Our story

A room with as much character as the plate.

Circa 1800 brings seasonal Southern cooking to one of downtown Fayetteville's most historic storefronts — a menu that moves with what's fresh, built around Carolina staples like bacon-braised collards, stone-ground grits, and blueberry moonshine barbecue.

The building came first. Cast-iron columns, a leaded glass transom, and a turquoise door that regulars spot from the far end of Person Street. We kept all of it, then filled it with the kind of food and drink worth crossing town for.

On the menu

A few favorites.

The Whole Table

Small plates, Carolina sides, and something for the middle of the table to argue over.

The bar

Five deep at the marble.

A spirit-forward cocktail list built on North Carolina distilleries, an award-winning wine selection, and a full lineup of local beer, bourbon, and tequila. Sit at the bar and let someone pick for you.
