"We had a recent brunch visit with Carolina Crossroads Restaurant and it was a good experience. It would have been nice since it's our first time to have been offered a place to sit rather than just be escorted to a table. I was not sure if other tables are booked, but it would have been a perfect experience if if were offered to have some choices on where we would like to be sitted.
The variety of food choices are very good. My favorite is - old-style American bread pudding!!!
Other than - it was very good and we will come back!"

"I took my mother here for her birthday and we were treated to a delicious meal from start to finish. The staff/server was professional and knowledgeable . Both our meals were wonderful, including the scrumptious desserts. I would recommend Crossroads to anyone looking for impeccable food and service."

"This is my family's favorite place to celebrate a birthday or other significant event; also the place we like to take out-of-town visitors. On this recent visit I took a friend visiting from Washington state. She had never been to NC before and greatly enjoyed the southern ambiance of the Inn. She had never had friend green tomatoes or sweet potato fries before--tried them both and loved them."

"What an amazing experience. First, the Carolina Inn is gorgeous, the epitome of Southern Charm. And Carolina Crossroads itself, equally amazing. The dining room is small and intimate, but liked that the tables were far enough apart to provide a sense of privacy. The service was perfect. Attentive, friendly but not overbearing. The food, absolutely fabulous. Between my husband and myself, we had the Yellow Pepper Bisque, Romaine Salad, Eggplant and Goat Cheese Agnolotti and a special Vegetable Plate prepared by the chef. All were perfection. We also shared the Red Velvet Cream Cheese Mousse Dome which was surprising light and a perfect way to end the meal. Can't say enough about Carolina Crossroads, we'll definitely be back!"

"Crossroads is one of our favorite restaurants. We drive over 2 hours each time we dine there. Our menu selections were a variety of flavors and textures that surprised and satisfied with each bite. Each presentation was creatively displayed. The service of the waiters was classy and professional. The ambience of the restaurant supports and enhances the elegant Southern dining experience."

"Friends and I went to brunch to celebrate our last Sunday before moving. Carolina Crossroads is definitely worth the price for the all you can eat brunch. They have amazing breakfast options like an omelet bar, fresh fruit, waffles as well as delicious lunch items. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a special brunch place!"

"It has a air of old Southern Elegance and dining there makes you feel like you've stepped back in time in terms of both the ambiance and the food. The menu is a little un-inspired, but the food is good and the service is excellent."

"The buffet offers a nice selection of food (meats, vegetables, salads, and even desserts)!
The desserts need to be changed daily though -- I went there both today and yesterday. Although the flourless chocolate and pistachio cheesecakes were good, I'd wish to have something different if I'm eating there back to back.
Some of the waiters and waitresses are really NOT very polished or well trained -- a bit rough. But, they're nice in general. Nevertheless, I think Crossroad should really train their waiters & waitress better in terms of their mannerism and how they
handle customers, etc.

"Beautiful setting in an old, quaint Inn, in the heart of the UNC campus. Food and service were spot on; I especially loved the tenderloin, so tender you could cut it with a butter knife! Fantastic, unobtrusive service. Small but sufficient wine list. Take a walk around the Inn before or after your meal and enjoy the beauty and history of this special place!"

"Carolina Crossroads Restaurant offers a lovely lunch setting for a special occasion. Especially appreciated is the beautiful, traditional decor and the professional wait staff. This is the place for a leisurely lunch where you can have a long chat and really visit. The waiters are professional, and they have very nice manners; however, it is notable that their service is not quite as good when one decides to eat the lunch buffet (as opposed to eating off the menu). The food tastes good, and looks good, but by today's dining standards, can be ranked in quality closer to traditional hotel banquet food rather than as gourmet dining. This restaurant's strength is its setting and atmosphere, which is why I gave it five stars for ambiance."

"I have been here a few times for special occasions and we visited for my husband's birthday. The food ranks with the best of any restaurant I have visited ANYWHERE! It is expensive but not outrageous. We shared the lamb terrine and butternut bisque as starters and my husband had the beef tenderloin as an entree. I had an appetizer portion of shrimp and grits and the asparagus salad as an entree. We shared two desserts--the panna cotta and the bread pudding. Delicious and portions that were filling but didn't leave us stuffed. The service was attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant."

"Just had a perfect evening at Carolina Inn. Best mojitos in their bar. Tastefully decorated dining room using Carolina blue which also has a nice colonial feel to it, tables less crowded than anywhere else, quiet (we had our own corner, almost an alcove - ask for table 62), very sophisticated dishes and presentation, experienced wait staff (ours was from Morocco), no rushing (we were there 3 hours), amuse bouche gratis. Recommend fried oysters, scallop appetizers, quail and pork cheek entrees, but trout was too dry. Very good experience last year or two, better than it used to be."

"The food was spectacular! The ambience was perfect for a special occasion or date. We went to celebrate a birthday, and the staff were very courteous and even gave us a free dessert with a candle for my husband. The food was delicious and the server's suggestions on what to try were spot on. I would highly recommend the fried oysters and the NewYork strip steak. Also loved the squash ravioli, which is the perfect size to split as an appetizer. The desserts were divine!"

"This was our second visit this year to Carolina Crossroads. We had 2 entrees, no appetizers or desserts. The filet steak was as good as it gets and the stuffed chicken was excellent. Portions were a bit small for big eaters, but we found it enough for us. If you have a large appetite , I advise a two or three course dinner. The service was professional and impeccable. We were given a complimentary taste of a starter to begin the meal and a complimentary chocolate truffle to end the meal."

"This was our 2nd visit to Carolina Crossroads - the first being for dinner, and this trip was for lunch. We chose to celebrate a birthday here for our son turning 13. The menu is delightfully eclectic, with wide-variety of choices. From shrimp & grits - superb! - to chicken pot pie, with a crust of homemade biscuits. The service is excellent. Friendly. Helpful. Special dessert plate acknowledging the birthday. Complimentary coffee drinks (a surprise). Love this spot and will return!"

"This was my first time, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My daughter came home for a visit and it was the perfect place to reconnect.
My steak was overcooked but the manager had them make me another one and it was spot on."

"Don't order a steak. I ended up with half my steak left half-chewed on the plate. There was so much that the busboy thought I wanted it boxed. It was so gristly that I almost choked a couple times. I should have sent it back but kept thinking that the next piece wouldn't be so bad. It got worse.
My wife loved her trout and we shared a nice shrimp & grits app."
