    a menu on a table
    Jeff F.

    I stopped in here on a whim, didn't really know much about it but the place was packed so I figured it must be good! Indeed it was good! And the ladies that work here are amazing! They really take care of their customers. I don't travel through Pittsboro often but next time I do I'll be back!

    I went to Pittsboro for a 9am visit with a client. Turns out that I had the wrong time and I had an hour to wait. So.... Breakfast!! What a great mistake. I noticed that the place was full of people. Went in. It was buzzing with activity. They gave me a table right away. I had coffee and placed my order. The food was ready in less than 5 minutes. Ham, bacon and cheese omelette, hash browns and toast. It's a fairly simple breakfast. But it was done to perfection. The food was not overcooked. It was to greasy or dry. I don't remember the last time I order an omelette that was this good. Hash browns were amazing. No wonder the place was packed... Oh, almost forgot: the ladies working the floor were very courteous and had a great smile!!

    Got to locals favorite restaurant for years. Get there early 11:00 am if possible to get a table. Park in the back parking lot because the street parking out front is scarce. Tuesday is the fried chicken special day. Some of the best locally sourced farm to table Southern fried chicken in North Carolina. Variety of great choices on the menu. The shrimp Po'Boy is excellent. Southern fried okra is hot, a little crunch, and delicious. Southern style tea is the beverage I ordered with a few lemons to kick it up a bit. Home town flavor, hospitality, friendly staff, excellent fast accurate service, delicious food make all the difference. Highly reccomend.

    The Friday night steak and the chicken Alfredo are good options if you're feeling fancy. I love the BLT and fried okra. Good for lunch, too.

    Enjoyed a really nice dinner here last night with a beyond incredible staff that went above and…read morebeyond to check in on us frequently (server and owner or manager- not sure which) and make sure we had everything we needed and were very happy. I was blown away by how attentive and friendly they were despite being super busy. For the environment, the place felt a bit loud and crowded - which for one was a testament to how well liked it appeared to be (we are visiting from out of state) and how they had to make very creative use of the space as they must cater to so many in a smaller space. It was also clean and quite nostalgic with lots of interesting old time memorabilia - and didn't try to go too cheesy and over the top with the theme though again was a bit too busy and crowded and could have maybe used a more highlighted 'less is more' approach to showcase the ice cream shoppe feel, the old time candy shop ambience, etc. I also loved that there were no tvs to distract from the ppl in front of us, and though time period music would be fun, it might have made it even too much louder. I appreciated very much that they seemed to want ppl to talk and enjoy the company in front of them. The fried pickles app was really good, and the dreamsicle style shake and curly fries - sooo delicious! The ice cream concoctions we didn't try, but saw delivered all around us were huge and fun and looked so good! The BLT was a bit dry and could have used a good mayo or sauce, and my sister's Hawaiian chicken didn't have the Hawaiian bun but it was unique and still not bad. Though with the soda shoppe name I had hoped for more unique or home made soda concoctions or offerings. Overall though- the food was mostly really really good; it seemed cute and beloved and very popular with the town; and there was a clear pride in the place - and very apparent love and appreciation of the customers by the staff which was number one in what I saw and was very impressed by. They just need and deserve a bigger space!

Sat down and was greeted immediately ordering a water and sweet tea. Loved looking thru menu with so many good choices. We were going out for a big dinner later so this was suppose to be a small lunch. My wife ordered a cup of soup. I ordered a bowl of brunswick soup and a grilled pimento cheese sandwich. I could not finish the soup as the bowl was large and amount of meat in it was abundit. My grilled cheese was wonderful, I love pimento cheese. Unfortunately we could not try any of the soda or ice cream products this trip. The service is great and friendly. Restrooms are restored old school design. Will return to try other menu items and some Soda Shoppe product.

My daughter and I were celebrating my…read morebirthday with afternoon tea -- a tradition we've enjoyed at places across the country -- and this one fell flat for the price. The good: beautiful space, excellent Harney & Sons tea, and outstanding scones. Unfortunately, that's where the highlights end. The milk bread used for all the sandwiches was dense, dry, and hard to swallow, which wiped out an entire tier of the service. No one came to check on us, so we had no chance to raise our concerns. A booked baby shower in the same room completely killed the ambiance, and despite noting a special birthday at reservation, it went entirely unacknowledged. Beautiful bones, but the execution made my birthday memorable for all the wrong reasons.

The service and presentation of each plate was outstanding. We had the 3 course Prix Fixe menu, and we got something different so we could try 6 things. Overall, the food was good but did not quite rise to the same level as the presentation and service. Rating by plate: - Pumpkin Squash (2 stars): It was very hard and not very warm. Do not recommend. - Pork Osso Bucco (5 stars): Best thing we had. Wish we both ordered this one so we didn't have to share. - Beef Tenderloin (4 stars): We enjoyed it, but have definitely had better for less money. - Seared Chicken Breast (3 stars): It was a rectangular piece of meat, which was unexpected. I would compare it to chicken at a wedding, but I've had better at a wedding. - NC Cheese Trio (4 stars): Large portion of cheeses with a nice variety. I wish the crackers had more variety (not all seedy). - Chocolate Soufflé (5 stars): This is their signature item and a must get! The name on the menu is more complicated than the word chocolate, lol.
