How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Southern
The News & Observer and INDY Week include Acme Food & Beverage Co. in Carrboro dining coverage. The long-running Main Street restaurant applies a seasonal, farm-conscious approach to Southern comfort food without losing the format's generosity. Pair a changing entree with a vegetable side, or use the fried chicken when it appears as the table's anchor.
Picks from The News & Observer, INDY Week, and Raleigh Magazine
- Fried Chicken
Acme treats fried chicken as part of a broader Southern menu rooted in Carrboro. The kitchen gives the bird a well seasoned crust, then surrounds it with careful vegetables, biscuits, and sauces that change with the season. A shaded patio and comfortable dining room make it as useful for a casual supper as for a lingering weekend meal.
