Editorial Review for Carolina Brewery – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The brick front opens to a bi-level space packed with a post-college workforce on break. Behind the ample bar, large brewing tanks dominate the landscape. Early evenings are quieter, with a clientele geared more to the food than the tap. The menu is ambitious for a brew pub, ranging from quesadillas to sesame-encrusted tuna and fish-and-chips. Salads, burgers and pizzas are a cut above average. The brews change seasonally; count on a broad spectrum.

Yeah well this was my first time in Chapel Hill from Wilson and I wanted to see what this place had to offer visiting some friends up here. They said we should just take a walk and we stumbled in this Brewery of all things on Franklin St. So I thought it was a joke or something at first so I walked in and well wouldnt you know they had some some good stuff. I am a Bears fan and the bartender was too, Nate I believe was his name and he was just on the ball. So we thought well this place seems nice enough might as well get some food. Got a table downstairs and had this guy who was really sharp. I cant remember his name but he had blonde or brown hair and average size guy. Really friendly too, I have never had a waiter just talk so freely to us. He knew his thing about beer. Got me this Copperline beer, man was it good. The food was good too, now in all fairness my fries were cold as a fish. But this guy talked to the cook or someone a got me a brand new batch. Now I am happy as long as someone is working to help me out and this place really shone. Wasnt expecting it. I think this is going to be our hang out when I come up here to visit my friends from high school. Go up , the Brewery, watch some games and get some beer. Even the manager was coming around and saying hi, really nice lady named Kristy or something. I am definitely come back here.
Pros: This place just had great beer and Service
Cons: Parking

10/07/07 First time at the Chapel Hill location on a hot Sunday afternoon. Bartender was very nice, informative and helpful with beer selections. Beer was great. Thought ...ok lets try some lunch. We had a waiter named Daniel. He was very bland and unsmiling. I ordered my Cheese Steak, I asked for onion rings instead of fries. He simply said No can't do that. My friend inquired about the chicken quesadea, he asked if they would make it with no onions...again Daniel said NO and something else we could not understand as he was mumbling. I finally said I guess we have to get whatever he gives us and he walked away. While waiting for the food there was no checking on how things were ...drinks...nothing. When the food arrived it was cold and greasy. My friend and I traded our dinners midway in hopes of something better. It was not. When Daniel FINALLY came to give us the check he asked how things were, I stated that things were not fine, the food was cold and he had absolute no customer service abilities. He went to management and they came over to the table. They came over and stated that I should not berate the waiter but instead I should have told them. I did not berate I simply told it like it was. He asked. They said nothing else and walked away. Boy, that sure did help and make me WANT to go back.....NOT!
