Ribs were outstanding! Great green beans and Mac too. Solid beer selection and the venue/stage is a perfect addition

Jason Kubota

Good music , stupid place for a dance floor though. You can't leave the place without getting to second base with half the 30-something divorcées of S Durham. Which I suppose isn't always a bad thing

Dan Griffin

A clean new location, just as if the old location pulled up roots and planted down again, same people, food, and music . Get there early to get a seat.

Paul S

My favorite place in Durham. Perfect balance of music , beer and barbecue .
