37 Best Seafood Restaurants in Durham

“Great menu and flavorful food!“

“Muy buena comida y buen precio servio rápido y amable 😋😋“

“This restaurant is in a strip mall that completely misleads the quality of this food. I just ordered some to be delivered, it was brought in a paper bag. Think of your seafood cooked in a flavorful soup, then ladled into a plastic bag, then into another plastic bag, then the bags are placed in a paper bag. Seems sketch, right? Probably the best seafood I've had in Durham. Never judge a book by the cover. This food was EXCEPTIONAL. It's tasty, it's messy, and it's worth it.“

“Good eats and excellent hospitality!“

“Had an amazing dinner experience at the bar. Cocktails were really nice with lots of fresh ginger. I loved the steamed cod and mango twister roll. My husband had omakase and said everything was so fresh! I am definitely going to try the omakase next time. M sushi was our favorite meal in Durham during our weekend visit.“

“20250204 The Piney Point Grill is inside the Hilton Doubletree restaurant. So it was convenient in that I was staying at the hotel.
For dinner, I had a salad and grilled salmon with rice pilaf, all of which was good.
For breakfast, I had scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, bacon, sausage, coffee, and orange juice off the buffet. The buffet may have been a bit overpriced for what I had; nevertheless, everything was warm/hot without being overcooked.“

“Great service and great food. We had a long, difficult week, and the kindness and wonderful food really lifted our spirits!“

“It’s rare to find a restaurant that excels in every way, but Parizade truly hit it out of the park! From the warm welcome by my server, Raymond, the exceptional manager, Zhait Ponce and the entire waitstaff, made me feel like family from the moment I walked in. The salmon, potatoes, and unique drink Zhait made me were unforgettable. And the chocolate cake?! To die for! Parizade is now a favorite, and I’ll definitely be bringing more friends and family to experience it. Thank you, Zhait and the Parizade crew, for a perfect dining experience!“

“I love Mayflower the food is delicious. I moved to Durham, NC in the 90s and I am still a fan. Thank you Mayflower. I only and always get Popcorn shrimp with fries. Delicious great customer service and the wait time is 5-10 minutes hot and fresh. Thank you.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp outside for wheelchair access. And there is plenty of room on the inside.“

“I have ordered several custom cakes for special occasions and they have all been delicious! I have a gluten and dairy intolerance and they do an amazing job accommodating both and taking the time to discuss with me my options for cake, frosting and filling flavors. The rest of my family (who can eat gluten and dairy) even LOVE these cakes. They say that they can't tell the difference! The chocolate cake is our favorite.“

“With SID you cannot go wrong!“

“I love a good ribeye, Tony Roma's served me the best, most perfectly cooked, tender ribeye I have EVER eaten in my life! The mashed potatoes and green beans were perfect as well! This was a fantastic meal and our server Vee was fantastic as well. we left miserably full and we will be going back!“

“Me and my daughter went in today (August 14th,2024)... This service was EXCELLENT, we were undecided upon entering. After carefully looking thru everything, we went with the chocolate covered bananas ??... I'm glad we stumbled across this place. I wish I could give them 10 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

Parking: Easy to get in and out
Parking is super easy

“Mixed feelings. Ordering on line was easy. Ordered 3 plates of French toast with eggs and sausage. Arrived and only had to wait a few minutes for my food. I asked for butter and was told they are all out after she looked in the fridge. I was disappointed because I like my French toast with butter. It’s a rare treat. When I asked how could a breakfast establishment be out of butter she then stated “we only include it if you ask”. Sooooo...I’m asking now? Also, there was no option to request butter on line. Every restaurant where I’ve ordered waffles, pancakes or French toast has just included butter. On the positive, the portions were large and the French toast was good. I did not like the way the eggs were made - scrambled with cheese just placed on top instead of mixed in.“

“buena musica y grupos locales“

“My dad used to take us as kids to this Captain D's when we lived in Durham (2000s). He moved to Graham, NC two years ago but he still travels to this restaurant at least once a month. Today, he invited my siblings and I to join him. This time we did not use one table like the old days, we needed three because we each have children of our own! It is always a pleasure dining in because the staff is always extra nice and caring. Today we felt extra loved and cared for, not only by our parents, but by every staff member of Captain D's. I didn't catch everyone's name, but I wanted to give a huge shout out to each and every member that was working today. We were there around 11:47 a.m. and we look forward to going back soon. After all, we enjoy that 40 minute drive, too!“

“This is due to the owner not paying for the services rendered, this service was conducted on Wednesday 6/22/22. I have made several calls with Owner & family aswell, no communication what so ever.This is clearly not wanting to pay for the service. This post will stay up until payment is in full. Furthermore, all services will be discontinued due to not paying as promised.“

“We love this place, the service and the food excellent ! It's like going down the rabbit hole and coming out on the other side in Wonderland! Don't let the age or location of this building fool you. It's definitely worth a visit. This place has the best traditional tacos in all of Durham! The pineapple water is to die for, and each plate of tacos is served with pickled carrots and onions that will drive anyone mad! The staff is always so friendly and our food is always prepared promptly. This really is a family favorite and a must-have at least once or twice a month! I wish they would sell the pickled carrots by the gallon. LOL, they're that good!“

“Muy rica la comida, buen servicio.“

“I love it! The burgers are amazing!!!!!!“

“Great experience but a little pricey.“

“Loved this restaurant! My friend and I took a day trip and found this restaurant close to the hotel. Great environment! The staff was friendly from the moment we walked in. The waitress was on point. The food was amazing with hearty portions. 100% would recommend!“

“Don't understand some of the negative reviews -- the staff has always been very cordial with me (offering me chili oil when I'm getting take-out, which they know I like on the side). When it comes to the food, it's within the top five strip-mall style Chinese restaurants in Durham. It's not "high-end" food, but neither is it your typical Chinese fare that's watered down in terms of spice for the American palate. Dragon Inn has that type of fare available on their regular menu, but if you order from the "Authentic Chinese Dish" section of the menu, you'll find very authentic options, with levels of spice that'll satisfy even the most seasoned -- pun intended -- heat lover.

Might I recommend the Spicy & Pepper Fried Fish Filet? This is like the Chinese version of Fish & Chips, but on steroids in terms of heat.

The take-out in the picture is of their ChongQuing Chili Chicken. The food is so delicious that I order once every couple of weeks or so, as a treat to myself, and wash it down with a craft imperial stout.

Parking: Large lot in front of Ollie's.“

“Fabulous food and always met with a helpful, smiling face. We visit here every time my daughter has to go to Duke Medical. Never disappointed.“
