“Lunch food is great but the servings are meager.“

“We came in to visit some friends and they recommended this place for brunch. It was absolutely AMAZING! They were really quick to get our food out to us and our server was very kind and attentive. I got the brisket and grits brunch option and WOW! The brisket was perfect and I'm typically pretty picky about meat quality. I also order grits anytime I go out to breakfast/brunch, because they are my favorite, and these were hands-down some of the best I've ever had! The only ones that came close were what I've had in New Orleans. 10/10 would come back to Durham just for this restaurant! We also got the beignets and my partner got the eggs Benedict with fried green tomatoes + blue crab! Everything was delicious! I just truly cannot emphasize enough how I will be dreaming of their brisket and grits until I can come back again.“

“Great Grape Salad Friendly Staff Chicken Salads are outstanding Can’t go wrong“

“Anissa’s is truly a hidden gem of the Triangle. They make some of the best food in the area, period, the end. Especially if you’re trying to stay healthy, they have the freshest Acai bowls that they customize to your liking and no added sugar like other places. On top of that they have a loyalty card and after 10 berries, you can get a free bowl. The service is bar none, after my 3rd time they had my order memorized, which is why I go in once/twice a week!!!“

“What an amazing breakfast! The staff were super sweet and very helpful. The food was all incredible, whatever the tapenade was that came with the fried green tomatoes, it was spectacular. The only hard thing was choosing, that's ok, we will have to go back!“

“Fried chicken, greens and mac & cheese. Chicken fried to order deli y. Greens seasoned well added a splash of vinegar. Mac & cheese creamy and awesome flavor. Bug juice, like I remember as a child (a little too sweet for the adult me), still good though. Food was hot, the way food be. Everyone was very friendly, staff as well as patrons. Will be going back to try their Oxtails,yum!!!!“

“My sister and her family took me there for my birthday brinner and it was very tasty. Danielle the waitress was amazing. The mgr who shares my birth sign of virgo brought me a tasty dessert to celebrate and was very social and accepting even after a table of 7 walked in at 8:00pm. (Thank you) We had never been to any of the locations before and we decided to try this tonight. Everyone left extremely pleased with their selections all the way down to the ice tea and the virgin Bloody Mary. We all agreed we would be returning just not on weekend where it is 1 1/2 hr wait. 😳 Glad to have flying biscuit in the neighborhood. Thank you from all of us for a great experience and a new place to eat that we truly enjoyed. The Fields, Owens, Mclaughlin Families“

“Excellent cocktails and friendly staff.“

“Review: Scratch Kitchen & Taproom - Cary, NC We recently had an opportunity to dine at the Scratch Kitchen for lunch with family and the kids and wanted to share a few things about our experience. It was a Sunday afternoon, and we had options of picking from the Lunch menu and the Brunch menu, which provided a ton of options from breakfast, appetizers, salads, bowls, noodles, burgers, and entrees. The options were a bit overwhelming; at one point, several people at the table had to ask the waiter for recommendations because it was a bit too much. As a food critic, it is always very concerning when a restaurant has a ROBUST menu because it’s hard to be consistent with the food quality with extensive menus. Entrees Bibimbap Bowl - Seared Rice Bowl with Shaved and Marinated Ribeye Steak, Fresh Spinach, Carrots, Green Onions, Pickled Red Onions, Cucumbers and Over-Easy Egg. Served with Spicy Bib Sauce. This dish really had the perfect combination of flavors, blended together with the tenderness of the steak, the array of colors, tastes, and textures of the vegetables, and the rich, creamy egg overlay on top. My only complaint was that the spicy bib sauce was really spicy. Mind you, the waiter did warn us. It was more than expected. I love spicy, but others may find it overwhelming. Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Waffle-Battered Fried Chicken with Spicy Maple Syrup Aioli, Candied Bacon and House Pimento Cheese with Scratch-Made Pickles. Served on A Locally Made Brioche Bun. This waffle batter chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy, juicy and tender inside, and seasoned to perfection. The maple syrup aioli added an outstanding balance of heat and sweet flavors, adding the smoky sweet candied bacon, with the creamy richness of the pimento cheese and the contrast of flavors with the homemade pickles. The dish was the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and spicy to elevate this sandwich beyond normal expectations. Chicken Dutch Pancake - Dutch baby pancake baked in cast iron with hand-breaded fried chicken, fresh berries, and rosemary lemon maple syrup. I can’t really explain what this was. The fried chicken was a superior elevation, just like the sandwich, but the pancake was genuinely questionable. I think we were all very disappointed. My biggest challenge was the texture of the pancake; being more like a “flan” texture, I would almost call it a Flan Pancake. The saving grace of the dish was the flavor profile, with the sweetness of the berries mixed with rosemary maple syrup, which provided citrusy, earthy notes. It was a great blend of savory, sweet, and herbal flavors. OVERALL, it was a great experience. Surprisingly, with all the things on their menu, for the most part, the food was pretty good. I would definitely recommend going. Just dig a little and ask questions before you order.“

