How are you gonna refuse to let a whole adult with a 401k in because you don't feel like verifying a verifiable ID :/ the group after me asked why, and apparently "the edges were peeling", so they showed their peeling IDs and said "well we definitely won't get in then" BUT THEY DID :/ Bless their hearts, they tried to say something, but she just got angrier and snapped at me to have a good night in a way which suggested that she very much did NOT want me to have a good night. My siblings flew out from Philly and NYC for one night together, so needless to say this was a damper, but apparently not uncommon -- you'd think a place with that reputation would have a little employee oversight :/

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.

My husband and I went on a late Saturday afternoon and we were seated immediately. We shared the Fido's Fries as an appetizer and I got the Chili Cheese Dogs as my entree. Almost everything could be made veggie or vegan so I asked for the dogs to be veggie. My meal also came with a side so I got the frickles (fried pickles). The Fido's Fries were beer battered fries, topped with cheese, bacon (we got the pork option but they have soy), scallions, & sour cream (on the side). The fries were absolutely delicious! I loved my chili cheese dogs as well. It was a very generous portion because it was two dogs and a ton of frickles. As a dog lover, I adored all of the dog art & statues around the place. The menu is even dog themed. I mean they call appetizers kibbles & bits. That could not be any cuter! There is indoor seating (with a bar) and outdoor seating. As you can probably already tell, the restaurant is dog friendly (with their outdoor area). They even have a dog friendly menu (called puppy meals). Service was superb! There is no dedicated parking lot but we easily found free parking a few blocks away. My mom is a vegan and we sometimes struggles to find creative meals when she visits. I will definitely be taking her here next!

Unfortunately, when we returned the bar was quite full and very much focused on the UNC basketball game, so we pulled up to the stools along the window and ordered our drinks. Although room is tight, it was a comfortable and friendly environment, they even had an extensive selection of games, to include many board games. The bartender was an absolute sweetheart and didn't skip a beat. We finally saw a vacancy at the bar continued drinks from there.

The peal and eat shrimp tasted really good with a little lemon squeezed on them and i believe their cocktail sauce is homemade. My boyfriend's wings were really good and the fries were my favorite.

Offering a refined escape from the college bar scene that dominates Franklin Street, The Crunkleton blends a superb selection of top-shelf liquors with expert mixologists, friendly service and a dapper decor you won't want to leave. Wait times at the bar can be long at peak hours, and there's a sizeable crowd almost every night of the week. But find a spot at the bar or in one of the comfortable leather booths along the wall, order a classic Old Fashioned or Bourbon Bramble, and settle in to enjoy one of the best cocktails around. A Chapel Hill institution, the Crunkleton is worth a drive from anywhere in the Triangle, and a must for anyone visiting this fantastic college town.

To go with it, I had the Lavender Collins, which was light, floral, and the perfect cocktail for easing into the weekend. Between the friendly staff, the quick seating on a busy night, and the delicious food and drinks, Top of the Hill delivered exactly the kind of experience you hope for in Chapel Hill.
