Review by Jayda Howell

The Blue Note Grill is a hidden gem in Durham, NC! 🎶 The lively atmosphere is enhanced by fantastic live music, especially on jam nights.

I indulged in their BBQ ribs, which were fall-off-the-bone tender and perfectly seasoned; they truly are heavenly! The fried okra was a popular side, and I can see why - it was delicious!

Make sure to try the banana pudding poke cake next time; I was too full but heard it's a must! With quick service, great cocktails, and a welcoming vibe, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Can’t wait to come back! 🍽️
