Where to eat and drink in Sanford and Lee County. Most rows come from the Visit Sanford NC directory, which gives names, addresses and categories but not hours or prices, so those are labeled Not confirmed. A blank link means the directory points that business only to social media, which we do not link.
Anything marked “Not confirmed” was not stated on an official page when we looked. Check with the organizer or business before you go.
