The best breakfast spot in Pinehurst! Definitely worth the wait. All the food is homemade and delicious. Cute little outside patio and lots of dining space inside. Their waitstaff is always friendly and hustling. read more

Great food at a reasonable price. Nice attentive staff. Patio a plus on nice weather days.

Very good breakfast (eggs Benedict, breakfast sandwich). Great service. Entertaining artwork.

To expensive for what they serve, small portions and long wait. Better of going somewhere else.

Probably my favorite new spot. Three kinds of eggs Benedict. I've had all three in the last three weeks. Local honey and artwork for sale. Hidden gem. read more

Best brunch I ever had! Got the California melt. A open face piece of perfection with the most profound flavors to slap my tastebuds. The bread it was on was the perfect crispness like a cool fall morning! The avocado spread on there was the complementing component much like the jelly to a peanut butter or cheese to the perfect wine! Honestly I could go on all day on this masterpiece but there's only so much a read is willing to read, right?! So round of applause, the poetry snap of the fingers!!! WE HAVE A WINNER! Corn gos to.....!!!! read more

The food is always delicious and the specials never disappoint. I always save room for their stupendous desserts! Such a great treat for my friends and I. read more

Delicious food and such a cute little spot. Indoor and some outdoor seating. Loved the paintings all over the walls for sale created by local artists. Very homey feel. Tried the crab cake sandwich, lobster bisque, and prime dip and all were delicious! Service was quick and they were all very nice. read more

Midland Bistro - Crab cake sandwich with lobster bisque - American Near Me - Southern Pines, North Carolina

Been coming to Midland bistro for about seven years. I wish I had reviewed midland bistro when it was really good because it was(4 stars). It isn't anymore. The past few times I've gone, The service was lagging and the food was smaller portions. Some items seemed cold in certain sections as if warmed up in a microwave. Today took the cake. One hour of waiting. Had to get the attention of the waitress and ask if there was a problem. People were coming in behind me eating and leaving. She said the kitchen got swamped and my order got lost. I understand that can happen, but you need to keep the customer informed. I asked if the order has been started she said no. I canceled my order and left. The bacon they serve is precooked microwave bacon and the soup comes in a bag. What surprised me is that the soup is voted best in the county. Oh well. I won't be coming back. read more

Always awesome food, service & ambiance. A must eat place when in the Pinehurst area!! Thank you!!!

Have early lunch there often. They close early afternoon. They have a varied breakfast/brunch/lunch menu that sparks your taste buds. The service is accommodating and although it is usually crowded; it is relatively quiet. read more

For a first time try, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, staff is the country southern charm and so sweet. Service is great walk in find a table and they will bring you everything. Ambiance was wonderful. If you were to have a conversation you will not be drowned out by loud music. I had the California Melt, Oh!!! So yummy the food taste anything like the melt it's a definitely try something new every time you come in. read more

Midland Bistro - California Melt - American Near Me - Southern Pines, North Carolina

This is based on a late lunch ~1pm during the week between Christmas and New Years. I had the French dip. It was so delicious and I can't wait to try other things on the menu. I dragged along my seven-year-old son and he wasn't hungry, but enjoyed two hot chocolates. I can't wait to go back. We are in Pinehurst at least twice a year. read more

Quaint outside seating friendly staff, delicious breakfast and lunches with a decadent dessert counter. Try it out, you will be pleasantly surprised read more

Great atmosphere, amazing food, and our server Emily was incredible. Can't wait to be back. Have you heard of planet fitness? Excellent.

We went here for brunch on Labor Day while visiting Southern Pines/Pinehurst. The Croque sandwich was what both of we're sold on when picking out a restaurant. With Canadian bacon, different cheeses, an English muffin, and an egg on top, it was an easy choice. And so delicious! Unfortunately, they were out of home fries but the fresh fruit was good. Our waitress was very sweet and i really like how the place was decorated. The patio would have been nice to sit at if there had been more tables, but it's also a small bistro so we will just have to come back! Service was a little slow but they were also pretty steady, to be fair. If you're in the Southern Pines/Pinehurst area, this is definitely a cute place for brunch---also, they have bottomless mimosas. If you need a push. read more

