Love sitting outside on their patio as the weather warms up! My daughter and I each got a pizza - hers was traditional (with house made mozzarella) while I got the pesto and prosciutto and they were both delish (definitely had to take the leftovers home). My husband got a burger and said it was great… and the fries were amazing. Their seasonal drink menu is also always on point! Great local place!

I've enjoyed several meals here and am very impressed with the quality and creativity of the food dishes - including desserts which change from day to day. The atmosphere is very nice, with excellent outdoor/ covered open air seating seasonally depending on the weather. It's becoming my neighborhood favorite! They continue to hold up high standards and service. Most recently the Hold the Kitchen Sink pizza followed by red velvet cake for dessert!

Loved the mozzarella bites! The panko coating was flavored with rosemary, which was super yummy! The meatballs were ginormous! Our whole family enjoyed the excellent food and superb service. We will be back soon!

The food and signature cocktails change seasonally. This makes Neighbors 828 a fun place to come back to. We keep visiting to try new drinks and foods. The service was amazing. The bartender even came out to our table to personally ask if we liked our drinks. Check out their dessert counter before you leave!! We usually eat outside but ate inside this time due to the cold NC winter weather. My only suggestion would be to lower the ceiling in the dining room for a more cozy atmosphere. The high ceiling in the bar area is beautiful. Please don't change that. Perhaps Just lower it in the dining area?? I can't wait to try the winter/ holiday menu. When will it be coming out? We'll be back soon....

Great atmosphere... Good but slow service. I ordered a chicken panini... It was on focaccia bread, thick and hardly toasted at all. And the chicken on it was small chopped up chicken. The girls had a salad and loved it. The pepperoni roll up app was good but the artichoke was some kind of ground up mush with very little flavor. Their sauce isn't bad but to thick and too rich in my opinion.
