Tobacco Road Sports Cafe

Great experience. Joined the waistline online but still had a 20 min wait after arriving which wasn't bad. Good food. Excellent server

Greek Lemon Pepper Chicken DELICIOUS!!

Terrible experience, absolutely avoid this place! We waited for a full 40 minutes just to get our food, which is ridiculously slow. To make matters worse, when the food finally arrived, they didn't even give us utensils! I had to get up and track someone down just to ask for them. After all that waiting and terrible service, the food itself tasted awful. A complete waste of time and money. I will never be coming back here again!

The waiting period for food was too long and utensils did not even come with the food so we had to ask for them.

The food was not good either. I ordered Durham Bull Burger. The buns smelled like cleaning rag used in the kitchen. I had diarrhea afterwards so I really am concerned about the sanitary condition in the kitchen.

We arrived on what was a busy sports night. We were told that our wait would be 30-35 minutes.So we went to the bar to get some drinks while we waited. The bar staff inside was horrible and seemed like they did not want to be there… not really a vibe you want to encounter when you are out for a good time. Thankfully, the bartender that was outside was wonderful and friendly, although her bar was very lacking of important things, We made it to 45 minutes.. so I approach the hostess to ask how much longer or would be. I was told with significant attitude that it would be an additional 30 to 40 minutes. When it was pointed out that she quoted 30/
35 minutes… I was told “well I can’t help how long some one sits at a treble. THAT IS TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL. We finally got a seat outside… but it took over 15 minutes for a server to come and greet our table. There are many things that would make this business better but it would seem the the staff would not care to hear it.

Honestly the overall experience was horrible and inwmjoyae.

I understand they are busy but there is no point to an online waitlist when they put you behind people in restaurant until you arrive. Especially because per their website, no reservations are allowed for under 8 people. I had us on the online waitlist for an hour, then had to wait in person for 40 minutes with no updates. On asking, specifying that I need to know if we can wait and make our DPAC show- the number of parties in front of us had not changed. If you don’t have many tables to accommodate groups larger than 4, then you cannot have large groups use a waitlist. Poor communication and left us in a bind to find food elsewhere last minute. If you want to make a game or show, be sure to show up 4 hours beforehand!

We had a great experience from start to finish!! From the welcoming into the restaurant and with our server Bria!! It was such a vibe seating out on the deck overlooking the Durham Bulls Stadium!! The food was spectacular!!

The process to get a table was horrific!

Good food and outside seating during a Durham Bulls game is excellent!!!! I even caught a home run ball to go with the home run food!!!

Used the online call ahead service, only waited about ten minutes once we got there.
Service was great, server communicated well
Drinks were cold and the food was hot!

On my first visit, I ordered one of fried chicken thigh sandwiches, which was really good. Someone else in the group ordered the Surf & Surf and it looked so good I wish I would have ordered it. Second visit, I ordered the Surf & Surf and it was better than I expected. I hope this review doesn't make them raise the price. I'm coming back soon.

The food was pretty good, but the service was practically nonexistent. I came in during the late afternoon when there were only about four tables occupied, so it wasn’t busy at all. After about 45 minutes of waiting, I started to wonder if our waitress was ever going to come back to take our order. That’s when I noticed that not a single table had food yet.

I wasn’t in a rush, so I decided to just sit back and observe. Long story short: the food was good, but the service was terrible. It took about an hour and a half for our food to arrive—and we were just a table of two.

This might be an okay spot if you have plenty of time and nowhere to be. But if you’re stopping in on a lunch break or before a movie, I’d definitely recommend going somewhere else.

Great visit - here for the Garmin Durham Half Marathon. I expected it to be busy with everything going on this weekend in the city but there was no wait at the bar. Food was delicious and quick. In and out within 45 minutes - friendly service too by the bartenders. Only wish they played the game at the ballpark on one of the TVs!
