"We arrived around 5:15, just as Happy Hour was winding down. The Happy Hour menu featured a selection of about four or five cocktails and a similar number of snack options, which was quite good. We tried the tater tots and the ceviche tostada; the tots were crispy and pretty standard, while the ceviche tostada was quite tasty. For our main course, we had the RKB burger and fries, both of which were packed with flavor. For dessert, we opted for the black forest chocolate cake and the lemon tart, and both were delicious as well. The service was excellent, and the ambiance felt cozy and relaxed. I definitely plan to return and would recommend it to others."

"We were greeted promptly. When seated the hostess explained that they were in the process of changing out their menu so she only had 1 available for our party of 4 to look at. It took 10 minutes for our server to approach us. The restaurant only had 4 other tables of people dining at 6:15 pm. The two different glasses of wine that we ordered tasted stale (red wine tastes like vinegar if opened a few days). The Moscow Mule tasted horrible. When the food arrived the rib tips were extremely tough. My husband ordered a loaded sweet potato and they left off the pecans. They did make it right and give him a brand new one. This establishment has really gone downhill from 2 years ago. There is better BBQ in the city."

"This is the best Italian restaurant and catering service in the area. I've worked nearby and discovered this gem, and after visiting several times, I can confidently say it's fantastic. The pizza, broccoli rabe, and other Italian dishes are delicious, but what really stands out is the outstanding service. Whether you’re dining in for lunch or ordering catering, you feel like part of a family here. If you think the food is great, just wait until you experience the warmth and friendliness of the staff. I recently stopped by for a coffee, and when I asked for a second cup, they generously offered it on the house. I give this restaurant and catering service a perfect 5/5—amazing food, amazing people, and an amazing experience overall!"

"Pappadeaux used to be my go to easy fix when It came to Creole style food, until recently. If you frequent this restaurant on Pasquinelli Dr. make sure you hold your breath while ordering, you'll never know when your favorites will be taken off the menu. I was devastated to find that their most popular Lobster Bisque soup was no longer on the menu. My disbelief got the best of me, as I went back and forth with the bartender, he couldn't even rationalize the change. I used to love their fried alligator but as of lately, I can't help but notice the familiar taste of fishy grease, yuck! We waited 1:45 minutes for bar seating. I ordered a large Swampthing, which I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of liquor in the drink, you pay $3 more when you order the large. My alcohol tolerance is pretty standard so I'll say if you want a good buzz you'll be fine with one drink. You will need a reservation for a table, bar seating is first come first serve. I would recommend reserving a table at least 3 hours before the time you would like to reserve as the tables go very quickly. Weekend visits, I would say at least a week out. I can't say I would go back as I'm not a fan of major changes to menus. My grandma used to say if it ain't broke don't fix it!"

"I was about to type a generic good food good service sentence and my husband reminded me about the cornbread croutons. For dinner one Thursday evening we were in town and decided to try the Lazy Dog. I ordered the Southern Fried Chicken salad and atop the salad were cornbread croutons. These are delicious little bites of cornbread baked as croutons and I wish I could buy them by the bagful. Appetizer we tried was fried deviled eggs, and I understand that sounds weird, but whoa they were excellent and tasty with a small piece of the bacon candy adorning their greatness. My husband ordered the PB&J burger (which included bacon candy yum) and the bite I tried was very good. The side of pickled cucumbers was a small dish of thinly sliced cucumbers that had been pickled in vinegar with radishes, also tasty. I also ordered and drank a Huckleberry Mule which definitely could have used more vodka as the ginger beer fought the flavors of the lemon and huckleberry pretty fiercely. We would eat here again."

