This place is amazing! I happened to visit on Thursday, Nacho Night, and it did not disappoint. I had the Jamaican jerk pulled pork nachos, an IPA on draft, and a house margarita. Everything was absolutely delicious! Even though the place was packed, the service was friendly, efficient, and attentive. Visiting from Massachusetts, I expected the prices to be a little lower than what I'm used to, but they were even better than I anticipated. Definitely worth a visit--I can't wait to come back! read more

The Workshop Tavern - Jamaican pulled pork nachos - Salad Near Me - Aberdeen, North Carolina

Workshop Tavern has quickly become one of those places I can't stop recommending. It's rare to find a spot where the food, service, and atmosphere all hit the mark every single time, but they've managed to pull it off. The dishes are packed with flavor, clearly made with quality local ingredients, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the level of creativity coming out of the kitchen. The staff is consistently warm and attentive, making you feel like you've been coming there for years. They do take reservations, which is great for bigger groups (anything over six), and even when there's a wait, it moves fast. Never long enough to be a hassle. One of the things I love most is their daily special. The rotating menu keeps things interesting, and you can tell the chefs put real thought into crafting something unique each day! If you're searching for a place that blends comfort with standout, big‑city flavors and quality food, Workshop Tavern is the spot! Truly the best restaurant in the area! read more

Great spot to get a really good cocktail and delicious food with awesome specials! Service was great and I loved the vibe of this place. Happy we found this while we were in town visiting my father in law. read more

Okay, looks like I get to play spoiler here, but I call them like I see them, not like I wish they would be. This place is so-so. Only street parking from what I seen. They're a dime a dozen anymore, oh, let's create a craft beer/whiskey bar with bar food in some trendy spot with a trendy name. Voila $$$s. Not impressed. Menu is WAY overpriced for what you get. Mac & cheese bowls average $20? It's just Mac &cheese with a little BBQ pork or whatever. Oh and I asked the waitress if she had any Texas Pete, and she looked at me like I was a space alien and said no. Texas Pete is made in NC, buy some guys, people like it here, and seeing how the BBQ Mac and cheese was sort of bland, it needed some TP. "Cozy" is just another way to say "too small". If you want to be a bar, be a bar, but I'll be honest the food just wasn't worth it. Now, is it really just a bar? Well stocked? Not really. It's mainly a "bourbon" bar. Waitress didn't know what a painkiller or a bushwhacker is, and a Painkiller is made properly with Pussers but most don't do that, it's essentially a pineapple pina colada with nutmeg, or just order these in Florida if you visit. I'll admit some bars just don't know but if you claim to be a full selection bar then carry Pusser's Rum and know that a Bushwacker is a chocolatey Pina Colada famous around Pensacola and USVI. Yet they have like a 60 page drink menu. Sorry maybe I'm grumpy, I came back and gave them 2 stars. Actually, it's hard to find a place that knows how to make good bourbons drinks like an Old Fashioned and Manhattans. I had a very good Old Fashioned. So let's say 2/5 and YMMV and maybe I'll try them again, see how they do with a Sazerac. I went to school at UK in Lexington KY so I know my bourbon drinks. I got spoiled having my first (and best ever) Mojito in a small bar in San Juan PR, but I'll give yours a chance. read more

Great people, excellent food! Very welcoming and even though it is a small space you feel well cared for and comfortable.

We stopped into this DELICIOUS place earlier this week, and we cannot wait to go back! It was a Monday and very busy for lunchtime which I love to see. The ambiance was classy and cozy. All the specialty cocktails around me looked beautiful. What a great menu, it was hard to pick what to get as we sat there and saw everything come out! We got the hotdog, the hummus plate, and of course we had to try the Mac and cheese. Everything was wonderfully presented and tasted equally delicious! The service was quick and very friendly. You could tell everyone was having a great time and must frequent the place. What a little gem of a place to find while vacationing. Highly recommend if you would like an excellent meal!!! read more

Nice bar and ok food. I had the BBQ plate. I would imagine when they have music going, it would be even better.

Excellent food and service, highly recommend. Very friendly atmosphere. Pleasant environment. read more

From the comfort of their macaroni and cheese to the creativity of the daily specials (hash/pulled pork nacho/Swedish meatballs/chicken and Lemongrass) quality and service will not disappoint. We always stop in whenever we are in Aberdeen read more

We stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night. All the tables were full, but we were able to sit at the bar. The feel of the restaurant and bar is very cool. There is original artwork everywhere. The bar selection is HUGE! We ended up having wine and a vodka cocktail. The vodka cocktail was delicious! For dinner we ordered the tacos and the Havana. So so good! The service was perfect! Even though the place was full, our water glasses were filled and we were checked on just the right amount to make sure we were doing great. We will definitely return! read more

Hands down best Mac and cheese. Cocktails were great too! Hits the spot type place. Highly Recommend!

