Great spot. The menu has so many options, comfort food to healthier decisions. One of the best burgers in the 919. All their seating is great. The rooftop patio is dynamite. Good for kids. Good for brunch. Good for Sunday Funday. Good for breakfast. Good for whatever. read more

I wish I had pictures of my food from this place!! But I don't but it was soo good but the best part THAT CARROT CAKE !!! Omg s/o to who I assume is the owner/manager may seem who told us it was home made freshly baked Carrot and double chocolate cake! I would just go back for that! That California sunrise mimosa was also very good! Loved it will be back! read more

Go to Grub Durham for a beer on the rooftop patio- that part is great and worth the stop. Great for a socially distanced outing. If you're looking for take-out, I recommend ordering via phone or website ahead of time. They really should set up 2 separate windows - one for picking up orders and one for ordering. Unfortunately, all the people picking up meals have to wait in a very long line with people ordering, and there's no shade. I ordered the Gobble Down (turkey) sandwich, and it was tasty but nothing too special. read more

Grub Durham - Gobble down sandwich - Southern Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Good fried mushroom sandwich (the "Townsend Bridge"). The soup was so so and the service questionable. All in all a good lunch though.

Honestly, this place was not what I expected. It was oddly advertised where I thought it would be quick bites and more beer..... but overall I would go back. It's created by the same owners as NOSH. The chips tastes the same-- freshly sliced and fried! I loved the bean salad over the coleslaw. And I would definitely recommend the Cubano and barracuda over the TREYmendous burger. The rooftop looks fun, but I didn't get the opportunity to go up because of the rain. But I can see drinking beers on the rooftop during sunsets. The restaurant's atmosphere is fun and comforting with warm lighting. They also have TVs with the food network playing in the background. However, my only complaint is that they have limited beers and are limited to burgers, salads, and smoothies. read more

I stopped by Grub for a quick dinner with several friends on a somewhat rainy evening. The space is really neat-- it's a converted service station with lots of outdoor seating and a rooftop area as well. Unfortunately for us, the weather wasn't great so we were vying for space inside. We managed to get a table although the line to order was pretty long. They don't have a set menu yet and even what they had was not totally correct (lots of substitutions), but I am sure this will get fixed. There was no drink menu and you could only order drinks at the register (which I hope they will fix as well). It looked like there was a walk-up window outside which will be nice to be able to order and take upstairs. The food was very similar to Nosh to me. I got the grilled chicken and it was good but it didn't blow me away. The salads looked delicious and fresh. I would like to go back when they have all of their sides available. Service was good but not great as they had trouble keeping our groups orders together. Again, I think all of this will get worked out with time (they have been pretty packed every time I have driven by). I definitely could feel the community vibe that they are going to and I think they will be a great addition to that part of town with the co-op across the street and Joe Van Gogh and Local Yogurt opening up next door. read more

I have been here a couple of times and the refilled my tea. But this time one of the employees was rude and was like we only do ONE REFILL. I told her last time they did twice they refilled my cup at the table. This place is a sit down place. I use to love this place intel I started getting attitude!! The lady said it as always been like that but it was not like that the last time and the time before! The food taste but does not out do the attitude this Lady gave me!! I will not be going Back!! But what's funny is that another staff member gave the guy a refill when he ask for one but the guy went to the counter multiple times to get refills I don't know why the lady was being so rude!! read more

This place is small but totally worth the wait. You wait in line and order your food at the counter then they bring it to your table. The cinnamon rolls were out of this world and served warm. They aren't doing water cups at this point during COVID so you do have to buy a water if you want one. I'd spend my money on their iced coffee instead it was really good. The biscuits are huge and everything else is classic breakfast foods. Can't wait to come back! read more

I have been to Grub Durham on at least three different occasions. A negative is that they are always busy and you'll have to wait to place your order. On the flip side, you will be glad you waited when your food finally arrives. I've been for breakfast and lunch, which are both yummy Most recently, I tried the Cubano, and it was finger-licking good! When you have the time, stop by Grub Durham for a delicious, filling meal. read more

