The Boot Room
Phone: (919) 748-3499
The Boot Room is best for big soccer matches — with themed menu items like The Rapinoe grilled chicken sandwich, or the Italian Maldini — but buzzes for just about any big sporting event. They call themselves a sandwich shop, but you don't want to sleep on the appetizers and big salads: the bang-bang tots, fried pickles including okra, green tomatoes, and a house-made feta-dill tzatziki and the hearty Carolina cobb salad make everyone a winner.

Went for a company lunch, and it was a perfect pick for a group. I had the BLT and it was delicious, crispy bacon, fresh lettuce and tomato, and really good toasted bread. You can tell they put care into their sandwiches. It's a soccer pub vibe, super casual and welcoming, not too loud even during lunch, and service was quick and friendly. Great spot for a work lunch. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu. -
Donna with Offline - What a gem! We were on this side of town and I wanted a burger so we decided to try this place! I’m glad we did! We ordered the Bang Bang Tots, I got the Smoky Sarri with sweet potato fries and my husband got the Stevie G. with pimento Mac and cheese. The tots were addictive!!!! We couldn’t stop eating them! I had to stop myself otherwise I would’ve been too full to eat my burger! We split the burger and chicken sandwich so we could try each (in the end I would only be able to eat my half of my burger and about two bites of the chicken sandwich because of all the tots I ate but we’ll get there). My burger was good! The meat was flavored well, all the things went well together it was a great burger!! I’m glad I ordered it!! The chicken sandwich (Stevie G) the chicken was seasoned well as well!! I was sad I was only able to eat two bites as I was stuffed, why.. because whatever sauce they had with my sweet potato fries was amazing. It’s different from what I’ve had before! So I kept eating all the carbs! So yes we will definitely be back to try other foods!!!!

Great spot connected to a beer hall! Can’t go wrong with this place. The food is surprisingly solid for a place like this. But the fried pickles were my personal favorite. There are 3 different kinds of pickles! Some of the best I’ve had. The salad was also especially good.

While visiting North Carolina, we decided to try The Boot Room after searching for a restaurant that could accommodate our family's different tastes. My son had been craving pasta, and after looking at the menu online, this seemed like the perfect fit. I had even spotted a Chicken Parmesan dish that I knew he would love to try.
Unfortunately, when we arrived, the menu was different from what was advertised online. Since we were on a tight schedule and needed to get back to my son's soccer camp, we decided to make the best of it and order anyway.
I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, my husband chose pancakes with eggs, and I ordered two Chicken Parmesan dishes for my son. When the food arrived, what was supposed to be his pasta turned out to be plain macaroni with shredded cheese. At first, I was so impressed by how delicious my Huevos Rancheros looked that I didn't realize there had been a mix-up.
Sadly, the meal did not live up to its presentation. After taking a few bites, I noticed one of my sunny-side-up eggs wasn't fully cooked, with part of the egg white still clear and runny. Around the same time, my son let me know that his pasta lacked flavor and wasn't something he enjoyed eating.
On a positive note, my husband's breakfast was perfectly fine with no complaints. The restaurant also offered complimentary water, although it was carbonated and tasted more like mineral water, which wasn't really our preference. Other beverages came at an additional cost.
What made the experience especially disappointing was how excited we were when we first walked in. The atmosphere is fantastic for soccer fans. The walls are covered with framed jerseys, player photos, scarves, and memorabilia, and the bar area continues the soccer-themed experience. As a soccer family, we immediately felt at home.
Unfortunately, while the atmosphere scored big points, the food didn't match our expectations. The Boot Room has a lot of potential and an amazing soccer-focused vibe, but based on this visit, the dining experience left us desiring better. -
We stopped by to get a couple beers before the football game in Chapel Hill. We end up watching the soccer match. Amy at the bar was so nice, kept us respectable.
