Townhall has the most consistent and dependable menu in Chapel Hill. The food is always excellent, and the staff is outstanding. If you're looking for a genuine smile and great service, ask for Amber--and if you stop by, tell her I sent you. read more

I haven't been here in a while and last time I had the wings they were moist and more flavorful. These tasted over cooked and a bit dry. The side salad was just ok. The lettuce kinda wilty in spots and the overall salad wasn't my favorite. Location is spot on as it's walkable and the staff nice. But the food did not live up to past experiences here. That being said I will return and try another dish as I do like it here. read more

So good!! My friend and I ate outside on their pretty large outdoor patio which was super nice! Southern Village is a nice community area. Our server was super sweet, a fellow UNC student! They have a really large menu- I can guarantee everyone could find something they would like. I got the grilled chicken sandwich with the mushrooms, grilled onions, pickled cucumber, gouda, etc and it was amazing. My friend got the southwest salad and enjoyed it. They have special menu items named after UNC basketball players such as Armondo and Seth Trimble which is fun. The players are actually pictured eating their specific menu item at the restaurant. I will absolutely be going back here and would definitely get the grilled chicken sandwich again!! read more

Decided to give these mouth breathers another chance after getting food poisoning from them before....BIG MISTAKE! Should point again, yes, I got food poisoning from them last time. Ya might think, "Why ya going back to them?", like I said, 2nd chance and all. This time I ordered their Perfect Burger (btw...not perfect...not even close). I ordered ahead of time, running a few errands and when I got to the restaurant they were still working on it. Fine, so I sit at the bar, right by their expo station. The incompetent woman working that station was letting what looked to be my burger and other people's to-go orders just sit in the window, unwrapped. The genius who owns this place apparently decided not to put in food warmers in his expo station....so I got a cold burger and cold sweet potato fries. I pointed this out to the manager and made him aware that the last time I got food poisoning and his response....didn't take responsibility AT ALL! No offer of refund, no nothing. To the manager's meager credit, he did order a re-fire on my order. That being said, when I got it home (10 min drive) fries were cold, burger barely warm and completely lacking in flavor. Folks, if you read my reviews on the regular, ya know I'm not a Karen, I'm not a complainer customer. If I give a bad review it's cuz the business DESERVED IT and cuz IT WAS BAD! I'm a chef by trade and been in the business a 22+ years, and I get it, food service is tough; but guess what? That doesn't mean you'll get an automatic pass from me when ya drop the ball, in the case TWICE! Bottom line , don't here or any of their locations. Crappy food, crappy service... read more

Town Hall Grill - Burger and sweet potato fries - American Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Went on a weekday afternoon and received our food extremely quickly. I believe our waiter was named Ryan(?) and he was the main reason why it was so pleasant to eat out. His enthusiasm and attitude were amazing and his recommendations were great as well. I got sweet potato fries that were cooked perfectly, not at all soggy. I also got the Townhall burger, which was pretty good, but I felt like the bacon definitely was overpowering (that just my weird taste), if you like bacon, that's definitely a burger for you. I am a little disappointed that the burgers are around $15 (on the cheaper side of the menu) and in order to get another side you're charged another $1.50. So it definitely loses a star for being so expensive for what it is. Burgers and fries. Overall, I definitely come back but probably for more special occasions. The place was clean and we were in and out in 40mins! (On a Wednesday) read more

Jackson was personable and very efficient. We enjoyed a great family dinner with excellent service.

So, 4 stars because the folks I was with had a great meal and would recommend. And they are mostly trustworthy people. The service was slow, and our server was not the sharpest crayon in the box, had a hard time understanding gluten-free options , or the kitchen was very unclear with him on options, which are both disconcerting. See picture on what $14 bucks gets you. read more

Stopped here to see if this was a good venue for our son's rehearsal dinner. The vibe was not what we wanted and the parking situation was a nightmare with lack of spots and time limits. We did stop and have lunch at the bar and the food and service were quite good. A fine sports bar but not the place for a more formal event due to several constraints read more

Sunday brunch was really good before women's basketball. Server was super personable with great recommendations. The pimento cheese grits were as tasty as the omelet with shrimp, avocado and garlic aioli. read more

A friend introduced me to the Town Hall Grill a few weeks ago. I am glad that she did. I am smitten with the pineapple side down cake here. You have to try this dessert! It's is everything! I have also enjoyed the chicken wings, and the tater tots loaded with cheese, sour creams and pulled bbq. My orders have been served fresh and in a timely manner. I appreciate the attention to detail that the kitchen crew uses when preparing orders. I enjoy the environment of the location. The decor is complete with UNC memorabilia and the customer service is great here! The employees do a wonderful job at making customers feel welcomed. I've enjoyed each of my servers when I have visited this location (Matilda is pretty awesome!) Thank you to the Town Hall Grill for being a welcoming local restaurant. This place is now in my "don't feel cooking" rotation. read more

