First impressions of our fall menu? Looking pretty delicious 🍂

Our Wild Mushroom Ragout brings together creamy heirloom cheddar grits, seasonal vegetables, crispy shallots, and a rich red w**e jus. Comforting, flavorful, and just right for the season.

Come see what Chef Peter has been working on at Spencer’s Tavern.

Open 4–9 PM.

Thursday’s looking a little more like fall 🍂🍎

Our new fall menu makes its debut this Thursday at Spencer’s Tavern, bringing the flavors of the season to the table. Think butternut squash, roasted pears, sweet potato, apple c***r, cranberry, maple and plenty of fall spice.

And dessert deserves its own moment. Sweet Potato Maple Cheesecake, Spiced Apple Upside Down Cake, Roasted Peach Cobbler Tart and Bourbon Apple Crisp ice cream are all joining the lineup.

Swipe through, pick your favorite, and we’ll see you Thursday.

Some things just belong at the table ❤️

A cold Cheerw**e for a taste of something local, something fresh from Chef Peter’s kitchen, and nearly two centuries of history surrounding it all. At Spencer’s Tavern, it’s those little details - from familiar Southern favorites and seasonal dishes to local touches - that make dining in Hillsborough feel like Hillsborough, all served within the historic walls of The Colonial Inn.

Grab a table, see what Chef Peter has cooking, and stay awhile 🍽️✨

A little something to look forward to tonight 🥩🍸

Hanger steak cooked to your liking, finished with house-made herb au poivre and served alongside crispy herb Parmesan frites and a fresh micro salad.

One last helping of comfort 🍝🤍

Our final Comfort Monday of the year is here, and Chef Peter is closing things out with Baked Ziti—ground beef, Sunday sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan, served with roasted asparagus and a small house salad with your choice of dressing.

Cheesy, saucy and baked until golden. A pretty fitting way to send off Comfort Mondays for the year 🍽️

Monday | $25 | While supplies last!

Some Sundays call for a table, not a to-do list 🐟

No set dish. No same-old order. Chef Peter’s Catch is inspired by what’s fresh and available, so there’s always something new making its way to the table.

These are just a few examples of what you might find waiting for you at Spencer’s Tavern 🍽️

Oh, the places these drinks will take you🍸✨

Maybe it’s a cocktail on the porch, a round with friends in the courtyard, or a cold Cheerw**e with a little North Carolina history behind it.

At Spencer’s Tavern, it all comes with a little extra history. Located inside The Colonial Inn, nearly two centuries of stories have unfolded here - many of them, we’re sure, over a drink or two🥂

Nothing beats a classic 🍔

Spencer’s Tavern may be known for elevated dining, but sometimes a great burger and fries are exactly what the night calls for.

Our Colonial Classic Burger is cooked to your liking and topped with your choice of cheese, smash sauce, leaf lettuce, tomato, and red onion on a brioche bun, with crispy fries on the side. Prefer something different? Swap the beef for a black bean burger.

Pair it with an ice-cold soda, sweet tea, cold b**r, or handcrafted cocktail, and you’ve got a pretty hard-to-beat meal.
