The Hot Honey Chicken special with pimento cheese was an easy 10/10. The fried green tomatoes were another standout, sliced to the perfect thickness with a great crunch. The beans and rice were packed with flavor, and the fried chicken was excellent. Even the Thai Chili BBQ deserves a mention; it's a must-try, just don't let the name fool you because the heat sneaks up on you. Add in the unique artwork and atmosphere, plus the great service, and you've got a restaurant that's worth a detour if you're driving through Durham. I'll definitely be back.

Very nice atmosphere, well thought out design inside and out. Very friendly and efficient service…read more I see where they won the best southern food in Durham from Indy in 2025. While the food was good, it didn't knock my socks off. And they're definitely more of a creole restaurant than a southern one. There are better cajun/Creole restaurants in the RTP area. I was going to order the creole gumbo, but found out when I came in that it was a seafood gumbo today not their regular one. Oh well. So I ordered jambalaya with a side of red beans and rice. Both were good but a little dry and I've had better nearby. The fresh catch of the Day was Amber Jack, and I love that fish, so maybe I should've ordered that in a Poboy. Might come back to try some of their other offerings.

I had the catfish sliders for lunch and I gotta say, fried foods tear me up. I suffer for a day or two after eating something fried like that but, I would go back and have these again because they were fantastic. Perfectly cooked, the sliders are good portions, you get three in your lunch and honestly too is plenty so this is definitely something that a couple people could split. Glad to find this place and I will be back.

Located in the heart of the UNC Chapel Hill campus, this establishment brings the feel of real New Orleans with the food and beverage selection. The owner Mandy is usually there working, is one of the nicest people, and makes you feel at home. Her mom makes the desserts (hence the rotating dessert menu). There is always a fun calendar of events featuring jazz musicians.

As far as specific food recs, try the shrimp & grits, Boudin sausage, Frenched chicken breast, pickle plate, and Beignets. But I have a feeling anything from their menu is stellar.

I was visiting Durham and heard great things about this restaurant so I decided to stop in. The…read moreservice was outstanding. It was a little confusing finding the restaurant and the hosts kindly walked me through how to get there. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were very attentive. They frequently checked in and made sure my water never got too low. I got the broiled oysters drogos style and they were AMAZING. There was so much parmesan cheese and the garlic butter was so good I could almost drink it. I just wish I got more bread so I could enjoy the cheese and butter more. Not that it matters too much but I was expecting charbroiled oysters on the half shell like in New Orleans, but these oysters come already shucked without the shell. The NC Catfish on the other hand was good, but not great. The catfish was crispy. The beans, rice, and pork were perfectly cooked. However, the meal tasted very bland and underseasoned, which was so surprising for a New Orleans inspired restaurant, and the pork portion was extremely small

The oyster breading was way too thick and very crunchy. I had to ask for cocktail sauce and lemon and that took a while. Based on my meal and service I would say a 3 but the others loved their meals. One got a shrimp boil and the other a combo of shrimp and crabs. You get to choose your sauce in the bags and one chose garlic butter the other the bang bang( a combo of all the sauces.

The fried oysters came shaped like uniform oval pucks, when you bit into the very thick, breading (like heavy mozzarella sticks?) it - was hot- then squishy & Wet. The actual oyster was gross like this as it was lying in wet breadcrumb center. They tasted canned or pre frozen. They were very briny with almost a bad Funk. I ate 2.5 of the six on the plate. The bathroom was visited on the way out and all stall doors open & each toilet filled with excrement. PS- very questionable rap also on the music being played: Rhianna - "Bitch Better have my money". Not cool of you had kids with you. Topped off the distasteful visit literally.
