Keep coming back to the Grub because food here is consistently delicious and you can't go wrong with The Rocket breakfast! I love that they don't just give you crappy melons and grape like in other places for fruit. Here you get fresh blueberries, strawberries and pineapple. Also, that biscuit I will add, depending on when you go, get ready to wait. The line is sometimes out of the door. The service and the prices are good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, there's plenty of seating downstairs, outside or in the deck upstairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hope you check it out! read more

If 6 (or 7) stars was an option, Grub would get them all! Stopped by on our way back to our cars after running the Garmin 10k, and this place was an absolute delight!!! Great menu, friendly service, and the food was incredible!! All the breakfast favorites, and a biscuit I am STILL thinking about!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of seating, indoors and on a covered patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Quick service, even on this busy Saturday race morning. I wish I lived nearby, seems like it would be a fun place to be a "regular." read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute little brunch spot in the heart of Durham![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The concept is one where you order at the counter and then the servers bring out your items. This worked well until we were asked to wait several minutes for drinks because they were busy with food orders. The food itself was very good. We were all pleased with our meals and especially with the smoked wings. They have a house made ranch that is also top notch. I tried the cinnamon roll and wasn't impressed. The flavor was almost like it had a citrus hint to it. It says there are nuts in it on the menu but when I asked the server she shared there are in fact no nuts in the roll. Parking here can be a challenge due to the tiny lot but there is street parking available as well. I will definitely be returning here when in the area. read more

Stopped by this place on a Sunday morning for brunch around 11 AM. There were about five people ahead of us, but the line moved quickly. You place your order at the front counter and can choose to sit either inside or outside while waiting for your food. We started with a coffee and a smoothie--both were absolutely delicious! For breakfast, we had the breakfast platter, which came with perfectly cooked over-medium eggs, sweet maple bacon, and flavorful breakfast potatoes. The only downside was the bagel, which was a bit too hard--likely over-toasted. We also tried the breakfast sandwich on a biscuit, and it was amazing! Very generous in size and packed with flavor. Can't wait to come back! read more

Grub Durham - West End Grit Bowl - Southern Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Stopped here for lunch while a group of us were in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its def a quick, stop and get a bite type of spot. Its not a place I would really recommend for anything fancy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It gives very much college town type of burger joint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat upstairs on the roof which wasn't the cleanest but it was fine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was actually pretty good. The staff was friendly-ish. The food is good enough that I'd do a to-go order but i wouldn't choose to go there again if Im looking for a sit down lunch. read more

We went here on a sunny Sunday morning and WHAT A TREAT! We waited in line for 10-15 minutes to order before we self-sat upstairs on the half covered/half open patio. It took a long while (20-30 minutes) to get our food out but the aesthetic and nice weather made it easy to kill time. The menu was a fun mix and match deal so things are affordable enough to get 2-3 on the menu. My breakfast was fresh and delicious. 10/10 on the biscuit! We will definitely return! read more

Scrumptious food! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Trendy, cozy atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wicked fast service! Reasonable prices! This place has it all!!! I ordered the biscuit and gravy. I love this dish and this is one of my favorite examples of all time! Perfect biscuit with crispy exterior, crumbly texture and buttery rich flavor. It is covered with rich, creamy, buttery, savory gravy. This is heaven on a plate! I am watching my carbs, but have no regrets for this deluctable off-diet brunch. Their coffee is from local roaster and is really good quality. No bitterness, just smooth dark chocolate coffee goodness. Note: it wasn't a flavored coffee, just referring to its character. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have indoor seating, outdoor covered seating and covered/uncovered roofdeck seating. It offers a cool vibe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have been wanting to try grub on many past visits to Durham and gald I finally made it!!! read more

There is no parking. We circled around 3 times and could not find an available space so we left.

I've driven by here many times and always said I'll try it one day. Well this weekend we headed here and parking was crazy. It was packed but service was pretty decent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We decided to sit outside because the weather was perfect![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a decent menu that's not overwhelming and you can order any menu item any time of the day! I like that....we had the smoked wings, a burger and sweet potato fries. Everything was cool but the price was soooo affordable! read more

I really wanted to like this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is fantastic and I love that it's Queer-owned.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great but the food was not as good as I had hoped.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Typical fun college town bar and grill ambiance...very fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was excellent! I had the turkey sandwich with cranberry relish and my wife had the tremendous burger with bacon. Both of them were delicious and excellent! You order when you come in and then sit. They bring the food to you. The service was very nice but it's not a sit down service experience. Great place! read more

Very unique restaurant in the heart of Durham! Restaurant is order at the counter and an employee will bring you your food. I ordered the I've Been Chopped salad with honey balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The croutons were the best part because they're made from GRUB biscuits. Prices were very affordable too. The parking lot is SMALL so be prepared to possibly park on the street. The food was good, so I'd go again...but this place needs a good scrub because there were way too many flies inside. read more

Great place right by Duke gardens and the south-point mall. They have beautiful seating outside on the rooftop! The food was light and filling at the same time it all tasted fresh and not greasy. The service for our food was pretty quick felt like we barely waited. It was a but confusing for our first time bot knowing we had to order at the entrance before choosing our own seating. Overall pretty good place for brunch! read more

The food comes fast and is sooo savory! I had the breakfast 'Slammer' which consisted of turkey sausage, two eggs any style, ( I chose over easy) A buttermilk flapjack and a small bowl of cheese grits. The only thing I would change is that next time I'll add in cayenne pepper but other than that, this is a new go-to spot for me...!

