It’s hard to snag a seat at the cozy True Flavors diner on the weekends, but the inventive menu is truly worth the wait. You’re served a hot, buttermilk biscuit the second you sit down (try not to inhale it), and the menu is filled with delicious dishes like slow-roasted duck hash with roasted red peppers, thyme, shallots, and eggs, or the creamy four-cheese shrimp and grits with peppers, onions, fresh corn, sausage and eggs on the side.

It was my first time at True Flavors. The wait time was long, but food made up for it for sure. My server was very nice,pleasant, warm,friendly, and attentive. I believe his name was Dave or David. Also, the other Hispanic lady was sweet. I will definitely recommend and pass the word around that this is a spot to come.

Stopped in for breakfast on a Friday morning and was so impressed! Menu has a lot to offer but I was especially excited to see a vegetarian option (the mushroom, cheese and eggs biscuit) and it turned out delicious— really thoughtfully made and came out hot and fresh. Very reasonable pricing too for such beautifully plated and generous portion. Service was also so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return!

I got the beef sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. That thing was huge! It ended up being 3 meals worth for me. Yes, it reheats well. Good flavor, and the biscuit wasn't dry.
The mini biscuits they bring to the table with strawberry jam are good, just a tad heavy on the butter in my opinion but still really tasty.

My wife and I decided to give this place a try, I'm so glad we did, when we got there it was pretty packed, the only spot they had open were the stools, so I would except a wait, but it is worth the wait, the vanilla bean ice coffee I got was really good, along with the blackberry lime French toast, my wife got a regular coffee and an omelet with grits , she said she really enjoyed it, and as an appetizer they bring out homemade biscuits and jam, they were some of the best biscuits I have ever had. Also the menu has alot of options. Definitely recommend this place,and me and my wife will be returning.

I've been coming here since 2018 when a friend recommended it - this is absolutely my FAVORITE restaurant anywhere!! my family and I ordered to go from here throughout the pandemic (when they were closed for sit-down service) and have been blown away by the amazing food for years!! you HAVE to try the rotating specials - they're always so creative and delicious!
Colin has usually been our waiter and he is wonderful! he jokes with customers and gives honest reviews about the specials and other dishes. it has been so cool seeing True Flavors evolve from a tiny, well-kept secret to the must-visit highlight of Durham dining!!

This is our favorite breakfast place!! The menu is anything but basic and is always changing. We have yet to find anything on the menu we don’t enjoy. The portion sizes are huge and make great left overs. Service is also always great and very quick!
I ordered the bacon, ham, and cheese omelette and my boyfriend ordered the fried pork chop and gravy biscuit. Both were soo good!!

Not sure how I hadn't found this place sooner but I'm glad I found it now. Stopped in for an amazing breakfast and am still full hours later. The food was great, service was excellent and the prices were fair. I'll absolutely go back.

As always, True Flavors Diner brings the most tasty brunch you’ll find on the area, and every dish comes out looking like a work of art. Buttery biscuits (amazing as always), fried chicken biscuit sandwich and brown butter pumpkin French toast were the picks today. Come when you’re hungry, because the portions are huge! 🤤

The food tastes just as good as it looks! My boyfriend got the duck crackle pop, Cajun grits and cheesy skillet potatoes. He’s not the biggest fan of grits but he said those were the best grits he’s ever had! I got the sriracha honey chicken biscuit and it was to die for! Absolutely could not recommend enough! Collin was our server and he was a awesome. Very attentive, knowledgeable and conversational.
