    I ordered food from here some days ago but forgot to leave review my food was awful. 3-5 wings weren't cooked all the way my fries were cold tasted like I was chewing plastic. I was already home when I started eating the food and did not feel like driving over there again. Never going to this location again.

    Full Sweet Potato Waffle Fry; Honey BBQ boneless; Zesty Parmesan thighs
    Andrea A.

    Top relatively cheap, late night food spot in Durham! We got the 6-piece boneless Honey BBQ (classic, not too sweet), 3-piece thighs Zesty Garlic Parmesan (super zesty; the more I ate it, the more I liked the sauce haha), and Sweet Potato Waffle Fries with cinnamon sugar (perfection). Only notes are that the thighs were overcooked & they forgot to give us the blue cheese that we asked for (we got some ranch though so it was fine). Service is fast, ambiance is fine (there are some picnic tables, but we decided to take home). Free adjacent parking lot. 7.5/10 would recommend!

    Excited  to try

    Only seating is outside I got the Thai wings and they were cooked and sauced perfectly. They can be messy to eat and there are no bathroom facilities so suggest you buy a bottle of water to wash your hands. The fries were to die for! They will not disappoint. Food was a 5 No bathroom puts the ceiling at 3.

    Visiting from nyc. Wanted something quick for dinner. My partner is vegetarian so figured this would be perfect spot. Food: ordered the boneless (8piece) sweet Thai coconut chili wet sauce with the half order Idaho potato waffle fries with lemon pepper dry seasoning. These are the best waffle fries I've ever had. The boneless wings were good (all chicken breast). The sauce was a little too spicy for me (I am sensitive to spice but order it anyways) but the flavor was still great. Partner ordered the vegan chicken "wings" with same sauce which was pretty good and the half order sweet potato fries with sweet mesquite bbq dry seasoning. Best sweet potato waffle fries I've ever had... so crunchy and flavorful! Service: the person at the counter was nice and gave recommendations. Happy to serve new customers to the establishment. One thing I appreciate is the all in with the vegan option. They had the thought to also serve vegan ranch... many places will serve vegan "meat" but not consider vegan condiments. Much appreciated even though we didn't ask for it specifically. Price: I thought price was pretty decent for amount of food we got. Ambiance: I like the little sitting booth on the outside. Very simple and just a window to order from no indoor dining. Nothing fancy but up-kept and clean. Overall I will be back to try bone in wings and other sauces and dry seasonings!

    It was our first time trying out Heavenly Buffaloes so we called in with a few questions before placing our order. Our serve truly could not have been any nicer and was honestly our favorite thing about this spot. He was patient, listening to all of our questions and answering them all with so much information! He made some top notch recommendations so we went for the two most popular flavors he suggested: the heavenly buffalo and the thai coconut chili. We also got a large waffle fries to share and a tasty pink lemonade. The wings were very good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I loved the heavenly buffalo flavor which is their take on a classic hot wing. The thai coconut chili was also pretty good, but I wasn't a fan of the coconut aspect, it gave it a creaminess which I didn't like as much. The waffle fries on the other hand were DELICIOUS. They were so crispy, thin and had that kind of battered, textured, outside to them, true fry lovers will know what I'm talking about and I've never seen that on a WAFFLE fry and it was soooooo yummy. Will definitely be visiting again!

    Food was great I had the chicken breast sandwich with waffle fries. The service was also good and quick to deliver. The ambiance with TVs on two walls was good for watching footage.

    Heavenly Buffaloes, 1807 W Markham Ave,Durham
    Bruce K.

    Heavenly Buffaloes has multiple locations in Durham and we landed at this one because it was the closest. That said, this location is take out only. And while I definitely wanted some wings, I did not want to eat them in my car. The young lady at the counter was very polite and directed me to their other location. As for this one, I'll be back when I'm looking for takeout in this area. [Review 15527 overall, 1031 of 2021, number 3066 in North Carolina.]

    One of the first few restaurants I tried in North Carolina is @heavenly_buffaloes because I heard good things about this place! They specialize in chicken wings and didn't disappoint. There are so many flavors to choose from! We ordered: Honey BBQ Boneless chicken wings - so saucyy! Dry rub chicken thighs - crispy Waffle fries - We got a large and holy the portion size was HUGE it can probably serve like 3-4 people

    Great fries! I loved the seasoning (jerk) on the crispy waffle fries. The wings were below average...I could almost tast the old grease.

