North Carolina’s Newest Culinary Collective COMING SOON!

Old North State Food Hall, located directly off of I-95, will be the nation’s first roadside food hall. Recognizing our state’s deep agricultural history, the food hall will feature North Carolina produce, seafood, meats and cheeses throughout the various vendors.

Integrated with the food hall, Longleaf Tavern will be a full service, 3,100 sf bar focusing on the best of North Carolina beer, cider, wine and spirits. Longleaf Tavern will become a favorite destination for locals and travelers to pick up their favorite NC offerings and fill your growler on the way to the beach!

Award winning chef and restaurateur, Akhtar Nawab and his company, Hospitality HQ, will also oversee all management and operations, from design and culinary development, to day-to-day logistics, marketing, events, programming and guest services.
