My husband and I went there tonight to watch the game and the quickest seating was in the bar. So, we sat down in the bar, ordered some drinks and an appetizer, and enjoyed the multiple screens. There was a game of pool going on in the back part of the bar and the folks who were playing were really loud. Furthermore, we had to ask for refills, our entrees came after the table next to us got theirs and we were seated first, and the bathroom was really dirty and one of the doors didn't lock properly. The spinach/artichoke dip with tortilla chips was really tasty. Unfortunately, our hamburgers and fries were more hit and miss. My husband's fries were cold and looked like they had been the last of a batch because there were lots of small bits and crumbs. My fries were so hot that I couldn't pick one up and were covered with grease. While the burgers were better, they were overcooked and the lettuce was wilted. Apparently, ketchup was scarce and the bottle that our server brought us was empty before we had finished with our not so great fries. Overall, I was really disappointed and so was my husband. In the future, we might just make the trek to the Carolina Ale House at Brier Creek rather than being disappointed in Durham.