    Buffalo Chicken Wings- sauce separate
    Thuy H.

    Heavenly Buffalo is a solid chicken place. The chicken is usually on the drier side, but the sauces that accompanies it makes up for the dryness. For any of my spice lover out there, I would recommend to go spicier than the mild - because the mild is not spicy at all. The buffalo sauce is on the creamier side of sauce, and really hits all the buffalo wings craving. The lemon pepper is also a very nice dry rub. You really get all the hits of lemony-ness and pepper all at once and it is a dance party in your mouth. The fries, although not crunchy, has a great taste to them. It reminds me of Jack-in-the-box fries. Overall, the chicken and fries are perfectly salted. Although the chicken is slightly on the drier side, the sauces and rubs really elevates the chicken and I would recommend this place! Taste: 3.5/5 Presentation: 3/5 (not something they care about) Recommend to a friend?: Yes Consistent: Yes Cost: $$ Parking: small lot on the right side of the restaurant

    Vegan Wings
    Amayah E.

    We ordered vegan wings with two different sauces and it was so amazing! We really enjoyed how crunchy and tender the vegan wings were and it was such a thoughtful thing to put on the menu! They also had vegan ranch, which is a plus! The vegan wings were huge, as you can see, and we enjoyed eating them. They were very filling as well. If we are ever in the area again and craving vegan wings, we know the place to go to to make it happen!

    Thai Chili Vegan Wings
    Brittanie H.

    I came here after looking up Vegan options on Yelp last time I was in the area. I opted not to go at​ the time due to the distance but it came to mind while I was in town on ​Saturday. Based on the reviews about the long wait times, I decided to call my order in so that it would be ready when I arrived. Per the suggestion of fellow Yelpers, I ordered​ the Thai chili vegan wings and the plain waffle fries and started the 15-minute​ drive to Heavenly Buffaloes. When I arrived, I walked up to the window to pick up my order which set me back less than​ $13. En route to my destination, I decided to munch on my goodies. The wings were absolutely delicious. Sticky, spicy and sweet and the peanuts gave it a ​wonderful texture. The wings themselves had a nice texture outside and the inside had that meaty texture that vegans tend to miss. It was great. Loved the fries, though I wish they had been a hair crispier. The seasoning was spot on and they were nice and h​ot. The 7 wings were​ more than enough for me. I think I ate 3 with the fries for lunch and had the other 4 for dinner. Overall, I think this place is great and can't wait to come back and try the Jerk sauce.

    Is there a brewery or nearby restaurant that would allow Heavenly Buffaloes customers to bring their food inside? I know HB does not have inside seating.

    That easy! Come to the new Chapel Hill location! Full seating and great beer selections to go with the already great food!

    How are the vegan wings? Consistency, flavor, value, etc.

    They remind me of Chick'n brand. They are similar in shape and size to boneless real chicken wings but softer. The breading is very good and the sauce really permeates. They were very flavorful and a tad expensive but very, very filling.

    I've been hearing about this Bull City Burger spot for over two months, (noted for their tasty…read moregrass-fed beef) and in watching the reviews -- I figured that the experience should be very pleasant; to the eyes and the palate. I was hoping I would not be disappointed. Downtown Durham on Parrish Street I do believe. I went there midday and there was a sparse lunch crowd already seated when I arrived. The warmly lit space presents nice aesthetic as you walk into the restaurant. A very chill and comfortable atmosphere. I love the bar and the mirrored wall nestled behind it. The spot is pretty laidback and very clean, but has a bit of a rustic nuance to it as well. I like that. The serving staff were extremely nice and helpful towards advising me in making my selection -- with me being a first-timer and all. I kept it simple...I chose the Classic Burger (pink) with pepper jack cheese, bacon marmalade, and as a side, I had to go with the Dirty Fries -- 'cause that's how I roll y'all. About the food: I have to say, the burger was staunchly built and crafted with artistry. Nice and tall with a seriously tasty bun encapsulating everything. Perfectly well-seasoned meat and the first bite was simply delightful. I noticed as I got towards the center of the meat, it was bit less juicy than the surrounding parts of the burger, but nevertheless still tasty. My Dirty Fries were delicious In the end; the experience as a whole was quite delightful and I would definitely like to go there again -- perhaps try a different burger to expand upon my experience with this place. Gotta try out That Bar y'all! I do recommend it for those who haven't had a chance to go by there to check it out.

