It's a Southern thing - Downtown Durham offers a mix of good service and food, with some exceptions. While some guests have experienced small portions for high prices, others have had pleasant dining experiences with friendly and professional servers. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes, including the Pete Loaf and Salmon, as well as appetizers like fried green tomatoes. The ambiance is well-decorated and appealing, making it a good spot for drinks and a relaxed atmosphere. However, service can sometimes be slow and not very attentive, especially when the restaurant is busy. Portions can be small, such as the 7 wingettes in the appetizer, which are flavorful but may be considered overpriced for the amount. The country steak is flavorful, and the collard greens are seasoned well. The lemon drop from the bar is highly recommended. Many visitors enjoy dining here before shows at DPAC, praising the food and service, but some mention long wait times due to understaffing. Parking nearby can be expensive, though paid street parking is available. Overall, it's a place to enjoy drinks and ambiance, with some nights offering better experiences than others.
