Sylvan Grove had been in desperate need of a convenience store for years and along came Hometown…read moreConvenience Store to fill that a year or so ago. Bread, milk, eggs, cheese, lunch meat, condiments, chips, soda pop, beer and a host of other goodies! Remember that this is a convenience store and not a full grocery store so they won't have everything that you would find in a regular grocery store. It does have those extras as you can have pizza made to order! So whether you are short on eggs or beer or just need a "hunk" of pizza and a soda - Hometown Convenience store is there for you from 7 AM to 10 PM, seven days a week.

The Java chip, though, was a letdown. It was advertised as a blended coffee, but it had zero coffee flavor. I ended up ordering a shot of espresso to add to it, which helped a bit. Without the shot, I'd give it a 3/10--with the shot, maybe a 5/10. After that, we headed upstairs to the brewery. The friends we were with were impressed by the huge selection of beers, ciders, and wines on tap. I ordered the margherita flatbread and oh my god--so freaking good. 10/10, no question. I'd order it again in a heartbeat. Everyone else was happy with their food too, and our server was super friendly and really attentive. Overall, great vibes, great service, and that flatbread was the star of the show!

A random little girl told us that we could sit wherever we'd like and we had to go get our own menus. We didn't even have a single server greet us or tell us can we get your drinks? Nothing we sat there for almost an hour. Even after trying to ask for someone to wait on us what we were reading with was a very rude response. Needless to say we walked out. We were not gonna go ahead and waste our money or time any longer there. So unfortunately, we didn't get to try their food, but their service was so bad that it made me nauseous.

I ordered a pumpkin spice chai tea. Absolutely delicious!!! My husband got just regular black coffee and thought it was a bit weak for his taste. The man behind counter was very responsive to questions. The gal that checked us out was maybe new because she appeared to still be working on service skills. This place is a little more than 2 miles off highway 70 as general fyi. The signage for this place is kinda small- the name is written on the window but not on the awning over it. Plus it shares space with some kind of little store which I would have loved to look around but they were closed. Probably saved me money and time!

While in Wilson, we spotted the Midland Railroad Hotel and Restaurant and decided to arrange the itinerary for our next trip so we could spend the night in WIlson. So, we arrived late afternoon and got checked in. The hotel has been restored to what it was like around the 1920's but with full upgrades including fire sprinklers, air conditioning, etc. Our room was a bit on the small side (1920'ish) but was quite comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and we got a great night's sleep. The was a complimentary breakfast in the morning that consisted mostly of local bakery projects, meats and cheeses. If you looking for modern amenities or a full HOT breakfast, you should stick with the major hotel chains. BUT, if you're into history and histrorical restorations, this place can't be beat. We thoroughly enjoyed our night in Wilson at the Midland Railroad Hotel and Restaurant.

Midland Railroad Hotel & Restaurant - This hotel was built in 1899 and it sits right in front of the railroads hence how it got its name Midland Railroad hotel.

Fortunately, there was an open table when we arrived, and we were greeted and seated pretty quickly. It took a few minutes for our server to take our order, but we could tell she was covering most of the tables. Once we ordered, our food arrived promptly. I had a bowl of the tomato basil soup, which is gluten-free and very tasty. My partner had the breakfast plate with bacon, quiche, grapes, and toast, and he enjoyed his meal as well. After we finished eating, we waited a while for our check, but our server was tied up handling to-go orders, so we ended up paying at the bar.

The cinnamon rolls are the best we have ever had. They are also different variations of cinnamon rolls such as pumpkin rolls that are tasty too. We also ordered biscuits and gravy, and pancakes. My husband was reluctant to try the homestyle syrup, but you cannot go back to maple syrup after having their homestyle. The biscuits were fluffy and buttery, and the gravy was rich and had plenty of breakfast sausage to give it some bite. We have made the trip to Durham three more times since our first visit.
