The City Tap — Restaurant in Pittsboro

In the interesting town of Pittsboro today to try one of 2 restaurants. Virlie’s, and City Tap. Heard about steak night at Virlie’s but that’s on Friday night and they were closed for the holidays so across the street to City Tap as they were just opening for lunch. Inside dinning was open for around 6 tables, and the bar. They also have a huge covered outdoor area so getting a table shouldn’t be a problem. Order drinks, and your food at the bar, then pick your seating. Only 2 were working the bar/kitchen area, but service was fast even though we were behind 5 groups catching opening time. I had the tuna melt, the wife had an Italian sub that’s her vessel of choice to compare restaurants. Both served with chips or bean salad. My tuna was definitely not the canned variety. Tastes of fresh tuna steak, with a touch of onions and supper melty white cheese that passed the stretch test. The Italian was a cold sub, dressed well with all the Italian meats, red onions and lettuce, and the classic dressing to make it Italian. She liked the crusty hoagie, but prefers a toasted Italian so this didn’t make her favorite. Great beer on tap and wonderful service. If I didn’t live an hour away I’d be a regular. Give them a try and ask to add a fryer for some fries and onion rings...

My husband and I enjoyed lunch. You start inside and order at the bar. They ask if you will sit inside or out and give you a number for your table. We chose to sit outside. Area is covered and very spacious with a high ceiling. Big ceiling fans create nice air flow. Our order was brought within 10 minutes. We had the spinach dip which was yummy and came with pita, tortilla chips, carrots and celery. Great if you have GF individual. We also had a tofu salad with ginger dressing. You can either have the tofu on a salad or sandwich. We chose the salad. Service was great. We look forward to coming back and next time want to try the grilled brownie dessert. There is a city parking lot across the street or parking...

My goodness what a fantastic place! We stopped in pretty late after an event at The Plant (many many others had the same idea apparently 🤣) aaand these gals were crushing it! I couldn't tell they were "stretched thin" at all and we witnessed teamwork, accuracy and best of all them having fun! I can't say how much the whole team impressed us and ESPECIALLY the food, we each got a hot and a cold turkey sandwich and couldn't decide which was better we kept switching plates and fought over the last crumb 🤣 Everything (even the sides) was so fresh and so flavorful, especially right before the kitchen closes, just amazing! We can't wait to go back!! Thank you...
