Thankfully, construction has been going well so far and we are still hoping for an early October open date. As a result of the feedback received through the poll, as well as in person and in email--we will be a non-smoking venue (both in the bar and the main dining room), with a smoking area on the patio. Convincing and passionate arguments were made on both sides, but of the 350+ people that voted, over 80% favored non-smoking.
We are in the process of finalizing our website, which should go live next month. At that time we will post our menu and also begin the hiring process. We should also have a post here from our chef in the following weeks discussing the menu and our process for delivering fresh and delicious lunch and dinner fare.
We plan on holding numerous pre-opening events, including a fundraiser where all proceeds will benefit a local charity. Sign up on the Tobacco Road website to receive updates and invitations to these special events. As always, please continue to let us know your thoughts on food, sports and service so that we can create a dining experience that really does exceed your expectations.

We've heard great things about the food and service at Tobacco Road. But we're most excited to find a smoke-free bar (sports bar especially!) in the Triangle. There are a lot of bars closer to our home, but we're making the trip to Tobacco Road so that we can enjoy our food and drinks without all that smoke. Kudos to you for taking the plunge to go smoke-free in a tobacco state. We'll do try to make as much business as possible so that you can keep it that way!!
I had lunch and chose the Hanger Steak. Not having had it before, I took the plunge. By far the best steak I have ever had; it was a beautiful medium rare, tender and lots of flavor. The mixed green salad with in-house made dressing was so fresh. And no smoking. Will come back again and have dinner in the big lounge chair by the TVs. Great place, you wil taste the owners passion for quality food at a good price. Mira
Great call in going smoke-free. This is a HUGE factor in my decision making process (and I know for many others as well). Looking forward to checking the bar out very soon.
I don't care how good the food may be if I can not pursue my happiness of a smoke after my meal and if this establishment don't value my personal happiness as much as any other customer and considers that of less importance than a paranoid non smoker then I don't care or need to spend my money at this resturant. That goes for your patio too!
lol @ the previous comment. Smoking is no longer allowed an *any* restaurant in NC. YAY!!!
