"Come for the views, stay for the brunch. Weekends at Wye Hill see diners digging into plates of sweet potato hash (fried eggs, chorizo, chipotle crema, avocado, and tortilla strips) and shrimp and grits (with jumbo shrimp, beer, cheese grits, fried egg, and more). That plus an impressive brunch burger, plenty of salads and small plates (fried Brussels with fromage blanc and everything bagel seasoning anyone?), a seasonal mimosa flight, and of course, Wye Hill’s own beers, make this one of the most hoppin’ spots for brunch in Raleigh." - Matt Lardie
"Wye Hill might have "Brewing" in the name, but this place feels more like a restaurant than anything else. You’ll find dishes like a hearty shakshuka with focaccia at brunch and a burger with fried green tomatoes and smoked gouda for dinner. The restaurant’s airy patio looking east across Raleigh’s skyline is perfect for a romantic dinner, a breezy brunch, or for just sitting outside and day drinking." - eric ginsburg

"Panoramic views of downtown Raleigh coupled with craft beer, innovative cocktails, and menu items like brewhouse mussels, a Southern saltimbocca with cheese grits, and a taco wedge salad with avocado-cilantro mousse easily qualify Wye Hill as one of the newest entries to the list of iconic Raleigh restaurants. The couple behind Wye Hill, Sara Abernethy and Chris Borreson, rescued the former Boylan Bridge Brewpub space after torrential rains caused structural damage that led to the building being condemned, meaning patrons can once again enjoy one of the best urban cityscapes in the entire state while they drink and dine." - Matt Lardie
"A brewpub with its brewery housed in the same building as the restaurant and popular patio, it emphasizes community-minded hospitality and staff development rather than chef-focused ego. Leadership organized a collaborative brew day in which nine women in leadership created the blood-orange When There Are Nine pale wheat ale—using a Pink Boots Society hop blend and benefitting the local No Woman, No Girl Initiative—which proved popular enough to require a second batch and release in cans and on draft. The owner frames the business around a “Quartz Effect” ethos of amplifying positive energy, and the operation visibly supports social causes (including prominent Black Lives Matter and Pride displays) while prioritizing cross-training, trust-building experiences, and employee spotlighting on social media." - Eric Ginsburg
