My wife and I try our best to eat at Rhetts every chance we get. The service is always outstanding, the food has never been anything less than great. It's a cosy place to take in lunch or dinner. The food is always fresh and filling. The owner has been there everytime we have went, to take orders, ask how... More

It's probably great for dinner too but that will have to wait till our next trip. Just read all of the good reviews and add our vote. We have been trying shrimp and grits because it seems to be such a signature dish in the region. Rhett's is by far the best we have tried.We also had his blue cheese... More

This place offers great value, and one of the best places to eat in the Sandhills. We tried the two signature plates ( pan seared trout / chicken cordon bleu) which were both amazing. The wine selection is very good / reasonable. The service was prompt, courteous, and professional. Unfortunately, we did not have time to sample the deserts. Unlike... More

Lunch with wife. Small menu, but pleasing. Some unusual dishes. Good service and food. A bit pricey. Parking on street. Check it out.... a good place. More

We have eaten at Rhett's numerous times while visiting family in Southern Pines, NC. In fact, we had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Rhett's! He made the food we requested and we had the whole place to ourselves. All of our guests LOVED it! The food from Rhett's was WAY better than the wedding food. Everything we've eaten there has...

Each year, I organize a golf trip in Pinehurst with 7 buddies. We typically stay at the Pinehurst Resort, but we changed our itinerary this year and stayed at a different course with condos. At the recommendation of a friend for whom Rhett cooked before, we hired Rhett and his staff to visit our condo one night to make dinner... More

Was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of some of the items on the new menu. Looks like this will be a good one. They are introducing small plates as well as fall vegetables. A couple of the new small plates were particularly good - black eyed pea cake with BBQ pork and homemade chowchow, spicy house made sausage... More

Rhett catered a dinner for us (12 guys) during a golf weekend. The food was outstanding. The appetizer (lamb chops and shrimp and grits), salad, and entree (filet) were all excellent. The entire meal was "grown locally". The chocolate cake for dessert was fabulous as well. Would highly recommend Rhett. More

My husband and I are literally pulling out of the parking lot as I write this. The lime green walls are cute ands set off the local (for sale) artwork beautifully. The waitress was extremely attentive andthe owner was there at one point to ensure everything was going well. The atmosphere overall is extremely family friendly. Perhaps not the choice... More
