I've recently relocated from Winston-Salem Salem to Raleigh and Mebane was the sort of the best halfway point to meet a friend who was driving in from the Triad. Paking is limited, but we went in the evening on a Friday and had no issues parking at the bank across the street. The restaurant is in a small building that looks like a converted shotgun house. But they managed to stick in a small bar and several table. There's also patio seating before you come in. It wasn't too decorative because they were thoughtful about preserving their space for customers. You could see part of the kitchen and food prep area from the dining room. The food. We ordered crab dip and pot stickers for the appetizers. The pot stickers were average. I did enjoy that the wontons were crispy thee the way around. Nothing special about the filling or flavor. But the crab dip was pretty good. Very cheesy and could have used a little more crab, but it was out favorite thing of the night. For entrees we ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with fries and the Grilled Salmon Salad. The tacos and fries were cold by the time they reached the table. The taco itself wasn't that great. It was dry and the aoli seemed to make it "bang" seemed like it was just mayo with sugar. The Fried shrimp were crispy and seasoned well. I just wish they were warmer and coated with sauce. The fries were rosemary-ee (not a word but fits). The were God, but i wished they were hot when they reached the table. Finally, the Salad. It wasn't as pretty as I wanted it to be and I had tons of the hard white peices and not enough leaves. The candied pecans weren't very special and didn't give much of a crunch. However the salmon was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. It was our second favorite thing. Overall we thought that they were great with the big things but need to polish some of the little stuff. I would go back and give them another try. I would have ordered some of their features but everything was served with risotto. I probably could have asked for different sides but did bother. I say go try for yourself. It's a cute date night spot.
This restaurant in Mebane was a by chance stopping - it was so Crowded due to a large party but the wait staff were amazing and we had the best lunch. Everything was so fresh and inviting - loved it.
This place is one of those places where you look at the menu and instantly want to order one of everything. Thankfully, I managed to narrow it down--but the temptation was real. We started with the Pimento Cheese Hushpuppies, which I had high hopes for. They were a bit over‑fried and dry, with more breading than cheesy center, and the jalapeño bacon jam was watery and didn't quite complement the hushpuppies. That said, the concept is fun, and with a thicker, chunkier jam, I think they'd really shine. The Fried Oysters, however, were a completely different story. Perfectly breaded, not overly heavy, and full of flavor. My husband--who's keto and peeled the breading off--still commented on how good the oysters themselves were. If anything, we just wished the portion was bigger. The star of the starters for me was the She Crab Soup. Creamy, rich, and loaded with crab. It was one of those dishes you keep going back to between bites of everything else. And here's my pro tip: dip the hushpuppies into the soup. It transformed them from dry to delicious, and I even suggested to our server that the kitchen consider offering them together. For my entrée, I had the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with a side of pasta salad. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the Thai‑inspired sauce had a sweet kick that I honestly wish there had been more of. The pasta salad was classic but surprisingly good--fresh, balanced, and better than most versions I've had lately. My husband ordered the Salmon & Shrimp Scampi, swapping the pasta for extra spinach to stay keto. Both proteins were cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and plated generously. Overall, the meal had a few highs and a couple of misses, but the quality of the ingredients and the creativity of the menu make this a place I'd absolutely visit again. With a little fine‑tuning on a few items, 2 Twelve has the potential to be truly exceptional.
I really enjoyed this restaurant, I just wish I took a picture of my meal! I will have to go back to try another meal, that's my excuse.... had a great time.
We went on a Tuesday night to celebrate our anniversary. We made reservations but really not necessary. It wasn't busy. Since it was the day after Labor Day so may have affected the number of patrons. The was excellent. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The food was good. Our orders were mixed up but they were quick to fix. I had the seafood platter with oysters and flounder. It was fried. The oysters were fried perfectly and the rosemary fries were tasty. I took the flounder home along with the fries. Next time I would order something not fried. My husband had the Cajan pasta with fried shrimp which he said was tasty. Since we were celebrating our 60th Anniversary they allowed us to choose a complimentary dessert. We chose the bread pudding and it was delicious. We look forward to returning to try some different entrees. There was not much ambiance but the restaurant was clean with an open kitchen concept.
Came just to find a place to eat in Mebane, and happened to come across this place. It's really nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We came when the it wasn't really busy so service was fast. I got the pimento cheese hush puppies, they were decent. i expected more pimento cheese, but they weren't bad.

Amazing food! Ed is a phenomenal chef!!! My partner ordered an amazing seafood pasta. The sauce was excellent! I wanted to take his plate! LOL. My meal, the Charleston Crab Cakes, was really good too (I asked that they put the creamed corn on the side -- the crab cakes will come on top of the creamed corn if you don't make a special request). But when (not if) we return, I will be ordering the seafood pasta for sure because it was that good! A friend recommended the pork chops and the burgers. The ambience is quaint and the indoor dining space is very small and cozy. There was a bit of a wait when we arrived. I recommend making a reservation if you don't want to dine outdoors. It was January so too cold for us to eat outdoors because there is no heating and the overhead fans were on! Also, please bring a little patience for parking because this restaurant is in an area of downtown with limited parking. read more
Sunday brunch here today was really nice! We made a reservation, but there was no one waiting when we arrived. We were quickly seated, and our food came out within about ten minutes after ordering. My friend enjoyed his 2 Twelve Burger and fries. His burger was well cooked, and he finished it in the blink of an eye. I barely have words for my Low Country Bowl! It was loaded with six huge shrimp, tons of andouille, applewood smoked bacon, stoneground cheddar grits, a sunnyside up egg, and a savory sauce. I love shrimp and grits, and this one was absolutely amazing! The decor was clean, rustic and slightly industrial. Our server was delightful and friendly. She checked on us often, and she kept our water glasses full. There is street parking, which was fine on a late Sunday morning, but could get tricky on a weekday or Saturday evening. A very pleasant experience! read more