Found this place while my daughter and I were shopping in Durham and thought we would give it a try. Upon first impression we felt a nice clean environment very welcoming, eclectic very friendly workers. Even though we were planning on getting lunch, I decided to get breakfast she decided to get lunch. I went for the breakfast sandwich with egg white and veggies and the barista gal behind the counter recommended the turkey with cranberry dressing he did. We both loved our food. Prices were great, we will return because the cocktail menu looked amazing with high-end alcohol and very very reasonable prices. Parking is very small but there is also parking on the street. Afterwards we drove over to Van Gogh coffee and had to coffee :-) I would say this was a win-win. This place has indoor and outdoor seating :-) read more

We ordered the best bird biscuit with fries and the cowgirl bowl. The biscuit is delicious, although I think the chicken and biscuit ratio can be adjusted. The biscuit is a little too thick. Cowgirl bowl is good, but could use a little more salt. Overall, it's a great brunch place! read more

So tasty! We stumbled upon this place today looking for a late lunch in downtown Durham and it did not disappoint.

Wi-Fi was great for a working meeting too! read more

All I can say is YUM! We stopped here for breakfast and LOVED the food. I ordered the beet goes on smoothie and best bird biscuit breakfast sandwich. The beet smoothie had the tartness of raspberries, the earthy beet flavor with the sweetness with vanilla yogurt and honey which was a perfect balance. The biscuit was flaky, buttery and fall apart melt in you mouth. The bacon was maple favored, with the pickles and chicken adding multiple flavors and textures rounding out a perfect breakfast sandwich. I like how it is a relaxed environment that you order when you walk in and are free to sit anywhere. There's a ton of outdoor seating but due to the weather we settled for a big booth. read more

I was really satisfied with the food at Grub, especially since I was able to get two meals for $21 dollars. The grits, biscuit, eggs, and bacon were absolutely delicious. The blueberry pancakes were pretty good and had fresh blueberries, but they were a little drier than I like my pancakes. I will definitely be coming back to try more food! read more

We came here on a Sunday for brunch in a group of five. We had to wait in line for fifty-five minutes just to have our order taken, which itself took another ten minutes. I was impressed that it took 10 minutes to order two biscuits and two drinks, but somehow, they made it possible. The food portions were very small. You can see the biscuit I ordered (Best Bird Biscuit), and the chicken portion is tiny. I've had single McNuggets that are bigger. The chicken was also very tough and not very flavorful. This place could be great with some changes to streamline the ordering process and increasing the portion sizes, but I don't expect to come back for a while. There are better brunch options for the price and way better service. read more

Excellent food at a great price point. Love that you can order at the counter or sit at the bar for full-service.

The friendly folks that brought us Nosh (which will soon re-open on Broad Street). A fun atmosphere (in a former gas station). Creatively upgraded comfort food in generous portions. The brisket sandwich, made with thick slices of corned beef cured in house, and the meat loaf with mashed potatoes and crispy brussels sprouts, are personal favorites. read more

Compared with the chicken biscuits that I have tried at Monuts, Rise and Sunrise, this one did not amaze me. It's kinda too sweet for me. Both the chicken and the biscuit are too dry. The environment and the staff there are nice, will probably come back and try other things on the menu. read more

Came here for a quick bite to eat after spending a morning at Duke gardens and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors and the staff welcome you to make the whole atmosphere where warm and welcoming. After placing our orders we soon got our orders of the fried chicken biscuit sandwiches -- also included bacon and a sweet pickled cucumber on top. Absolutely delicious. Buttery, flakey, curst with crisp and juicy fried chicken. We also tried to order some doughnuts but they had sold out and we couldn't wait the 20 minutes for the next batch to be made. We will definitely try to get these the next time we come! Overall, great place to eat and hang out with friends and family! read more

I love Piper's in the Park so I was very excited to try Grub. The ordering system is a cluster, it's too small of a spot especially when you do not know what you want to order. Luckily we went on a night that was not packed so the line and grabbing a table were not an issue. The food service was slow but everyone enjoyed their dishes. I ordered the salmon, it came with brussels sprouts and a twice baked potato. I wish it was warmer so we could have gone up to the rooftop. In the end, this is a cool spot. read more

