Merritt’s: The best sandwich in Chapel Hill

Merritt's

This small restaurant packs a punch. 

Located right off of South Columbia Street, Merritt’s Grill is consistently packed, especially when the weather is nice, with patrons looking for its delicious, famous BLTs. And it’s that thick, tasty bacon that pushed Merritt’s into the top reader-voted spot for best sandwich in Chapel Hill.

On summer days right around lunchtime, people are lined up out the door, waiting to order their sandwich. If this isn’t a sign about how tasty Merritt’s food is, we don’t know what else is. 

The fast and friendly service ensures that you get the sandwich of your dreams in no time. Grab some chips and a drink and take a seat, or take it to go to eat in the Quad or the Pit for people-watching. 

Merritt’s Grill is a great place to bring friends and family who are visiting from out of town to give them a taste of Chapel Hill.
