    This was a cool modern twist on a traditional tea house with great service.. I enjoyed the tapas style creative food. There was not a large variety of tea but we were able to find something we enjoyed. There is a full bar with tea mixed drinks. Everything is ordered ala carte. The tea is served in a French press which was an interesting presentation but caused the last cup to be quite bitter as the leaves continued to steep even when pressed to the bottom. The sausage balls were a favorite for my whole party including the kids.

    We just moved here a couple months ago and finally got around to going here. We expected it to be nice and a little expensive, but it turns out it is nice and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere is fantastic and a lot of fun. We may borrow some of their design ideas for our own house. They did some very creative things with the wallpaper in particular. The food was fantastic. We got a risotto & a ramen dish. Both were great. The appetizers were smaller portions and very reasonably priced to match. We got 3! The service was also great. Our server was Tyler (I hope I remembered their name!) who knew the menu perfectly and gave us some personal recommendations. We also had a dessert that we shared. It was also really good. It was a chocolate mousse and it was light and just amazing. The tea my wife got was interesting. It tasted like Christmas. Overall, it was great! The price was a lot lower than we expected, too. We will be going back regularly!

    We were a large group of 7 adults, 2 teens and 2 small children celebrating a birthday. It was our first time at PTR. We got there right when it opened for Sunday brunch but there was a long line and a couple big parties before us. The host was super accommodating and gracious keeping us updated on the table status. The front porch had a lovely breeze and plenty of seats while we waited. One server brought waters for the kids which was greatly appreciated! We were SO HAPPY we waited because it was 100% worth it for the food!! However, our server Amy must have been having a bad day because she seemed very put out by any requests, was very stern and short, and kept cutting us off when we spoke to her. We will return again for any meal and will make a request for any other server who will help elevate our next PTR dining experience!

    What a delightful restaurant! Each room has a different theme and the atmosphere is wonderful. Food is delivered quickly and it is all delicious. The scones are mouth watering and you can order a flight of flavored butters to have with them. I had the Ten Layer salad for my main course and it was the perfect pairing of flavors. Larger parties over 7 will be split between tables as the most they can have at a table is 7. And make sure you arrive earlier than your planned meal time in the event there is a wait. There are no reservations but I guarantee it is worth the wait!

    I found out about the pimento tea room in a random local magazine and it looked interesting so we gave it a try on our date night unsure of what to expect. THIS PLACE WAS GREAT!!! The staff was nice, the atmosphere was so fun, the food was SO GOOD, but I think my favorite was the cocktails! We topped it off with a delicious dessert. We left happy, full, and ready to tell all our friends to visit!

    We had been meaning to visit this place since it opened, and we finally snagged a Sunday morning! We arrived at 10:45, and there was one party of five in front of us. By the time it opened at 11:00, there were 7 parties in line. They had no trouble seating all of our parties upon opening. We had the choice of indoor or outdoor covered patio seating. We chose indoor because my kids love to look at decor... little did I know this place was expert at providing decor distraction! So many cute touches, from the monkey wallpaper to the bathroom roses (I'll not spoil details for you). Food: Ahhhmazing. My kids loved the Sunday Sundae 🍨 and proclaimed it was the best ice cream they'd ever had! The tea is a must. We all enjoyed the excuse to use sugar cubes. 😀 My special sandwich was gourmet AND filling, which is not a frequent combo anymore! The owners were always helping and making sure patrons were taken care of; our server, Kelsi, was very friendly and loved spoiling our kids 😀. We just never wanted to leave - but our bellies were full and we knew we'd need to make room for the rest of the Sunday crowd. Well done, PTR. This restaurant is a welcome, unique addition to the growing Main Street Holly Springs vibe.

    Had a mocktail called The Cure, which includes a tea in it that has a delicious amount of cinnamon in it. Also, some funky southern take on tostadas that I loved. This dinner was the second time I've visited, the first was for brunch, which was also magical (get a flight of butter for your scone, you won't regret it).

    Superb experience during lunch. Service, quality ingredients and magnificent cocktails. Collard greens and cheese to start 10. Chowder was homemade delicious and the salad was fresh and healthy. Can't wait to try the "Dinner Club" menu and wine tasting. Can't say enough about the service, pretty spectacular. Tomato BLT must do a repeat.

    One of my favorite places, hands down! The creativity in the menu has never disappointed and every single thing I have ever had has brought a smile to my face. The teas are delicious, the cocktails are great. The butter flight (like come onnnn!) Don't sleep on any of the items you may not think you'll like, I almost guarantee you will. HIGHLY suggest making it to a Monday Supper Club - so so fun!

    I was absolutely enchanted with this place! We had the most amazing and elegant experience with the most knowledgeable and pleasant server. Desiree was impeccable and the food and drinks were perfect. I couldn’t have imagined a better anniversary date with my love💖🥰 We will definitely be back and we will ask for Desiree!💖💖

    Very unique tea room! We stopped by for tea and snacks and were excited to be joined by this portrait of Mr. T. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cute quirky place to kill some time in Holly Springs.

    I loved this place! The scones were so good and I liked how you guys had vegan butters! The atmosphere was so cute too.

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 10 months ago on Google
    My partner and I have been here multiple times and it is always incredible. This place changes their menu weekly and it is always a pleasure to visit and see what the kitchen’s created that week. Creamed collard dip and the pimento is a must, and the desserts always deserve a taste. And there are always vegetarian options 💚Such an amazing space and very attentive staff. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    First time we’ve been & definitely will not be the last! Wonderful server, John, who had great recommendations for us. Food was unique and delicious. Pimento cheese - amazing - scones-wow & tea - so much fun! 10/10 would recommend - would be a great date night spot!

  • 5/5 Raye A. 9 months ago on Google
    Relocated to the area and found this lovely spot pretty quickly. Have returned twice with visitors and we love everything about it. Menu is light and unique. Drink menu inventive and fun. Food is great. Pimiento Cheese and Saltines take me right back to my youth and ate a perfect snack. Scones are delicious - try the scallion and honey butter. Had salads and they are terrific, fresh, and balanced. Great service, nifty decor, and gracious hospitality. A must.

    Came specifically for their smoky Mary. With a house mix and bread and butter pickles I found this to be a great match for the name Smokey. The rim was delicious and I asked for extra spicy. Added 1 and a half habanero. 8/10 a top in my list.

    I dream about the 10 layer salad. The fried black eyed peas are incredible, the pimento cheese dressing is incredible. The "Texas Sheet Cake" that I got to-go was a huge bummer. I don't think they know what a sheet cake is. This looked like a peanut butter cup and had none of the fluffy softness and thick icing that I expect from Texas Sheet Cake. Also, I hate the metal chairs that were on the patio. They are absolutely uncomfortable.

    An unexpected delight! The eclectic vibe of this cozy place is quirky and fun, but, the service and the food are what put it over the top. If there was a 6th star, that's what I would give it. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Can't wait to go back. The seasonal menu changes too, so always something new to try! Oh, and did I mention the cocktails? As Unique as the decor, but not overdone. Creative twists on some classics. And great wine and beer selection too.

    Went for a birthday lunch a few months ago and had the best time. The service was the best part, definitely a friendly relaxing atmosphere. Enjoyed my Kiss of the Dragon hot toddy with the tea sandwiches of the week, sausage balls and Brunswick stew. Can’t wait to go back for dinner or brunch!
