Been trying to go here for a couple of months. It just hasn’t worked out on our trips to Durham. Well worth the wait. First of all everyone there was extremely nice, friendly and helpful. Ordered out food and it came out quickly and steaming hot. That chicken was crispy, hot and juicy. Highly highly recommend. Told the folks we’ll be seeing them again in a couple weeks when we get back into town.

Absolutely loved my first experience at the Chicken Hut! From walking in, to ordering, and to eating was nothing but a great time. I was warmly greeted by the staff as they told me the meats and sides they had available. I went with their fried chicken and I was told it would be about ten minutes, but I did not mind waiting. For my sides I got their greens and Mac and cheese. Their plates also include either a roll or hushpuppies; so I went with the hushpuppies. And I am so glad that I did!The hushpuppies were the major highlight of my plate. They were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. With the hot sauce added it made them pop even more. I quickly ate most of them before my meal was over. The fried chicken was also amazing. It was not overly salty or seasoned and had an amazing crunch. It comes out pipping hot, so I had to take my time with each bite, but it was so worth it.The greens were light and seasoned well. I like that they were not super soft and had a great texture and depth. I could literally just eat their greens and hushpuppies and be so happy!The only side that I thought could use some love was their Mac and cheese. I thought it could've had more seasoning and cheese. It was a little plain.I love that the Chicken Hut is still here serving great food for 65 years! Their love for the community shows in their stellar customer service, fun atomosphere (the music was a mix of 70s/80s rnb that made me not want to go back to work!), and their warmth! I will be back for more food soon!
I was intrigued to visit this eatery by a YouTuber and my uncle. This spot has been here in my local area all of my life, but I never thought about stopping by. I was disappointed they only accept cash, so, I had to leave, find an ATM to get cash. I return, there's no printed menu to review... I look past that, anticipating the food. I ordered a fried chicken plate. It had (2) pieces of chicken, (2) sides - I ordered double collards. It comes with bread and a beverage. I chose lemonade. The fried chicken was cooked PERFECTLY; collards not seasoned to my liking; lemonade was PERFECT. I will go again, eventually. All I want is a chicken sandwich (didn't know it was an option at the time)...The staff were very friendly and helpful.....

Best chicken in the triangle! The owners are super friendly and the restaurant is clean and well maintained. The only downside of eating here is that there are so many amazing options for sides and mains that it’s a hurdle choosing what to get. Chicken is fried fresh when you order so it always comes out hot and perfectly cooked. My coworkers and I went and tried almost every dish they had - ALL were 10/10. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Not sure what's really going on, but normally I order the same thing every visit, but they never have what I want. For the past several months, they haven't had fried chicken breasts for the white meat sandwich. That was really the only thing that looks and tastes good to me. So, for that reason, I lost interest in going here.

Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service. Everyone was extremely nice and checked on us often. Great experience.
First meal in NC for me!Friends took me here and it was their first time too, but it came highly recommended. Ordering is like a cafeteria line. Staff at the front takes your order of protein/sides, and you wait for them to put it together.I opted for a fried chicken plate which included full wings and drums, collard greens, and mac and cheese. The fried chicken is fried fresh, and comes out piping hot! Chicken is juicy and the crunch is perfect. I enjoyed the mac and cheese the most out of the sides.Staff was friendly and offered us complimentary cake as well since it was our first time.These plates come large...so I would actually share a plate with one other person.Parking lot attached as well. Definitely a must visit when you're in the Durham area!

Came into NC to visit my sister who lives in Raleigh. I had been asking for some good southern fried chicken to eat. She took me the Chicken Hut. Got their early and not to soon place had a line. They are a cash only business and we were greeted by a wonderful lady who spoke to us like we were family. Walked in and saw it was buffet style service. I ordered the beef BBQ rib plate... so good...see the picture...Deliciousness all over that plate. Tender and savory. I ordered their fried chicken as well and that was some yummy chicken. At the end they asked where we were from and I said San Diego. They thanked us for coming to their restaurant from a far away as we come. Gave us a chocolate and banana cake on the house. That small place has a big heart for filling your stomach and making you feel like you were family enjoying a meal together.
