Nobody really talked to us when we came in, or the 25 we sat down despite there being 4 waitresses. There were menus already on the tables and all of the good stuff on the menu was seasonal. Ended up walking out nobody really said anything. Weird vibe but maybe just caught them on an off day.

Rubbish service. Loooooong wait for food . Rude bar staff …read more I ordered food waited for over a hour , asked bar staff where my food was , she took my card as I wanted to pay, then this thug of a barman came up to me and said I won't let you leave until I paid for my food, I said to him we'll go get it then , he dissappear then finally brought my food. But there was a delay before , no way I'm eating that now if you get my drift , I threw it in the trash Stupid staff and bad service. Never again.

Upon entering Hop + Grind I was reminded of my old ways. The food is nothing short of ooze-worthy, with creamy levels of goodness, moist, juicy burgers, and sloppy fries. But the innuendos need to stop. I don't need to think of lustful acts while slopping down a greasy bite. I mean, cmon, Hoggy Style? You people make me sick. Overall, a good place with a good vibe. Would come here again.

Located on Main Street in Durham in the former Ciao space, The Blue Flame opened in April 2025…read moreoffering drinks and a limited food menu and a breakfast buffet (late night and weekends), plus live music and dancing on some nights. The place has ample table seating, booths, and seating at the full service bar. There is also patio sidewalk seating in front of the restaurant. The place still resembles its predecessor with the same colors paint scheme. The bar offers a few draft beers, wine, mixed drinks, and cocktails. The TVs (not on) are still over the bar and there is a digital jukebox too. The limited dinner menu in July 2025 offers alfredo pasta primavera, roast chicken, baby back ribs, blackened salmon and prime rib and desserts (cheesecake & chocolate cake). While the weekend breakfast buffet is active, the late night breakfast buffet was on pause until the UNH school year resumes. The pricing is moderate. I stopped by the Blue Flame for dinner recently. The place was not busy on a Wednesday evening during the summer. I was seated at a table near the front window and requested an ice water. For dinner, I ordered the Blackened Salmon ($24.99 plus tax) served with garlic/basil mashed potatoes, green bean almondine, hot rolls, and a side salad. The side garden salad came out first with dressing on the side, served in a small bowl with a mixed leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots. The Blackened Salmon entree and hot dinner rolls came out next. The blackened salmon filet was a good size, served hot, tender & texture flaky, slightly spicy. The garlic/basil mashed potatoes were hot, soft and chunky. The fresh green beans with almond slivers and butter were a bit lukewarm though. The 2 dinner rolls were soft and chewy. After I finished and cleaned my plate, I was presented with the check which was $27.11 (cash)/$28.06 (card) with tax and before tip. Overall, a good filling dinner on a slow evening. I will have to come back for the late night breakfast buffet and hopefully their dinner menu would have more choices.
