    Compete and utter waste of time to shop at this location. The employees go out of their way to avoid helping customers and when you do finally get their attention (even when it's dead in the store) they're surly. I have vowed on many a visit not to return, but keep forgetting because this location is closest to me. After today's visit, Never again! I'll go out of my way to shop in Cary or Chapel Hill rather than stop here. No-one was in the meat department today or an advertised sale item, as well as many other choices not on display. Lots of food bars should have been open by now, after 10:30 am, instead all were empty. Even the deli barely had food in it. Whoever the district manner is really needs to come in unannounced &/or undercover and see what's going on here. It's very frustrating to shoppers.

    Super pleased with my quick stop at Fresh Market today. I came in for Counter Culture Coffee and left with 3 bags of my favorite (Apollo). The Counter Culture Coffee was on sale to boot which really made my day for sure! There were quite a number of the types of their coffee out of stock (I had to look for a staff member who said the person who is in charge of coffee was in a meeting but he took the time to check in the back to see if there were any extra bags which I appreciated him taking the time to check!). They put some of the CCC towards the end cap (the Apollo) and when I located it, I was able to snag a few more bags...but it was odd to put them on a side end cap top shelf area (away from the actual product itself)...maybe putting them back in the CCC sale section would be best logically speaking...just a little less confusing all around I think. Overall, in the general sense, I always enjoy going into Fresh Market for their quick and efficient service, their cleanliness, and their well stocked options of great items for your home and body. In the vitamin area I scored some amazing "last chance" buys which left me feeling like I had saved quite a bit of money stocking up on needed items that were drastically reduced in price! Thanks so much Fresh Market! You guys are doing a great job!!!

    I've been to The Fresh Market a few times now to grab some pastries for a quick breakfast and prepared meals for lunch. So far, so good! Their pastry section has a wide selection and everything always smells so delicious! I just want to include a note that if you're grabbing something on-the-go for breakfast, you're limited to the pastry section, which is fine but just know that their bagels aren't sliced. Personally, I've been grabbing a bagel and taking it to the office where I can slice it and smear cream cheese on it but they also have scones and croissants. Their individual pastries are reasonably priced in my opinion. I really love their prepared meal selection! They do not have a hot bar (like Whole Foods) but they have a large olive bar and a salad bar! If you need something quicker, they have sandwiches, wraps, sushi, potstickers, soups, salads, and other entrees already prepared and ready to go! I haven't tried their deli section yet but they can make sandwiches as well. All the prepared foods I've bought are freshly made and delicious! I think the prepared foods are reasonably priced, comparable to dining out or ordering take out. I really like The Fresh Market and am happy to see it in Durham! I would say that this location is not as large as the Chapel Hill location but bigger than the Raleigh location. So far, the customer service at this location is fantastic as I'm always greeted when I walk in and everyone is always so friendly. I haven't had a problem with waiting to check out which is nice as well. The overall layout of the store is open, very bright and warm. I'll definitely be coming to The Fresh Market more in the new year!

    I went into Noble Meats for the first time and told them right away it was my first visit, so I…read moreneeded a minute with the menu. Normally I go straight for brisket or ribs, but they told me they're known for their burnt ends, so I decided to try the burnt ends plate. After I paid and sat down for a bit, they came back and told me they had run out of burnt ends. They offered to substitute another meat and refund the difference. I switched to brisket and told them not to worry about the refund. To their credit, they gave me whatever burnt ends they had left along with the brisket, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the meat itself was disappointing. At first glance, the brisket did not look promising. The slices were very lean with almost no visible fat, no smoke ring, no pink, just gray-brown throughout. The bark was minimal and patchy. It looked dry before I even took a bite, and it ate exactly how it looked. The meat was firm, tight-grained, and lacked moisture. I ended up having to drink water between bites and could only finish about half before taking the rest home. The burnt ends weren't much better. They were dark and sauced on the outside, but they also leaned dry instead of tender and juicy. Not the rich, sticky, melt-in-your-mouth burnt ends I was hoping for. I got baked beans and potato salad for sides. I'm not sure if they make them in-house or if they're premade, but they were decent. Not amazing, not bad. They just didn't make up for the meat. I really wanted to like this place, especially after they recommended the burnt ends so confidently. I appreciate that they tried to make it right when they ran out, and that was good customer service. But at the end of the day, barbecue lives and dies by the meat, and this just didn't deliver.