I love everything about Grub! The nice lady at the register who greets everyone with a smile, the indoor/outdoor seating, the huge patio, the delectable donuts, the cold creamy iced coffee served with frozen coffee ice cubes, and the delicious breakfast choices that are cooked perfectly every time. My favorite is Maggie's Veggie bowl which has a base of stone ground cheddar grits topped with spinach, peppers, and roasted corn. They also make great traditional breakfast dishes like pancakes and breakfast plates with eggs, bacon, toast, and potatoes. Eating here feels like eating breakfast at my grandma's house back in the day when she would wake up on Sunday morning in a cooking mood. The food here is so satisfying and I love their values as well. It's a place that proudly welcomes everyone and that's something that really warms my heart. It's great for singles, couples, families with kids, people with dogs; basically all hungry people. The vibe is fabulously comfortable and I love love love this place. read more

Had brunch with my husband for an early birthday celebration and shared the tiny and the country road sandwich. Both were super delicious. Having just discovered sweet potato biscuits in the last year has really changed my world! The country road was a perfectly assembled biscuit sandwich, perfect blend of ham, cheese and mustard. The tiny is definitely the opposite, a very generous portion of the perfect peanut butter bagel. It's so perfect with the granola, banana, and drizzle of honey. Parking lot fits maybe 8 cars max, but we got lucky and snatched a spot, it does seem like most people street park in the vicinity. It was not super clear how this place works initially, but you walk in, get in line, order and then grab a seat. My husband got their cold brew which although was tasty are pre-made, so a bit of a bummer from the fancy description on the menu. read more

Great place to grab a grub! Visited for brunch on a cold Saturday afternoon. The place can be packed on weekends and they don't take reservations. We didn't have to wait much. You first place your order and then go find yourself a table. Me and my husband shared a table on their patio. It's a covered patio and they have heaters so that's good but the patio is a little cramped. There was not a lot of place to move around and that was probably the only negative thing. Food-wise, the service was quick despite it being crowded. We got a couple of smoothies, a sandwich, breakfast potatoes, and some veggie grits. I loved the grits. It was warm and packed with veggies. The breakfast potatoes were great too and so was the sandwich and smoothies. read more

Came for lunch with a group of friends and we were INTRIGUED by the concept of a gas station turned restaurant. It was so nicely remodeled and felt very inviting. I got their pastrami sandwich with a side of the corn salad. The pastrami sandwich was very dry in my opinion, but the bites that were full of beets was very delicious! I recommend getting the Barracuda, the aioli paired nicely with the cod and the crunch was unreal! The menu is extensive and you order at the front of the restaurant. read more

I gave Grub a year before I came back. Nothing changed as far as the discombobulated line, the confusing location of the menus, and the drink situation (cashier gives you drink, then you wander around looking for condiments for your coffee, and no refills on soda bc they're in cans). We waited patiently in the long line, with people walking in the door around people waiting in line, and everyone asking each other where they got menus. It was annoying and seems like it could a quick fix, but whatever. Also probably annoying for the people seated at the booths right near the line. I ordered the chopped salad and added chicken salad as protein (for additional $4). Husband got pancakes and sausage. We decided to give the rooftop a try, and we were pleasantly surprised- lots of seating, even in the shade. A little odd that they had two huge TVs outside on the roof, not really our thing, but whatever. We got our food, and my salad was missing the chicken salad. I mentioned this to the server and she took the salad and left. She came back a few minutes later with the same exact salad and told me they were out of chicken salad and were making more, but it would be 15 minutes. She asked me if I wanted egg salad instead. I said no, and she said "what do you want me to do?" I was at a loss. Should I ask for my $4 back or wait 15 minutes? It was awkward and odd and I felt like I'd done something wrong from her attitude. Were they just hoping I wouldn't notice the chicken salad was missing? She finally offered to bring me a chicken salad sandwich when it was ready and I agreed, but asked for it to go since I was hungry and wanted to get started on my chopped salad. I proceeded to eat my huge pile of greens and shredded cheddar, with the super thick dressing barely adding any moisture to the "chopped" salad. I wished I'd brought a little vinegar from home to thin it out a bit. It made me angry that they hadn't even tossed the salad in the dressing, and wanted to charge an extra 50 cents for "extra" dressing. My husband was also disappointed that they were so stingy with the syrup for his pancakes. We thought about other local restaurants that are more than generous with condiments and how this really adds to a meal and dining experience: NanaTaco, Deluxe Chicken, Namu, heck even ChikFilA! As I ate some more bone dry greens, and watched my husband stare sadly at his remaining bread, I mean pancakes, I thought to myself, "this is not a $30 meal." Sorry, Grub, you're not for me. Oh, the to go chicken salad was fine. Dry, but fine. read more

