    Pulled Chicken ??
    Jennifer D.

    Ordered a combo meal with 2 meats and 2 sides. For $20 I was a little taken aback by how small it was? I love bbq and order my fair share but have not seen portions this small from anywhere else. The "smoked" turkey wasn't smoky at all. The pulled chicken was mixed with mayo? That's a first... potato salad is decent and same with cole slaw. Certainly nothing to write home about! Not impressed and a tad annoyed, but hey, at least I know where not to head back to!

    The service was fast and kind! The meat had so much flavor in each type. The fries came out hot and crunchy! Every bite was delicious. Im glad I dropped in between doctor visits!

    LoLo's Pulled Pork, 3-Cheese Baked Mac

    Before I moved to North Carolina, you would never catch me with coleslaw on my plate, but that all changed the first time I tried Lolo's pulled pork sandwich. Something about the mix of the swine wine sauce and the creamy yet crunchy slaw just makes for the absolute perfect combo and now, more than 8 years later, I'm a slaw-on-my-pulled-pork-sandwich convert! Truly, all thanks to this sandwich. And over all these years, it's remained consistently delicious. Service here is usually pretty good! Staff is friendly when you order and pickup at the counter. That's all you'll really interact with them. Pre-COVID times, there were pickles and onions for your sandwiches and lemon wedges for your tea set out in a condiment bar by the self-service sauce and drink stations--that hasn't come back. Now things sit empty and collect random straw wrappers and lids because customers can't be bothered to put their trash in the correct bins and as is the case in most food service locations, they're too understaffed to have people maintaining the dining area. It's off-putting when the receptacles for dirty dishes are overflowing during busy rushes. So I'm taking off a star for ambiance only because things don't feel as clean as they could be. Again, with staffing issues, it still feels like they're doing the best they can and prioritizing getting quality food to you fast.

    You know a BBQ place is excellent if they 1) sell meat by the pound and 2) have paper towel rolls at the tables instead of napkins. Check those boxes for City Barbeque. Great brisket, juicy chicken, ribs were perfect with a great pull, seasonal cucumber and onion side was tasty and not sweet, green beans and bacon side definitely had a subtle bacon flavor and the beans were not overcooked and the Hoppyum IPA was hopyummy. Everyone behind the counter was really friendly and they brought out a couple of slower items directly to my table. I will definitely be back. Remember to tip well. They all work hard there.

    City Barbecue is one of my go-to places. It's always good, always reliable, and I love their sweet city bbq sauce! I usually always order to-go, but this restaurant is clean and has a good amount of seating. I love their baked beans and their pulled pork! Their ribs are pretty good too. My absolute favorite is the corn pudding - I highly recommend. The staff is also very nice here.

    I loved my experience in this bbq place! The menu offers quite a few delicious and affordable options. I ordered the chicken sandwich with cole slaw and the banana pudding for dessert. Oh yeah! It was good. This City Barbeque is located in a centrally located space with its own free parking lot. Overall, good stuff!

    The pulled pork was not good at all. It's a nice place with a well fitting ambience but I was not a fan of the food

    "Sandwich shop just off University Dr in Durham"…read more Came here for an evening dinner with a friend. We arrived around 5:45pm, and there was ample parking, but I will say the place was HOPPING by the time we left at 6:30pm. The decor is very cute-- old-style, good seating and a bar area as well. You order at the table, and food comes to you. My dining mate got the Cypriot (Halloumi, Fig, Arugula, Tomato, Pesto) with a side of curly fries, and I wasn't very hungry so I got the Beyond Meat Chicken Tenders kids meal with a side salad. I also got a delicious bottled sparkling lemonade. Service was fine-- food comes after order, but you're mostly on your own once food is delivered, as expected. We got a couple of napkins with the food, but there are more self-serve up in the counter. Just don't expect someone to check on you or anything. The food was GREAT. My dining partner loved her sandwich (commented especially on the fig spread) and fries, and I really liked my meal as well. The side salad was surprisingly delicious, especially the addition of pickled red onion. The place was clean-- I went to the restroom, too, and everything was stocked well. Price was very fair. Overall, I'd happily come back. Easy, priced well, delicious. Not a place where you get a lot of "attention", but great for a simple meal.

    Second time here…read more Great sandwich options and large portions! Options for vegan diets that's still keeps essence of original sandwich which I appreciated (impossible chicken tenders for cutlets). Great space! Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. I discovered the garden this time around and enjoyed sitting out there for my meal. Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was not very busy. Ordered the mozzarella sticks and the chicken cutlet sandwich (regular). The sticks were amazing with the sauce! The SS which bread was so fresh and soft as was the chicken cutlet. I wish it had more sauce and a little salt pepper vinegar splash would have gone a long way. A good sandwich but the most amazing or most flavorful sandwich I've ever had. Can't stress how fresh everything tasted though and it was huge only ate half.

