White Sauce Grill & Bar — Restaurant in Chapel Hill

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ White Sauce Bar & Grill on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, NC is an absolute gem! This certified halal restaurant offers an unbeatable combination of flavor, value, and hospitality. I had the chicken and gyro over fries, and it was absolutely delicious! Fully packed with bold, savory flavor and generous serving size.

The signature sauces — seriously next level. Perfectly balanced and full of flavor, they take the entire meal up a notch!

Service was fast and efficient, and the staff was incredibly friendly. One of the local owners even stopped by to chat — turns out he grew up here and went to Carrboro High School. It's clear this place is a labor of love, bringing something fresh and authentic to the Chapel Hill and Franklin street food scene. The owners bring a diverse background from automotive, IT project management, and food trucks, and it shows in the quality, customer service, organization, and flavor of everything they serve.

Whether you're a UNC student, a local, or just visiting downtown Chapel Hill, White Sauce Bar & Grill is a must-visit. Can’t wait...

I’m originally from Philadelphia and if you know anything about Philadelphia is that we have halal trucks pretty much everywhere. I saw this place while on a walk and made a mental note to give it a try. We went there today and got takeout. We placed an order for two chickens over rice plus an order of fries. We got home and saw that we received the chicken over rice orders but instead of fries, received a pita salad? That was disappointing since we confirmed the order multiple times. The chicken over rice rice was really good ( dare I say comparable to the ones in Philadelphia which is a huge compliment!). Took off one star due to the missing fries.

Edit: the response from the owner was really unexpected and I really appreciated the amazing customer service. The fries were absolutely amazing (coming from someone who is very picky about fries). Would definitely recommend for the amazing food and even better...

The two guys we saw when we arrived were super polite and welcoming. I placed my order, and one of them asked how I liked it—mild or medium—and even offered to put the hot sauce on the side, which I really appreciated. He also let me know the wait time would be about 10–15 minutes.

When we came back to pick it up, the chef himself greeted me and my boyfriend. He introduced himself and told us that he personally created everything on the menu. We chatted a bit, and he mentioned that they had just opened. I told him that was amazing and said I’d definitely be leaving a review—just for the service alone.

Now that I’ve tried the food, I can honestly say it’s incredible. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try something new. The prices are super affordable, and they pack every container to the brim....