The interior is…read morenice and vibrant, with a perfect mix of minimalist and maximalist designs in the building (especially with the brewery apparatus being visible--which is awesome!!). Even before me an my party entered we could hear music playing from the building, which kept the vibes up! Moving onto the food, a certain menu item caught my eye. Something that I'm legally obligated to keep quiet about... but let tell you- this burger was Gooood. This "Signature Secret Burger" was rather unique, as it was like you took a pretty simple egg burger, and just ramped it up. My initial thought when I first tried it was that it was a burger squared, the mystery ingredients amplified the flavor to make such a savory meal. It wasn't to overbearing like many other burger places that I've visited, not immediately making me feel fat and full after taking a few bites. Our party also ordered a whole quart of fries, and they were SO GOOD!!! I'm a sucker for good fries, and you knocked this out of the park! Your fry soft was nice and mellow and complimented the fries perfectly. (And even afterwards, the fries warmed up really well and were still Really freakin' good!) Finally, during my visit, their anniversary event (Happy 15th By The Way ) and they were offering FREE DESSERT for someone who happened to sit in a randomly chosen seat. And by the luck of the gods my little brother found his way onto the seat! It was just really awesome to see a restaurant doing such awesome things for their birthday, y'don't see that every day! Overall, this place is definitely a place to stop by if you're in Durham. If you're in the area visit IMMEDIATELY if you love good fun food!

As a vegetarian, there were admittedly pretty limited options, but I was aware of that going in and still wanted to try out this Durham institution. You get complimentary Focaccia (not once, but twice!), with perfectly crusty outside, bouncy inside, and a wonderful olive oil. If I had known this beforehand, probably would not have ordered the Dinner Rolls- nonetheless, they were delightful (pillowy soft and came with an airy butter). As an appetizer, we got the Little Gem Lettuce, which was a little too salty for my taste, and I felt the citrus accentuated the saltiness even more. However, my friends thought it was seasoned well so take this with a grain of salt lol. But I did enjoy the creaminess of the dressing and the crunch from the topping; also, it was pleasant to eat along with some bread. For my entrée, I got the Spaghettini. This was my first time trying shaved black truffle and I was underwhelmed, but I loved the pasta itself, which had a really unique bite to it and was rich but not heavy. The pasta dishes are on the smaller side with regards to portion. Last but definitely not least: the Hot Chocolate Soufflé. Oh my gosh. When I say this was heavenly, I could literally hear angels singing as I took my first bite. The hot fudge was velvety but not overwhelming, the soufflé soft, and perfectly balanced by the cool bourbon-caramel ice cream. This is assembled table side so you get a fun little show as well haha. We were taken on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster because apparently they were having trouble with the oven, but so grateful that could be fixed. Service was amazing (shout out to Beza!), very friendly and appropriate timing. Ambiance is superb, literally the epitome of modern elegance and probably the best in Durham for a fancy night out. Highly recommend getting a reservation. I could see parking being tricky on busy weekends, but I was able to snag a spot in front of the restaurant. Overall, I had a good experience with some minor room for improvement with dish execution but definitely would appreciate more vegetarian and vegan-friendly options (although, I suppose I didn't ask if modifications to dishes was possible). 9/10 would recommend!

Una vez fuimos con unos amigos para una experiencia especial de cena que estaban ofreciendo y la pasamos increíble. La comida, las bebidas y toda la experiencia fueron aún mejores gracias a Fernando, el gerente, que siempre ha sido súper amable, atento y servicial. Recomendamos muchísimo Aaktun para desayuno o cena. Todavía no hemos ido para almorzar, pero honestamente nos sorprendería mucho que no estuviera igual de bueno.

    "Part Dos - Mostly great, with a few exceptions"…read more Food temp is major in my book. While many of the food options were hot, several were not, and I believe that impacted the overall dining experience. We ordered classic breakfast and jerk chicken lunch options. For drinks: Cappuccino and Mango Refreshers. The good: (1) Fried rice - which accompanied the jerk chicken (served hot). While simple, the slightly earthy and bitter (in the best way possible) from the braised/steamed baby bok choy perfectly accompanied the earthy mushroom, and complex soy inspired fried rice. So good - this could be a vegan or meat side entree unto itself - IMO. (2) Scrambled Eggs - If you enjoy large curds of gently scrambled eggs - this is for you. While we enjoyed the remaining options for portion size and flavor, we did note that the temperature was cool to mid - which impacted overall flavor. Jerk Chicken: we understand this is a jerk inspired interpretation. With that being said, the most interesting flavor was limited to the crispy skin. Perhaps the chicken was immersed in a salt brine and basted with a jerk flavoring? We loved the white (perhaps mayo based sauce), and accompanied pickled red onion. But baby, the food temp. Yucca fries - if you're unfamiliar - are the baby of a green plantain and white potatoes. While good, they were not hot. Maybe could have benefited from a unique sauce? Food service good. But the biggest miss was the cheese hash browns and Mango Refresher. Hash brown (cheese) room temp, and tough - Mango Refresher - too tart and not worth the cost. As far as ambience: Customers were Hip, sexy, multi ethnic , and included old and young. We loved our waiter. Overall, a little disappointing especially considering we loved our first coffee breakfast visit so much. Not sure if it was an off day or we just prefer other menu options. However, we'd definitely visit again! Brunch/lunch: 4.2

