Open mic on Wednesday nights at the Blue Note Grill is the hottest spot in the Triangle for grown-up folks! Awesome job Brett Chambers and The Usual Suspects. The wait staff is overwhelmed but most of them do their best to handle the large, thirsty crowd. But, if you can get past the rudest, nastiest woman at the front desk, the music and dancing make up for average food and adequate service.

Eating the ribs at The Blue Note Grill will make an atheist believe in God. This is a fact. The beans and cole slaw were both exceptional. I am convinced the hushpuppies were made by actual angels. The fried okra was solid. Our server said that is their most popular side item. The banana pudding poke cake looked amazing, but I was stuffed to the gills. The atmosphere was kinda funky and laid-back. I plan to come back soon for some live music and to explore more menu items. Many many many more menu items. Do yourself a favor and visit The Blue Note. I took half a rack of ribs home and they were delicious the next day.Parking: We were there a little early on a Saturday and parked very close to the restaurant.
Live musicians were great, and the Catfish Po'Boy is to die for.

Went there to have dinner and hear live music. The BBQ, cole slaw and Brunswick stew were delicious! And the band, Sayer McShane, was outstanding. Very talented and fun.

Really good food in a great atmosphere with great service. I plan to visit again soon to support this great local restaurant and music venue because they recently lost their dedicated parking area to an apartment developer in downtown Durham?. BUT there are still no-cost on-street parking options close by. Don't miss out!Parking: Get there early on nights when live music happens to ensure good parking.
Ribs were outstanding!
