Pimiento Tea Room

The menu will intrigue you especially if you're a fan of new nostalgia, all the twists are surprising but sound well thought out. The Grandma's Plate app really hit the spot and I loved the cute little cracker caddy... Adorable! 😄 Can't wait to work my way through the menu. I was curious about The Widow Nichols cocktail and the bartender was kind enough to share the backstory, little details like that give you an idea of how much passion and care has gone into a place. The aesthetic is reflective of the modern small town magic vibe that is Holly Springs. Glad to be in walking distance and can't wait to come back with friends and fam!

Adorable place! Loved the clever design, fun art. I just wasn't fond of the chips in a bag on a plate vibe- I honestly believe they are better than that. 5 stars if they just placed chips in a cute little bowl on the plate.

This review is mainly for the Sunday funday. Overall it was really good. The tiered food tray was presented really and the food was honestly tasty. There were a couple of items that may be more of an acquired taste for some or just matter of preference, but I wouldn’t expect everything to be everyone’s favorite (such as lemon curd on chicken salad). The scones are pretty good and I think could be even better if they’re made to be more like British scones. The service was as expected for an afternoon tea style meal. However, I would say our server could’ve been quicker with coming to take our order for drinks (10+ minutes). FYI - they do automatically charge 20% gratuity. I would expect this to be more in line with other places that charge 10-15% gratuity given it’s a fixed menu and they’re not doing anything else other than bringing drinks and a fixed menu tray out to you. Overall it was pretty good! Price is in line with other afternoon tea style restaurants. For a similar price though, I would have to recommend the Fairview Inn’s afternoon tea over Pimiento room.

Absolutely amazing, can’t wait to go back! We got the shrimp and grits, risotto, and grandmas sampler. We loved every single thing, and the cocktails were great too. Lots of different foods all with a southern flair. Already planning when to go back!

Pimento Tea Room is a truly delicious, unique gem in downtown Holly Springs. I absolutely love the atmosphere here—the decorations are so cool and eclectic, and having the choice between the indoor and outdoor seating options makes it perfect for any day. On my last visit, we sat at the bar and had the most delightful conversation with the bartender. It was so fun learning more about what makes this place so special. The service is consistently top-notch; the staff is attentive and the timing is perfect. You never have to wait too long for your food, but you’re given enough space to really relax and enjoy the company you’re with. The food and drinks are simply amazing. I love that the menu changes seasonally, which keeps things exciting. I’ve tried dishes here that I never thought I would like, only for them to become some of my absolute favorites! Everything is unique, high-quality, and leaves you wanting more. If you are looking for a spot with personality, incredible flavors, and a welcoming vibe, this is it!
