Freeman’s Grub & Pub in Greensboro Under New Ownership | Eater Carolinas

"A neighborly, family-run pub the Purcells have returned to operate, Freeman’s Grub & Pub feels like a community hub and remains most known for its sandwiches — from the slow-smoked chopped brisket with pimento cheese and blackberry barbecue sauce to the Cuban, which uses country ham for a saltier, more Southern twist; Kevin’s favorite, the hand-breaded chicken strips with cornflakes in the breading, will also stay on the menu. I note that the core menu of approachable items (jalapeño poppers, a Caesar salad, a grilled chicken BLT) is being preserved even as the pub was among the first in town to add updated favorites like street corn and banh mi. Having helped open Freeman’s in 2015 and returned to live in the apartment above the restaurant, the Purcells are committed to keeping the small-space, neighborhood atmosphere intact, treating the business like family, and protecting staff well-being by prioritizing open, honest communication and adding a downstairs breakroom." - Eric Ginsburg
