Landed on this place while on a short trip in Durham and the food was so good! I ordered the molletes with a cilantro pineapple marg. Solid combo! I loved the vibe inside and wish I could take a dive like this back home with me. The food also came out super fast and the workers were really cool! read more

Queeny's - Molletes - Burgers Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

This place is super cute!!!!! I was a group of friends at another bar that doesn't serve food, so I knew I needed to have something on my stomach before consuming libations! When you walk in, you grab a menu at the door - order at the bar - and have a seat! I could not tell you what I ordered, I took the bartender's recommendation (since it was my first time there) I can't remember the name (I think it's called Mollette or something close to that - sorry), but it was like chicken tacos in bread (if that makes sense). You can order another meat type, I just ordered the chicken! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!! And the ladies that were working the bar - GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I will definitely go back again! read more

I love this spot! I would have hung out here for hours if I didn't have my 17 year old nephew with me. It's family friendly if you're coming to eat there, which is a great choice. It also seems to be a cool bar scene. My nephew says it's "hipster" but I don't even know what that means anymore. Point is, seems like a fun place to chill. The food was fantastic! They had a great cheeseburger for my nephew and healthy options for me. Their kale salad was legit! The bowl with grains and root vegetables was really good. This is far above average for bar food so it truly and equally is a restaurant. I didn't try a cocktail because we were taking our food to go. read more

I looked at Google Maps to find a place we could walk to from the DPAC as we wanted to park for a show, walk to dinner, and then walk back to the DPAC to enjoy the show. Queeny's checked all the boxes!! We enjoyed great craft beers and amazing burgers. I like that you order at the bar and then they bring the food to the table. I loved the whole vibe of the place. The bartenders were nice, the place was clean, and the food and drinks were delicious. I'd definitely go back, even if I wasn't going to the DPAC. read more

Stopped by on a Friday around noon. Vibes were good and the staff were friendly. My friend and I got the chicken tenders and the mt. Airy sandwich. The tenders were really good but I didn't care much for the sandwich. Would definitely come back if I was in the area again! read more

Great customer service! The staff are very friendly. I asked for a recommendation and they asked me questions to narrow their recommendation down. The Halloween Decorations were great. The background music was at the perfect volume. Loud enough to hear, but low enough to converse. The Braised Short Rib Sandwich w/ Brussel Sprout Slaw was the staff recommendation. The short rib was juicy and tender. The slaw added an earthy element to the sandwich. RECOMMENDATION: serving this sandwich with an au jus would add a savory element to the sandwich read more

What a fun place before a show at The Carolina Theater. Quick and delicious. Chicken was excellent and the bite of the burger I had was outstanding. Solid Pimm's Cup. Order at the bar much like a British pub. The server who took our order was knowledgeable and sweet with lots of patience for first timers. I don't get to Durham a lot these days but would definitely return. read more

SOLID burger joint in Durham. Got the cheeseburger (1/2 pound chuck and short rib, American cheese, chipotle mayo, lettuce, onions, butter pickles) with bacon. The burger patty was thick, but it was cooked to perfection (minimal pink) and was super juicy. The brioche bun was soft and lightly toasted. Only knock was they "forgot" one of our five burgers. It was not brought out for over 30 minutes after everyone got their burgers- and they gave us one free drink (think a round for the table would've been more appropriate, or a credit for the burger). Will definitely return here again though for a burger. read more

I love a spot that is open late night, has good food, drinks and vibes. Queeny's has all of the above. I appreciated that the menu is pretty straight forward and there are plenty of vegetarian options. The falafel pita was pretty good. It was a decent size and flavorful. My friend enjoyed the birria dip sandwich. The local craft beers on draft were good. They also have a solid line up of cocktails and a standard wine list. I love the ambiance in there. The Polaroids at the bar are so cute. There's plenty of seating in the main area as well as in the back room and the patio. The music was good. I'd definitely go back read more

Eclectic and hipster is how I would describe Queeny's in downtown Durham. It's a few blocks from D-PAC, Durham Bulls Athletic Park and American Tobacco Campus. My son and I stopped in the other day to grab an early dinner prior to going to the Durham Bulls (Rays affiliate) - Scranton Railriders (Yankees affiliate) game. The atmosphere is pretty good as is ok, nothing special. The service was quick. You order at the bar and seat yourself. We both went with the cheeseburger and also got an order of nachos. Everything came out together. Maybe the kitchen forgot to prep the nachos first. The burgers were okay, nothing special. The buns were fairly large though. Like I said the food was fine and it is a cool place to stop in for a drink or a quick bite to eat. If Yelp had a sliding scale I'd give it a 3.5 - 3.75 rating. There's plenty of parking options nearby. read more

We stopped in for a cheeseburger and some fried pickles. The burger was less than stellar. The word bland sums it up. There was just nothing of note. Shocking for a place that is known for its burgers. The fried pickles were a huge failure. Whole spears? Who does that? They need to be pickle chips. Well-dried so the batter sticks. These were nightmare worthy. A pile of limp pickles and batter that fell off?!? I added a photo. The beer was great and the fries were excellent though. read more

I've been to Queeny's twice, both times for lunch, and gosh, I just love it there! The food is great, but my favorite thing about the restaurant is the atmosphere. I grew up in Durham and spent most of my adult life living in the city, and it's hard for me to imagine a restaurant feeling more "Durham" than Queeny's has managed to do. It's super relaxed, inviting, comfortable, hip but not pretentious, and community-focused. There has clearly been a lot of thought put into every detail, including comfy booths, a reading room for children; clean, eco-minded, gender-neutral restrooms; and a free podcast recording space that is available to any local who signs up for a slot. As for the food, I've enjoyed everything I've tried. Their burger and fries are a really solid choice, as is the chicken salad sandwich (it does have a lot of mayo so if that isn't your thing, you may want to try something else on the menu). And I love their fried pickle spears - the breading is super crunchy and delicious. Service has always been friendly and helpful. read more

