    The loaded fries
    Jim B.

    Carolina Brewery Wednesday night is fried chicken night. I had the half chicken with mash potatoes. I did this plan for leftovers tomorrow. The half chicken, is wing, leg, thigh, and breast very tasty. I always order the half so I have leftovers. It is just as good warmed up the second day. My wife had the ale meat pie, it had a thin layered crust top with a meaty vegetable mixture beneath. My wife enjoyed and I sampled the pie. It was a meaty tasty mixture, it was on the seasonal menu. So, it will be around for the month. But, on Wednesday I never pass up the fried chicken. We also shared the loaded French fries. They are so good and so large they would make a meal by themselves. So, that is how I made room for leftovers.

    Looking around Google maps for a lunch place near the hubs mom I came across Carolina Brewery.& Grill. We ordered the cheeseburger egg rolls and 2 mason jar Mimosas to start. The egg rolls had good flavor and were nice and cheesy. Evidently, you can only get one Mason jar at a time because it's not the drinking glass size jar, it's large and has a whole bottle of bubbly in it. We got grapefruit instead of orange juice and it was delicious. Hubs got the chicken and waffles, his mom got a burger and I got the Chicken biscuit with pimento cheese. Everything was great and my biscuit was thick and messy... Yum! We sat outside as it was a beautiful day. Our server was a little off his game as he'd worked a double the day before, but we really liked him. It would definitely be a cool place to go see live music while enjoying food and drinks. Good location for the growing area. I'm sure we will be back.

    My friends hosted their rehearsal brunch here. They had catering and I have to say the food was delicious!!! We LOVED the salmon. The staff who served everyone were polite, friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Many of us got drinks and we were happy with them! I definitely would love to come back here if I'm ever in the area.

    Wednesday night fried chicken.

    I was a little hesitant because of the reviews but I went anyways. I had a great time. And I was lucky to pick Wednesday which is fried chicken night. The food was good. The beer selection was great. And the young lady bartending was awesome. Looking forward to the next time!

    I visited the Carolina Brewery with a large group celebration. The business was very accommodating with giving our party a separated area in their upstairs loft. The staff was very friendly and attentive to everyone and their requests. I ordered the Brewery Cheeseburger with fries. It was delicious. The burger was cooked to my liking and the fries were tasty. This location offers a selection of IPAs and hard ciders that pair great with their menu items. Stop and give this place a try the next time you are in Pittsboro.

    "Queso"  absolutely horrible quality and no care for customer experience.

    I have had several negative experiences and gave them the benefit of the doubt once again, but the standards here have really slipped and food quality is minimal with no care for consistency or the customer experience. I am in the top 10% of restaurant reviewers on Google Maps and have listed my several negative experiences...none of which have been acknowledged or addressed by the restaurant or management. I will never be a customer again...more than 3 strikes for me.

    Carolina Brewery Cheeseburger! Always delicious!

    Always good! Used to be crowded at lunch, but now hardly anyone ever there. What happened? Has there been a change in Management?

    Omg ! This place is amazing! The customer service is professional and friendly! The burgers are a MUST! There is minimum wait time and reservations are not required. The prices are budget friendly . The ambiance is clean , rustic and there is a glass door that displays the brewery. I will be back!

    Potato Chips instead of nachos. I like nachos chips better. Not enough black beans.
    Terry W.

    Had some nachos after a trip from The Plant. Not really liking the potato chips nachos. Not enough black beans and could have had more chicken compared to others I have had. Go back to the nacho chips. If you do continue with the potato chips , cut them a bit thicker and larger.

According to my wife the house Pinot Noir was good, as well as her croissant breakfast sandwich with avocado egg and ham. Tried to get the blackened fish tacos for myself... they were out of fish... I had the steak instead and they were very good. Ordered hush puppies as a side and those came out cold.... I did order a cold salad and fresh. Plenty of TVs to watch in this two stories establishment and they and staff willing to switch to what people wanted to watch. All in all a good place, with a friendly staff and great service from Emerson at the bar. Other than some shortages in the kitchen and on tap, it was a good experience.

The service was solid--nice young lady from UNC who was very attentive and friendly. The food was meh. The burrito bowl was super salty and blah. The pork sandwich was soggy. The Mac and cheese was bland. The blackened fish tacos had hardly any fish. I'm guessing there are better choices on Franklin.

The…read moreold steam plant is such a cool setting and they did a great job keeping the industrial feel of the building. Definitely worth walking around and checking everything out. We did a beer flight with the Lime Wheel, Putterboy Pilsner, Hundred Acre Honey and Cardinal Breeze. All were good, but the Cardinal Breeze was easily my favorite. Tasty, full bodied and really smooth. The Lime Wheel was refreshing but I wish it had a little more lime flavor. We also got the Smokehouse Sampler. The food was good, although some of the meats were a little dry. We had just come from the BBQ Festival where we had some amazing brisket, so admittedly the bar was pretty high! All of the sauces here were really good. The Hickory was a little sweet for me, but that's just personal preference. Our server Donna was great. Very helpful, fun and made the whole experience better. Cool building, good beer, good BBQ and really good service. I'd definitely come back, especially for another Cardinal Breeze.

Ended up getting a flight of beer to be able to sample a few of their brews, the stout was the best one. Super smooth to the palate. Ended up getting a pizza which had a selection of their smoked meats on it, it didn't disappoint. Some portions of the crust were a little too hard as opposed to softer and chewy. Price point was not bad at all. Great place!
