    Grits Bowl
    Monica M.

    Mmm mmm good. Cute little cafe style breakfast/brunch spot. You order at the counter and seat yourself. They'll bring your food out when ready. The eggs Benedict was on point with flavor. Delicious hollandaise sauce though the egg was a little overcooked and not as runny as I usually prefer. The hash browns needed a lot of salt and pepper to get them up to flavor. The grits, however were delicious. Creamy cheesy goodness. Get here early on weekends, seating gets taken pretty quickly and we were stuck with a small table with little elbow room.

    Hangover Sandwhich

    Still a cute brunch spot!! This time I ordered a 3 Egg omelette with my choice of veggies and a side of grits! A main course and a latte run a total between $15-$20.

    Big Bull breakfast and a mocha latte
    Lee S.

    Top end breakfast options. Fast service for a place that does a lot of business. Comfortable and ample seating both indoors and out. Ideal feel for a diner.

    Perfect Big Bull Breakfast

    I got the big bull breakfast and it was so yummy and sooooo much food. The ooey gooey butter cake was so rich too much for me. I cannot wait to come again.

    Half Roast Beef Sandwich with half the Charleston $13
    Chrissy A.

    Had lunch here today with the bestie. I had never been but she had for breakfast and said she enjoyed it. The parking was a little busy during lunch hour...I had to circle a couple of times to find a spot. It shares a parking lot with a post office a couple of other eateries. The interior was cute but the acoustics made it a bit noisy. You go up to the front to order your food. They ask for a tip but all they do is punch in your order and bring your food. You have to get your own drink, napkins and silverware as well as bus your own dishes. I got half the Roast Beef sandwich with half of the Charleston salad. The sandwich was good...respectable ratio of meat and cheese. The salad was alright but this may sound odd, but it had a bit too much goat cheese. Like, almost made the salad DRY. And the balsamic vinaigrette was thicker than I'm used to. But it was decent for $13. Bestie got the Turkey & Brie with the Chappy. She said it was OK but not as good as their breakfast. An OK option for lunch but I feel there are may more options to try in the area.

    Iced chai and smores latte

    Food was great, coffee incredible. Try the smores latte!!!! Staff are kind and friendly.

    I treated myself breakfast today and got myself a chai latte and the huevos rancheros! I was there early enough that there was ample seating. There was no line, service was efficient and tasted really good! Thank you for a nice meal!

    I love discovering new restaurants! This place is so adorable! They have plenty of seating inside and outside. They offer a variety of healthy options! I went for lunch and had the shrimp and kale salad! The wait was a little long but there were a a lot of people inside. Service was decent; however I did not enjoy my salad. It had potential but was very dry and needed more dressing.

    Steak and eggs with loaded hash on the side
    Kentrel M.

    I wanted to take the time to review this restaurant because I had such a great experience. I got the steak, eggs, hash, peppers,onions , and cheese. While I know this is a simple meal you can mess it up trust me! I got the steak medium well and the eggs are over medium the flavors melded together so well. The steak is just so thick and delicious. I got my food super fast and the staff were so friendly. To state this because this means something in a town with so many restaurant, and places that do breakfast I came back for the first time since 2019 and it's not because it's not really good. I promise I will be back much soon the parking lot is huge as well and special parking for takeout orders only! The restaurant has outside space and the drinks were pouring this morning it's always fun seeing a full restaurant!! Thank you!!!

    Grits Bowl with Shrimp
    JJ C.

    Atmosphere: Bull and Bean is a brunch spot in Durham with a laid-back and relaxed feel. A nice spot to meet up with friends for a casual meal! It wasn't too busy when we arrived, but it may get difficult to find seating during peak brunch hours. Service: We ordered to-go and our food came out relatively quickly. If you're dining in, you order at the counter, and food is brought to your table. Food: We ordered the Grits Bowl with Shrimp and the Cuban Sandwich. We were big fans of the Grits Bowl! It was just cheesy enough and had a great balance of vegetables in addition to the juicy shrimp. The Cuban Sandwich was filling, and the pickles and dijon mustard gave a nice tangy flavor. While the sandwich was a bit salty, it was a solid pick overall. Overall: With great meals both for dine-in and takeout, Bull and Bean is a solid spot for brunch in Durham. We're looking forward to coming back and trying their specials!

    Egg, Meat and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich
    Shanelle Y.

    My friend and I came for the first time to try their Sunday brunch. The menu is pretty extensive and they offer and variety of different items. I chose a simple egg and meat sandwich and it came out pretty fast. The sandwich was yummy and not too expensive. I would for sure come back to try out their other items!

    Loaded Steak And Eggs
    Dontae B.

    Listen have you ever kissed the forehead of an angel? Yeah it's up there with that... Ok let me back up and simplify what I'm trying to say ... THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! And I'm a foodie. I had the breakfast burrito, i was sad when i finished it ... if I'm not mistaken and small tear may have came in my right eye... my wife had the Loaded Steak And Eggs and listen she's a cooking woman and she enjoyed her meal, enjoyed it so must she ate 99% of the steak before she even offered me a piece of it... we love to try new places and we are glad we chose here...and i only gave it 4 stars because no one is perfect

I came at 5:45 on a Monday (because no other places are open on Mondays!), and was one of maybe four me. In the place. The rest were moms with one or two (or more!) kids, some waiting for dad to join them after work. I ate in a covered patio that in a few months will be too hot to endure.

There are outside areas covered in open or tarps, clear flexi-glass walled off areas, and true "indoor" places you can watch TV in. Everything from Top Gear to REN & Stimpy.

It's kind of a bug and feature. They have the order from your table QR code set up where you can get drinks and food served to you either inside or out. The service is always quick and prompt. This place is great on a nice day. It's not somewhere I would typically seek out myself unless with friends (with kids) or hosting a small party (where there might be friends (with kids) attending.

Most of the seating is on a second-floor covered terrace, though there are tables inside as well. It has interesting city views of the University Hill area over South Square towards the "hypodermic building." There are parking options on all sides.

I've always had great sandwiches here at lunchtime, particularly the Santorini (a take on a gyro) and the Yacht Club, which is similar to a club sandwich but brightened up and made scrumptious by apricot jam. Their side of Caesar salad is always nice and crisp, with just the right amount of dressing and flavorful cheese shavings. The staff is engaged and attentive without going overboard.

The service was a bit slow and we unfortunately ended up having to go inside the restaurant to request the check to get to our next destination in time - however, staff were super friendly. Overall, the vibes outside were amazing and I would consider returning for drinks on a warm evening.

    "Sandwich shop just off University Dr in Durham"…read more Came here for an evening dinner with a friend. We arrived around 5:45pm, and there was ample parking, but I will say the place was HOPPING by the time we left at 6:30pm. The decor is very cute-- old-style, good seating and a bar area as well. You order at the table, and food comes to you. My dining mate got the Cypriot (Halloumi, Fig, Arugula, Tomato, Pesto) with a side of curly fries, and I wasn't very hungry so I got the Beyond Meat Chicken Tenders kids meal with a side salad. I also got a delicious bottled sparkling lemonade. Service was fine-- food comes after order, but you're mostly on your own once food is delivered, as expected. We got a couple of napkins with the food, but there are more self-serve up in the counter. Just don't expect someone to check on you or anything. The food was GREAT.
