Apparently I went into detail in the other thread about Durham -- all of that is still relevant
Chapel Hill, I can make a few recommendations. I love Mama Dip's when I'm craving soul food. Elaine's on Franklin is a nice place, probably would need reservations. I've heard great things from friends about Lantern, but I haven't been myself. Vimala's is really good Indian food if you like Indian food. There's a Tyler's Taproom in Carrboro -- great beer selection and excellent bar food.
My girlfriend loves Top of the Hill. She enjoys the food and that they brew their own beer. I'm not as impressed as she is, but I suppose it's worth mentioning. For my money, I prefer Carolina Brewery in terms of local places that brew their own beer. Los Potrillos is her favorite Mexican restaurant -- it's pretty good and the margaritas are pretty good too, so if you decide that's what you're craving it's worth exploring.
Spotted Dog is a great spot in Carrboro. I've also heard good things about Milltown but I can't speak from personal experience.
As for bars, Franklin Street is your best bet if you're just looking for the college/party atmosphere. Graduation was Saturday, though, so I don't know how active things will be.
I can't really speak to Raleigh as I don't make it over there all that much.
ETA: Carrboro Beverage Company for beer purchasing needs.
