    Silver spoon is one of those places that seems to have gotten stuck in time in a good way! It's reminiscent of places I ate at as a child, good food, good portions, friendly staff. Seems like the breakfast items are the most popular thing here, but next time I'm going to try one other lunch specials! I love that the entire staff here is so friendly! Definitely will be back to this place again soon!

    Groovy Omni Omelet and glad for a carafe of iced-tea.

    I had a wonderful omelet here yesterday -- as always! My waitress was so kind and everything was as I hoped. Tons and tons of iced tea, as I like it!

    First time here. This place was very busy, but was able to get a seat in 5 mins on a Sunday brunch time. The ambiance was very upbeat and noisy but still okay. Food was good and the place wasn't bad at all would recommend this place and would definitely come back.

    mushroom omelet with breakfast potatoes and english muffin
    Melissa Z.

    I loved this spot. This is the type of breakfast restaurant you find when you're out of town and looking for a satisfying breakfast before you start your day. It was diner style and super packed. Even with every table packed we got seated and served very quickly and all the servers were really welcoming. I got the mushroom omelet, breakfast potatoes, and english muffin. I was really satisfied with my order. I also got a side of corned beef hash (not pictured) and it was great. Most places serve pretty bad corned beef hash so I was pleasantly surprised. My partner got the country scramble, hash browns, and toast. He enjoyed his food as well. The strawberry pancakes were just pancakes with (canned?) strawberries on top but still good. We left happy and full. Our total was around $60.

    an omelet and fruit on a plate

    We needed to eat breakfast and were passing through Durham. We saw this place had a lot of good reviews. The location was a little off beaten path and the construction next door made for some difficult parking. Yet, I see the appeal as the staff was very friendly and then had a lot of food options. I picked my usually corn beef hash omelet  with fruit and an English muffin. The omelet was pretty good. I wish they provided my fruit. It was ok overall, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

    This is an old-school type of diner. It is located in an old Pizza Hut. The outside looks very rough and The parking lot is tight. They have a large dining room with plenty of table and booth options. We came for a Sunday brunch. The service was friendly but a little slow. I tried a Combo meal with 2 glazed apple pancakes, 2 eggs and side of hash browns. The pancakes were good, the eggs were fine, but the hash browns were a total miss. Overall, the visit was just ok, nothing amazing. I probably won't return for another visit.

    Some colleagues and I stopped at this restaurant after completing some volunteer work at a nearby park. A rep from the park recommended this restaurant to us. We did not have reservations, nor did we need any reservations. Our server, Suha, had exceptional customer service skills. She was professional at all times while very pleasant and friendly. We all adored her bubbly personality. She made us feel welcomed and as if we were at home. They have a vast menu available. They serve breakfast all day, but they also have lunch and dinner items. There were so many items on the menu that it took us a minute to figure out what we wanted to try. There were also specials listed on a board. Our orders were taken right away once we were ready, and our food came out quickly. Suha answered our questions regarding the menu and also made some recommendations per our inquiry. We each ordered an entrée and dessert. My entrée was the seafood omelette with English muffin and home fries. It was very tasty and the omelette was flavorful with the cream cheese and shrimp on the inside and hollandaise sauce on the top. My hot fudge brownie was also really good. The presentation for both was nice. The environment was relaxed and a bit homely. There are a lot of regulars that were dining at the same time that we were. This restaurant seems to be a staple in the community. I am giving this restaurant 4 stars only because the restrooms could be brought a bit up-to-date. Additionally, in the female bathroom, there is one handicap stall and one regular stall. The regular stall is so small and cramped that it was not comfortable as there was no room to really turn around or do anything in there other than use the toilet. What made it worse was that there was nowhere to hang my pocketbook, so it was a very awkward situation. Other than that, we had a wonderful dining experience, and we enjoyed the food. Those of us that live within the vicinity of the area will definitely visit again.

    Stopped by Little Bull when visiting downtown Durham. When you arrive parking can be difficult in…read morethis area. I'd recommend parking a few blocks away and walking if needed. Unfortunately, we happened to be in downtown Durham when an event was taking place at the DPAC. Walking into the restaurant it's beautiful with the exposed brick, the decorated dining room, the sassy and unapologetic identity of the restaurant, and the "pocho" cuisine. To be seated you'll check in with the host and then be shown to your table. You'll either be seated on the first/second level or on the second level rooftop. I highly recommend a reservation as we still ended up waiting for our table even with a reservation. For drinks, I started with the Mezcal old fashioned and later ordered the she was a fairy (with sea foam). Overall the drinks were excellent and perfectly balanced. For appetizers, we ordered the "Super Fancy" Devil Eggs, Chirashi, Ceviche, Octopus Al Pastor, Shorty Pan, Butter Beans, and the Ay Papa. Each appetizer had a great presentation and they were all excellent. I really enjoyed the Chirashi as you could essentially make your own sushi with the seaweed on the side and just the overall flavors were so good. For entrees, we ordered the Lamb & Mole and the Carne Asada. Again, the presentation was excellent and both entrees were excellent. The carne asada was well seasoned and in an extremely tasty sauce. The Lamb & Mole you could tell the Mole had several flavors within it and really enhanced the dish. Also the Lamb cut like butter and was so good! For dessert we ordered the Churro Clouds, Capirotada, and I believe the Crepe Cake. Great presentation and by far the churro clouds were my favorite. I highly recommend stopping by Little Bull if you are in the downtown Durham area looking for a good Michelin Star/James Beard nominated restaurant.

We weren't looking for fancy on this self-directed Durham food tour, but we decided to roll with it, and once the hostess walked us upstairs, the whole space opened up into something genuinely beautiful. The decor is polished without feeling stuff, the kind of restaurant where you can sit down, take a breath, and feel like you made a good choice even if you weren't planning on a big night out. We kept things simple. My friend had a customized mimosa, I went with tequila and soda, we shared the brunch ceviche. It arrived looking absolutely stunning and tasted every bit as good as it looked. The plantain chips were a delight and added just the right texture. One small note for anyone ordering drinks upstairs (and maybe downstairs too?), there's no soda fountain, so the ginger ale that came with my drink was a separate $3.00 charge. Something worth knowing before you order. If it's a nice day, consider the upstairs outside patio. It's a delight! [Review 1165 of 2026 - 4814 in North Carolina - 26344 overall]

The restaurant itself is cozy with warm accents, brick walls, and wood paneling. I feel like I'm visiting a good friends home whenever I visit here. As for the menu, and I say this without exaggeration, the carrot cavatelli is one of the best dishes I have ever eaten in my life. I seriously dream about that carrot cavatelli. Here's some of my other favorites: Smoked Hamachi Puree- the toaste brioche goes perfectly with this pate-like fish dish, so insanely delicious Caramelized Onion Tart- the robiola foam is a dream and pairs perfectly with the apple Carrot Cavatelli- I would literally write the chef personally if this item was ever removed from the menu. Trust me, just order this for the table. King Trumpet- there's not much better than a grilled trumpet mushroom Seared Scallops- such a fantastic dish that comes with creamed greens and little pasta to accompany it Braised Beef Short Rib- meaty and delicious, exactly as you would expect Chocolate Mousse- a delicious, decadent dessert that's the perfect way to end a meal All in all, you can't have a bad meal at Littler. Plus the service is always excellent and they pay their staff a living wage! Definitely a do not miss in Downtown Durham