    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!

Excellent selection of Arab / Middle Eastern / Mediterranean / Asian goods. They have a great variety of both the standard staples, such as chick peas, bread, seasonings, yogurts, cheeses, frozen goods, and other raw or prepared ingredients, but also have more nuanced items you might not have seen in a long time had you grown up elsewhere and moved to the US. I don't have to go and order things online anymore. Additionally they have a butcher that has fresh meats that are also halal if you're Muslim. I haven't ever had their meats, and am not Muslim, but I know where to go if I need lamb or goat on special occasions. They don't really have produce beyond some shelf stable items, but that excluded, it's pretty much an oasis. Finally, the store is kept clean, well stocked, and organized. I've never been in there with items I need missing. They recently did a facelift on the front of the store and it looks awesome, very modern and inviting. The owners and their sons are super friendly, extremely kind, even offering to special order things I ask about, and are always in a helpful / cheerful mood! Would HIGHLY recommend stopping in to anyone looking for things they need, or just wanting to see what a Middle Eastern store looks like!

Even a month ahead of time, so good luck). But don't let it stop you if you don't have reservations, just be smart. We've learned to arrive when they open, because the bar and the high-tops in the bar area are all first-come first serve. There are times we've had just drinks and an appetizer/rolls or dessert. Other times we've gone for a full meal. Most recent visit was Saturday before an 8pm show at DPAC, and I heard words that I've never heard before that made me love them even more. "We will hold your leftovers for you until after the show". Uh, big heart for me! And smart for them, because we would not have ordered dessert otherwise, and I would have been sad to have had to waste even a bite of my fave, the roast chicken. Husband declared his "wedge" salad and filet to be perfection, and nothing makes him happier than a couple Dirty Durham's, while I can always find a nice glass of wine. We tried the Apple Crisp for dessert along with a couple coffees, and it was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. The Service was also terrific, as always. Always. And sure enough, my leftovers were bagged up and ready and waiting when we got out of the show. Just when I thought they couldn't possibly get better, they did.

I arrived as soon as the doors opened at 4pm on a cold & windy Sunday. Dining at Nana Steak was a last minute decision and I didn't have a reservation. The bar area is first come, first served.

Jared was my server and he was the best!! I started with the soup of the day, cream of spinach. The flavor was awesome, and as Jared mentioned, it wasn't a heavy creamy soup, it was light and delicious. For my entree I ordered the 6 oz Filet medium, it was cooked perfectly and had the best flavor. I didn't really need a knife it was so tender. For my side, I chose the potato puree (mashed potatoes) and they were like whipped silk, and seasoned perfectly. I made sure to save room for dessert and I'm so glad I did. The chocolate silk pie complimented my glass of red wine perfectly. I ate every bite. I definitely recommend dining at Nana Steak, make a reservation if you can. I hear the cheeseburger and the rolls are both delicacies, they only make a certain amount a day. Make sure you ask your server about the specials of the day that aren't on the regular menu.

They drizzle some of the brisket gravy over the grits... Oh man this was delish. We got talking about South Louisiana food with our server and he told us they bring in Leidenheimers french bread from New Orleans for their po-boy's. What's the big deal? ...I'll tell you! The bakery was founded in 1896 and it is the ONLY bread that marks a true po-boy to New Orleans natives. Why? Because of it's unique texture. Their loaves have a pillowy soft interior and a crunchy crust that isn't found in most french breads. It's the gold standard for po-boys. So today, I came back to Succotash for an Oyster po-boy. And the Verdict? Five stars mon ami! Leidenheimers bread with a very generous amount of perfectly fried oysters. ...I like mine simple with just lettuce, tomato and a little hot sauce.