“Been a few times and the employees are always so kind and good is always hot and fast! Specifically want to give kuddos to the young man working the window at 6:30 on 6/28 I think his name was Jamal but forgot to get a good look at the name tag. He was so kind and actually seemed like he was enjoying his job! Not the norm for fast food places.“

“Southern Cooking with an uplifting flavor profile As you step into this restaurant, it exudes warmth, comfort, and charm, making you feel you are diving into an authentic southern experience. The service members were attentive but relaxed, providing a great experience and hospitality, knowledge of the menu, and a consistent experience during the entire visit. Overall, the food could be described as a classic southern dish elevated with new ingredients and flavors, bringing the dishes to a new level of taste, texture, and indulgence, capturing the true essence of the south with a more modern flair. Appetizer Fried Green Tomatoes. This is generally not my favorite dish, but the waiter recommended it as one of the staples. Every slice of tomato was perfectly crisp with a consistent golden color and crunch exterior with a tender, tangy interior. The bold flavors that topped the tomatoes between the spice of the Voodoo Sauce, the creamy richness of the blue cheese dressing, and the smoky crunch of bacon, this was a perfect blend, creating a remarkable rendition of a classic that even I loved. Entrees Braised Beef & Egg Sandwich. The main ingredient of the dish – braised beef – truly melted in your mouth, coupled with the creamy texture and flavor of the Havarti cheese, creating the perfect base for this complex dish. The light and fluffy scrambled eggs, coupled with the baby arugula, brought a creamy, peppery freshness that truly balanced the richness of the beef and cheese. This sandwich was placed between two slices of toasted challah bread bun, which provided a sweetness that complemented the overall savory aspects of the dish. Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf. Comfort food at its finest. The meatloaf was juicy and full of flavor, wrapped in the crispy, smoky bacon, creating a nice crunch with every bite you took. The rich gravy poured over the meatloaf was a spark of deliciousness, paired with onions to add a touch of sweetness to the dish. The flavors were well-balanced and really raised the bar for a classic meatloaf. Nestled in a bed of mashed potatoes and a side of shaved brussel sprouts brought in all the necessary components to provide perfect harmony in the entire dish. Overall If you are in need of comfort food and don’t want the same ole dishes, you need to take a chance and go to Lucky 32, which really raises the bar and the expectations of a true take on classic southern cuisine.“

“Excellent food and service. Always a pleasure.“

“I am shocked that I am giving a five star review to Bojangles. I placed an order in advance for 20 breakfast/chicken biscuits. I was so surprised when they were ready when I got there. I don’t know why I just didn’t expect it. I can’t really speak to the food because I did not eat it was delivering it to the staff of a senior care community and they seemed quite happy with it. They were professional when I placed the order and they took all the relevant information. I was very impressed overall.“

“I don’t come here often but when I did today, they didn’t have any BoRounds available and had to be cooked. I was waiting 5 min at the edge of the drive thru area and after about 10 dollars, the manager “Angelo”, came out with my food and apologized and provided me a reasonable credit for my wait. He acknowledged their delay and made sure I was pleased. This was done right in a day when most customer service is gone. Great job.“

“Awesome team, great food always and clean. Always enjoy me some Bo!“

“Great, fresh salads and friendly service.
I always get the greek or hummus salad with chicken.
The pitas are always warm, slightly crunchy outer with fluffy soft inner...yummm.. Chicken is very flavorful, tomatoes always rich red. I want to try their other offerings but the salad is so good i never try anything else. The service is very courteous and they ask you if you need anything at your table even though it isnt a sit down and serve you style place. Great place!“

“had been a few years since I had gone to Rise. didn't realize that the entire franchise had changed..now, very few donuts and a horrible and impersonal way of ordering. the apple fritter tastes like it was baked yesterday or at the very least 5 hours ago. even Dunkin donuts might be better and that's not saying much. RISE used to have the best donuts. they were unique and tasted fresh. not so anymore. I wouldn't return. I find it weird to order on a computer and pick up your food from a box with a door on it and then they deem to suggest you tip them for....for what? making the food that they already get paid to make? it's not like they're making waitress wages. I guess they're more known now for their biscuits, but either way...I wouldn't return based solely on the ordering experience.“

“A down home establishment with good cooking. Not fancy. Just good eats.

Parking: Parking around their building. Approximately 30 spaces available. Space for trucks with trailers in back, but not more than two or three at a time.“

“This place is the absolute best!! Aside from the fact the food was delicious and to our table so extremely fast, the staff were terrific! The atmosphere was relaxing, prices great! It's truly worth the drive. I can't wait to get a chance to come back!“

“Everything I have tried so far has tasted amazing. The Staff is attentive and very friendly. The new Karaoke was a blast. Every-other Friday. Next one is February 16th!“

“Wonderful fresh food and a lovely terrace where you can bring your dog!“