1st Timer: The hype was true! I have been aching to visit Queeny's for over a year now. Friends have raved about the place. So, you know I had to put it on my list. By a stroke of luck, I happened to be in the area and found a parking spot in front of the place. I was getting a bit hangry, so it was definitely in the cards. Walking in, I caught such a fragrant vibration. Queeny's has an authentic bohemian vibe -- warm and comfortable elements in all the right places; from the inviting decor...the wall graffiti...and all-the-way to the cool, smooth music that was constantly languishing from their perfectly balanced sound system throughout the space. The layout is open and spacious. Awesomely great service. I was treated with much kindness and patience since it was my first time there. Very clean, including the bathrooms (of course I checked folks...lol)! There is outdoor seating in the front and the rear with plans for expanding the rear patio area. So, room for everyone! So now, what you've all been waiting for...the piece de resistance...the food! First & foremost, I kinda cheated with this one. I've heard that the Burger and Nachos were the bees knees up in here, sooooo....you know I had to get it, right!? Ohh. Myy. Gosshh! Folks, let me tell you! That medium-cooked cheeseburger nestled within that soft, toasted brioche bun, literally melted in my mouth! I have expletives that I can't even bring to discernable syllables right now. Incredible, will have to do. The Nachos and spicy queso (hidden menu item) is spot-on as well. Another thing...they don't play with your food either. Portions are nice! I could only eat half of my meal, and I'm a pretty hefty fellow. So, say hello to a nice 'midnight snacky-snack for me later on tonight! Lucky me, right...Hahhh! Come here, and prepare for a treat that will soothe that inner beast inside. read more

I'm so surprised Queeny's doesn't have a higher rating! I would highly recommend to anyone visiting. I've gone the past two times I've been in Durham and loved the vibes each time. Every person that works there is pleasant and the food is sooo good. The chicken crispers are a must. All the sauces are house made I"(I think or at least it tastes like it) and are great as well. The spot is very casual and even the wine doesn't come in actual wine glasses (but for some reason I'm ok with it, which is not like me). I love that they have a TV but cover it with an art piece at the bar and only have it on for VERY special occasions, my cousin said he's seen in on maybe twice and he's lived there for almost 10 years. I also saw a reading room and even a podcast recording studio, all visible if you're sitting at the bar. 10/10 would recommend for the great food (the French dip birria is also very good/unique) and fab vibes! I'll be back next time! read more

There's several things I like about Queeny's. I've been here multiple times. Here is my list of pros: 1. Food is delicious. I've tried several things on the menu. It's probably one of the best burgers I've had in Durham. 2. Cool ambiance 3. Kind and quick service Here are my cons: 1. It's usually pretty loud inside. So that makes it difficult to talk. 2. When you order a beer, you don't get a regular sized beer like everywhere else in Durham. But they charge the same price as everyone else who gives a regular sized beer. 3. It's pretty expensive. We didn't grab much for dinner and spent $55. read more

Ummm, how to start. Good: well actually the food was great. Very tasty burger, hot fries, and the chicken strips were AWESOME! The drinks were delicious, I had the apple jacquiri. The not so good: well it is a "bar" and you order at the counter. But I found the bartender not very pleasant. I felt as if I was bothering him, like he didn't want to be there. However I'm trying to keep it in perspective of what it's trying to be, a dive bar with hella good food. I'll be back for sure with lower expectations for a smile. Lots of tables to choose from and a room on the back we saw a family hanging out in. read more

~ Hippie lil spot that was very entertaining I must say. When here after I went to the Duke vs. Wake Forest Game. The people in here were def lit. Lol. The staff was on point. They were getting crazy love from the customers. Love that they engage with their regulars. I love a loud & crazy atmosphere. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich that had cucumber & pickle onion chips on it. I usually only eat my chicken salad with straight mustard. No bread, & def not cucumbers. But I didn't wanna mess up their creations up so I tried it & was impressed. They came with fries which were the 2nd best fries I've had. They almost tasted better than McDonald's French fries I'm telling you. I hate every single fry !!! The menu was limited. Iono think they had buffalo wings either. Just the Chicken crisps ( chicken strips). All & All. It was cool. I'd go back. ~ read more

What's not to love about this bar/restaurant? It's comfortable, welcoming, friendly, open almost all the time (10:45a to 2am), and the chicken salad sandwich alone deserves 10 stars. Next to the Durham Hotel, you walk in, grab a menu by the door, and sit wherever you want. Tables, bar, high seats, couch... Order at the bar and they give you a number for your food. Cocktails and wine are $10 each. I was happy with my Chardonnay and Husband liked his Rusty Rascal. Thinking we weren't that hungry, we decided to try their Chicken Salad Sandwich. And I never thought these words would ever come out of my mouth but we were both blown away by a simple Chicken Salad Sandwich. It's all about the ingredients and execution. The perfectly grilled bread, that the chicken is smoked, coddled by just enough mayo, tarragon and celery and layered with thinly sliced cucumber, fantastic pickled onions and a few crunchy potato chips. This alone is destination worthy. Which made us realize we should be smart and try their Mt.Airy Sandwich also. And yes, another hit! Lean pork, pickled veggies, herby mayo, jalapenos. Yum! It's a small menu but if those two sandwiches are any indication, there was a lot of thought put into what IS on there and how they are made. read more
