The 10 Most Iconic College Restaurants in America: Merritt’s Store & Grill, UNC-Chapel Hill

Posted Feb 26, 2017
Undergrads in Chapel Hill know where to get a good B.L.T: Merritt’s. Do you want a single, a double, or a triple? How about avocado or pimento cheese? Merritt’s takes the B.L.T. to the next level. This 1920s-era gas-station-turned-sandwich-shop is not the cheapest, but it is charming, and students make the pilgrimage to check the box off this UNC bucket list experience. (QSR)
