I've never had a complaint about my movie experience with the exception of the snacks. About half the time when I get the popcorn, there's no seasoning on it. Don't expect a lot of seasoning because they want people to be able to choose how their popcorn tastes by seasoning it as needed, but there needs to be at least a little bit when it's cooked for basic flavor. I recommend you check your popcorn as soon as you get it to see if it needs seasoning, especially if you're getting it to go.

FOOD IS SO GOOD! Me…read moreand my family have stopped in here a couple of times to eat, and it is so good every time! Once you get seated, they give you complimentary cheese biscuits. They are addicting. They are soft, fluffy, hot, cheesy, and delicious. I always get the chicken tender basket, with either fries or Mac and cheese. The tender are big, juicy, crispy, and hot. They are so good when they are paired with the honey mustard. The honey mustard is like a sweet-dijon. So good! The Mac and cheese is always creamy, and the noodles are always soft (not stale like some places), and the fries are always fluffy and crispy. The tea could be better (It is pretty weak), but the food makes up for it. The service isn't always the best (it depends on who you get), but they are never mean. Some of them just act like they just have somewhere better to be. Yesterday, they were short staffed and our server had to cover the whole bar (it was full), and several booths and tables, so I can understand how busy she was. Still, she did a great job for the amount of work that she had. If you live in Charlotte or the surrounding areas, are driving down I-85, or live in Concord, PLEASE stop in at Jim 'N Nick's. It is a more modern-family-feel restaurant, but is still super good and fresh!!

Decent BBQ with Solid Food, Average Service…read more I recently ate at Jim 'N Nick's BBQ in Concord and overall had a pretty decent experience. The food was definitely the highlight -- everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The BBQ had good flavor, and the sides were solid too. We.ordered a platter to share with ribs, shredded chicken and lean brisket with the coleslaw and potato salad. You can tell they take their time with the smoked meats, which is what keeps people coming back. Common areas were clean and the vibe was family friendly. The service, however, was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't anything special. Staff were polite, but things felt a bit slow and not very attentive compared to what you'd expect at a place like this. Overall, I'd still come back for the food since that's the most important part, but improving the service would definitely make the experience better.

The upper level of the venue has a display of artwork from local artists which is amazing to share with the public. The location was easy to find. The surrounding streets where there is limited parking is well-lit at nighttime so you feel safe getting to your car. This location and venue is definitely a 5/5.

The parking is a bit challenging if it is your first time going to the theater. I recommend parking down the left side of the theater or in the parking lot directly at the end of the block on the right. I also recommend getting there about 45min early to get decent parking as well as concessions. The cast were teenagers and were truly entertaining. I will definitely start adding this local theater company to my list of places to go on my weekends and support these talented young people.

I purchased tickets on the website and was able to pick them up at will call. You can also have them sent electronically to you as well. Its in the very popular and very cramped Haymount area of town, so parking makes you get a little creative. We parked at a nearby restaurant that we frequently get brunch at. The box office area was smooth, as was the concession area where I got some popcorn and a water. We were shown to our seats by a wonderful staff member, and I had scored some amazing spots on the third row. The sets and the costumes were impeccable, the acting marvelous, and the experience outstanding. There was a small intermission, and I used the restroom, which was very clean. The entire night was just amazing. We learned that there is a huge expansion project starting this summer (2024), and all those additions sound pretty dope as well! Cant wait to see another play here!

Duke Gardens is definitely one of the most beautiful gardens in Durham, if not the Triangle. Open…read morefrom dawn to dusk, it's welcoming to all. The best time of year to go in my opinion is during the Spring and especially during the Cherry Blossom season, which only lasts less than a week if not that. During that time, it can be super duper crowded, with people everywhere trying to get the perfect profile pic and/or selfie in. Weddings are held here and they have a beautiful area for it, along with a pond with lily pads. I have friends who have gotten engaged here, although if you're a professional photographer, you need to have permission. During the summer, they have a summer concert series on the lawn and it's so much fun. My friends I would bring snacks, wine, coolers and picnic blankets. Partaking in those concerts was one of the most fun parts of my summers, so nostalgic. Parking is a bit much (as it's sometimes hard to snag) but there are a few overflow lots to accommodate. One of my favorite parts of Duke Gardens it that you can also access Duke Campus across the road, and see the lovely Duke Chapel, and its beautiful cathedral. Once done, you can re-enter the Gardens and continue your trail. Such a lovely stroll. Once you cross the red bridge, you can also find your way to the farm, where there are animals, vegetation and lots of vegetables and herbs in a sweet garden. You can't really get too lost at Duke Gardens which I appreciate. Just keep going and eventually you will find your way back to the main fountain. Enjoy!

The gardens are especially notable for their beautiful Japanese-themed areas, featuring an abundance of Japanese Maples and even Fuyu persimmons, which I would have loved to pick if they weren't so high up (maybe next time!). There are numerous pathways for strolling, and the gardens regularly host events such as weddings, educational programs, and seasonal festivals. Visitors can enjoy both formal, carefully curated landscapes like the Historic Gardens, as well as informal, naturalized areas that resemble a backyard wildlife garden, perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or simply enjoying a peaceful retreat from the busy world. Overall, Duke Gardens is a must-visit for anyone in the area, an accessible, beautiful, and educational space that offers a tranquil escape and a chance to connect with nature.