Meh. Not much of a varied selection. Almost all of the sandwiches have a garlic aioli and my husband can't handle garlic (I got it on the side so I could add it to my sandwich myself, and it was very garlic-y). I came here specifically for the lobster roll (one of the items available on an old Yelp menu post) but they've replaced it with a Maryland crab roll. read more

Staff are cheerful and friendly. Food is very good. Hubby had the country eggs Benedict and practically wiped the plate clean. He said their hollandaise is almost as good as mine! I had the their version of the croque and it was delicious! Super rich and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Breakfasts come with rosemary potatoes or fruit. Our first time here and it won't be our last! Highly recommend. read more

Delish!! We got the eggs Benedict, broccoli and cheese quiche (both with home fries) and a half lemon berry waffle.. would order all of it 7 more times. Service was great too! Asked for hot sauce and ketchup for the home fries.. did not need it. 10/10 recommend. read more

Service was friendly and helpful. Food was over the top good and if we move to the area it will be one of our regular spots for breakfast and this is high praise because I don't normally like breakfast. read more

The food here is average and the service is horrible. Management should either learn to staff better or find more competent employees.

I am hesitant to give two stars in my reviews, but in this particular case Midland Bistro deserves two stars. I'm going to review both the service, and the quality of the product that I ordered. I'm a full-time remote worker. It keeps me out of the D.C. rat race and I get to live and work on a golf course year round. That's a pretty good deal, right? That said, sometimes I get back-to-back virtual meetings that run long and I start jonesing for lunch with not a whole lot of time between those meetings. Today being one of those days I called into Midland Bistro which is right down the street and ordered their Trio Fromage grilled cheese sandwich to be picked up. "Give us ten minutes" they said, and I'd be able to drop by, pick it up and head back to my meeting. I gave that ten minutes, and then 15 minutes more while I cooled my heels clothed in my best best work from home garb. I finally approached the counter for a second time to ask them to go check on the order, which they then duly brought out from the kitchen. I paid for my sandwich and before I left I (in my most non-karen/ken voice) said that the wait had left me with almost no time to get home and have a quick lunch, and that was about as far as I got. "I'm not the one who took your order" and "It's just a guesstimate", and "we can't really tell how long it will take" all while smiling at me and telling (while not telling) me me to have a good day. I went back to the house to try and salvage at least a couple of moments to have a bite to eat. Then I got home, opened the sandwich and there it sat, a sandwich whose bread was just ever so slightly grilled on both sides. The sandwich wasn't completely done, the cheese in the middle still not melted. I don't know how that happens that some of the cheese melts but the bread isn't grilled like any normal, reasonable person would expect of a grilled cheese sandwich. I can get over the sandwich. I can pop it in the oven at 400 degrees for a few minutes and it will be fine. What ticks me off more than anything though was how sincerely unconcerned was the one person who, in my eyes, represented all of Midland Bistro, was of my time. Midland Bistro is close to home for me. The food has been good enough to have me return, but today--especially as there were very few customers in the dining room, I just don't understand the need to be so dismissive of my time. read more

Amazing breakfast and service! Can't go wrong w/this place. Good old breakfast w/ a So.Pi twist! Enjoy read more

Oh this place! The quaint spot is a delicious spot for brunch/lunch. Daily specials are unique and different. Lucky for us, the soup of the day was their Thai Chicken and Rice. I was completely surprised when it was the most delicious curry style soup I've ever had. I only had a cup and wish I had gotten a bowl (and a pint to go!!) paired with a side salad, the apple cider vinaigrette was beyond delicious. The rest of the menu had amazing sandwiches and other lunch style options. The ambiance was quaint- a smaller spot, probably had about 15-20 tables, we had no wait and food came hot and fast! Good prices ($10 for a cup of soup and salad) and was worth going to! read more

Midland Bistro - Soup and salad with chips - American Near Me - Southern Pines, North Carolina

I rarely leave reviews. I have worked in the service industry for over 15 years and this is hands down one of the most incredible restaurant in area. Not only is the food fresh and farm to table, but the staff is attentive and friendly. The Reuben is to DIE FOR. I can't even begin to describe how excellent the desserts are. They have the most adorable trendy bracelets that are made by a young local artist. They are open for breakfast/lunch and highly suggest the bottomless mimosa. Again, thank you to the FOH and BOH staff. Y'all are stellar in every way! read more

