The Courthouse Tavern in Albemarle, NC is a charming restaurant serving Gumbo, Pimento Cheese deviled eggs with candied bacon, and wonderful Alfredo dishes.
114 S 2nd St. Albemarle, NC
The Digs:
The inside is pretty, and they have maximized the space nicely as it is a small restaurant. There is a bar that will seat approximately six people comfortably, but most don’t come here to sit at the bar …… so far anyway.
The Grub:
I ordered the Gumbo, which was fantastic. You really need to try it. Very full of chunky goodness and delightfully tasty.
I also tried the Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs with candied bacon. That bacon is absolutely “knock your socks off” delicious and I’ve tried alot of bacon. I thought the eggs were fair, but my daughter loved them, and I loved the bacon, so we were both happy.
My daughter had the Chicken Alfredo. It was probably the best Alfredo I’ve ever eaten, (she even agreed). I had to keep stealing bites off her plate because it tasted so good. Highly recommend the Alfredo dishes here.
They currently have a small wine, beer, and cocktail list but I imagine it may grow over time.
Plan for a wait because this is not a large restaurant. If you want, you could walk next door to The Tomahawk Range and throw a few axes while you wait.
As of now, this is a very new restaurant in Albemarle. The good news is that they are constantly adding wonderful dishes to their menu. Be sure to give them a try.
The Scratch (Per Person):

The Duds:
You can come as you are, but many do dress a little nicer for dinner at The Courthouse.
