You ever hear from your Ma, "Child you better eat something before you go to school!" I know I heard that a lot growing up! Two Eggs (fried, runny, scrambled, egg whites), choice of Bacon or Sausage, choice of Grits or Hashbrowns.

Waking up at my Nano and Poppo's house, the smell of those buttery grits always made me feel warm and cozy inside. This is a choose your own adventure! Comes with those buttery yellow grits and you can add on from there.

Sundays at Joe Russo's meant Mrs. B cooking for an army! The recipe comes from one of those afternoons. Eggplant sliced thin and rolled with Mozzarella Cheese and Prosciutto. Breaded and deep fried. Served with Red Gravy (or 'Marinara Sauce' to some). 3 per order.

Simple things done well! Romaine tossed with classic Caesar Dressing and Croutons. Finished with Parmesan Cheese.

Do yourself a favor and try the Pesto wings! I also tasted the Buffalo wings and they were equally good! Looking forward to trying an entree soon! I’d definitely rank them in my top 5 for late night Bull City eats!

We needed food pretty late night after a concert and Ma's hooked it up. Ot a few burgers and fries. The most delicious burger I've ever had.They're only open Thursday, Friday, Saturday from 8pm to 3am but the food is so delicious we went back the next night and tried the chicken cutlet which is also mega delicious.

Parking: Only 2 or 3 spaces but since its takeout /delivery only they dont stay occupied long

Ma’s Diner is the best late night spot to grab some food at in Durham in my opinion. The wings were simply amazing to say the least. Definitely a go to spot to hit up when you are craving something late nights. S/O to the owner on a balanced well put together menu!