This was a cozy little place to grab breakfast. Great southern hospitality and great food. Would highly recommend if you are in search of a local breakfast/brunch place. The little dining area has a nice view of the garden next door. read more

I tried to eat there but I was told it was a 2 hour wait to be seated. I checked out the website site and did not see that they took reservations. read more

Incredible lunch!!!! My only disappointment is that I didn't know about this gem sooner! I ordered delicious glass of Prosecco while I waited on my lobster roll. It came out in good time and the service was great. The Lily Roll was so so good & accompanied by an amazing pickled coleslaw, kettle chips and crisp pickle spear. A very quaint little place AND nice ambiance. Can't wait to bring my friends here! read more

This place used to be stellar. It was like a small French snug-in, where you just wanted to stay. Then you wanted to return. But it changed owners. It changed in other ways, too, and not for the better. My wife and I were recently there. We had been going there for years. The seats at the table we chose were full of food scraps. I asked the lady that waited on us to clean the chair next to me because it was disgusting to have to look at the mess. She said, "sure, I'll do that for 'you.'" For me? It should have been for her job, or for the success of the business. Rather, I should never have had to ask. The customer should never have to ask for seats to be cleaned of food. Anyway, she never cleaned the seat. I did, however, succeed in getting another wait person to help. Apart from the lack of cleanliness, my wife says the quiche was good. But the "home fries" we both ordered were limp, as if the air went out of the things. Awful. And the crabcake sandwich I ordered came without a top to its bun. A return trip is not in the offing. read more

I had the waffles they were very dense. The maple syrup was adequate. The space is rather cold and uninviting

My sweet wife treated me for lunch here today and picked up the California melt, which was tasty (love that it was open-faced too), the lobster bisque which is nice and buttery, but not too rich, and the good-tasting raspberry-lemon cake. I greatly appreciated the care taken in properly preparing my food for pick-up too. Maybe I got lucky today, but I have no complaints. Thx Midland Bistro. read more

Today I'm giving them 2 stars. Over the past months I feel that the staff and food have become complacent. I used to look forward to coming here but it doesn't seem to be anything special anymore. They are open until 2 on Saturday but change the menu at 1130 so you can't get eggs Benedict or brunch. So I stayed & settled on BLT... it was so boring! The concept of "toasted" is lost on the cook and she tried 2x but. come on now... toasted bread is brown not white. Just bc u put it IN the toaster doesn't mean it's toasted! The bread was thicker than what was on the sandwich so I'm really disappointed..... I'll try one more time after this visit but they are 2 for 2 and if this is the new norm, I'll just keep it moving. read more

This was our first visit. The food was absolutely delicious and the wait staff were simply a joy. Looking forward to our next visit.

Such a quaint hidden gem! Lucked out and got to go as a girl's date with my mom and we absolutely loved the crab cakes, the lemon blueberry waffle was sinfully delicious and the homemade quiche was spot on! Super yummy and we will definitely be back. Thanks for such a lovey morning. read more

We were unsure of where to have breakfast in Pinehurst so I consulted Yelp. Appears as though there is not an abundance of Yelp action in this area so I just had to jump in. I picked Midland Bistro and could not have made a better choice. This is an adorable little restaurant with great food and a wonderful staff. The table ordered the a couple of chicken & waffles with spicy honey ($10.00), a breakfast sandwich with sausage ($8.50), blueberry & lemon waffle with sausage ($11.50) and a Croque sandwich ($8.50.) Every dish was perfectly prepared and taste great. read more

Had the banana waffle. It was fantastic! Workers were very polite and attentive. Cute little place will stop again and try lunch.

OMG, I love this place. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious. I drive all the way from Durham for the lobster bisque. The prime dip is sublime, and the California melt is delicious. Give them a try! read more

What a cute little spot tucked away in Pinehurst. Lots of fun menu options, everything was super fresh and delicious. I was visiting out of town, and was happy to try a small business in NC. During times like these, that's what we should be doing. I had the Lobster Benedict and it was UHMAZING. if you're in the area, swing by you won't be disappointed. read more

This is the worst experience we have had since we have been in Pinehurst. We waited for almost an hour for our food and only ordered two waffles and a quiche. The quiche came out cold! It wasn't even that busy and my son was starving after his golf tournament. Do NOT come here unless you have at least two hours to kill read more
