“Growing up I enjoyed frozen custard from Abbott’s on Lake Ave in Rochester NY. Whit’s is a good close #2. I can never decide - chocolate or vanilla cone. ❤️ or you can get 2 scoops and not decide. They are both delicious. I saw a banana split coming out and was rather envious. It looked fabulous and according to the 2 sharing it — it was that good.The atmosphere in the Nash Street area in Hillsborough is much changed from my time working downtown. A much needed good change. Hillsborough BBQ and Whit’s are a great combo for a night out in the quaint town of Hillsborough. So much has stayed the same, so much has changed. Stop here to bring back some childhood memories.“

Muffin

“I bought two muffins and two cookies.Even though it was a weekday morning before 10 o'clock, the store was crowded with people. It was lively.The orange muffins were the best I've had since coming to North Carolina. It was moist on the inside and crispy on the outside, and the orange scent spread gently in my mouth, relieving afternoon fatigue.It's so delicious that I'm writing a review right away.I didn't drink coffee because the waiting line was long, but I'll have to order a latte next time.The atmosphere of the store is also cozy. It was also a great pleasure to look at the cute goods.The member who took the order was also a very nice person. I live in Chapel Hill but go to Hillsboro often. Because there are a lot of great places like Cup-A-Joe.Parking: There is a free parking building a 5-minute walk away.“

The wings are really delicious and the people are so nice who work there! My only complaint is that the fries tend to be on the mushy side and don't travel well for take out or take home.“

“The New Hope Market is a half hour from our home, but we go several times a month. Excellent food, which we can take home or eat there. So many delicious to-go items/salads and great daily specials (today’s Korean fried chicken sandwich was amazing, as was the potato corn soup). And the desserts are out of this world, changing daily, with tons of variety. My favorite local eatery.“

“We love the buffet! Unfortunately, the buffet switched from weekdays to the weekend. We still prefer this Indian buffet over all the other in the area. The buffet changes daily, and there's always plenty of good vegetarian and meat options. They also separate the meat and vegetarian options at the buffet, which I think is a big plus. Not all their food is spicy, but some is. If you like spice, this is the Indian restaurant to try.Vegetarian options: One section of the bar is completely vegetarian!Parking: Never an issue with parking“

“For a restaurant that was described as “concerningly Asian” by the couple next to me, this was a lovely experience. I found the level of Asian-ness to be perfectly acceptable for Durham, NC - and in fact it was pretty standard as far as Thai restaurants go.The entire front of house was run by one man. I do not know his name, but he is my personal hero. He was seating tables, taking orders, running food, refilling drinks, and processing checks with more efficiency than a coordinated strike team. Now I hear what you’re thinking: “Hey Adrian, Coordinated Strike Teams don’t run restaurants.” And to that I say: Shut up. Overall, service gets five stars.The food was subtle but flavorful. I got the Thai Basil Fried Rice because my white posterior cannot handle much spicier than BBQ Sauce. It was not only incredibly flavorful and texture rich, but also satisfying. It was a perfect lunch portion. I’m a Big Boy so I tend to eat a bit more than most folks, so expect to get a to-go box. Five stars for food quality, portion, and flavor.The atmosphere was as expected. Picture any given asian restaurant in a strip mall. Now make it 5% cleaner. Perfect. You’ve just imagined the atmosphere of Twisted Noodles. I imagine the couple next to me was venturing outside their McDonald’s comfort zone to describe it the way they did. Four stars for atmosphere. It’s pleasant and inoffensive.Overall it’s a great lunch spot. I’ll definitely be back. And if you go, tip your server. He’s deep in the trenches from clock in to clock out, and it’s partially your fault. Five stars.“

“Shamefully it’s my family’s first time eating here despite being longtime Durhamites. Ordered takeout for my mom’s birthday and it was great! Order was ready when I requested and it actually stayed very warm the entire time I traveled back home (about 15 minutes away). I got a breakfast sandwich with fried egg, turkey sausage, and cheese on an English muffin. I was pleasantly surprised that it actually had not one but two turkey sausage patties in it! Not to mention the egg and perfectly melted cheese. Mom enjoyed her Perfect Big Bull Breakfast as well. Will definitely be back soon!“

It’s still my go-to but please keep the excellence high!“
