In Short – You'll get a warm feeling when you stroll through the door of Tyler Huntington's Carrboro establishment. The light varnished wood of the floor, furniture and handsome bar evokes a remarkable feeling of comfort. Lunch consists of mostly sandwiches and salads, while dinner shifts to a heavier fare. If you're up for late-night munchies, the kitchen offers spruced-up bar food, including peerless homemade potato chips.

Waiter, there is a hair in my calamari
by haitran100
This review is for the Tyler's in Durham, not sure this is the same location, but still Tyler's tap room. We went there for dinner. After waiting 20 minutes for our waitress to even get to our table, we waited another 10 minutes for drinks and to order. Another 20 miutes elapsed and we were finally got our meals. Unfortunately, my wife's calamari had a big hair all curled up in it. After having to hunt down the waitress, she came by and took the salad. No appology, nothing, just took it and left. Well, at this point, our appetites were gone from the wait and from the hairy salad. Manager finally came out and said they took the salad off our bill. Why gees, thanks for not charging us for the hairy salad. Service is terrible. Hair in the food is over the top.
- Pros: Location
- Cons: Sanitation, service

Nice Place, Not Hospitable
by NKelly88
I was celebrating my birthday and invited a few friends to come to Tyler's for a quick bite or drink before we ventured to another larger party. BAD IDEA. I heard more about their Friday night policies than I cared to. The food was good, the server was great, but the folks that run the place should re-examine their career choice. If you are not going to be hospitable, then don't get into the hospitality business. Will never go back.
- Pros: Food and drink was fine
- Cons: Too rules for seating, very unpleasant hostess

Gave it a shot, not going back again.

We didn't eat there so there's no complaint about the food. The layout was decent, the beer selection was decent, the service was not a problem until it became one. We just watched a football game at the bar on a lazy sunday afternoon. The bar staff, all girls, asked us to keep the "noise down" repeatedly until they suggested we might be happier in their "back bar", which we didn't even know existed. We noticed they did the same to other patrons as well simply for clapping at the game, which was basically all we were doing too. There was One (1) family in the dining room and maybe 8 people in the place in total. I can understand wanting to maintain an image standard in their dining area but we felt that was a little excessive. After that we felt awkward and just weirded out by that. Shortly afterward we decided to move someplace a little less restrictive but when we did go I disputed a couple of beer orders which I was sure I had already paid for. Not arguing, just questioning. The bartender simply said OK and removed them from the bill, the other bartender, presumably the manager, took back the adjusted tab from me and replaced it with the original stating "I was the sober one I knew what you had". Can you get any ruder than that? It was only a difference of $11! And if they really wanted to keep customers coming back she should have just adjusted it. Instead I got a smart*** remark. She didn't even bother to check the receipts to see if I was wrong. Mistakes happen and I very well may have been the one at fault but to make such a fuss over $11 made us feel unwelcome and unwanted. It is because of her I will never return and will advise others to do the same.
- Pros: Good beer selection, excellent decor
- Cons: less than courteous service
