    The 2nd anniversary brought out both young & old. 1st time here and only 30 minutes from N.Raleigh. What a great family friendly place. Not sure it is this busy all the time or just because it's their anniversary but this is a wonderful spot in Hillsborough. Big open green area for kids to run around and picnic tables set up. The tables in the sun could use some umbrellas with the heat but they do have seating on the covered porch. Staff is super friendly and overall vibe is relaxed.

    Enjoying a flight!

    We were in town visiting family and headed over to Eno River Brewing on a Saturday afternoon and I immediately loved it!! It's located on the banks of the Eno River and has a giant beautiful lawn behind it, a spacious covered porch, and inside seating with plenty of room to enjoy your beer. For my drink choice I decided to order a flight to get to try a few different styles of beer. My favorites were the Time Back Helles-Style Lager and the Hydrologic Tropical Wheat Ale. Both so delicious! The ladies working the bar were so nice and friendly and it was such a welcoming environment. Such good vibes. They had great music going too, I could have hung out there all day!! If we lived in the area this would 100% be the brewery that we would be at the most!!

    Very open and clean space!! I was stunned, because the outside is very early 20th century cotton mill!!Went to this venue for the FlushFest, an annual town festival where they raise money for septic systems for third world countries. (Clean drinking water and good septic systems will positively impact both infant mortality and general health and longevity immediately. Great charities to support!) There were a few food trucks, and several bands scattered about the area. The main room is deceiving - it's inside an old textile mill, but indoors is all modern - smooth plastered walls, stainless steel bar and brewing tanks visible from the public area. They have 6-8 very different styles on tap. We each got a different style and were all happy with our selections. Even with the crowded atmosphere, the staff were able to keep drinks flowing and everyone happy. I would like to make a return trip on a non-event day to see what it's like then.

    Cool spot! Lots of outdoor space but good to bring some chairs or a blanket just in case you can't get a spot at their tables! They do allow kids and there's plenty of space for them to run around if they need to get some energy out. Seemed like they had a decent amount of IPAs. I ended up getting the brown ale which was good.

    I would recommend each of these beers from my flight!

    I found myself in Hillsborough and decided to treat myself to a new to me brewery yesterday. It was nice to see a food truck in their parking lot when I pulled in, but I was really looking forward to having a sampling of their beers. I sat down at the bar and began to build my beer flight options. The staff were pleasant and engaging. It was a nice space, and feel silly admitting that I didn't even step outside to scope out the seating, there appeared to be a decent amount of tables and chairs out there. I really enjoyed all four of the beers I ordered, but my favorite was called the worst kept secret and can't wait to return for a pint or two in the future! Keep up the good work, I will be back'

    Flights are appreciated when a brewery is new!

    Beautiful setting by the river and good beers too. Great for getting together with a small group and enjoying a relaxing evening/day.

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.

    I've been hearing about this Bull City Burger spot for over two months, (noted for their tasty…read moregrass-fed beef) and in watching the reviews -- I figured that the experience should be very pleasant; to the eyes and the palate. I was hoping I would not be disappointed. Downtown Durham on Parrish Street I do believe. I went there midday and there was a sparse lunch crowd already seated when I arrived. The warmly lit space presents nice aesthetic as you walk into the restaurant. A very chill and comfortable atmosphere. I love the bar and the mirrored wall nestled behind it. The spot is pretty laidback and very clean, but has a bit of a rustic nuance to it as well. I like that. The serving staff were extremely nice and helpful towards advising me in making my selection -- with me being a first-timer and all. I kept it simple...I chose the Classic Burger (pink) with pepper jack cheese, bacon marmalade, and as a side, I had to go with the Dirty Fries -- 'cause that's how I roll y'all. About the food: I have to say, the burger was staunchly built and crafted with artistry. Nice and tall with a seriously tasty bun encapsulating everything. Perfectly well-seasoned meat and the first bite was simply delightful. I noticed as I got towards the center of the meat, it was bit less juicy than the surrounding parts of the burger, but nevertheless still tasty. My Dirty Fries were delicious In the end; the experience as a whole was quite delightful and I would definitely like to go there again -- perhaps try a different burger to expand upon my experience with this place. Gotta try out That Bar y'all! I do recommend it for those who haven't had a chance to go by there to check it out.

My wife and I were attending a show downtown, so decided to do dinner before. We were greeted by the hostess and seated quickly. The atmosphere is very laid back, but well decorated, and designed. They've got a great beer variety, offering a lot of different styles. And their food menu offers a selection of apps, sandwiches, burgers and salads. I ended up getting a chicken Philly with sweet potato fries, it was good, and the bun was stuffed full, but far too hot and too messy to try and eat with your hands. I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. The fries were cooked perfectly, just a slight crispiness to the outside and a soft filling inside. Pricing is a little bit on the high end, but the food quality is good. It's a nice spot, right in the heart of downtown, and they've good food and beer to offer. When it's not raining, they've got a beautiful beer garden on the side of the building you can enjoy a sunny day at. I'd definitely recommend this as a spot to visit if you're wanting to check out something local, while downtown!

Took home a lot of left overs. We were going to Caroline Theater for a comedy show and this was a perfect location to eat before.
