Alright, so this is a hard one to write because I want it to be super positive but I've definitely…read moregot some critiques. Let's talk positives first. They have tons of options! And offer specials each day. Lots of meat options and veggie options. Including salad, which isn't always available in a homestyle southern restaurant. The roasted potatoes that are available only on Fridays were my favorite part of the platter. So flavorful and perfectly seasoned. The Mac n cheese was also very good. Creamy and cheesy. The hush puppies were HUGE and very crispy. Loved them. I ordered along with two coworkers. Coworker one is now in love with this place and wants to order at least once a week. Coworker two ordered meatloaf and said it was quite tasty. Negatives: Be prepared for the salt!!!!! We ordered from here twice. We got the chicken pie both times and it was wayyyyy to salty. The first order I was able to combine with the potatoes and Mac n cheese to make it edible. But the second order, all the sides were salty too and I ended up not being able to finish most of the plate. It was also disappointing because I'd ordered chicken tenders but received the chicken pie instead. While I'm wary of ordering in the future because the food is salty, my coworker loves it and we'll order again. Hopefully I can explore more of the menu and find the perfect dish and come back for a higher rating.

Real southern food!! The women there are so polite and they give out healthy portions.read more

So I asked yelp to recommend a place for a birthday dinner. This was the first on the list. So…read moresince I couldn't get a reservation on my birthday to the place I originally wanted to go, we decided to come here. There is plenty of parking on the backside of the building, paid parking out front, and be careful not to park in the apartment spaces on the side...they sounded pretty serious about towing. I had made a reservation but it was probably unnecessary as it was pretty empty when we arrived (it was about 5pm on a Saturday.) The waitress brought a bottle of water to the table and took our drink order. And I know that this place is literally call it's a Southern thing but can I mention how much I dislike drinking out of mason jars? I ordered the chicken n biscuits, my husband got the country hamburger steak plate, my BiL got wings, and my SiL got the crabcakes. We also orders charred jalapeno & sweet corn hushpuppies and frickles as an appetizer. I was VERY excited about my food. Y'all...the only thing that impressed me were the Frickles. Everything else was distinctly underwhelming. I also ordered Blackberry Betta Have My Money which was not that great. My SiL ordered a espresso martini that they said didn't come from a mix but she said it tasted like it was. The bathrooms were very clean. The decor and the vibe were great. Cute even. I really enjoyed that part of it. After dropping off our food, we never saw our waitress again unless we flagged her down for drink refills. It was especially frustrating since there was automatic gratuity added. And since the place wasn't that busy, it felt like she didn't feel the need to earn her automatic tip. Overall I was disappointed in my birthday dinner. I won't be coming back here.

Both were warm and flavorful. We had an abundance of pita bread to dip in the crap dip. The sauce with the frickles was fantastic. I ordered the Dr Pepper wings as my entree and they were fall of the bone tender. Something so different about smoked wings versus fried. I washed everything down with a Bull Durham beer and it was flavorful and a perfect pour. Parents got the smoked chicken and shrimp and grits. See the attached photos.

Very friendly waitress. I like how there are so many dishes to try out and you can get just a little or a large amount. Seems that mostly locals only know about it and it is a legacy restaurant handed down from the original Chason. They have some original signage / memorabilia hanging up inside from the original restaurant. First time my son ate some of those kinds of foods like chitlins- he didn't know what they were but still ate them. Nice experience.

I love supporting local businesses and the people here are always super friendly. This is a buffet, but they weigh the food and you pay by the pound. I thought it was all you can eat but found out differently today. I had my plate loaded with mostly veggies and one piece of chicken. It was more money than I expected and would normally spend for lunch, but I was really full when I was done. Got a piece of yellow cake with chocolate icing that was really good too. Not a fancy place but great food!

Today 12/22/25 My husband and I took our family visiting from out of town to Biscuitville, to eat…read moresince we are traveling to see other family. There were six of us one person in their seventies. We decided to eat in and then get on the road. After ordering our food I went to get us a table. All tables were dirty as well as the floor. They seemed to have been busy so okay perhaps understandable? I returned to the counter to ask the young lady who took our order if someone could clean off the table for us. She replied yes but after some time I had to ask again. I was told by another young lady that the young girl I had already asked would do it as soon as she had a chance. After several more minutes, I asked who the manager was? I told her that my sister in- law was now cleaning the tables but the floor was very dirty . She said, that someone would clean it but that they were very busy. Not sure about the drive thru but at that point only two persons were in the store. Finally the young lady came to clean the table when I asked if she could sweep under the table ,her exact words were, " we only do that at the end of the day". I did inform the manager who said this was wrong and that she needed more training. The floor was swept but I am disappointed even with the manager's attitude. If you have customers who want to dine in how is the cleanliness of your establishment less important than those who are ordering? Wouldn't you make sure that customers could sit and eat in a clean space a priority? Not a good look. Ty.

Next we ordered the cheeseburger lettuce and tomatoes, pickled red onions, pimento cheese and a green salad. All of our food was prepared well and the flavors were on target. They packed it up in two to go bags: one for chilled items and the other was for hot to go takeout. The service is accurate and efficient with fast takeout to go with assistance getting everything in the car in handicapped parking was a nice touch that showed empathy and compassion. I highly recommend Lucky 32 to everyone because our experience was 5 stars plus.

No complaints here. Everything was so good. We were too full to get dessert, but the options looked amazing. The restaurant is pretty big. Also has a pretty decent amount of parking. They also have outdoor seating which we did not partake in but looks like it would be nice on a warmer day. We will definitely come back!

They have a parking lot with like 4 or 5 parks but there is a parking lot behind the shopping center that is a quick walk to the restaurant. And the service was excellent. My friend had several questions and he did his best to answer them all and offer additional information. I'm definitely coming back to try other items.

We made a reservation and were seated upon arrival. Our host was Anthony, I think his name was, with a keen interest for ginkgo trees. He was very attentive, friendly and extremely helpful. He took her order and had some good suggestions. I was craving shrimp and grits which was probably the most unique shrimp and grits. I've had ever. Very distinct flavor and still very rich and familiar. The shrimp were large and juicy as well as remained crunchy overall cooked very well. We also had the summer tomato and burata salad which was really refreshing and delicious. My friend ordered the mac and cheese which is a hefty serving size. Definitely a shareable side or a main for one person. Our host came to check on us frequently, our Waters never went empty. Other hosts were also helping check in on us which was nice. The restaurant itself is large. Booth tables available, which made for a cozy environment. We ended the night with some brownie a la mode, which was the perfect dessert to have on a hot summer day. Overall the experience was amazing, great food and incredibly nice people. Definitely Miss miss the southern hospitality of Durham. Definitely recommend a try here at plum Southern kitchen & bar.

The menu had recently changed so we got to try quite a few new items. We tried the panzanella- sweet corn, red beans, heirloom tomato, patty pan squash, pea tendrills, and a roasted red pepper vinaigrette. This dish was my favorite of the night- small but shareable, entire dish was refreshing and all the flavors and textures went together so well. For dinner I ordered the roasted chicken and the baked mac and cheese with bacon. The roasted chicken was juicy and tasty, and a bit sweet with the bourbon ginger and plum reduction, but the mac and cheese seemed dry and overcooked. We also ordered the buttermilk cheddar biscuits- that taste slightly undercooked (in a good way), so the texture was soft and chewy (and amazing). The honey butter and large maldon salt granules made the biscuits perfect. They were so good we ordered a second order!! I would definitely return to Plum, for both the food and hospitality.