Such a fun and quirky spot outside of downtown Durham! You order first near the door, and then you can sit wherever on the inside or outside. I was afraid this wouldn't give me enough time to look over the whole menu, but the line is long enough to let you decide what to eat in time (if you're not too indecisive). YOU HAVE TO GET A CINNAMON ROLL. It was unbelievably good... I think they use a bit of almond extract in their frosting for a unique flavor, and it was perfect. The well-done burger was thick and juicy, and you could actually taste the spices on the meat. The breakfast potatoes were also good but didn't stand out from other restaurants. And lastly, the grits weren't great to us; we just ate the top layer that he cheese on it because the rest seemed flavorless (definitely still try them since this was my first time having grits and am not sure what to compare it to). I will definitely be here to get another cinnamon roll whenever I am in the area again! read more

We went up to Grub today and tried to order the pastrami sandwich, which is literally a featured menu item (highlighted in a red box in the middle of their menu). They were out of pastrami. This is the third time we've eaten there, and every time we have had to order a 2nd choice menu item because they are out of something. I also wanted a milkshake, but they were out of ice cream. I decided to get water instead, and was dismayed that the only water they serve is bottled Le Bleu (which they charge you for). We were not the only customers saddened by their wasteful bottled water practice. I will say that the food is really good. It just seems that they suffer from poor management and organization. We won't be going back for quite some time. read more

A great place for breakfast/brunch. We sat on the outdoor deck on the rooftop, which had a nice breeze. (There's also seating indoors and on the patio.) We had the Maggie's Veggie Bowl, Best Bird Biscuit, good coffee, and a delicious smoothie. Maggie's Veggie Bowl was delicious--stoneground cheddar grits, veggies and an egg--the egg was cooked perfectly as to integrate with the other ingredients. The grits were tasty and moist, and the veggies tasted fresh. We got the Best Bird Biscuit with hot sauce: fried chicken breast, maple pepper bacon, pickles, and honey drizzle on a buttermilk biscuit. The chicken was tender, a little messy to eat: the biscuit was dense and tasty but juice from the chicken and hot sauce turned into a hot mess, which was a good thing. The menu has something for everyone: a variety of breakfast sandwiches, breakfast bowls, smoothies, cocktails, coffee, and breakfast plates, such as flapjacks. We would definitely eat breakfast here again, and look forward to trying dinner. read more

I tried Grub for the first time this week and LET.ME.TELL.YOU. It was delicious. Every part of it!! I got their homemade peanut butter/cashew spread on a whole wheat bagel topped with granola and honey and bananas and MY GOODNESS it was too good. It was even toasted and warm when I got it delivered which was just what I didn't know I needed in my life. So, I highly recommend. SECONDLY I ordered these cheddar grits with sausage, peppers, scrambled eggs and green onions and it was so good, reminded me of my grandmothers casserole. The sausage had a little kick too which I appreciated. Thank you for my midweek pick me up and pleasant surprise! I will definitely be going back soon. :) read more

Grub is an old gas station turned restaurant. Whenever I come here I always get the chicken biscuit because unfortunately, no much else on the menu is appealing to me. The biscuit is good because you really can't go wrong with fried chicken on a biscuit. The good thing is they take reservations and can accommodate large parties. However, the line to order food can get really long at times. Additionally, I've been there before where after you order your food, all of the tables are taken and there's nowhere to sit. read more
