Don’t miss this place if you love bacon. The BLT sandwich is superb. And the long line to get it is worth waiting for. Plus everybody is very nice while they’re waiting. The outdoor sitting area is quiet and peaceful and beautifully arranged.

Wow! Received a few recommendations for this place and we were not let down. Super friendly service, plenty of parking - although it was very busy, for good reason! The BLT’s are excellent, like seriously good, you have to have one! Banana pudding and pasta salad were also incredible. Oh and really good sweet tea! We will be back!

They say it’s the “Best BLT in the Carolinas” and while that may be true; I’m gonna add best BURGER in the Carolinas too; perhaps even the best I’ve ever had. What a great spot! The food, service and atmosphere are all top notch. The employees are friendly and welcoming. The parking can be a little tricky but it’s definitely worth the extra trouble (not even that much) if your timing puts you there when it’s insanely busy. Try it; you will like it.

Quick, Fresh, and Dog-Friendly! Whether you’re visiting the hospital, on campus, or just passing through, Merritt’s is a must-stop. My wife is a long-time fan of their famous BLT, but as a first-timer, I went for the chicken salad and banana pudding—both were excellent. What stood out: • The Flavor: Everything was perfectly balanced. Often these staples can be too salty or sugary, but these were spot on. • The Speed: Even at the peak of the lunch rush, our food was ready in minutes. • The Atmosphere: Plenty of outdoor seating, which was perfect since we had the pups with us. • Parking: We found a spot right behind the building, but there’s additional parking across the street if it's packed. Pro Tip: If you're hungry, the serving sizes are generous. Definitely worth the stop!

First time eating inside at Merritt's and it was amazing! The famous BLT is everything they said it would be, so I ordered the triple. It's not so big in the picture but it's so good and packed with fresh ingredients. The sourdough bread makes the sandwich taste better in my opinion. Even if mom use to make them with white bread, and you know mom's was always good but not like this. The breakfast sandwiches were also cooked to perfection and the atmosphere just topped everything off. Merritt's is a must dining experience whenever in Chapel Hill!
