The Skillet at Duke University is the perfect spot for a casual meal! 🍽️ I visited for lunch and was blown away by the shrimp & grits, which was creamy and flavorful - definitely my new go-to!

The trendy atmosphere made it a great place to relax, and the staff, especially Angel, were super friendly. I did hear mixed reviews about the BBQ brisket being a bit dry, but I think they’ve revamped their menu recently - worth checking out!

Perfect for groups, and they have great coffee too. Can’t wait to come back! ☕️✨