Good brunch spot in Durham! Been here twice now and enjoyed both meals, but tbh nothing mind blowing. I've gotten the: - Wonder Woman Eats Her Veggies (flat egg whites, roasted red pepper sauce, spinach, peppers, caramelized onions & mushrooms on Texas 3-seed): Simple but tasty! Really liked the combo of fillings, the sauce, and the bread (it had a hint of sweetness!). Only con is that the bottom bread piece was a bit soggy by the time it got to me, but nothing egregious - Best Bird Biscuit (crunchy chicken breast, maple pepper bacon, Mama's bread & butter pickled and honey-butter drizzle on buttermilk biscuit): Liked all the fillings, but the biscuit was a little too crumbly for me - Blue Devil (house-made cashew-almond-peanut butter, blueberries, bananas, almond milk, vanilla whey protein): Really good smoothie, not too sweet - Mocha Latte: I wanted to try another smoothie, but with how cold it was outside, I knew hot coffee was the way to go haha. Good latte, not too sweet which allowed the mocha flavor to shine Ambiance is great; there's indoor seating downstairs & outdoor/covered seating upstairs. There are some parking spaces next to the restaurant, but you'll probably have to street park in the nearby residential area. Service is good; we had a pretty large group so it must have been stressful but they handled it relatively well. 7/10 would recommend! read more

Stopped here for breakfast in between medical tests. Very convenient to Duke and VA. My food (Maggie's Veggie Bowl) was delicious! Hubby enjoyed his slammer! The lunch and dinner menu has many options for me, which is rare. We will be back! read more

The experience started off amazing. All of the staff were incredibly friendly, kind, attentive, and very helpful with any questions I had about the menu. The food was great, and I truly felt welcomed by the team. However, everything changed the moment CAROL walked in. Her behavior was shocking and completely unprofessional. She was openly rude to her staff and repeatedly yelled in the main dining area for someone to be up front. Rather than handling the situation privately, she chose to humiliate her team in front of all the customers, which was uncomfortable and unnecessary. The staff deserves so much better, and customers shouldn't have to witness that kind of behavior. It definitely impacted the overall experience. With better management conduct, this would've easily been a 5-star visit. read more

Great brunch Second time I've been here and they make great brunch. Went for the rocket plate which was done right. Sausage was very juicy and taters are crispy. Added on a brioche cinnamon roll which was super soft. A tad sweet but I didn't mind. read more

Came for brunch on a Saturday morning. There was a line to order but it moved pretty quick. The food came out quick as well. I ordered The Rocket from the brunch menu. The eggs and potatoes were great but the turkey sausage was dry and bland. Overall, the food was good enough for the price, and I appreciated the quick service! read more

Good breakfast/brunch food. The best biscuits I've had in the triangle area. Would be a five star review, but the service is middling, and maybe a little unpleasant. That said, I'll likely be going back for the biscuits... read more

I just moved here and have trying burger places around the area. I've been here a couple times, the first time the food was great and my boyfriend and I gave the place a 10/10. We went today around 45 minutes before they closed for the night and we ordered two treymendous burgers med rare. The manager was so sweet! She took our order and told us it would be a couple of minutes. Since it was around the time they were closing we took it to go. When we got home the burgers were raw in the middle and we were so upset because they were so good the first time! read more

Today, eight of us stopped at Grub Durham for some lunch. We had a variety of items: 2 burgers, 2 Barracuda's (cod sandwiches), pimento cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato, a meatloaf dinner and a rib dinner. Our group placed our orders and then chose our table. We decided to eat outside on the upper floor. Our meals were delivered quickly by the waitress who took our order at the cash register. Everyone was pleased with their meals and the service. read more

It's has been about three months since I had a chance to come back the grub. My burger took way longer to prepare today. That was usual because the place was not packed. But, I think what susurprised me the most was the poor service, after my food taking a long time, I asked one of the staff if they could check on my food. I guessed she did, however I would not know because she never returned to fill me in. So I had to get up and asked about my order. Just a disappointment for this lunch hour. I will not be back, and I feel bad for Wendy because I know her standard of excellence is high. I also shared my concerns with the staff. Staffs interactions with all customers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I used to love eating here because it was inclusive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The number one reason and the food is good too. read more

Service was great, food was good, and you can definitely tell that all the items used fresh produce and homemade items.

What a fun place! Huge, rooftop deck and fun ambiance. An obvious favorite spot for Duke folks, this place is a must visit. First, you stand in line and yes, there will be a line to order your food! Once you get your chance, you are greeted with that Durham charm sprinkled with a bit of sarcasm and wit... Love it! We sat and the food was brought to us quickly. I had the Mama's Big Bird with Greek Couscous. Two pounded out chicken filets, breaded and fried. House made pickles and bacon. Just lovely. Couscous was good as well, next time will opt for the slaw. My wife had the Gobble Down with potatoes. Exactly what she was looking for, delicious! Of course we had a bottle of wine, because why not!? Excellent stop for sure. Worth noting, they are known for their burgers and as I saw them go by, I could see why... Next time! read more

Tried this place today for breakfast/brunch! As some other reviews mentioned, the chicken sandwich is small, and hard to eat (crumbly biscuit). But, I thought it was reasonable give the affordable price. I really liked my biscuit and smoothie here was pretty good too. My friend got the rocket plate, her grits were a bit bland. Not a ton of parking in the lot, but next to grub there is a street where allowed us to park in the shade along the road. Nothing fancy, but it's a cute place for a quick southern breakfast! Also wanted to add: They no long have brioche donuts!! Made me sad, but if you like cinnamon rolls they still have those and they are made from the same dough. read more
