I had the pleasure to return to Celebrity Dairy for the baby goat arrival. As they are not back to…read morethe Open Barn days, they were allowing reservations for small groups again to come learn about the dairy farm; the goats and the inn. We got to bottle feed the babies and mingle with them. We also got to tour the Inn and saw a glimpse of the original log cabin. It was a very educational experience and they had goat cheese; gelato and fudge for sale too! The staff was so welcoming and answered a lot of questions. I want to go stay the night at the cozy inn now. Next year, when the new baby goats are born as then I can spend as much time with them as I want :-) I am looking forward to the monthly dinners returning as well.

They have a LOT of beautiful goats, all ages, all colors and personalities, but they also have chickens, llamas and horses. The goats are very friendly and love to have someone pet them. They are born and raised right there on the farm, so they love people. Although the lunch was very good, I loved spending time with the sweet goats. Lunch was lemonchello chicken, a nice salad, rice pilaf and roasted veggies. We had a lemon tart for dessert. The table was set so nicely and we really enjoyed our meal. We had a great tour of the facility and our guide answered all of our questions with her super knowledge and huge amount of patience! A wonderful place to take children...I will bring my grandchildren here for sure. Call ahead before you visit. Thank you Celebrity for a wonderful time!

Unfortunately, it was raining pretty hard when we arrived so I wasn't able to take photos of the outside building. It was a pretty large space. It was obviously renovated to be a venue for events. It has a modern industrial feel. The walls were distressed brick. There is a covered patio out the back doors that led to a cocktail area. To the side there is a grassy area as well. The bathrooms are immediately to your right as you come in. There are ample parking lots in the back. I found this to be a beautiful venue. Even though I probably won't be in the area again, I would definitely come back!

The accommodations were perfect - several bedrooms on site with bathrooms and 3 pull out couches. Large kitchen and common areas too! Fire pit outside. Great screened in porch. NO TVS (which I like, since I'm not a TV person). I would do this all over again here. When we left on Sunday (we had the place rented from Friday to Sunday), I cried because it was such a wonderful time and a beautiful place. All our friends could stay onsite and everyone enjoyed their time. It's such a lovely venue in rural Chapel Hill and bonus was at night fall Saturday night, we could see the shooting stars overhead.

We started with the hush puppies - drizzled in hot honey with a side of butter! They came out hot and were amazing! My mom ordered the smash burger and fries and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the chicken BLT sandwich and fries and it was delicious! It was a bit messy, but worth the mess! My dad had the tomato soup and it was creamy and delicious! He got the chicken piccata and finished it! He said the dressing was a bit wet, but outside of that, no complaints. Our server was new - or nervous - or both, but he was super nice and did a fantastic job! My favorite part - their kids menu is for kids and kids at heart! I wish every restaurant with a kid's menu lifted their age restriction and allowed anyone to order from it!

The staff are all family and they are some of the most friendly and gracious people you'll ever meet. The food is consistently excellent. Served cafeteria style you have a choice of several meats and vegetables. The fried chicken could easily be the anchor for a franchise restaurant because it is the best fried chicken I have EVER had. They have captured the essence of authentic Southern flavor like the chicken my grandma used to make in a big cast iron skillet. All their vegetables are fresh and taste rich and flavorful, no canned veggies here. Even the hush puppies are soft and delicious! The homemade fresh squeezed lemonade is perfect and completes the meal just right. If you get a chance, try the macaroni and cheese and the creamed corn - two more items that are so good they need to be shared with a national franchise. You can finish your meal with a choice of several assorted homemade deserts. Trying to decide on a favorite is a real dilemma (but I'm partial to the lemon cake). The atmosphere in the cafe is very casual. Don't let the spartan accommodations fool you - the food and the service are the real stars of the show. Next door in the banquet room you'll find beautiful appointments, a large dance floor and a well equipped stage. This facility often has live music and professional DJ entertainment. If you're considering renting a venue for a private event, corporate event or wedding reception they are worth a look. Available for dine in or take out the Liberty Event Center needs to be a staple in your choices for dining out. Thank goodness a restaurant exists that still offers good old fashioned hospitality and friendly service coupled with exceptional home cooked food.

If your type is big, strong and handsome [BUILDINGS!], Full Frame Theater's Boiler Room has YOUR name all over it (him? her?). This incredible space welcomes guests entering Full Frame Theater, as well as sometimes its neighbor, The Power Plant Gallery. It's a VERY unique event venue flanked by mammoth coal-fired boilers that were used in the original building. You can admire the elevator shaft to the right of the front door, or envision the unseen inside (but very visible outside) base of the Lucky Strike smokestack which The Boiler Room "horeshoes" around. Enormous windows, concrete floors and brick walls give this space the perfect impression for any event [can I plan my next birthday party here?!] No space has ever scream contemporary meets historic so clearly! Plus, doors are open 9am-midnight, SEVEN days a week, so there truly is no reason to miss this drool-worthy space. Secret tip: it's air-conditioned and they've got tall-topped tables and chairs inside along the massive windows. This would be the perfect get-away from the office or {indoor} picnic lunch spot.

I would highly recommend this venue for all your event needs, you and your guests will definitely be in great hands.
