What Makes My Way Tavern Stand Out
Community-Centric Atmosphere: The tavern is designed to foster a sense of belonging, making it an ideal location for community members to connect, share stories, and enjoy a sense of camaraderie in a relaxed setting.
Prime Location in Holly Springs: Positioned conveniently at 301 Center St, the tavern is easily accessible for those exploring the downtown area or looking for a reliable dining option within the local neighborhood.
Commitment to Quality Service: The staff is dedicated to ensuring that every guest receives attentive and friendly service, contributing to a seamless experience that encourages repeat visits and long-term relationships with patrons.

A Local Gathering Place
Beyond the food and the physical space, My Way Tavern represents the spirit of Holly Springs. It is a place where the pace of life seems to slow down, allowing guests to focus on the people they are with and the simple pleasure of a good meal. The tavern recognizes that in today's fast-paced world, having a reliable "third place"—a location outside of home and work—is essential for mental well-being and social cohesion. By providing this space, the tavern plays an active role in the fabric of the local community.
The team behind the tavern understands that the success of a local business is tied directly to the satisfaction of its neighbors. This is why they place such a high premium on listening to feedback and continuously refining their approach to hospitality. Every detail, from the arrangement of the seating to the attentiveness of the service staff, is intended to create a positive impression that lasts long after the meal is finished. It is this attention to the human element of the restaurant industry that distinguishes My Way Tavern from more impersonal dining chains.
As Holly Springs continues to grow and evolve, My Way Tavern remains committed to its founding principles of hospitality and community engagement. Whether you are a long-time resident who has watched the town change over the years or a newcomer looking to get a feel for the local culture, you will find that the tavern offers a warm welcome. It is more than just a place to eat; it is a cornerstone of the local social scene, inviting everyone to pull up a chair and enjoy the company of others in a setting that feels truly like home.
We invite you to visit us at 301 Center St to experience the unique charm of My Way Tavern for yourself. We look forward to serving you and becoming a part of your regular routine, whether you are stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for a longer stay. Your presence is what makes our tavern a vibrant part of the Holly Springs community, and we are honored to have the opportunity to serve you.

New to the area and exploring the local restaurants. Overall, good food and atmosphere. We sat outside and they have a nice outdoor area along the sidewalk. The menu is pretty big, lots of good looking appetizers, but didn’t get any this … More

Consistently well prepared and delicious food that are large portions. Service very good and a bit loud due to sports bar but great place to eat and watch sports or just be with friends. The Rachael salad is my all time fave More

OH MY GOSH. I CANNOT say enough good things about this place!!!
The first time we went they had a reuben mac as one of their specials, and OH MY GOODNESS IT WAS SO SO SOOO GOOD!!!! My mom and sister and I shared their pretzel bites appetizer... Just that appetizer ALONE made us want to come back again, which we did!!! Totally in love with this place. I really liked the atmosphere. A lot of taverns don't really have a kid/family-friendly atmosphere, but My Way totally does. 10/10 would recommend!!

Wow, totally did not expect to have such an excellent meal. Get The Henry! Fried chicken sandwich is to die for. Seriously, the best I have ever had. Do yourself a favor and get a side of Raspberry Chipotle sauce, it sound nasty, but out of this world awesome. A local took me and I am a two hour drive, sad face. There are so many menu items that I want to try! Craft beer menu is has many local excellent choices. Staff is great. Atmosphere on a Sunday Funday Football Day was excellent. Just a great pace with a great vibe.

Had to wait half hour to get a seat at the bar. Busy for a good reason… beer was fresh& cold, swift service with a smile. Hard work tonight as they had a full house. Jacket potatoes were solid and tasty. Great sports on TV and a relaxed vibe. Love this place 🍻 …

Overall Score: 5.8/10 – A standard tavern experience with a large menu and solid service. The space is clean, the staff was friendly and attentive, and while the food wasn’t exceptional, it offered fair portions and decent variety.
Atmosphere and Service: 6.0/10 – The outside is plain and uninviting, but the inside is clean and functional. It’s a seat-yourself style, but service was quick and polite. The large menu, especially the mac and cheese section, adds appeal.
Baby Back Mac: 6.2/10 – A creative and satisfying dish. The ribs, BBQ sauce, and baked mac blended well for a bold flavor. The macaroni seemed homemade, and the portion and price were fair. The strong taste did get a little overwhelming halfway through but still offered good quality.
Bacon Cheeseburger: 5.7/10 – A very plain and simple burger. The patty was decent, but nothing stood out. Fries were good and helped round out an otherwise average plate.
Nachos: 5.6/10 – Basic in flavor and presentation. The cheese blend was the highlight, but some stale chips and a slightly high price point held it back. Quality felt lower than expected.

Nice menu, everyone liked their food, good place to eat if you have people with different hunger levels. There was live music when we went. It was a bit too loud for us but it created a nice environment feel and I know other people probably like having the music be loud and live. More

Great pub-style food and atmosphere at lunch. I go frequently for work lunches and am always happy with whatever I get. I highly recommend the Cobb salad. It is large enough for 2 people, but it's so delicious you won't want to share!
I went for dinner one night with my family and service was not great, food was just ok, and it was so loud we could barely hear each other talk. Recommend for lunch but not for dinner.

We ate outside, so I can't really speak to the atmosphere of the place, but the service (Shane) was impeccable, and the food was on point.
I had the french dip with pasta salad, and my wife had the ciabatta bun salmon. Both were excellent, and great portion sizes. The kids had hot dogs... not much to say there because... they're hot dogs.
But My Way made a great impression on us and we definitely will return, and will check out the inside next time!!

My way Tavern is kind of hidden but Google maps will get you there. The inside is a typical dark pub. There are beer can lining the space on shelves at ceiling level. T shirts are tacked on the ceiling. There is a digital juke box on the wall near the entry. First time I have seen one of these. They have outside seating but we sat inside because it was a fairly humid evening. My one complaint is that it is very loud. Lots of hard surfaces for sound to bounce off of and people drinking and they get louder the more they drink. The food was very good. I had the blue cheese wedge salad which was delicious. My husband had the stuffed potato with broccoli and cheese. The potato was split open, cheese and broccoli added and put back in the oven so that it was a bit crusty and so good! We will be back and will just eat outside😊

My Way NEVER disappoints!!!
The food is consistently great and the service is outstanding. We go there quite often and enjoy the atmosphere and the vibe you get from being downtown HOLLY SPRINGS.
The prices are very reasonable and the portions are great sizes.
We’ve never had a negative experience at My Way.
Whatever you’re eating, you have to get the ranch dressing for your french fries or your chips. Probably the best dressing you’ll ever taste!!!

Nothing wrong with the food. I actually tastes very good. Only reason I rated the food at 4 is my steak was medium, not medium rare like I ordered. It was still spectacular. Great staff. Very attentive. Fast service. Great environment. Definitely will return.

Always great. Wings are awesome, I don’t know what they do to the chicken but every chicken dish they have is fantastic. Lots of sandwiches and a fabulous Sunday NFL special menu. Sometimes they have good drink specials and they have less expensive alcohol prices than most places around. It’s a bar atmosphere of course with the bar dominating the area but it has a very well lit pub atmosphere, very child friendly. Good appetizers too. Absolutely on my list of favorites to go to every week or two. Great for all sports as they have a ton of tv’s. And unlike many nc places it is not always tuned to college basketball year round.
