Eating + Drinking

Great little classic pub in the heart of Pinehurst Village. Best pimento cheeseburger around, especially if you catch them on a day that it's available on an English muffin.

Don't write it off just because it's in a gas station. This might be the best sandwich ("wedgie") spot in town. Only open for lunch.

A long-time favorite of locals. Great sandwich spot and a good option for breakfast/brunch too. Sit outside if you don't love crowded spaces.

Our absolute favorite breakfast/brunch/lunch. It's small, so there's often a wait on weekends, but you can grab a coffee and wander around downtown, or claim a bench and people-watch, while you wait to be called. You'll be glad you did.

If the only thing on their menu were the reuben eggrolls, I'd still include Ashten's in this guidebook. Best appetizer ever.

Yes, it's a chain, but if you want to watch a game somewhere with tons of TVs and much-better-than-your-average-sports-bar food, this is your best bet. The patio's great year-round, thanks to heaters and a giant fireplace.

A total Southern Pines classic. The white pizza is perfection. Just FYI, there will be a wait on weekends - and it's cash-only. (If you want the Vito's pizza without the full Vito's experience, there's a second, much smaller location in a small shopping center on Hwy. 5 between Pinehurst and Aberdeen.)

C.Cups has two locations - downtown Southern Pines and the Village of Pinehurst - and either is sure to be a hit. Delish!

Great with or without kids. Playground, trails, tennis courts - just a nice outdoor space. Some of the trails lead over to the Pinehurst Arboretum.

Pretty unanimously the best playground in the area. It's mostly enclosed, has bathrooms nearby, there's good seating for adults, and kids LOVE it.

Dunrovin is a really eclectic country store that has been around forever and at some point added in an animal sanctuary/low-key zoo in its back yard. The animals provide a fun (free) way to kill an hour or two, and there's ice cream for sale too.

A really popular spot for walking/running (the loop around the lake is just over 2 miles), fishing, disc golf and just relaxing. Tons of trails connect in this area.

Probably the best park in Southern Pines, right in the center of downtown. A great place to let the kids play for a while and then walk down to the Ice Cream Parlor for a milkshake. Also has tennis and basketball courts open to the public.

This small regional airport has a few outdoor picnic tables, and on nice days we sometimes pack a lunch and eat it there - the kids like watching planes come and go.

About 45 minutes from Pinehurst is Seagrove, a community with the largest concentration of working potters in the United States - more than 50 pottery shops are within a 20-mile radius. Take a day or two to explore the countryside, stopping by shops as you see them - you'll likely meet the potters themselves. A great rainy day activity!

The largest of the local libraries, the Southern Pines Public Library offers free activities ranging from children's storytimes to writing groups to book clubs. It's a quiet, comfortable place to work or browse the book collection. And if you need a break from reading, there's usually a community puzzle in progress in the periodicals section!

The Village of Pinehurst ("Old Town") is a great place for high-end shopping, dining and walking. Truly beautiful historic homes and other buildings, plenty of shade, and very pedestrian-friendly.
