Our server Teagan was great as usual. Friendly and quick service. We love the Oktoberfest menu and the fried chicken Wednesday. Love the pretzel and cheese dip.

Easy to reserve an outdoor table through website using open table. A reservation sign placed on table to ensure availability. Ambience in outside seating area terrific. Waitresses work hard and are efficient. Beer excellent and reasonably priced. Food, while not gourmet is very good and reasonably priced. There are “healthy” food choices. Bonus is live music (at least on Saturdays) that begins at 5:30pm, earlier than most , if not all, other restaurants. However, music is a bit too loud. Overall experience excellent to outstanding. Highly recommended

Went here for lunch because we’ve heard great things about it. I ordered burrito bowl and my fiancé ordered shrimp and grits. She asked for no mushrooms and it came with mushrooms. We let our server know and waited for the correct plate. The corrected plate was rushed. Shrimp batter was soggy cheese was just thrown on and not melted and was very bland. Our server got the manager and asked if we wanted another plate. My fiance asked for the menu to see what else she wanted and it just seemed we were forgotten about. I had to find our server to flag her down to place the order. My fiance ordered the fish tacos which were good, but we were told by the manager that she would discount her food since we had to wait so long. When we received the check the manager took $3.99 off our order. We explained to our server we hate to complain about food and bills since we’ve both have managed restaurants and the server had to sneakily get my fiances food comped. We spent an hour and a half here most of which was waiting on the correct food to come out. I would like to believe our experience was a rare occurrence for carolina brewery and would be willing to try again but we were not pleased with this visit.

Carolina Brewery Pittsboro is a great establishment. All the wait staff and managers are friendly and helpful. The food variety and there is something for everyone whether they are looking for street tacos, vegetarian, fish, chicken or burgers. I am a pescatarian and the lemon garlic butter salmon is exceptionally good. It was cooked exactly as requested. My friends who drink beer always find something they enjoy. I tried the Josh Cellars Cabernet; it was good and reasonably priced. All in all hard to beat the Carolina Brewery Pittsboro. They are a neighborhood gem; they even draw from Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, Raleigh and beyond.
