“ I ate here many times when I was hiking in the NEK, and it was excellent every single time. Great ambiance and the staff really make you feel welcome. I had their smash burger, burger special (bacon jam), Korean bbq wings, cheese curds, and packa bowl. It was all amazing, I recommend everything I had. I had no idea crispy chick peas were missing from my life, they were SO tasty and addictive. Great local beer selection. The glamping on property looks really nice and relaxing (not sure if it’s connected to the bistro). They are pet friendly which is awesome. ”

“ I ate dinner here two nights in a row while staying in Greensboro for a weekend trip to Hill Farmstead. Cocktails & food were excellent. I really enjoyed the tofu/veggie/pesto sandwich the first night. The second night I had the soup of the day which was potato leek and the house salad with tofu on it- also delicious. The atmosphere was great and service was perfect. 100% recommend. ”
