Owner working hard!!!
Joy R.

This is a sweet little honey pot -situated at the junction of well traveled routes. A favorite to many people in the area. It's not a fancy place but the location is clean and follows covid 19 protocols. I had breakfast and early dinner- simply delicious- this is the kind of place where the patrons want to know where you live- many patrons live in the area or have friends and family that live in the area. A lot of times -the grits on a breakfast plate are lukewarm at best- but they are piping hot on my breakfast platter. The bacon nice and crispy. This is a small in area- diner- but offers several options for breakfast lunch and dinner. The hours varies but opens seven days a week. The servers are friendly and courteous-I usually am hungry after waking- so I'm very appreciative of the friendless and kindness of the owner and hostess and how yummy the food is. I had fried catfish a couple times for early dinner- and the food was just as delicious!

Food is subpar even though there's plenty of opportunities to have some really good fresh food at those prices.

There are various types of crimes, right? Crimes of passion. Crimes against humanity. And then…read morethere is this crime: A restaurant that is universally loved and acclaimed that has been a mainstay in Durham since 2019 (and survived the pandemic when others didn't) has to close their doors because the landlords are a bunch of greedy succubi that decided to double the restaurant rent from - not increase it, not negotiate it - but double it from $21 to $42 because this is Durham and Durham is blowing up. Now keep in mind, this isn't some cozy French bistro that seats three. This is a 4000 square foot establishment that probably seats about 70-80 people, I'm guessing. I spent the better part of three hours there the other night - I'm visiting from San Diego - and got to know Marquee (that is how you spell his name, OK?), Anthony, Christine (that may or may not be how you spell her name, OK?), and the owner, Lisa, and have never felt more saddened by, nor felt the love among them, so powerfully in just about any restaurant I've ever been to. This is truly a family affair. On a bittersweet note, they are still open until next Saturday, September 27 and you would be truly remiss not to stop by. And if you do, you'd be - how should I say this? - a loser if you don't try their buttermilk cheddar biscuits which are rhapsodic. The braised pork belly was inspired, too, served with their Carolina barbecue sauce and a wonderfully tangy purple and green slaw. I am truly fortunate to have caught them before things went south and feel honored to have not just met, but got to know, however slightly, the team behind Plum. Kudos, guys. And if the property landlords are reading this: You're homewreckers, have put people out work, robbed Durham of an extraordinary restaurant and are basically a bunch of assholes.

We made a reservation and were seated upon arrival. Our host was Anthony, I think his name was, with a keen interest for ginkgo trees. He was very attentive, friendly and extremely helpful. He took her order and had some good suggestions. I was craving shrimp and grits which was probably the most unique shrimp and grits. I've had ever. Very distinct flavor and still very rich and familiar. The shrimp were large and juicy as well as remained crunchy overall cooked very well. We also had the summer tomato and burata salad which was really refreshing and delicious. My friend ordered the mac and cheese which is a hefty serving size. Definitely a shareable side or a main for one person. Our host came to check on us frequently, our Waters never went empty. Other hosts were also helping check in on us which was nice. The restaurant itself is large. Booth tables available, which made for a cozy environment. We ended the night with some brownie a la mode, which was the perfect dessert to have on a hot summer day. Overall the experience was amazing, great food and incredibly nice people. Definitely Miss miss the southern hospitality of Durham. Definitely recommend a try here at plum Southern kitchen & bar.

Visiting from Chicago for Black August (my first time in NC). My friend wanted to check this place…read moreout and so we did! We made a reservation online for Sunday brunch. We reserved for the rooftop but unfortunately they were short staffed and so we sat in the main restaurant area with live musicians! It was a nice pivot! The ambiance in the restaurant is very pleasant! It's bright, has beautiful Black art in the wall, and feels spacious, and yet cozy. I ordered the L&S loaded grits and my friend had the red velvet pancakes and chicken. I enjoyed the grits, very flavorful and filling. They were "juicier" than I'm used to but that may be a regional difference from what I'm accustomed to! My friend's chicken and waffles were amazing! The waffles tasted like a mix between a donut, cake and a waffle! Really tasty! Our server was also very attentive and kind! It was a great experience! Would recommend!

Y'all. This is truly a gem. A dear friend and I are having…read morea girls' weekend in Durham and were looking for an unpretentious dinner spot with great food. We frikkin' found it! Quaint, spotless, Frank Sinatra & Sam Cooke playing thru the speakers, a lovely server & bartender, and the food... For mains, I had the Duck Gumbo with a side of collards & my friend had the Angry Yard Bird Mac & Cheese. Everything was an impressively elevated version of familiar comfort food. BUT, Y'ALL, we shared the fried green tomatoes for a starter. Now, I've eaten fried green tomatoes many times in many, many places. These were the best I've ever had. Hands down. No contest. The pimento cheese just takes them to an entirely different level. I'm sure I'll be thinking about them long after I leave NC. Ugh. Can you make friends with food and then miss it when you're away? Apparently so. For your own sake, get yourself to Lula and Sadie's and order those fried green tomatoes.
