back will be delightful to sit at in the cooler months. The inside tables along the window have a view out to the street. There's a display case featuring fresh made desserts and other sweets worth checking out. I loved the fresh tomato, lettuce, and crispy bacon on this sandwich. I'd enjoy coming back, though I think I'll take my sandwich home next time. BLTs are the specialty here, and they do a great job making them.

You can order on your phone, so not much to say about service but I didn't have any problems. I got a sandwich that I built and it was delicious and well toasted, so did my friend.

The place is an old school diner/pharmacy soda fountain. The lunch menu is a decent size with a large number of sandwiches, entrees, wraps, and salads. Drinks come in large cups with a refill. We decided on a turkey Ruben, a chicken wrap, and a turkey on focaccia sandwich. Food came out pretty fast once the lunch rush was through. We seemed to arrive in the middle of their busy time, but it did clear out. Prices are very reasonable as well. Great for a casual lunch for anyone. Convenient right in downtown Chapel Hill.

Man, WHAT A SANDWICH! I got the chicken cutlet sandwich with prosciutto (Uncle Primo's Chicken…read moreCutlet), and it absolutely did not disappoint. Easily one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time!!! The chicken cutlet was delicious, the prosciutto added a great salty flavor, and the whole thing just worked. I would absolutely go back just for this sandwich. The only downside was the wait. We stood in line for about 45 minutes in the heat, and since it's a pretty small spot with no real waiting area, it can be a rough experience during the summer. There also wasn't any shade or any umbrellas, so standing outside for that long was definitely brutal (highly recommend they add a couple umbrellas or covering to help). That said... what a sandwich. The food was good enough that I'd happily come back and wait again. I'd just recommend going on a cooler day or being prepared to stand outside for a while.

I got half an uncle primos chicken cutlet sandwich ($11). It was a lot of food and was loaded with chicken! Even just the half sandwich was too much for me to eat at once. While it was tasty, I did feel like it was missing something, and personally didn't find it to be worth the wait. But if the line were shorter in the future I'd come back and try other yummies from the menu.

The place is clean, welcoming, and has exactly the kind of relaxed vibe you want from a good pub. It's also a great spot for groups to get together, grab some drinks, eat good food, and just hang out. We've also ordered takeout several times, and they do such a great job with it. Everything is packaged really thoughtfully so the food stays as fresh as possible and travels well--which honestly makes such a difference. You can tell they put just as much care into their takeout orders as they do when you're dining in. Definitely one of those places we're always happy to come back to! Try the French dip, burnt ends and the poutine!

There are always games playing on the ginormous TVs, and it doesn't have such a hectic vibe like other pubs do. We ordered a bunch of food for the table, and we had zero misses. We got the goat cheese pizza, chicken nachos, truffle fries, caprese sandwich, and the pork egg rolls. 10/10s all around! The pizza was paired with rich goat cheese and topped with a sweet honey glaze that was so good. The pork egg rolls were so rich in flavor, and the truffle fries were so so addicting. And you can't go wrong with the chicken nachos and the caprese sandwich. Servers are all nice, and just an overall great time.

There was plenty of parking. We were greeted upon entry and informed that we could choose where we sat and just to scan the table QR code when we were ready to order. We chose a high top and a server brought us water. The vibrant colors and decor gave off excellent vibes. I ordered the Karaage Bowl (on greens instead of rice AND all the sauces on the side) and a side order of seaweed salad. A server brought them to our table. It was not necessary for us to get up once we were seated. Everything was SO GOOD. Like, "I'm mad at myself for not coming here before" good. All of the sauces were amazing too. I ordered them on the side since I wasn't sure how I would like them all, but I think I'll leave them on next time. The "greens" were a mix of lettuce and cabbage. The side of seaweed salad for $2.50 seemed a little small when they brought it out but it was packed in there and was plenty. The server came around a couple of times to check on us and top off our water. We bussed our own trash. There was only one unisex bathroom that I saw. There seemed like a lot of takeout orders going out (it was a little separate from the dining area which was nice). There was also a lovely outdoor area that would be nice if it wasn't 100 degrees. I will definitely be back to try more menu items!

I've been coming here since my UNC days starting in 2008 and even though I'm now much farther away, I still make the drive. That says everything. This place has been a community staple for years, and I was so relieved when they reopened after the fire. The Mediterranean menu is unlike anything I've seen -- the selection is massive and everything is fresh and authentic. They also serve Turkish-style pizzas, bake their own bread daily, have a small grocery, and offer desserts. Don't skip the chocolate baklava -- perfectly baked, not too sweet, and generous with the pistachios. The owner is kind, engaged, and genuinely part of the Chapel Hill community. You One practical note: downtown Chapel Hill parking is no joke -- towing and ticketing are aggressive, so give yourself extra time to find a spot. Totally worth the effort though. If Yelp allowed ten stars, Met Deli would get every one of them.

Out of their signature burgers, I've tried the chorizo, the jalapeno-pimento cheese burger, and the goat cheese burger, all delicious. The restaurant itself is homely and welcoming.

Eating at Buns overall guarantees a unique flavor experience every time I visit, which is why I regard it so highly out of all the other burger spots in the Chapel Hill area.