Had dinner here to celebrate a college graduation. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I had the shrimp and grits that was a special. It had the perfect amount of spice. Well developed flavors. Others had the crab stuffed grouper, ribeye, Cajun pasta, filet and scallops, and burgers. Our group shared each of the deserts. Chocolate Creme Brulee. Key Lime Cheesecake. Coconut cake was one of the best I have had. It almost had a hummingbird cake vibe. Delish. read more

The menu is short and sweet to not be overwhelmed with too many options. The food is well prepared and flavorful. The dining tables are a little tight but it is a small space overall. They have some covered outdoor seating options as well. The service has always been great each time I've dined here. The drinks could use a little improvement but overall a great place to dine. read more

On an absolutely beautiful first day of September, we decided to give this spot another try & take advantage of their cute patio. I'm happy to share that the service was vastly improved over previous visits - Aiden & Lani we're our servers and were super attentive and friendly. The food remained as it had always been, consistently good. read more

My favorite bite: The Prime Rib Sandwich (sliced prime rib of roast beef, caramelized onions, shitake mushrooms, provolone cheese on a sub roll with au jus sub roll with a side of Au Jus) What to know for next time: Call to make a reservation. I held my birthday lunch with my family. I called a day before to make reservations for a party of six. When we arrived at 12:45, the only table available was the one we reserved. This was also during the week. Pro tip: The pimento cheese hushpuppies are a great appetizer. What gave me pause: 2Twelve in downtown Mebane. There's street parking, but no dedicated parking lot. read more

I took my husband here last night for his birthday. The food was delicious. I got the Blackened Salmon Salad and he got the Pecan Crusted Chicken. Both dishes were delicious. We both got mango margaritas which were pretty good, however we could not taste any alcohol at all. Also, it was rather hot inside the restaurant. Not sure if the air was not on or was not working. read more

Service is good, waitress was very pleasant. Always thought the food was good but had plastic pieces throughout the entire risotto due to the truffle butter not being added properly, as per Derrick. Scallops were closer to rare than medium and I had everything coming out of both ends of me within 2 hours. I hope they improve and don't get shut down. I won't ever go back. read more
I'm giving 3 stars because there were a few problems with our meal. First, I noticed the silverware wasn't super clean. Maybe it just didn't dry correctly or something but it looked a little spotty. Second, I was able to see the kitchen and look at the window where food is placed for servers to grab and saw our food sit under the lights for at least 5 minutes. By the time our waitress brought our food my chips were cold and the shrimp was warm at best. Last, the shrimp tacos I ordered were not that "fancy" for the price. The shrimp was good and the sauce was yummy (which is why I gave at least 3 stars) but it only came with diced tomatoes and shredded lettuce. I expected a little bit more, maybe a slaw or something "fancier", and was disappointed by the plating. Other members of our party were disappointed by the onion rings. All in all, not bad but not great. Would possibly come back but I wish it was a little bit better. read more

Came here to check this place out because a friend said I should try it out. Was very glad I did. The food was very good, the service was good and the atmosphere was very pleasant as well. They also have outdoor seating. If you like to eat at the bar, they also have a bar area. I had the General Tso"s Chicken Tacos that were very good. If you want to come by on a Sunday, they have a brunch menu. read more

A friend and I visited this place for the first time on a Tuesday evening. Things started out rocky because there was no interior seating and we had to sit in the outdoor area. Unfortunately, it was in the 30s and there were limited heaters. The two heaters that were present outside weren't doing much to make the space a comfortable temperature. Our server was also having a hard time juggling the folks inside and us outside. Luckily, before our appetizers came, a party on the inside left and we were able to take their table. It was much more comfortable once we got inside. We had fried calamari and fried oysters as apps and enjoyed both. They were fresh and large portion sizes. I had the ribeye steak as an entree and my companion had the chicken as well as bread pudding for dessert. I appreciated that the server kept my Shirley temple refilled without me having to ask. We also got to be right by the kitchen so it was a good view. While there's not much seating, I did like that we weren't able to hear other folks' conversations. I would be willing to come back again but I would definitely try and get a reservation. read more

This was our 1st visit to 2 Twelve. It was for a late lunch. We arrived after 2 and there were surprisingly more people there than I anticipated. We would have liked a seat at the bar, but the small bar was full already. The place is very modern and pretty. You could see there are regulars. The waiter makes them happy. Our only complaint about the atmosphere was the choice of music. It was a perky horrible electronica. It was like something you hear while shopping at The Gap. We each had a bowl of the French Onion Soup. The soup was classic and spectacular! It had a rich flavor and was full of onions, bread and cheese. It was a meal in itself. The menu had a nice selection of appetizers. We ordered fried oysters and mushroom risotto croquettes. The oysters were cook perfectly and we agreed that the cocktail sauce was the better dip than the remoulade. The croquettes were okay, they had a marinara sauce dip, Instead of the marinara, I think the remoulade or aioli would have been better with those. The things we chose were rich, delicious and filling. Prices are reasonable too. Just get better music. read more

We wondered if we would have to mark reservations but turns out we did not. I could see how you might want to though because it's a very small place to go but they do have a heated outdoor area which is where we sat. I ordered the seared salmon with saffron risotto and asparagus and my friend got the crab cakes with risotto and asparagus. The food was delicious, the service at first was slow but our waitress was kind and once she was alerted we were at her table, she was quick. I think their communication as a staff needs some work but otherwise it was an enjoyable experience and food was great! read more
