Folks!!! This is the place for a fantastic meal, any time of day. My husband and I were traveling for work and this place was close by. I was just blown away by how flavorful and well prepared the meals were. Very attentive staff, service excellent and man that Fish Sandwich was bigger than my face! Literally the BEST breading on all the fried foods we had. Super clean and decorated with local passion.

Y’all. If you’re ever in Durham, the only place you want to eat is It’s a Southern Thing. Fried green tomatoes with homemade pimento cheese. Pulled pork with vinegar bbq sauce, collard greens, slaw, homemade hush puppies and fries. Lynnwood Brewing’s (out of Raleigh) Hop on Top. American IPA. I haven’t had a meal this good in I don’t know how long. And the service was first-rate!

Food was amazing! Fried ribs were tender, collard greens were seasoned and flavorful so were the fries. Also not shown- wings cooked extra crispy with buffalo garlic sauce, BLT salad with salmon. Everything was delic.

It's Sunday and I'm used to brunching after church, so why should I do less just because I'm in Durham, NC. Well Dunham is a lot different from the DMV, they don't really brunch and they sure don't do bottomless, luckily It's a Southern thing does both. I said hey found one spot that does bottomless, he said do they have food you can eat, I said yes, he said say less and we headed to brunch. Parking was not free and not our customary Park mobile, so it took us a little minute to register the truck and pay to park. We walked half a block and up the stairs to the restaurant. Though we didn't have a reservation, we were seated immediately. Kay was our server and when she heard we were visiting, she was full of suggestions. She made sure we knew about the bottomless mimosas and when I say bottomless, that's what I mean. There was a young lady walking around topping off your glass. Two sips gone and there she was topping off your glass. We had to tell her to stop lol. On the the food, he had never had fried green tomatoes, so we had to get an order. The tomatoes were delicious and served over pimento cheese. That cheese put the tomatoes over the top. He enjoyed them so much, he ordered the eggs blackstone with the fried green tomatoes and I ordered the Cajun salmon cake Bene. Both came with hash browns and fruit. There was an issue where someone took our order to a table with the same order. The manager came over and was very apologetic. We had no idea and didn't care as we were enjoying the mimosas and conversation, but truly appreciated her taking the time to let us know what happened. We decided to swap one of our benes. Let me tell you, he got the better of the dishes. Though there wasn't much to his dish, it was flavorful and seasoned well. My salmon cake, on the other hand, was bland with no seasoning and definitely nothing Cajun. The garlicky spinach added some flavor, but not enough. The hash browns were seasoned really well. They were crispy on the outside yet soft and pillowy on the inside. If I'm ever in Durham again on a Sunday, I will definitely return. Forgot to take pics of the green tomatoes and before we started eating, but at least I got half lol.

If you want to enjoy your meal, don't take their 1:30 reservation offering on a Sunday. I drove 2.5 hrs to meet my sons and their girlfriends for lunch and we went here. We sat at 1:25pm outside on a gorgeous Sunday. The 1st thing they say to us is the kitchen closes at 145 and you have to leave by 245pm. Not, "hi", "how are you", welcome". Then she came back with menus, no utensils, no water (asked 3x for). She still did no introduction and was like what do you want. I wanted to get up and leave but we were there, and it was lovely outside. My 1 son was not gonna make it by 145 so we ordered for them. Food was decent. Very rushed. Wait staff was aweful. Probably why on top of their menu said 15% gratuity added to every bill. Well, the bill came and of course, I forgot about the 15% gratuity added. Again, very rushed by the staff so I didn't look at bill, my mistake, and I added 20% gratuity. We were told to leave the patio outside , around the back very abruptly because they were cleaning (we left before 245 because we were trying to be respectful). We had to use restrooms but they wouldn't let us.. So on a $200 bill in less than 45 minutes, these very rude waitstaff made $70. If a restaurant is going to include gratuity, they should at least remind the person when they bring the bill, "gratuity included, any extra would be appreciated". Or be nice! The food was good, but there are a lot of amazing restaurants in Durham and I'd skip this one.
