“Sacred Ground for Southern Foodies.”

Our Legacy
Crook’s Corner is a James Beard Foundation America’s Classic restaurant featuring fresh, seasonally-focused Southern cuisine. From pimento cheese to duck cassoulet, Crook’s Corner continues to celebrate and reimagine the food of the South.
It’s all about the food, but more about the people.
Occupying a former fish market at the intersection of Chapel Hill and Carrboro, Crook’s Corner has been a beloved gathering place for locals and out-of-towners for over 30 years. Come by to meet friends for dinner, or enjoy brunch on the patio.
An American classic. A neighborhood favorite.
Our menu changes often and features dishes inspired by the seasons with carefully sourced ingredients. But never fear — iconic Crook’s dishes like Shrimp & Grits will always be served.
