“Really enjoy the food and the people. One of my favorites. Eat there several times each week.“

“Karen was an amazing server! The food is great and the atmosphere is amazing.“

“I got the wedding cake cookie and an oatmeal cream pie. They totally blew my mind! A great balance of flavors and textures that can only be made by expert hands. No wonder they expanded into the next suite over! Not to mention the cashier was really nice - she even made a shy guy like me open up.“

“We came in to visit some friends and they recommended this place for brunch. It was absolutely AMAZING! They were really quick to get our food out to us and our server was very kind and attentive. I got the brisket and grits brunch option and WOW! The brisket was perfect and I'm typically pretty picky about meat quality. I also order grits anytime I go out to breakfast/brunch, because they are my favorite, and these were hands-down some of the best I've ever had! The only ones that came close were what I've had in New Orleans. 10/10 would come back to Durham just for this restaurant! We also got the beignets and my partner got the eggs Benedict with fried green tomatoes + blue crab! Everything was delicious! I just truly cannot emphasize enough how I will be dreaming of their brisket and grits until I can come back again.“

“This is the best southern home cooking I have had in a long time! The biscuits are so big and fluffy, the fried chicken and veggies were perfect. And the customer service from the owner was amazing! I highly recommend this place!“

Parking: Limited, paid street parking along a busy, main street adjacent to a popular college campus.“

“The staff here is always so friendly and vibrant. Their accommodations are always on point, like when they don’t have a certain side they will let you know and even go farther than needed with how they treat you. The drive thru is always so quick too. I love this place and always look forward to going here. I feel comfy as a person who hates social interactions cause of how cool the people are here.“

“I had brunch with my family today at Mama Dips in Chapel Hill. We were greeted by the warm and friendly manager who took us to a premier table. They quickly set up a high chair for my Grand Daughter. The food was delicious, fresh and perfectly cooked. I will be back with my family next time we are CH.“

“My wife and I were just blown away by the outstanding service we received yesterday at this location. We were greeted by Derek, R. He introduced himself to us and informed us that he will be our server and to please ask him if there is anything that we needed. He kept us informed as to our meals being ready and he was outstanding as to checking to see if everything was good with the meals and beverages. His appearance was greatly appropriate to include his clothing. He represented this company with the upmost professionalism. The foods were outstanding in being tasty and prepared just like the photos looked on the menu. We also had outstanding assistance from two workers who were restocking the gifts displayed in the lobby. Their interactions with us boosted my confidence in purchasing some gifts that we would have normally just walk over and never giving a thought in purchasing gifts from them. My wife and I will continue to be visiting that location whenever I happen to be in the area of their location.“
