Overall cool spot. Burger was definitely good, but it’s annoying to pay extra for fries and should be illegal to charge extra for cheese. Enjoyed going once but probably not returning for 20 dollar hamburger and fries

It is of no small feat that I offer 5 stars to a restaurant as I have high expectations of the food I eat, so when I say that Dain's Place is among my favorite places to eat in Durham I do not want you to take the review lightly.
I have been going to Dain's place for well over 20 years at this point in my life, and while I fully admit that at first glance it just looks like your average run of the mill sports bar and pub, it will surprise you.
The service is outstanding, barkeeps keep your glasses full (as best they can on a busy night), and make sure your needs are met if sitting at a table.
The food... no frills... simple... but amazingly executed... their Angus burger is so good... good enough to make sure I stop through every time I come to town. This is not to mention their Tots, not sure how they managed to get something so simple to taste so good, but WOW, I highly recommend adding them as your side.
The atmosphere is good too, and the only thing I may have a gripe about... its small, little seating... game days/nights, be sure to get there early if you want a seat. It can get loud during games, but that's to be expected, otherwise its a pretty chill place the owner/manager of the place is a super cool guy.
Overall, I have nothing but high praises... they've obviously found the right combination early on and have managed to keep it the same for a couple decades thus far. Keep up the good work folks!

Mozz sticks came out burnt. Burger with LTO and fries with one beer for $39. Cool place, but crazy pricing for those items. Only downfall of the establishment.

Love the atmosphere of the place. We ordered an appetizer, two sodas, and two burgers, one with fries, and it came out to over $50. Good food, just too expensive.
