We have been going here for the last 34 years. Through several different owners and we keep coming back. Simple menu, great southern food for breakfast. Prices fair and reasonable and I love supporting a local place.

The fried chicken and chicken and duplings here are absolutely the best around Durham. Mrs. Sue is really nice and loves to cut up with customers. Let me not forget to mention the life changing banana pudding.

Very nice mom and pops place to stop in and get some home cooked breakfast or lunch. I have only eaten the breakfast here but the breakfast platter with eggs, grits, bacon or fat back and toast are definitely fulfilling.

This is the premiere breakfast place in Durham. The price is right and the quality of the food exceeds expectations. It doesn't look like much but you'll be glad you stoped in. Try the salmon patties, thank me later