The food was pretty good. It's a casual restaurant. Food is kind of casual bar food but good. I had the blackened shrimp tacos. My son had the meatball sandwich. Both were good. Was able to park very close to the restaurant. Service was fine. Nothing exceptional. read more

Our waiter, Alex, couldn't have made our visit more fun! Welcoming, nice, humorous, and answered all our questions as first time guests. We both enjoyed our meals. I had the nachos for lunch, which is definitely more than I could eat. My spouse really like the fish, but not as crazy about the fries that have a coating on them and the slaw is blah with a funky flavor. We'll return again to see how their burgers compare to their sister place, Town Hall Burger. read more

Something has changed in the last month or so, maybe staffing or management. Bloody Mary was most recently just tomato juice. Salad portions are smaller. Single not double egg in the breakfast. Burger is still best I can find in CH/Carrboro with attentive waitstaff. Not sure if we will break our bi-monthly pattern and no longer go for brunch. read more

What a great hidden gem. Excellent wait staff great atmosphere everyone was friendly. The food was impeccable. Stopped over for a pregame meal headed to see the tar heels play. I recommend this spot for anyone who needs a quick meal or wants to sit down and enjoy themselves read more

I love a good sports bar and grill, and THG had everything just right. The wings were flavorful and cooked perfectly, the beers were cold, the outdoor seating was plentiful and they were playing both the World Cup and then the UNC game too. I would definitely go back here to watch a game or just relax with friends. Great service all around despite being completely swamped with patrons. read more

Dined at the bar on a Friday night. Granted, they were busy but I felt invisible the whole time I was there. The wings were very good. The Peruvian chicken was dry and overcooked, and the mashed potatoes weren't completely mashed and had chunks of raw potatoes in them. The gin and tonic tasted like pure tonic water. I shared this with the manager who thanked me for my feedback. Needless to say, I will never return. I should've known better looking at their 3.1 Yelp rating. read more

Everything from the service to the food and beer selection is great. Our most recent visit, Kevin was amazing. thank you. Also, amber is always pleasant. Jimmy always has a kind word. Our favorite game day go to!!!! read more

This place has fallen apart, what has happened to the quality of food and service, the place is usually empty, so there should be no excuse. Ordered a dozen wings and half of them were still raw after the first bite, it also took 15 minutes to get drinks and there were maybe 5 tables in the restaurant. I asked to speak to a manager and nobody came over. I actually had to get up to find someone to ask for the check. Done with this place, it might be considered a locals spot, but that will only last so long if they keep giving this type of food and service. Advice, retrain your kitchen, servers, and managers because it's obvious nobody cares about what they do here read more

The food here has always been good to fine. But why on earth did y'all think you could cut the food portions in half (of your already meh food) and still charge the same (already insane) price? Everything here is extremely overpriced, like $15 - $17, and it's never worth it. You're paying $15 for a $5 meal. Want a salad? Cool $8 - $11. Want meat on that? That'll be an extra $5 - $9. $20 for a salad that would be $10 max ANYWHERE else. I'm done with this place. read more

We ordered food for pickup and we were automatically charged 18% for tip. Normally, I tip a few dollars but I didn't realize when I hit the Apple Pay that it was added. They also add a pick up fee to your order... never seen that before. So we spent 43$ on a pick up order for a burger and a salad with grilled chicken. To top it off, they didn't give us the chicken and my husband had to go back to get it. Food is decent but disappointed with the service and mess up. read more

The service was very good! Typical bar and grill atmosphere with lots of sports memorabilia. Husband's chopped salad was great with grilled chicken. My Philly cheesesteak not so much. Bun partially burnt as was some of the veggies and meat. Fries were good. read more

Where did the old staff go?? We were seated outside after a brief wait. Our server forgot to bring menus, and took way too long to bring our sweet tea and iced water. Finally we put in our orders. The Shrimp app was good if slightly fishy smelling, sadly the burger was over cooked and there were hardly any Fries, it used to be a heaping portion now it's a flat layer. Pasta dish was bland. Server vanished and never refilled out drinks on a hot humid day... we were going to get the pineapple cake desert but decided to ask for the check from a different staff person and left. read more