    I have been to Little Bull several times and the meal is always consistent. I come here often and…read morebring friends here all the time. First the ambiance. It's cute. Small and the patio is so cute. The only downside is the a/c inside doesn't work well and it was hot. The drinks are craft and well done. I can always count on a solid cocktail here. The food is so good and perfect for sharing. My go to dishes are the gambas (shrimp), the barbacoa is my absolute favorite, the octopus and either the crudo or ceviche. This is more than enough food for 2 people. The food and drinks are consistent. I recommend making a reservation on OpenTable ahead of time as it can be crowded on any given day. They are kind and accommodating if you don't have a reservation, but you may have to wait. This is a Durham staple for me.

    Our server was amazing and very attentive. The restaurant was cute but it felt too warm, so maybe…read moretheir AC can't keep up with the summer heat. Overall, the food was okay, not the best but not the worst. The couple we dined with ordered the Gambas a La Plancha (shrimp) and let us try some, it had a delicious sauce that was really good with the ciabatta bread! My two favorite dishes were the Gambas and the Barbacoa, overall they had the best flavor/value. NC Corn Elote ($12): decent grilled corn, but there was way too much mayo on the plate. Birria Dumplings ($17): these were good, I loved the sauce which had a good kick! Barbacoa ($19): The meat was a bit fatty/greasy, but the amount of food was well worth the price. It came with corn tortillas and other fresh toppings/sauces that cut through the fat. Campechano Sope ($16): The dish had a good spice, however, I think the octopus was overcooked.

    During an event at the convention center five feet away, I decided against the meager food and…read moredrink offerings there to eat at TableSouth. May have been the best decision of the weekend. I had a few drinks earlier in the weekend here with a friend, so I knew the bartender wasn't foolin' around. His recommendation of the Bull City Brisket was a ringer: a huge portion of smokey beef brisket (I know, pork is the only official NC barbecue, but this cow slaps!), creamy mac and cheese, not nearly enough grilled corn on the cob, a dab of Cole slaw, and deep fried jalapeño cornbread. All was presented nicely (this _is_ the lobby of the Marriott, right?), at their bar or table service. There was a small pitcher of sauce for the meat (and you'd be forgiven for using the cornbread to sop up a bit), which was thick and smoky. I was able to finish it, but it was touch-and-go at the end. Sitting in the bright, shiny gleam of this modern hotel lobby, I still felt I was dining with someone's MeeMaw on the back porch. A word about the bar: there are the requisite purse hooks, but also power outlets spaced under the bar. A sad but needed commentary on our connected society, but Table South made it feel normal.

I stopped by for breakfast around 9 am the morning after I flew in from the west coast, still a little jet lagged. There were few people around (though the hotel was quite full) - I was greeted politely and seated right away. I uttered the word "Coffee" and a carafe of the brown elixir appeared within seconds, along with a breakfast menu. I glanced down the list of options and ordered one of the healthier entrees - an egg white frittata with turkey sausage, advertised at only 350 calories, with fruit instead of hash browns. The food arrived within minutes (they are certainly prompt) and I hungrily devoured my fruit while I contemplated my frittata, which looked a bit soft in the middle. Deciding against sending it back, I gingerly bit into the better cooked edge - it was delicious, with surprisingly light turkey sausage scattered about in the right amount. The center of the frittata was slightly undercooked, but not too bad, and was dispatched as quickly as the rest. The check arrived right away, but they left me alone while I poured and savored another cup of coffee, and when I was leaving, the server brought me a to-go cup so I could take some more coffee with me! Nice!! So a good choice for breakfast if you're in downtown Durham, and especially if you're staying at the Marriott.
