I've been to TOPO (Top of the Hill) three times now. The beer has always been great. I'm partial to wheat beers and their blueberry (summer stock) and cranberry (winter/fall) are both fantastic. The grit cakes with mushrooms is awesome. However, everything else I've had there has been mediocre at best. I got 3 sides last night when I went-- mac-n-cheese, creamed spinach, and collards-- and all 3 were terrible. The mac-n-cheese was missing CHEESE. The creamed spinach had zero flavor and was in what looked and tasted like 2 percent milk (NOT creamy at all). And the collards were passable, but could use some onions or bacon. I was super disappointed and left most of the meal. The servers are mainly young people (understandably) but this means that service is unpredictable. It was good last night, but terrible the last time I went. I know this place is iconic for UNC/Chapel Hill, and that most people go for the beer (thank goodness). But it's too bad their food is so bad. I would like to take out-of-town guests to the place but don't want visitors to think this is typical of Chapel Hill offerings. It's definitely not.
