Despite the busy lunch crowd, we were seated immediately, and service was fast, friendly, and very much in line with that classic Southern hospitality vibe. Unfortunately, the food didn't really deliver. Portions felt small for the price, and the flavors were pretty underwhelming. I ordered the quarter-pound brisket with fried okra and mac and cheese, but nothing stood out. Sauce options were also limited--just a vinegar-based and a tomato-based option. We also noticed some quality control issues: one friend received burnt toast, while mine was barely toasted. Overall, the service was great, but the food fell flat. I'd probably try a different spot in the area next time, though BBQ options in Hillsborough are fairly limited.

The sauce was unique for Bojangles, but the fact thats its just a chicken strip in a hotdog bun makes it a little less special. Also I've always had a pet peeve with the fries, I don't know if its in multiple, but THIS BOJANGLES IN PARTICULAR OVER SEASONS MY FRIES. I can't ever finish my fries because of the EXESS of cajun seasoning. "Ask for light seasoning then." THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH ON THE FRIES ANYWAYS. Also I forgot. But an interesting thing about the Bird Dogs is that two of them is practically a chicken sandwich with a better sauce. And their 2 for 5 deal puts it a whole $0.50 under the actual chicken sandwich.

Just so happens, the rude guy working the window had a different thought in mind and literally said talk to me not to him if you're trying to order.

The Farmhouse is about as authentic as one could hope for in this modern world of constant attention grabbing media and technology driven algorithms. No app to order, no QR codes, the lighting is dimmed to create a chill setting, and it was a welcome change from the bright lights and inauthentic greetings from walking in to many modern restaurants. You walk in, wait for the one cashier/host to work down the line of guests both checking out as well as requesting a table, and sit on the log bench to await your server. The walls are adorned with historic characters of nearby UNC, along with antiques and many of the hosts and servers are chatting with locals that they have obviously known for years... maybe decades. We were there on the Saturday before Father's Day, so maybe the dining area was extra busy, but we waited no more than 5 or 10 minutes for a table to open up and we were seated. Very quickly, our server brought a plate of liver pate, a soft cheese spread, surrounded by some fresh cut veggies, and another basket of assorted crackers. The pate was a bit salty, but paired well with the veggies, and the cheese was... well, cheese. We decided to split the bigger ribeye (12oz) and the server said they would go ahead and cut it in half and serve on two plates. We had an extra salad ordered and opted for a loaded baked potato. Pretty standard fare for a classic steakhouse. No fru-fru dressings for the salad, just your standard ranch, bleu cheese, Italian, French, or Thousand Island. Back where the kitchen was located there stood the head steak chef, busily moving the cuts along the grill and transferring them to cast iron skillets as the serving plate (VERY hot... use caution with errant fingers and forearms). The potato was piping hot... literal hot potato. The server added two generous bowls of butter and sour cream to make the potato our own, and the crispy (though fake) bacon bits added some crunch and saltiness to the mix. I dolloped some of that cheese spread from earlier for a bit of a mix and it was perfect. The steaks were cooked perfectly, and the only thing I could think of that would improve them would be using some of that excellent butter on the grill while cooking. The flavor was good but just needed a bit more... umami. We added a side of horseradish to punch up the flavor and it was a perfect addition. All in all, an excellent and romantic change of pace that I was very happy to have experienced.

This is a little off the beaten path but if you follow the signs, you will have no problem finding it. There is plenty of parking but no marked spaces so you just have to hope that most of the guest use common sense and park well. There is a sign on the front of the building that says FARM HOUSE and a door but it's not clearly marked as an entrance and no hours are listed. When you enter, there are still no signs and you have to guess which door to open. I had been here before 20 years ago, so I knew to expect that it was dimly lit inside. We had a reservation for 8 at 6pm. There was a line in front of us but we were seated promptly. I didn't see the entire dining room as it seemed sectioned off, but it must have been large because people kept coming and and kept getting seated. It never felt crowded. Part of our party was late, which highly frustrated me and made me feel bad for the waitress (and made me completely understand why some restaurants won't seat you until your entire party is there!) But Marsha, our waitress, was so incredibly gracious and brought us drinks while we waited. The cheese, pate, and veggies were a nice change from the bread basket you usually get. The pate by itself was a bit too salty and smoky for me but combined with some of the pickled veggies, it was excellent! They had a decent selection of beer and wine and Marsha made sure to point out that they had a full bar. When we finally ordered, almost everyone got the 8oz Ribeye. The steaks come with a potato (regular or sweet), and a house salad (you choose the dressing.) I got a sweet potato and ranch dressing. The sweet potato comes with brown sugar (on the side). Butter (and sour cream and imitation bacon bits) are already on the table. I did ask about the lettuce and she said that it was from a local wholesaler and it came in heads and they chopped themselves, which I felt safe enough to eat. The salad was good and the potato was SO HOT. It stayed hot the entire time I was eating it. The steak was also screaming hot which was much appreciated. However...the website says that they cook on a charcoal grill. That may be but there were barely any sear marks on my steak. It wasn't brown on the outside...and everyone knows that brown food tastes better! It was also pretty tough for a ribeye. I was not really impressed. $33 for a 8oz Ribeye, salad, and potato would be a pretty good deal if it was all yummy...but sadly this just felt overpriced. It was my brother in laws birthday and they did bring him a free dessert which was very nice! There is 20% gratuity automatically added to parties of 6 or more. They did split checks though. It ended up being a good night to celebrate a birthday but I will not come back on my own....huge shoutout to Marsha who was the best part of this experience!

Early Barber appointment in Hillsborough had me looking for breakfast soon after and Yelp reminded…read moreme of The Village Diner that was conveniently on my route back to the office. Not having the time to sit down and enjoy the meal (which I kind of regret after arriving to pick it up); I placed the order through the TOAST App and it was a very easy, straight-forward menu and ordering process. I went simple with a B-Y-O Biscuit of sausage and egg with a side of home fries. I really appreciated the choices of egg style on the biscuit customization menu and went with scrambled for this one. All of that washed down with a simple black coffee. Ten minutes later and I'm at the restaurant that's an easy, short jaunt from downtown on King Street. It occurred to me then that I'd been here once before when it was in the whole building but that was years ago. The new space is cozy, with a down-home feel of mason jar light fixtures, vintage signs, and just a nice diner vibe. A few minutes after arriving, I received my order and was out the door, pleasantly happy with an affordable breakfast in my hand. The food was excellent, the sausage tasted almost local, and the egg was perfectly cooked and proportioned. The biscuit was perfectly baked, slightly fluffy, with a buttery flavor that complimented the sausage and egg. Next time, I'll add a spoon of blackberry jam or apple butter and I think it would knock it put of the park. The home fries had good flavor, but I forgot to ask for any condiments, so eating them plain was a bit of a frustration, but they had a dusting of spices that worked. The coffee was piping hot, fresh, and what I would call standard fare diner coffee.... but you're not here for the coffee. All in all, highly recommended and I will be back, though maybe for a lunch meal next time.

I'm not really into biscuits so had a bacon, egg and cheese on potato bread. I was surprised that it was a half sandwich, but Bread Shop bread is so big I guess that's why. It was very tasty, although would have liked the bread a bit more toasted. They make their own pepper jelly on site so had that on the bread. It's not too spicy, but does have a bit of a zing. What I didn't use I brought home. If I'm in the area again I'd def give lunch a try.
