Good lord! Some of the best food and nicest people you will ever meet! The chicken was perfect as were the sides. The staff made me feel at home and and welcome. You really can't ask for anything more!

Vegetarian options: go somewhere else.

Parking: park at the market across the street if you can't find street parking, but make it fast!

Utterly amazing food, exceptional service, and wonderful atmosphere. The owner is so kind and all the staff are warm and friendly. Without a doubt, THE BEST fried chicken here in Durham. Everything else we tried (oxtail, collards, cabbage and mac and cheese) were delicious. I have family coming to town next month and this is where I’m going to take them.

The Chicken Hut is a must visit! The crispiness and juiciness of the fresh fried chicken simply cannot be overstated. Hush puppies, mac and cheese, and cabbage were all wonderful as well. Service goes above and beyond. This family-owned business is a true gem of the community.

What an experience. I was greeted by very nice folks who were probably the owners of the place. The fried chicken was so juicy and crispy at the same time it was perfection. And the Mac was well seasoned and very tasty. The chocolate cake was soft and delicious.

Everything about this joint was absolutely amazing. I’m sorry to all the other spots, but this is the best fried chicken in North Carolina. Me and my big back will be back for more.

If the wonderful smell of the food coming from the bldg isn't enough to draw you in, then I don't know what else would.

We just returned from Sunday dinner, and we still can't stop saying, "Mmm, that's was so good!" Seriously, the flavor of the food is beyond incredible, and the staff is so kind and friendly. You know these are recipes passed down from granny to child to grandchild because of how amazing they are.

The smothered pork chops are so tender that you barely need a knife, and the gravy is heaven. The cabbage is so buttery and soft, and the crunchy fried chicken will leave you wanting more. Even the desserts are homemade. It's all melt in your mouth goodness from one bite to the next.

The Chicken Hut is a true gem, and as more and more Durhamite's and visitors learn of it, they find out what the rest of us already know. It's not to be missed!

Come prepared cos it's Cash Only and no ATM on site. Eat in or take out.

Parking: Limited parking in the rear of the building.

I've been a loyal customer of The Chicken Hut for years, and I can't get enough of their food and service. The staff is incredibly friendly—they recognize me as soon as I walk in and often know my order before I even say a word! I've introduced countless friends, family members, and coworkers to this gem, and I've even featured them on my Instagram and TikTok. Every visit is filled with great conversations, not just with the staff, but with other patrons as well. Some of the staff even remember personal details like my birthday, which makes the experience even more special. As long as The Chicken Hut is around, I’ll be a regular customer!

Fried chicken, greens and mac & cheese. Chicken fried to order deli y. Greens seasoned well added a splash of vinegar. Mac & cheese creamy and awesome flavor. Bug juice, like I remember as a child (a little too sweet for the adult me), still good though. Food was hot, the way food be. Everyone was very friendly, staff as well as patrons. Will be going back to try their Oxtails,yum!!!!
