I was very excited to patronize this eatery due to the aromatic aroma of the fried chicken. I was disappointed by the chicken being very salty, mac and cheese was ok, mashed potatoes and gravy, the cabbage, and the lemonade were the best parts. Maybe the time of day matters. I’ll try earlier to see if there is a difference. The cookie and ice cream dessert was good. Would have liked more pecans.

This place is a gem! Delicious!!!
I stopped by on a Saturday morning and it was nice and quiet—only a few other people were there. I ordered the fried chicken, cabbage, and mac n cheese, and every bite was southern-style perfection. Also, if you like Bojangles sweet tea, you’ll love it here!

Get one of those square biscuits and the cinnamon roll! Must try! The biscuit was buttery and melt in your mouth and cinnamon roll had perfect amount of icing.

It is like a diner inside and has an old school feel. The location is perfect—right on Franklin Street and super convenient if you’re out hitting the shops. Definitely give them a try!

I am visiting from another state, tried this place on Sunday, 1 March at around 1 p.m. They did not make a good first impression. I ordered the fried chicken, potato salad, and collard greens. The food was ok, but I have had better. The person serving my food was friendly–reason for the 2 stars, otherwise it would have been 1 star. The older white lady working the cash register was not friendly–not even a “how are you doing”? or “thank you”–no smile like she hated being there. If you don’t like your job and not good at customer service, do something else. The place was not even busy–only 2 other customers. And to pay .79 for a cup of water is ridiculous. Would not return

Stopped by this 24-hour diner for a quick bite and left with mixed impressions but a full stomach.

The honey biscuit was a bit too much on the sweet side—drenched in honey to the point where I couldn’t really taste the biscuit itself. A lighter touch would go a long way. On the other hand, the chicken cheese biscuit sandwich featured a generous, juicy piece of chicken, though it was slightly over-salted for my taste.

Service was excellent—the worker was both friendly and informative, and my order came out fast. You really can’t beat the prices here, especially with the size of the portions and the fact that it’s open 24/7.

The menu is huge, and I’m already planning my next visit. Looking forward to trying a plain biscuit to really get a sense of the flavor, and I’ve got my eye on a cinnamon roll too.

Found this gem of a restaurant on a humbug. Chicken taste like the colonel’s on steroid. Green beans slightly greasy like grandma’s, Mac & cheese is immaculate. 3 people ordered just that alone. Ask for a chicken sandwich. Y’all get a bone-in fillet on bread of choice..

Go for the biscuits, but stay for the pie!While staying in western NC a few weeks ago we planned a day trip out to Chapel Hill just to visit Time-Out after hearing such amazing things. Let me tell you that the 4ish hour drive was 1000000% worth it!!! The chicken biscuit was unlike any other, the flavor was OUTSTANDING and it was huge. From what I understand, they fry the chicken on the bone then remove the bone to make the biscuit sandwich. This absolutely makes a difference in taste. It doesnt just taste like chicken on a biscuit, it has that delicious fresh fried chicken taste. We ordered our food as takeout so we could eat in the car with our pup and when we got to the pecan pie…I took a bite and cried tears of joy…it was AMAZING. I IMMEDIATELY went inside to get more for the road (and some cinnamon rolls which were also very delicious). The owner is unbelievably nice and couldn’t believe we drove all the way just to try the food, his reaction made my day. I have been in the food service industry my whole life and meeting people like him just makes a great restaurant even better. I cannot say enough about how happy we were with our visit. Time-Out was definitely a highlight of our vacation and I cannot wait to come back…next time I plan on ordering a pecan pie (or two) in advance.

Everything was wonderful!
The pulled pork didn’t even need any extra sauce. It was seasoned perfectly!

Southern food 24/7 that is delicious and well priced?! Give it a try. This place hit the spot for me. Best collard greens I’ve had in a long time. Carolina BBQ, black eyed peas, biscuit, iced sweet and very kind service made for an excellent meal. Can’t wait to come back and try the many other tasty looking foods.

My family is here out of town and everything I researched said to eat here and so we did. We tried the famous Chicken n’ Cheddar biscuit, mac and cheese, fried okra, cinnamon roll, and sweet potato pie.

The sandwich overall was a bit dry, but still delicious. The biscuit alone was so amazing. The mac and cheese was nothing special, I’ve had better but I’ve had worse. We had never tried fried okra but it was delicious too. The cinnamon roll was great, as was the pie.

I was really excited to see that they had Cherrywine on their beverage list as that was something we wanted to try. It’s so good and very unique.

Overall, this was a nice and inexpensive stop to try local foods!
