Mike the Elder: Excellent fried chicken. Green tomatoes with goat cheese were ok. Fantastic brisket sandwich. Chicken & waffles only available for brunch. Friendly staff and a interesting wine menu.
Kyle Underwood: By far the best chicken and waffles in the city. The chicken is perfectly fried and seasoned and the waffle is heavenly. They can both stand on their own, but together...pure food magic.

Lovely Durham: Get the brisket sandwich. The cornbread is to die for.
AJC: The pulled pork is smokey, juicy, tender and has that wonderful bit of crisp you want. Douse it with some spicy vinegar sauce, order a moonshine cocktail and enjoy. Read more.
AJC: These folks get everything right, but their brisket and collards are especially divine. Collards should have a kick, give you a warm feeling and have the perfect touch of bacon. Win, win, win!! Read more.
