    Amazing Food but the Smoked Chopped Chicken Sandwich and Chicken Wings with amazing crunch. Quick & Friendly Service with a great ambiance! Will be a return customer!

    First of all the service from the guy up front, fabulous. Pulled pork, brisket and turkey: you won't find better. Stopped on a whim passing through from TN and we will definitely stop again. We eat a lot of BBQ and smoke a lot and I've never had such good brisket and turkey. If you pass on this joint, you are missing out.

    We were in the area for other business and 'yelped' the best. Durham's came in at #1, so we decided to stop in. The food was fantastic!!!! Excellent iced tea - loved the blues music too!! Will definitely be back

    We had a great experience here. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was great as well. I had the 2 meat dinner with pulled pork and jalapeño sausage. It was great. The pulled pork was pulled by hand and the undesirable pieces remove such as fat. Personally, I don't mind a little fat here and there but some folks do, and care for a great presentation didn't go unnoticed. I highly recommend stopping by the place if you are in the mood for great BBQ.

    The man at the register knew we were not from the area and told us we were in trouble! He was right!!! The food was EXCELLENT!!! We got the pulled pork, meat loaf plate with their waffle fries and coleslaw. If you're driving through and are hungry for BBQ this place is a must! Ya'll will Thank me later! By the way this is the only place I have ever wanted or written a review for. The Staff was so friendly and welcoming! Can't wait to be in the area again!!!

    A wondful and professional staff experience.. You could smell the wonderful food soon as got out of the car. Their pulled pork is spot on!! The sauce is out of this world, pork was moist and not dried out like some other BBQ places. I would highly recommend pulled pork nacho's and the sweet heat sauce is a treat for the taste buds. I'm so impressed with the brisket, it was the best, most tender, flavorful brisket I ever had. Great job and I really love the down home hospitality I was shown. Love this place and will be back

    As a retired military couple, my wife and I have had the best BBQ our great nation has to offer during our adventures in Texas, Mississippi, North Carolina, Kansas City, and Tennessee (our forever home). Durham's ribs are world class - the best we have ever had! My wife ordered the ribs and was speechless through most of her meal other than "mmmm, oh my gosh, and WOW" slipping out. She shared two of her ribs with me and I wholeheartedly agree! The smoke flavor and dry rub was spectacular - I personally would never eat these ribs with sauce... they don't need it! I ordered the brisket and pulled chicken plate. The brisket was very moist, tender, and flavorful. The chicken held smoke flavor well and was the perfect canvas for their selection of house sauces. All of the sides were tasty and we highly recommend the baked beans. The staff was so welcoming, polite, and helpful. They clearly take pride in their product and love what they do. This is right off I-75 and worth stopping I'm anytime you're coming through Kentucky!

    April 2022 - Thank goodness Yelp directed me to this place! Many of the national chains had lousy reviews and so we took a chance on Durham's Pit BBQ. I had a Brisket BBQ sandwich and fries. My mother had a Pork BBQ sandwich and coleslaw. The food was outstanding! The brisket was tender, crunchy, spicy, etc. The service was quick and friendly. Busy place.

    Wow ! Haven't had BBQ like this in a long time. This made my night. I was just driving through the city. This is going to be a traditional stop when I drive through London. I am not sure what is better the ribs or the brisket. But I think the bourdon baked beans is what I am going to crave the most. I think I have some googling to do after this meal to try to at least try to figure out how to make this and make up the emptiness these bourbon beans are going to leave in my soul after this meal.

We arrived first and even though it was a little after 12:00 noon on a Saturday, we were promptly seated. Our server Desseray greeted us promptly, and we ordered iced teas while we waited for the son to arrive. It was a pleasant surprise to hear that both the peach and strawberry flavored teas came in unsweetened and sweetened versions! Hubby ordered the unsweetened peach tea and I enjoyed the strawberry tea. Both were delicious and thirst quenching. Hubby had the garlic tilapia and shrimp with a Caesar salad and red beans & rice, while I had a vegetable plate with the baked potato soup, broccoli casserole, mashed potatoes, baby carrots, and Southern green beans, and the son had a top sirloin steak with a Caesar salad and French fries. The Caesar salads were eaten before I could get pictures taken! All of the food was delicious, but I had to bring home the green beans and mashed potatoes for another meal. A piece of carrot cake went home with the birthday boy!", while Hubby and I brought home glasses of tea. Our server Desseray checked on us frequently, refilled Hubby's tea a few times, as well as offered to-go cups of tea, and overall provided great service for our experience. The deduction of one star is due to how the HVAC vents are positioned in the bar dining area such that air blows on diners in the booths, and the air felt cold today even with the heat on. It's not the first time that I've been cold due to this situation, but today Hubby sitting next to me instead of across from me blocked some of the air from hitting me, and I kept my scarf around my neck to block more. However, this problem is due to the design of the building and not the staff of the restaurant.

Even though they weren't busy at all they told us it'd be a 15 minute wait. We agreed and waited. They seemed annoyed that we didn't decide to leave. If I had it to do over again I would have. They took our order right away. I ordered 16 oz steak tips, fries, and salad. Price 24.99. The salad wasn't bad but the steak tips were mostly inedible (full of gristle that was rock hard). I should have sent it back when they first brought it out and it looked like something that someone had already tried to chew up once. They mostly stayed on top of our drink refills. I don't think I'll risk a 2nd experience at this establishment. The steak tips were the worst I've ever had. I didn't see any reason why we needed to wait 15 minutes other than it really seemed like they wanted us to leave. Also their restrooms are in the foyer between the main entrance and the 2nd set of doors. There wasn't any heat or hot water in the restrooms. Considering that it was less than 20 degrees outside, it made for a very uncomfortable experience.

I've been to a few BO locations. I like how this one displays local photography. I also liked how friendly the people were. But what I really liked was the food! We ordered the tailgate special, for $19.99. It consisted of 12 chicken tenders and 2 sides, biscuits and a half gallon of tea. They let us mix up between the regular tenders and Cajun style. Honestly there isn't much difference and I'm usually a sissy when it comes to spice. The bbq sauce is awesome and they gave us several containers. For our sides we chose 2 fries. The fries are perfectly seasoned and amazing. They sell the fry seasoning salt and I was tempted to buy a shaker of it, but I don't need help with eating fries, they are my weakness. The biscuits are excellent too. Everything was piping hot and 5 star fast food.

    I drove to this location of Bojangles because I was on business in London, KY; however, London, KY…read moreseems to have a serious layout problem when it comes to planting stop signs at certain side streets and even the entry to this place is kind of questionable. So it is located to the side of a road where the speed limit is like 45 mph (but you know people are going to be booking it at 55 and over) and not only that, the entrance only has a stop sign pointed towards anyone trying to exit out of it (This could easily be mistaken as a one way). Since businesses (and this goes for most businesses in KY) tend to have compartmentalized property, there is only one way in and one way out; there is no entrance if one were to come here through the neighboring McDonald's parking lot. The actual item I decided to get was the cajun filet chicken biscuit because some food website was raving about how it is a #1 item; however, I never noticed the cost of a biscuit. It is like $4.19! So with how expensive a biscuit sandwich is and the fact that it was so dry when I bit into it (tasty but dry); it would make sense why I gave it the rating that I did.
