I've always enjoyed my experience at Tobacco Road. The food is ALWAYS good, and the drinks are good too! The staff and service have always been great as well! They don't take reservations, but you can add yourself to the waitlist ahead of your arrival if the function is available. This is also a great place for a private event. I've been to quite a few of them here and have had a great experience as well. Although there is some street parking available around the restaurant, the best option is to park in the parking deck a short walk nearby. Although they are well-known for their bar food, one of my favorite entrees is the Greek Lemon Chicken! It's so tasty, and the flavors complement each other well. There are tons of tvs to ensure you can catch the games as well! Highly recommend!

We visited mid week before going to see a show at DPAC. We joined the waitlist before we headed over, there were at least 10 others on the waitlist in front of us, and we got a table within about 5 minutes of arrival. They had half price glasses of wine, and I had the chicken salad sandwich with fries - crazy low prices for downtown Durham!

While the food is flavorful, it's a cumbersome process AND the food itself misses the mark for what the venue offers. Kitchen needs to be in house, not a separate entity, if not for anything else other than accountability. If I have an issue with my food and I'm sitting at the bar, the bar tender can't truly address my concern. Additionally, the menu is significantly overpriced for what they offer... Great place still, but I hope management/ owners learn from this experiment.

Super flavorful and huge and juicy but just wasn't into the flavor profile. My husband loved it. The pimento Mac and cheese is definitely more of a preference thing because my daughter said it tastes very "different", my husband thought it tasted like how his mom used to make it which he loved, and I wasn't a fan. It wasn't objectionable but just not my cup of tea. Something to note is that the pimento taste is very mild and not spicy whatsoever for those who may be concerned. Service was good. Great spot to bring your pup. The outdoor area is VERY dog friendly and they have a tap at the end of the bar specifically for filling dog water bowls which they provide. Cool spot with good food.

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.

No gimmicks, just good beer done right. Food held its own too. The wings came out crispy (as they should be--no soggy situations here), and the fries were hot, fresh, and exactly what you want on the side of a cold pint. What really makes the place though is the vibe--friendly, easygoing service that feels like they actually want you there. The kind of spot you could casually become a regular without even trying. Nothing over the top, just consistently good across the board.
