First meal in NC for me! Friends took me here and it was their first time too, but it came highly recommended. Ordering is like a cafeteria line. Staff at the front takes your order of protein/sides, and you wait for them to put it together. I opted for a fried chicken plate which included full wings and drums, collard greens, and mac and cheese. The fried chicken is fried fresh, and comes out piping hot! Chicken is juicy and the crunch is perfect. I enjoyed the mac and cheese the most out of the sides. Staff was friendly and offered us complimentary cake as well since it was our first time. These plates come large...so I would actually share a plate with one other person. Parking lot attached as well. Definitely a must visit when you're in the Durham area!
The Owner takes the time to talk with each guest. I am sure this place has been in the neighborhood for a while. The food was great. The fried chicken was amazing. Also enjoyed the collards and free drinks. The customer service was an extra nice touch.
GO GET THIS FRIED CHICKEN ASAP!!! OMG My mouth is watering as I type this just thinking about those collards. The chicken is fried fresh to order, extra crispy and juicy. The mac & cheese- just look at the pics *yum* The owners couldn't be friendlier; they welcomed us when we walked in, helped us through the ordering process, and we had a great conversation with them after our meal. Tre (the owner) even gave us a piece of red velvet cake and carrot cake that we ate when we got home. Red velvet is my favorite cake, and this was obviously home made, and one of the best I've ever tasted. The Chicken Hut is soul food and southern hospitality at its finest! Portions are huge and the price is right ($14.99 for my meal that also included a drink and hush puppies.) My only regret is that we didn’t try the peach cobbler and fried shrimp. Go here if you're ever in Durham. (Now I'm trying to figure out if 3 1/2 hours is too far to drive just for lunch hahaha)
I have lived in the RDU area for 20+ years and had never heard of this place until two days ago. Well it definitely measured up to what I heard. This was some good ole Grandma’s home cooking!!
Small spot loved by the locals. I ordered the meatloaf with yams and mac & cheese. The meatloaf had way too many onions but tasty. Yams could have used a little syrup and the mac & cheese.....idk. Just not to my liking. Which I was surprised due to all the southern type foods. The cake and tea way to sweet. The staff was very kind and attentive.
