Enjoyed a wonderfully prepared, delicious and plentiful salmon dinner last Saturday with friends. We arrived without a reservation and after a very short wait we were seated. We don’t normally go to Durham often but plan to return. Very accommodating and pleasant service.

Blue Corn Cafe is one of the best restaurants in Durham and has been around for almost 30 years - the same owners! The restaurant is eclectic and cozy and attractive. The food is fun and delicious and authentic. The staff are perfection - kind, knowledgable, and genuine. My family and I will continue to frequent this beloved Bull City establishment - it is the best!

Very tasty food in a feminine atmosphere. We had spinach enchiladas and chicken Avocado salad.

Food was very good and reasonably priced. The Cuban sandwich was not what I am used too. It was not pressed and there was no mustard. That being said, it was still very good.