This place was yummy. It was walking distance from our hotel. We started with the calamari and banana peppers...I've never had fried banana peppers but I'm now a fan. I had the seared tuna sandwich my husband and sister in law had the chicken sandwich both were very good. Shout out to our server Brian. He was sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. Town Hall Grill is a cute spot and I recommend trying it if you're in town. read more

Although I have visited this restaurant several times, have always enjoyed the food, it is ordering the food that has me question dining at this establishment. We have had a 50/50 experience with waitstaff. Some are great, attentive and address you right away. Others will pass you by over and over, without a greeting, a hello, or an acknowledgement. We have even had the owner address us because of the lack of attentiveness. My last (and probably final) attempt at eating at the Town Grill, my partner and I waited 10 minutes with the waitstaff crossing our table before we just left without acknowledgement, much like the service we received. If you are thinking about dining here, you may be pressing your luck. Have a backup plan. read more

Molly was the best server I've ever had! What a fantastic overall experience. My highest recommendation to you all!

I was in the area due to a doctors appointment. After waiting an hour over the appointment time before seeing the doc, I was very hungry! There are a lot of great places to eat around here but I decided to try Town Hall Grill due to its proximity to the doc. I say this to establish that I didn't seek out this eatery, it was more for convenience. For a Wednesday at 2pm it was understandably slow. I got a table right away and was greeted by a friendly waitress. Looking around it's for sure a Tarheels bar, but the decor is not all sports - industrial lighting and minimalistic shiplap type walls update the space. It's a bit confused, but nice. My base deciding factor on any bar/pub type restaurant is the quality of wings. Town Hall Grill delivers! I got the tequila lime wings and they were crispy, juicy, delicious. My mom was with me and she got the iceberg wedge salad and it was huge and she enjoyed it. That's all we had, so I'll keep it simple and say I'd go back when in the area. But I'd probably stay away on game day. read more

This place was a miss for me. I recently moved into the neighborhood and was looking for a quick bite to eat so I stopped by to order some chicken wings. I brought it back home to eat and it was quite overcooked and the jumbo wings were as tough as beef jerky to eat. The flavors weren't there at all and barely tossed in sauce. read more

Great staff especially behind the bar. We normally eat at the bar because they always take care of us. Jeffery read more

Went here on an accident lunch date with my partner Lol. My partner got the Alfredo with just the veggies and I got the bean burger with fries. We also got zucchini fries. It was mediocre. For the price it wasn't worth it. The plates and everything were fancy but eh. The bean burger made me have diarrhea very bad. About 5-10 mins after I ate it. I had to get to the restroom. The service was nice they were very attentive. Overall 3/10. Wouldn't recommend it has an okay vibe. Also one of the servers was very loud and cussing with some of the people in the restaurant. I guess they knew each other but spilling tea to the customers is messy lol. read more

The restaurant was a very distinct miss for me. This review is based on my brunch experience on Sunday October 23, 2022. Place was moderately busy .. did not seem to have adequate serves to address all the needs of the tables. Saw manager go to several tables to check on patrons during my dining experience and help address their concerns. Curiously enough, he avoided my table like the plague. Ordered chicken and waffles. My guest ordered french toast. She loved the french toast. My waffles were cold, burned, and tasted stale. Chicken was hot ... but was dry. Sauce was supposed to be a ghost reaper maple syrup. No spice whatsoever. Just tasted like simple maple syrup. No problem, if that is all you are expecting. Our waiter was hijacked to handle a large table. Poor guy was very apologetic as he never got back to check on us and see if we liked out food for about 20 minutes .... I of course was not happy with the order but by that point my companion was done, and we needed to leave for another engagement, so there was no opportunity to get anything else or a new order of the dish. Once I indicated how disappointed I was with the dish, everyone steered clear of the table. The server was kind enough to take the meal off the bill at least. I paid and left. Next time, will go to brunch at Flair Restaurant in Governors Village about 10 minutes away. A little more expensive but have never had a bad experience in quality of food. read more

YUM! Blackened shrimp tacos (3) for $13 and a very delicious medium rare California burger with hot fries.... Felt like a solid find!