"Sadly as locals attending an event on the strip we were excited to try Virgil’s. Unfortunately is was not good. Not only was the food brought to us cold but our server didn’t come check in. The brisket was not even warm and very rubbery. The trash ribs were cold as well but at least eatable. Ironically for a BBQ place the only thing arriving to the table hot and tasty was the veggie tacos our teen ordered. Our teen and I both order costly iced teas that were empty before food was delivered and no one came around for a refill. After reading some other reviews we realized this is an on going experience and customers blamed for not bringing it up to staff. This is terrible as our server was MIA for 20 minutes post food delivery. Bussing staff came and asked if we were finished and we said yes. Only at that point did our server come over and offered us our check if we were ready! I will pass this review to locals and visitors alike as it’s important to spend money at places wanting to do better and deliver excitable service. As a person in customer service for 25 years, the customer should never be to blame for poor performance."

"This past Friday night my family and I went out to eat at this restaurant for my mother’s birthday. We ordered an appetizer, drinks as well as our food. We received our food before the appetizer and I assume the waitress didn’t even put the appetizer in. So I just told her to take the appetizer off the bill. My family and I ordered two steaks Medium, one steak medium well, and the other well done. Our steaks came out medium well for the two that ordered medium. Then my daughter received well done instead of medium well and the one that ordered well done received a steak that was medium well. Each steak was $60 each so you would expect that it would be prepared the way you wanted it. After telling the waitress she blamed the people who brought the steaks which wasn’t their fault it was the one who clearly cooked the steaks. Then the waitress avoided us like the plague. The manager came out and apologized she was very nice and gave us one steak to take home with two desserts. They brought the dessert out and she came right behind them with another dessert because they brought out the wrong one. This was my first experience going to this restaurant and after paying over $200 for a meal my family and I didn’t nget what we paid for. We will not ever go back to this restaurant. I hope no one has to experience what we did at this restaurant."

"My family was visiting me and wanted to have some BBQ, so we decided to try this place. After ordering we waited 45 minutes for our food, and only 2 out of the 4 meals were right. We tried to explain the situation to the man who took our order behind the counter. We were very understanding that they were short staffed and was just hoping to have the order corrected. Instead that man was snippy with us and said “I sent out four plates” and was confused why we wanted the correct order. We gave him the receipt showing him how wrong the order was and he was still rude to us! A true man-Karen! My meal was one of them which was messed up and it took over an hour to get my food out. When it finally came out, I had to put on so much hot sauce to actually make it taste alright. The man-Karen offered to refund my meal yet never did (I didn’t initiate asking for the refund, but maybe he realized how rude he was and was trying to save-face). I’m embarrassed that this is the memory my family has of Durham, since it painted the picture of rude hospitality and disgusting sanitation (almost all the tables inside and under the shaded patio were full of dishes the bathrooms resembled gas station bathrooms). Will never ever waste my money here again."

"We dropped by for lunch yesterday with plans to have crepes and frozen yogurt. The employee informed us that they no longer serve frozen yogurt, only ice cream. This was confusing as frozen yogurt was one of the main reasons we used to frequent the restaurant, which was still being advertised. It's possible that the employee had difficulty understanding English. The crepes were good and the atmosphere was nice. It's a shame about the frozen yogurt if that's indeed the case."

"Decided to hit up a local brewery and chose here with my gal and best freind. Food: Exceptional. We had the Buffalo Cauliflower for an appetizer and it was awesome. We all ordered a different burger and each of couldn 't stop bragging we 'd ordered the best one. Because they all came out great. Service: Outstanding! Our hostess went out of her way to ensure we ordered the right beverages. She brought us a sample of each beer they made. Her personality was warm, friendly, and caring. BTW, her name is Kelly. And she was hands down one of the best servers we 've had in a long time. Atmosphere: Cozy Comfortable. This place feels like your at a mountain lodge only decked out with some of most unique dog art we 'd ever seen. It provided us with visual aesthetically entertaining dog features in every direction. If that wasn 't stimulating enough, they also had multiple televisions set up running several sports games to capture your attention. It all made for a very enjoyable experience. Update!!!: Third Times a Charm Three visits to date since first checking this place out and BAMMM every time they consistently leave us extremely pleased we went there! They 've got excellent food without question but going out and enjoying truly yourself requires a step above the rest. Lazy Dog of Ventura 's atmosphere is that of a cozy lodge like setting yet found in location you 'd almost never expect. And best of all, their staff consistantly provides patrons with superior attitudes, personalized attention, and a unquestably joyful experience. Nat was our recently host server 's name. And he like the others there flat knocked it out the park! BTW, he went out of his way to give us a few cool alternative places to go out and have a good time at. It was like having a hip local tour guide tell us where the local in places where located. We found Nat is also a talented Pianist that plays regularly at a place called, The Grape. We 'll definitely be checking that venue out. If his music is anything like his presence we 're bound to have an equally great time. Thanks Nat! And thanks to the management for having the insight to maintain a great team of folks for us consumers! PS The Tortilla soup is flipping awesome!!!"

