“Visiting Weldon Mills Distillery was truly an unforgettable experience. The tour was nothing short of amazing — not only was it incredibly educational, but it was also engaging from start to finish. You can really feel the passion and craftsmanship behind every step of their process, and the guides do a fantastic job of bringing the history and science of distilling to life. Customer service was top notch. Everyone we met was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making us feel right at home the moment we walked in. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about the quality of their product and the experience of their guests. And the drinks? Absolutely incredible. Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon lover or just curious to try something new, their spirits are smooth, flavorful, and expertly crafted. Each pour tells a story, and it’s clear why Weldon Mills is earning a reputation as one of the best distilleries in the region. Highly recommend this stop to anyone traveling through North Carolina — you won’t be disappointed.“

“The Bean Flower is hands down the best boba shop in the triangle, and I love putting money in the pocket for a born and bred Durham biz owner- a real person not a corporation. CC and her team worked really hard on this menu, and it shows. The specials are really unique and delicious (chai nog, corn milk, and the malted orange hot chocolate have been standouts). But the main reason I go is for the chai. It's really authentic, sweet, spicy, and delicious.

I can tell that CC and her team are genuinely community driven and I'm so glad we have this spot in Durham.“

“Great place for delicious beers! Great atmosphere and staff! Will definitely be back now that they’re in Gastonia“

“We had an absolutely great experience here. We picked it on a whim but so very glad we did! The beers were excellent, with a really good variety available and the food was probably some of the best I've ever had at a brewery. The Cuban sandwich was super tasty and the Cajun-seasoned fries were ridiculously good. It's a nice space, too. Plenty of seating inside and outside. I dearly wish I lived closer so I could go again.“

“Chill and eclectic inside, this is a nice place to grab a beer and snack. Ash was very friendly and a quick server. I ordered the Double Opacity, it was tasty. They have lots of themed nights and events, will have to come back and check some of them out“

“Always great food and great service“

“Lunch yesterday Cesar salad vert good Eggplant parm excellent Pasta with meatballs excellent Pasta cooked as requested al dente---sauce very good Will be going back Best eggplant parm we had in the triangle Worth a trip for lunch or dinner“

“Came here with my older kids to see an artist they love. Staff was chill, the building temperate despite all the other people in attendance. The venue was easy to find, provided water during the show (more venues need this!!) and in the end we all had a great time.“

“I love Boxcar! It’s such a fun night out. They have a great selection of drinks and games and the outdoor seating is expansive when it is nice outside. They sometimes have live entertainment too - accidentally showed up during a drag show which was a fun surprise! One of the Guitar Hero guitars doesn’t really work well though… so might want to put up a sign so people don’t get frustrated 😅“

“Friendly staff and great food. Was worth the wait.“

“Awesome beer selection, atmosphere & live music!“

“Let me tell you chef ??!!!!! My daughter was there about 2 weeks ago for a college tour. She came home telling us about Vittles at the Park. She is a picky eater and she talked about was the Cajun Catfish. Here we are 2 wks latter, with other family members and we all were thoroughly pleased with those at the front counter to everything we ate. I had the flounder combo with 2 sides (collards and candied yams). I opened up my dinner and I know I wasn’t going to finish it all because there were 3 nice size pieces of fish. I started eating before you know it all was gone. That’s how good the food was. When we’re back in town we will definitely be back & we have more family members accompanying us as well.“

“The absolute best place for authentic Latin food. We eat there weekly and the food and service has always been consistent. I highly recommend the tamales and pastor tacos.“

“My partner and I dropped in to make a to-go order before seeing a show nearby. Our food was taking a bit longer than expected to come out, and we unfortunately had to leave before it was prepared. They immediately offered us a refund, but ended up bringing the food on our way out! We ate every bite on the walk to our show! Kind staff, good food :)“

“If you’re in the area and you like beer, you must go here. The knowledge of the beer-making process seems to be the core of Beer Tooth (which is pretty important for a good brew). I’ve learned so much and appreciated the process more than I thought I would. Friendly staff, chill vibe, and you’ll almost always meet a cute puppy.“

“One of the best smash burgers I’ve ever had. Wouldn’t change a thing on the Classic!“
