“I am a frequent visitor to Duke Hospital, and I have eaten at Bullocks Barbecue on 3 different occasions. I had full intentions on sampling their barbeque but saw some of the seafood dishes presented to fellow patrons and decided to go against the odds and see if it tasted as good as it looked. I have ordered the shrimp, oysters and other sea fare and it all has been Delicious. The establishment is no frills with memorabilia of famous celebrities who have dined at Bullocks. The wait staff and management are professional, friendly and just Good Folks. I will eventually try their barbecue it looks delicious. It's great to see iconic historic diners surviving and thriving in this very competitive environment. Give this restaurant a serious look, you will not regret it.“

“NEVER have I had a bad meal since about 2015,… Started eating here after my visit a DUMC… My ultimate favorite meal is the Brisket… So tender, and moist, the words cannot do it justice… Also. I like the pulled pork plate… and just the amount of servings… The Mac and Cheese is the best side but my wife argues the Collards are best… But can’t forget the baked beans and I like to add more of their great tasting BBQ Sauce… After all, they are the best in Durham…“

“Normally, my food is awesome...today not so much. I ordered ribs and brisket with fries and collards along with Texas toast. The sides and bread were the only thing that was great. The ribs and brisket were VERY dry. The brisket was so hard, that it almost had the texture of jerky. I was so disappointed 😞.“
