    the sign for the dog house
    Michael J.

    I love a good hot dog! My fave is from the Dew Drop Inn in Mobile, AL, so when I run across a place that could make me one, (hot dog, chili, kraut and condiments) I'll try it, as well as something that's their specialty. If you're hungry for a hot dog, these will do if you cannot get elsewhere, but they were mediocre, at best. I'll keep seaching for a better hot dog!

    good dogs with chili....phenomenal fries...so-so apple pies.....solid bar-b-que....that sums it up. it's a bit set back from the road and a wee bit hard to find. walk up or drive up only as there is no indoor seating. not a bad lunch

    The good ole standby for hotdogs in the South. I just returned from a trip to my hometown and everytime I am home (which is not often) there are just those certain spots that you must hit to reflect on past culinary memories. Ok maybe culinary is not the word to use when talking about a tasty, sloppy hotdog, but bare with me. I've gone to the Dog House for years when I was living in NC, and since this one is close to my parents house there was no doubt that I had to make a quick trip to increase my carb intake along with other things. I stuck with ordering my usual from back in the days, 2 collies and an ol' yallow. See if you're unfamiliar with the Dog House, each dog is named after a breed or name of dogs. The Collie, comes with slaw and chili, and the Ol Yallow comes with cheese and bacon bits. Dont ask me how they come up with the names, but they know their dogs, thats for sure. Top your order off with an apple turnover and some sweet iced tea and if you're wanting to put on some pounds, you will have done it after eating here. Simple, comfort food at it's best. They do have fries, and barbecue sandwiches and other offerings as well. The Dog House is not a sitdown restaurant, but has a drive-thru window and a walk-up window for service as well. Thanks alot Dog House for still being there when I needed you. It's really too bad they dont deliver.

    This is the 3rd time we have ordered a QUART of chili and received 2/3rds of what we paid for! What a ripoff!

    This is the way that BBQ should hit!!…read more We stopped in the "Shack" while visiting Durham. Having been huge fans of North Carolina style BBQ, we were not disappointed.My wife and daughter enjoyed the Pork Plate. By for me, I went with the two meat combo with Pulled pork and brisket. The pulled pork was spot on. It was perfectly smoked and almost melted in my mouth. With a touch of spicy vinegar sauce, I was gone to Carolina in my mind for the rest of the day. The brisket might have been some of the best I've ever had. It had a nice fat layer and was also "melt in your mouth" and juicy. The brisket didn't need any sauce at all. It was that good. The hushpuppies were the star at the table. My family considers themselves to be connoisseurs of hush puppies, and these were ranked in the top five. A respectable ranking from such a discriminating hushpuppy panel. The sides we sampled included collard greens, mac and cheese and BBQ beans. The collards and Mac and cheese were out of this world. I should have ordered a double serving of the collards. However, the beans were a huge disappointment. They were more like a bowl of sub-par chili than BBQ beans. If we return, they will not be selected. A great BBQ spot when you are in Durham. Highly recommend you stop by, if only to taste the brisket!

    great food for good price. $14 brisket sandwich , side and hush puppies. ..............read more

It was my husband and I's first time having Southern BBQ/ Carolina BBQ and Lawrence BBQ had set the bar high for us. Everything was SO GOOD. We got the Cedar Street Family Platter. It was able to feed 5 of us (3 guys and 2 ladies) and there were leftovers. So perfect for the recommended size. The brisket and the ribs were the faves. Honorary mention to turkey, that pleasantly surprised me. And I'm not a fan pulled pork but I can only have pulled pork from here from now now on. My least fav meat on the platter was the pork belly but it's still ranked at like a 7. That's how good the meats were. The sides were great supporting roles. They weren't spectacular but they're disappointing. The only side I didn't try was the orzo. I didn't get our waiter's name but he was such a delight. He made the experience really good.

Bad part is you could eat a couple of dozen of these easy, and at $4 a piece that could get really pricey !! Just be aware, these little babies are addictive !! Chili crisp cheesy tots were yummy !!

    So I asked yelp to recommend a place for a birthday dinner. This was the first on the list. So…read moresince I couldn't get a reservation on my birthday to the place I originally wanted to go, we decided to come here. There is plenty of parking on the backside of the building, paid parking out front, and be careful not to park in the apartment spaces on the side...they sounded pretty serious about towing. I had made a reservation but it was probably unnecessary as it was pretty empty when we arrived (it was about 5pm on a Saturday.) The waitress brought a bottle of water to the table and took our drink order. And I know that this place is literally call it's a Southern thing but can I mention how much I dislike drinking out of mason jars? I ordered the chicken n biscuits, my husband got the country hamburger steak plate, my BiL got wings, and my SiL got the crabcakes. We also orders charred jalapeno & sweet corn hushpuppies and frickles as an appetizer. I was VERY excited about my food. Y'all...the only thing that impressed me were the Frickles. Everything else was distinctly underwhelming. I also ordered Blackberry Betta Have My Money which was not that great. My SiL ordered a espresso martini that they said didn't come from a mix but she said it tasted like it was. The bathrooms were very clean. The decor and the vibe were great. Cute even. I really enjoyed that part of it. After dropping off our food, we never saw our waitress again unless we flagged her down for drink refills. It was especially frustrating since there was automatic gratuity added. And since the place wasn't that busy, it felt like she didn't feel the need to earn her automatic tip. Overall I was disappointed in my birthday dinner. I won't be coming back here.

    Came here last night and what a wonderful experience. Was in town for the Duke lacrosse game and…read morestayed the weekend. Party of three started out with the frickles and a crab dip. Both were warm and flavorful. We had an abundance of pita bread to dip in the crap dip. The sauce with the frickles was fantastic. I ordered the Dr Pepper wings as my entree and they were fall of the bone tender. Something so different about smoked wings versus fried. I washed everything down with a Bull Durham beer and it was flavorful and a perfect pour. Parents got the smoked chicken and shrimp and grits. See the attached photos.
