COUNTY RESTAURANTS BEST IN NC
Those of us that live in Cumberland County know that there are
plenty of dining options - varied types of cuisine of every taste and
budget. In fact, the Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau
(FACVB) has tallied close to 600 restaurants in the county.
However, you may NOT know that several of our restaurants and
pubs are ranked among the best in the state.
Scoutology, a community-specific news, information and
engagement platform active on the East Coast, named several
county establishments the top in North Carolina:
Circa 1800 nabbed the #6 spot on the "15 Best Restaurants in
North Carolina" ranking. Circa 1800 is a locally sourced restaurant
with creative Southern food like Southern egg rolls with ham and
collards or cedar plank salmon. www.thecirca1800.com
316 Oyster Bar & Seafood Grill ranked #16 on the "Top Seafood
Spots in North Carolina" list. The seafood for 316 is delivered
fresh daily. Reviews reflect that the restaurant is known for not
only the freshness of their food, but the quality of their service.

There is an old saying around here that goes something
like, "Point your compass in any direction in Cumberland
County and you are bound to come across savory delica-
cies at every turn."
Seafood snatched fresh from the Carolina coast, BBQ like
only us North Carolinians can pull off, Spanish cafes pro-
viding Latin flair and German bakeries serving the most
mouth-watering treats are just a sampling of some of the
cuisine we hold near and dear to our hearts - and bellies.
What's more is that all the restaurants delivering you
these delicious meals, beverages and desserts hold one
thing in common - each is locally owned and operated.
