I have heard about this place for years and finally got to visit on my birthday. Reservations for that Sunday morning were full so we got there a few minutes before they opened. We were first in line and the hostess found my party a table right away. The menu had a Millermosa, which I had never heard of. Great way to start your day. Every list of great shrimp and grits dishes list Crooks Corner as the best. Believe all of the reviews. Also the Eggs Benedict are on point. Every member of the staff was helpful and smiling. As we were leaving each staff member said good bye and wished us a great day. Will not wait years more to visit again.

Only had the hush puppies and Mac & Cheese and they were good. A snowstorm caused a lot of items to be unavailable. Seemed like a good atmosphere We would go back.

A classic institution in Chapel Hill for seasonally Southern food. Some really nice classic Southern preparations as well as some tweaks including a cracker plate with homemade pimento cheese, jalapeno cheese hushpuppies, and spicy Mac and cheese. They also have hoppin' John, collard greens, cornbread, and banana pudding with meringue topping. I had fried sea sea trout with diced vegetables which was terrific and fresh persimmon (NC persimmons not Asian) pudding with whipped cream which were quite tasty. Portions are not only generous, but Southern (read as huge). Lots of nearby parking if you follow the directions on their website. Also one of the only restaurants open Sunday nights.

Eating at Crook's is always a pleasure. Their brunch menu is my favorite. They have a limited amount of French toast, so get there early.

our second visit and food and service were mediocre. there are better restaurants for both. atmosphere was casual, comfortable, and eclectic. the strangest part of the experience was an opossum that crawled around the restaurant water fountain, bamboo plants, and fence on perimeter. some tables were disgusted by a rodent in the restaurant and according to our server, the animal has been a nuisance for quite some time. won't be back.
