Barbeque Restaurants in Durham

“My family eats here about twice a month and we are usually very satisfied with our meals. However, yesterday, my husband ordered an 8 piece chicken family pack with 2 sides, 1/2 gallon of tea and some Bbq. Sounds good right? He brings the meal home and I immediately take a peek and grab a wing. I bit into it and it tasted different. I brought the wing up to my husband and asked if the batter looked different than what we usually get. Not only that but the taste was off. It tasted as if the chicken hadnt been seasoned at all. The only compliment i had was that it was “done.” I go down to fix the kids a plate and i took the covering off of the chicken and a few pieces were black- burned to a crisp- inedible. Which explained why the other chicken tasted bad. I told me husband the chicken was burned and he told me he had to wait a long time for the fresh chicken... and apparently the burned chicken was “fresh”. Out of 8 pieces of chicken only 4 were somewhat edible. I was happy we had the BBQ as the second meat but when i tasted it it was bland and dry. Like “i cant swallow dry”. Disappointed, we settled on eating the mac and cheese and green beans and tea. A 1/2 gallon of tea came with the meal, so they filled a gallon up half way which is perfectly fine. Well the tea was rancid. Ive never had “old tea” but this was the equivalent of spoiled milk. The mac and cheese was also bland and uneventful. The kids ate the green beans. I didnt get to taste those but since the kids ate them, I assume they were good. Everything else was trashed. We would have taken it back if we had discovered the monstrosity of it all before it closed. I am HIGHLY disappointed and have never had a problem with inconsistencies in taste until now, but this was enough to stop me from going back.“

“I love Latino Tacos, especially for the hamburgers, I have never found another place with those hamburgers that it seems like I am eating in Mexico, I love them, the delicious hot dogs. 100% professional and recommended

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly staff.“

“please lose the QR menus. I agree with the baby boomers this is a terrible way to have menus. I literally want to just give you money for food and yall are making it very difficult. its 100 degrees outside, open your dining room already.“

“Amazing food and friendly people! 10/10 recommended“

“Had the brisket and bbq platter and it was good. I’m stuffed!“

“CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM.

Hushpuppies were outstanding. I ordered the Spicy Buffalo Bone in Wings. Sauce was phenomenal, fall of the bone tender with a great fried crispy coating. Loaded baked totato and brisket sandwich also great. Chopped BBQ phenomenal. Not sure how I had never been before. Kenzie our waitress was top notch. Didn't miss a single thing. Be sure to give her a big tip“

“Good barbecue sandwiches but it was a bit weird being served on Texas toast. This is North Carolina, why are you doing Texas things? But I'm an out-of--towner who doesn't know North Carolina BBQ from Texas BBQ so oh well. But it was good. Not great, but good. Sauce was good too. I had the vinegar sauce. Just remember to shake it up first. Sweet tea wasn't all that sweet considering this is the south but that's OK with me. But I was looking forward to some real southern hyper sweet tea and all I got was normal sweet tea. Boring, but fine I guess.

You order at a counter here and they serve you quickly and efficiently. I liked the hush puppies too. Like Hush Puppy in Shari Lewis, only a food. It is yummy. Reminds me of my childhood watching Lamb Chop, Charlie Horse, and Hush Puppy.

They have many booths and tables, more than enough.“

“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…“

“First time there. Lunch with one of my daughters. My daughter had Lolos pulled pork and I had the not a sloppy Joe. Both were excellent. Their meet is very tender amd juicy. The fries were average, the mak and cheese pretty good and the hush puppies above average. Will definitely be going again and trying different items.“

“My husband and I stopped in for a quick dinner and the pricing was really great. The service was amazing! The food was great, there’s so much variety!! The only thing that sucked was the combo we got there was a $2 up charge for ribs which we didn’t mind paying but you only get two ribs. Very meaty ribs that were probably the correct weight, it just didn’t seem enough. However, with that being said these ribs were amazing. All of the food was SO good, the variety of the sauces are great. No matter what you like, you’ll get it!!! 10/10 recommend!!!!“

“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.“

“Today Hog Heaven catered our family meal for my dad’s memorial service. Everything was delicious! They showed up on time with a smile. I appreciate having a local place to support that provides great service and food.“

“I had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and crispy Brussel sprouts and was off the chain really really good“

“Absolutely delicious food and amazing service!!! 10 out of 10 !!!“

“If you like home cooking. This place will not disappoint. I thought my momma could cook. I had fried chicken, turnip greens, and black eyed peas with hush puppies. I promise every mouthful was delicious.“

“Excellent food. Great service.“

“This was my first time visiting, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. You can really taste the care and quality in each menu item, and the signature bibimbap did not disappoint.

Above all, the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. They greeted each customer warmly and gave thoughtful recommendations, which made the experience even more enjoyable and comfortable — even for a first-time guest like me.

The restaurant itself is cozy and very clean, making it a great spot whether you’re dining alone or with friends and family. The food, service, and atmosphere were all wonderful. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal!“

“I love a good ribeye, Tony Roma's served me the best, most perfectly cooked, tender ribeye I have EVER eaten in my life! The mashed potatoes and green beans were perfect as well! This was a fantastic meal and our server Vee was fantastic as well. we left miserably full and we will be going back!“

“Tastes great, service was quick.“

“Stephanie Food Truck was amazing! First of all, they came the day before to introduce themselves, make sure they knew the location to park the truck so there would be no delay, and they had enough people on hand to take care of the staff in a quick orderly fashion. On the day of our event, they showed up one hour early, staff filtered out and they served 111 people in an hour. The food was wonderful, Romero was so kind. The price, well let's just say - I was very pleased at the discount he offered and we WILL BE USING THEM AGAIN! Thank you Stephanie Food Truck, for a great experience, amazing food, fast service and gracious communication.DanielaNHS“