I had a late lunch with my sister. I had the most amazing Manhattan Clam Chowder. I want the recipe. These clams were very tender! I also had blackened shrimp tacos. These were excellent tacos. I usually ask for more heat, but why mess with their perfected flavors. More food than I should have ate...so yum! My sister had the nachos...she said they were standard nacho food. The service was standard to good. I like how the place was very clean. read more

Got a burger & fries. Ordered the burger medium-rare. It had no flavor, and was dry as a bone. Fries were overly salted and left them. Friend got a salad and it looked good. Service was good -- but burgers are not! read more

Trust the other reviews on here. We waited 15 minutes at the table with no one to attend us. Our waiter was overwhelmed, she made it to our table twice (she had a great attitude considering the stress). The food was sub par. My burger had HARD bacon, and the bland black bean burger busted. Also there were kids running around playing hide and go seek. I couldn't hear myself or my company. read more

Very poor customer service in addressing an error/issue on their part. I found a rubber band in my south west salad on 5/17/24. The manager and GM poorly handled the issue and insinuated that the rubber band did not come from restaurant, after the manager initially stated that the rubber band came from their produce! Simply owning their error and being concerned about the customer's experience in their establishment should have been of greater concern. Instead focus was on attempting to deny their screw up & expecting me to pay for a "replacement" salad. The manager and GM should be ashamed of how this situation was handled. I should have taken a picture and posted it, but I prefer handling issues in a more professional manner. Shame on (poor) management at The Town Hall Grill in Chapel Hill!!! read more

Overpriced, not very good food. I had the $18 spaghetti and meatballs. Meh. I can make it better. Hubby had the $14 Cuban sandwich and it had too much dill on it to be good. read more

Savanah, our server was great. She was laid back, attentive but, not overwhelming. Food was marginal, although the portions were more than adequate. Beer was a plus. read more

We come here very often. Burgers are very flavorful. Their brioche bun is fantastic with their burger patty. Only thing I would change in their burger is to change the green lettuce to iceberg lettuce for more texture. I love their fries. Fries are out of this world. Crunchy and fresh. Chicken wings are good/ batter is on the sweeter side than I like but it is tender inside and crunch on the out. I love their beer collection and seasonal beers from the microbrews. It is a great environment for family or to go to have a little drink with friends. read more

Added to show owner's reply. No wonder his employees act like they do. Dear lucky 13 I have followed up with my team on your experience . I have been in corporate hospitality business and owned my restaurants for over 30years . We continually working with our team on guest service and using yes sir and no sir as part of respect . Your steak was a Ribeye Steak .USDA PRIME beef . That is the only Cut of meat we serve . Steak was consumed by your guest and you had our Quinoa burger .you were seating out door , thank you for compliments on our bartender . You had also wrote about us in april of 2016 . And mentioned how southern village is a restaurant waste land ? I appreciate your visit with us , we ( collectively at SV ) are proud to be here and always consider comments regarding our operation as an objective view to improve . Your last two review for THG is simply not how we operate . And deliver guest service. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse....it does. I'm really not sure if the owners want to be in business. I'm pretty sure they don't because this place is highly unprofessional with overpriced, unseemly food. After being seated by the most disinterested host our server, Austin greeted with 'sup guys, and then proceeded to proudly inform us he was hungover but since he got a nap earlier, he was feeling better. So glad to hear that. Such an offputtimg way to start out particularly as we have a kid in college and we're not keen to commiserate with someone recovering from binge drinking. After I answered with a "that's lovely" he became the biggest snot ever. Being obnoxious in his overuse of ma'am and sir, curt and just barely pausing to put dishes on table. He didn't ask if we were finished, he just put the check down within five minutes of "serving" the food. I ventured in because they had a new veggie burger on the menu which I was excited to try because it didn't have black beans and the ever present chipotle mayo. (Though they still have it) What it did have was a bunch of cumin which made no sense in spinach and quinoa. Try adding sage and rosemary. But one of the biggest FAILS was serving a flank steak for $17. This is the cheapest pieces of meat and barely qualifies as steak. It was a small, thin shriveled up thing that should never be served, at least, not for $17. My husband's beer was also not cold enough. See photo for dish. Fills only small center of plate with a few piddly vegetables and tablespoon of mashed potatoes The only two decent things were the bartender made my drink right and the side salad was good. read more

We were in town for our son's wedding with limited time and unfamiliar with the area. We walked into the restaurant, all 28 of us, with no reservation for lunch. The servers were personable and very accommodating. Great ambiance esp. the outdoor area. Everything was clean with a fun vibe. The food was delicious especially the burgers and salads. We considered having the dress rehearsal dinner there but unable because of size issues. However, Jesse, Director of Marketing/Private events, was professional and so easy to work with. She was very flexible and a good listener and always easy to reach. This is a true gem of a food establishment, especially during these times when service is lacking. If you want a quick bite, a nice lunch or cater a fun event, DON'T HESITATE to go to Town Hall Grill. Can't wait to be back in the area to eat there again. read more
