While I have not dined at Rhett's, I recently had a private dinner catered by Rhett for a group of golfers. The dinner was in our condo, but the experience was restaurant quality. The dinner was four courses: appetizers, salad, entree, and dessert. Before each course, he talked about the local sources the food came from, and the steps he... More

A group of 8 of us ate there on 4/26. Claire & Roberto were the chefs and Laura was our server. The food was expertly prepared and presented, and was delicious. I heartily recommend the trout. Other reviewers have made less than stellar comments about the service. I have nothing but good things to say about ours. Laura was very... More

Rhetts has the best shrimp and grits around. However they tend not to have issues with getting orders correct. Even though I got something that I did not order it was very good. Used to eat here all the time but have not been back since they got my order wrong. More

We had dinner here this week with a large party of friends and the service was excellent.The food around the table was beautifully prepared as well as fresh ingredients from the NC area, so good I wanted to start over and begin my meal again. Lunch or dinner is such a treat at Rhett's because of the quality of food,... More

Good food, especially liked the red pepper-gruyere soup. Yummy. Service wasn't too good, though, which is why I didn't rate them excellent. More

I have been to this restaurant twice prior. Not a wow experience, but with a small town, you do not have a ton of options. Our service was poor as the waiter was more interested in talking to people he knew. Inattentive and board with the job. Unfortunately, our lunch was not any better. Food cold and over seasoned. My... More

A friend me to Rhett's for dinner one night and we had a great meal, great service and overall great experience! I look forward to going back for the Spring menu. Do make Rhett's a must stop for dinner one evening. Reservations may be needed. Be sure to try the special desserts. More

My fiance and I live in Southern Pines and we've been to most of the restaurants in the area, but had somehow missed Rhett's. For our "date night" this week, we thought we'd give it a try. While I'm not sorry that we did, I think there were a few things that missed the mark and would be super easy... More
