Best Southern American Restaurants in Carrboro

Lunch was great and the service was friendly and helpful.

We have been to the Mandolin a few times now. Every time we walk in we walk into a very inviting space. The food is wonderful and thoughtful. Don’t forget to get some cornbread!

We celebrated a birthday and lovely ambiance with delicious food. Menu options were good - each one of us had a different dinner choice with perfect pairings of vegetable and starch - and were delighted to be able to add a glob of that lucious goat cheese on request! Well done, servers and kitchen. Our reservations were spot on time, no rush for us to spend time together and yet, food was quickly served on order.

Shrimp & grits was outstanding as usual. All of our entrees and our one app were great! Overall, very happy with creativity & execution of the menu.

Had reservation but ended up sitting in bar area high top where it was louder than normal due to some baseball fans really into the game. We liked the Octoberfest specials: good beer and the roasted apple kraut was outstanding. Overall was fine but would have preferred to have been seated at a regular table upstairs especially now that reservations are more or less required if you don't want to wait an hour on the weekend.