Friendly service, great ambiance and food. The food menu is small but the drink menu keeps going and going. The Mac and cheese selection is amazing. My son had the original and my son husband had the vegetarian Mac and cheese. I had the jerk chicken panini. It had a nice kick to it and wasn't too salty. Will be back when we come back to town. read more

A group I was with stopped by for dinner after a day at Carolina Horse Park. I always try to find local restaurants to try versus chains. There were about 8 of us and the host was helpful in putting two tables together for us outside. The staff were friendly and attentive, even as things got busier into the evening. My chicken Caesar was good, not mind blowing, but decent. It came with a side of chips. They have a nice sized selection of drinks ranging from craft beer to mimosa flights and cocktails. read more

Food and service are good however, $23.00 for a starter? It was one of, if not the most expensive item on the menu. Honestly, I didn't even notice the price until I got my check. At that point I had to look at the menu again to see if it was correct. Totally over priced. I feel like I got duped. read more

Appreciate this place on so many levels. Great spirit selection although not drinking for lunch. Ordered the Prime Rib and Mushroom Melt with side of mac and the Greek Plate with Souvlaki. Sandwich was tasty, good bread. Greek plate unfortunately was nothing to write home about. Souvlaki seemed heated up vs. made in house. Same with hummus. Good olives though. The side of mac n cheese stole the show. Slightly grainy texture with perfectly cooked pasta. Will definitely be back only this time with the Havana sandwich in my sights. read more

Recommend! Small menu but everything we had was scrumptious. Cool vibe. Friendly waitstaff. Excellent food. Adding this to our list of restaurants we like to go to when we are in Pinehurst 2-3x a year. I had a salad with a delicious chicken breast on top. The small was like a large in most places. Had a side of barbecue sauce for chicken. It was perfect and fresh. My husband loved his pulled pork. We shared a mac & cheese. My only complaint was the cornbread muffins we had to start were a little too sweet for my taste. (But we ate them all haha) read more

I love this restaurant! the staff are wonderful-attentive, friendly. The food is excellent. Fresh, innovative, hearty, tasty,- a cozy atmosphere with a hometown feel. Known for mac and cheese items but everything is delicious. read more

Very good service. Had the prime rib sandwich as it was excellent. Will definitely return.

Service and food were great! My husband had the Sunday special- an egg scramble with waffles with a Bloody Mary and I had the spicy chicken sandwich and mimosa flight. Busy little place- we will be back. read more

On a Saturday evening my daughter enjoyed the prime rib special (great mashed potatoes and corn as the side). I liked the shrimp lettuce wraps and my husband had the bbq plate. I ate his corn muffin and loved it. Service was great and considering my daughter has eaten here 3 times in less than 10 days - I would say this restaurant is a winner! We enjoyed eating outside-next time I just need to remember to bring some bug spray! read more

Food at establishment is great but need need to update the online menu!!! The items we ordered are not available anymore!

Great local tavern Friendly service, super atmosphere and good food. Try the frito scoop tacos.

Not only is the food fantastic, but I feel the portions are generous. We have had some good servers. It can be noisy, but not in a bad way. Just people enjoying their food, drinks, family and friends read more

Loved the atmosphere. Loved the Korean food vibe. Would love to see more menu options.

The Workshop Tavern was one of our favorite restaurants when we moved to Southern Pines this year. We've had lunches and dinners. My husband was only underwhelmed by the Spicy chicken Mac. Just a personal taste. On the too sweet side. But always received good service. We ordered for pick up and got home less than 10 mins only to be sad as the mac n cheese was dry and unflavored. I think it was just a problem with consistency or detail for take out. We may only eat in from now on. read more

Been wanting to try this place for awhile now and decided today is the day and we are not disappointed. Tried the walking taco (soooo good!!) their signature cocktails are something we've been looking for since we got into the area a couple years ago. This place is a must try if you're ever in the Aberdeen area. read more

Oh goodness, so good! Large portions so be prepared! We couldn't finish half our meals haha. Service was good, the ambiance is great and the food was delicious! I got the spicy Mac & Cheese with chicken and I was so glad I did! Very flavorful. A little sweet even! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! We went here for good cocktails and ended up finding great cocktails and even better food. I have nothing but good things to say. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will be coming back here way more than we should! read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars because they deserve it. The food is so fresh and delicious. It's super cute spot but it's tiny although they do have outdoor seating. Come early or make reservations. The staff is great! They work hard to get your food out quickly. It's truly some of the best food I've ever had. Hands down. read more

A fantastic place to eat. The atmosphere was great. Golf on one TV, Basketball game on another, and Pink Floyd playing over the speakers. We had the BBQ Mac/ cheese Bowl and the Prime panini. I highly recommend this place. read more