"I ordered a Caesar Salad and a Three Thieves Pinot Grigio that I hadn’t tried before. While the wine had an appealing aroma, it was extremely bitter. As for the salad, the dressing was definitely not a Caesar dressing; if you closed your eyes and tasted it, you wouldn’t be able to identify it. The croutons were among the hardest I’ve ever encountered, leaving me quite disappointed. I don’t usually order dessert, but I opted for the chocolate brownie sundae this time. That was definitely a hit and I would order it again! Now, regarding the service: it was not busy at all, yet it took 10 minutes for a waitress to come to my table. After bring the wine menu, she vanished. Once I received my salad, she didn’t check on me for a good 40 minutes and only appeared later to process my payment. She never inquired about how my food was or if I needed anything else. I had to stop her from rushing me to pay so I could request dessert. After she brought it out, it took another 10 minutes for her to return and check on me. They close at midnight, and I wasn’t the only customer there. I wasn’t trying to linger until closing time, and I found her attempts to hurry me out quite off-putting. Despite my frustration with both the food and the service, I still left her a decent tip. Will I return? No, the food quality hasn’t improved since my first visit, and there are other places nearby with better food and service."

"The staff was very caring and nice. Everyone looked presentable while being prompt with food delivery. They were very caring for the lunch crowd. I had the pleasure of visiting this location finally after going to the Sherwood location for most of my childhood. The choice of building and interior design is very daunting and doesn't offer the brand justice. When I entered the location for the first time it felt like I was visiting a penitentiary. The bars covering the windows aren't very inviting therefore I hope to see a future where the location gets a new Venue as soon as possible. I do plan on returning with my family soon! Thank you for the service"

"This was our first visit. We were warmly greeted. The service was excellent. Never had to ask for anything. I had the special salad with homegrown heirloom tomatoes and watermelon. The tomatoes were so fresh they didn 't even taste like a tomato, delicious! My husband had the Sunday special, which is prime rib; he said it was also amazing. Then we had a piece of chocolate cake. Very moist. We will keep this a special occasion place. They are moving to a new location, so we look forward to going there. There is one thing I was surprised about. We were asked if we wanted bread for the table. It was a breadbasket, very delicious, with a couple of different slices of bread and two different butter spreads. The charge was $3. I was surprised they charged for the bread. That is my only negative. We just won 't get it next time, nothing special. We will go back!"

"Have eaten here before but usually eat at the buffet but on this particular day I opted to select from the menu so I order the beef short ribs it took awhile but when the food arrived I was impressed with the portion size so I felt it was worth the wait that is until I bit into the short ribs they tasted boiled the dressing was dry like sand and the greens tasted like leaves but I was hungry so I attempted to endure but fare two more bites I couldn’t eat anymore I presented my complaint to what I believe was the manager who did his investigation then returned and wanted me to pay for this disgusting meal I offered to pay half he the said I either pay for the meal or he would call the police well I guess he called the police because I left I dont usually walk out with out paying even though the food was repulsive I would have paid but when the jerk threatened me with the police I left not only did u serve me some terrible food you totally disrespected me with the police threat I sincerely hope your door close soon this is a poor excuse for a soul food restaurant"
