Erin’s Local Pinehurst Guide
My Favorite Lunch & Dinner Spots
This local favorite serves farm-to-table fare, and all the farms are local to North Carolina! Some dishes are so popular they haven’t changed in 20+ years - try the salmon! There’s also a nice garden/patio/fire pit outside - great spot for a drink. Make sure you book a reservation ahead of time, as this place is very popular.

Drum & Quill
40 Chinquapin RdGreat local pub, extensive drink selection, and delicious food!
This place is such a little gem. Fancier than your average lunch/dinner spot in Southern Pines, but the drinks and delicious food are totally worth the price. If it’s a nice day, enjoy the outdoor screened-in patio!

Stroll through the quaint and historic Village of Pinehurst. There are three small streets (very walkable) with restaurants, shops, ice cream, bars - it’s a small town but you can find everything you’re looking for in one spot! Check out the Pinehurst Olive Oil Company or have lunch at the historic Holly Inn hotel. Charming!