    "Great deli-style sandwiches, from rather hidden location on Chapel Hill Rd"…read more Came by here on a Saturday. This place is REALLY hard to find... it's behind the State Farm building, but there's barely any signage from the street. (Note: some photos here in Yelp seem to be from an older location.) We actually came one Saturday, but it was unexpectedly closed, but we caught them the following one, so good to call and confirm before driving over. You walk up to a door on the back, and scan a QR code to see the menu. Then knock on/ open the door and someone will come to take your order. Then you wait outside and they bring you your sandwiches. The lady who took our order was very friendly. The kitchen was rather large, so I suspect it's used for more than just this business. We ordered two turkey subs-- the East New York (which was slightly spicy) and the Dumbo. Wait time was maybe 7-10 minutes or so. Both sandwiches came nicely wrapped, and I think total cost was a little over $20. And conveniently, they take Apple Pay. These were not your Subway or Quiznos sandwiches-- these were DELICIOUS pressed sandwiches (we got them on focaccia. I personally liked the Dumbo the best-- it had a nice mix of flavors that meshed well. The East New York was solid and had a nice spiciness, but not quite as exciting overall. Would I come back? Probably, but since there's no seating, and it's a bit awkward, maybe not the first place I'd think to try, but again, the sandwiches were REALLY good. I do think it may be excellent for catering or for getting picnic sandwiches though.

    So glad I found this spot. After reading the reviews, I knew I would get my money's worth and the…read moreingredients were fresh. First of all, the bread is soft and has a nice bite, holds the juices of a sandwich well and was fresh. I got the Cobble Hill sandwich and the turkey was really good. Also the size is amazing for the price. When you get there, it feels like you're in the wrong place or entering in the wrong way, but you're not. I asked if this was the sandwich spot and a young man took my order and made my sandwich within 5 min. And there is enough parking behind the State Farm building to pull up and get your sandwich I can't wait to go back and try the Italian and cheesesteak sandwiches.

    We were visiting Raleigh, NC and stopped by Dulce Cafe since it was close to the museum we were…read morevisiting. I had the Italian Panini with avocado (the avocado is an extra charge), and it was absolutely delicious. I also tried the La Poire dessert, and it was so good. It wasn't overly sweet or too rich, just very natural and perfectly balanced. We came on a Friday around 1 PM and even though there were about 10 people ahead of us, the line moved smoothly and there was plenty of seating both inside and outside. The customer service was top notch, and the staff was very welcoming. We'll definitely be visiting again. Also... whoever the guy is with the bracelets, black hair, glasses, and accent, he definitely added a little extra charm to the experience aka very very attractive.

I think this was an Italian bakery...and it had a truly sensational selection of pastry items, some which were quite arty and unique!! They were also somewhat pricey...but I wanted to try so many. I ended up trying this dessert called "The Fun Guy". It looked like a Mushroom, but inside, it was just heavenly bliss! (I included a pic with all the ingredients inside) Truly, it ranks as one of the best desserts I've had in a LONG time. That's saying a lot, given how I go to bakeries a LOT! I will say, however, that their Iced Latte, wasn't that great. Still, for the bakery selection, I'll be happy to return here any day!

    Rating based on: consistency, cleanliness, quality, taste, and presentation…read more This place SLAPS so hard you think you're Chris Rock at the Oscars. I came here expecting greatness because the reviews were already talking crazy, and honestly, they were right. This is not some fancy five-star, velvet-rope, tuxedo situation. It is clean, modern, contemporary, and the staff was attentive. Service was impeccable. But sugar, honey, iced tea ...this review is about the food. I got the half cheesesteak so I could leave room for the Parmesan French fries, and that was the move. Now about the star of the show: this cheesesteak is so good it might split your wig back. Tender. Juicy. Scrumptious. 100% beef chopped up with grilled onions and charred green peppers, plus I opted for the cheddar cheese. Every bite was filling, rich, and straight-up delicious. The bread held up, the cheese did its job, and the whole thing tasted like somebody inside that kitchen actually is a foodie.. Then come those Parmesan deep-fried French fries ....immaculate. Crispy, salty not too salty, cheesy, and gone way too fast. The menu choices were solid too, especially the roasted garlic duck fat mayo. That alone lets you know they are not f**ing around. If you are in Durham and looking for a cheesesteak spot, hit this place up ASAP like Rocky.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while, but the hours are rather limited- 4pm to 8pm…read moreTuesday through Saturday. We wanted to try for lunch, but that's not possible, and then we wanted to try on a Monday, but that didn't work out either. Anyway, we finally placed an online pickup order for a Saturday dinner. We tried a surf and turf (steak and shrimp) with cheese and onions- we paid extra for peppers but they left those off. We also tried a chicken, bacon and cheddar, which I liked better. We also got an order of lemon pepper fries. The restaurant was clean and fresh when we went in to pick up our food. I liked the retro vibes of the tables. The food was hot and tasty, but I wish they were open for lunch because I like to eat a little healthier at dinner.

I ordered mine on pressed focaccia bread and everything from the juicy crispy chicken to the parmesan cheese and toppings was top notch. Each of the flavors and textures played so well together that it's hard to stop eating after taking the first bite. Came on a Monday around 1pm and there was no line. Inside the shop was a classic deli where you order at the counter and then browse the various goods/merch while you wait. Service was fast and the sandwiches came out within 5 minutes of ordering. There are a couple picnic tables outside to sit and eat but other than that, mostly a to-go place. First timers: get the Uncle Primo's, you won't regret it!

But if the line were shorter in the future I'd come back and try other yummies from the menu.
