    I grew up in Durham and live close by. I took my mother for her 94th Birthday brunch on a Sunday morning at 11. The restaurant was filling up and a bit noisy, however the service and food were outstanding. Our server Akin R. was the most polite, informative and tentative person I have encountered in a long time. His descriptions of the meals would make your mouth water. We ordered the garden omelet, crab cake bene and the chicken fried steak with a side of collard greens and two (2) Bloody Mary (Spicey and not so spicey). The food and drinks were off the chart. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone who enjoys southern style food, drinks and hospitality.

    WE loved It's A Southern Thing in Durham! The staff was friendly and goes out of their way for you. I don't eat meat so I usually have Shrimp and Grits, however, they had a plant based Fried Chicken Sandwich and usually, the "chicken" is usually mushy. The server said it was very good and crispy. She was right! It was delicious! A lot of their entrees are offered without meat. Only bad thing was we ordered Banana Pudding and Key Lime Pie which I heard were fabulous and they were out of it! So if you are interested, order it early! As it happens, we went back for brunch and they had it. Absolutely a must have!

    Our servers were wonderfully accommodating and patient with my parents, of which my father had recently suffered a stroke and can’t see on his left side. I was beyond pleased with the service and the food was scrumptious.

    Very friendly and welcoming staff. Food was amazing! Biscuits had a crispy buttery golden outside with cloud like fluffy delicious inside. The raspberry jam was pure raspberry flavor and not all sugar. The best home fries we have had- tender chunks with wonderful seasoning that was NOT spicy just incredibly flavorful. Each bite was crispy with a slight crunch as home fries should be. The historic building added charm. We sat on the small patio that overlooked the lawns of the apartments within the same building complex. We live an hour away, but we will return for weekend brunch or dinner in the future. It is so worth the drive and the prices were very good for all you get in portions and flavor! This is a must go!

    Food was terrific and only surpassed by the service. I highly recommend the catfish, my wife the smoked chicken and my son the fried green tomatoes. Drinks were also fantastic.

    An amazing experience from start to finish. From the food to the service everything was perfect. The menu is so diverse it’s hard to make a choice! My wife got the fried chicken sandwich and I got bbq chicken. Some of the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had and I’m picky! We will return here again soon.

    Got our table right away. Recommendations from server were on points. French fries could have been crisper. Love drinks and the creative naming!

    We had a reservation and the hostess sat us immediately. The server came over and took our drink and food order, but never brought our drinks. Apps came out before the bartender finally brought drinks, including tea that the waitress showed up with much later. When she saw we already had the tea, she turned around and went back to wherever she was hiding. Food came shortly thereafter and it was delicious. A 15% tip is included on all checks, so maybe the server thought she didn’t need to be very attentive. We still tipped her more, though it was really deserved.

Preguntas frecuentes

Yes, while there’s no formal list provided, guests report attentive, accommodating staff. Call the restaurant ahead to request seating preferences (patio, early table), mention dietary needs or ask about menu availability. For large parties or specific accommodations, it’s best to call so the team can prepare.

Yes, families dine here regularly and guests frequently celebrate birthdays and bring children. The menu includes Southern comfort dishes that appeal to many ages, though there’s no formal kids’ menu mentioned in the available information. If you’re bringing young children, consider an earlier seating or the patio for a more relaxed experience.

The vibe is lively, friendly and Southern, a mix of cozy Southern charm and a hip Durham energy. Guests describe fun, relaxed surroundings with upbeat music, a good bar program, TVs near the bar, and an atmosphere that’s great for dates, pre-show dinners and group outings. It can be noisy at peak times, so expect a spirited dining room rather than a quiet, formal setting.

Family-friendly seating: yes, guests often bring kids and multigenerational groups, and parties with grandchildren and birthdays are commonly mentioned. Accessible seating: not clearly stated in available information, so call ahead if you need wheelchair-accessible seating or specific accommodations. Staff are described as friendly and accommodating, so the team is likely willing to help plan your visit.

Yes, it’s a great choice for a casual, lively date night. Guests frequently praise the food, cocktails and warm service, and several mention visiting for date nights or before shows at nearby DPAC. Expect a fun, Southern-inspired atmosphere with creative drinks and comfort-food plates that make for an easy, flavorful evening. If you want a quieter table, ask for a patio spot or an early seating when you book.

Portions are generous, guests repeatedly describe the servings as large and filling. Several reviews call out big portions for brunch and dinner items (catfish, shrimp and grits, mac and cheese), and many say the plates are good value for the price. If you’d like to sample more items, consider sharing an appetizer or taking a to-go box home.

Casual dress is appropriate, the owner describes the spot as casual dining with relaxed Southern hospitality. Guests typically arrive in comfortable, casual attire for brunch, pre-show dinners and nights out.

Yes, guests repeatedly mention enjoying the patio and outdoor seating. Several reviews describe sitting on the patio and recommend it for a pleasant meal when weather permits. If you prefer outdoor dining, request the patio when you book.

Weekdays (especially early weeknights or lunch) and early Sunday evenings are often the most relaxed. If you prefer lively energy and bottomless mimosas, visit on weekend brunch. Guests recommend weekday or pre-show reservations to avoid crowds and enjoy attentive service.
