Tasty. The atmosphere was cheerful and everyone was welcoming. I believe that the man himself dropped by the table which I just loved.

Tried Mike D’s for the first time yesterday for dinner. I got the brisket, Mac and cheese, and corn. My husband got the brisket, Cole slaw, and smoked beans. I also got the bourbon pound cake too which didn’t even last long enough for a picture!

Real wood smoked BBQ. Ran into Mike D filling the smoker with wood after lunch today. I like the fact that the menu is simple. Smoked meat and some good sides. I had pork, slaw, and smoked corn. Very good, had some good bark mixed in. They haven’t been open even a week. Go by and give it a try.

Such a great addition to East Durham! We always get the 3 meat plate because it is so hard to choose. Mike has the best pulled pork, ribs, and chicken. Those beans are a delicious side, but that is a hard choice, too. I also love that I can pick up some of my favorite local products on the retail side. Great food, great people, and a cool space!

Guests are greeted by friendly, efficient, happy employees and a roomy, attractive, and spotlessly clean facility filled with the enticing aromas of a Sunday afternoon in Grandma’s kitchen. Mike D’s signature sauces are flavorful and beautifully paired with with the tender brisket served on a tasty bun strong enough to handle the generous meat portion. Sweet tea is served in individual chilled bottles so ice doesn’t water down its bold flavor. The mac n cheese is gooey and decadent, and Mike D’s interpretation of NC banana pudding as a topping for coarse, sweet pound cake is inspired. I haven’t tucked into the sweet potato pie we took for home, but given the 100% satisfaction of our dine-in experience, I expect it to be bliss.

I took my parents and my kids to Mike D’s for lunch and was simply impressed. We grew up in Durham and have plenty of experience with que and i have to say the the pulled pork was just delicious. Really unexpected flavors were emphasized and the sauce finished nicely complementing the meat rather than overwhelming it.

I visited Mike D’s BBQ after church on 8/27. I ordered two brisket plates — one with smoked beans and string beans and the other with mac n cheese and string beans. I also ordered a side of smoked beans and a pulled pork sandwich which totaled $66.66. I added a $7 tip. The wait was not long, the food and service were good, but I noticed that I was charged $2.20 more than I authorized after reviewing my online bank statement. The total including my tip should have been $73.66; however, I was charged $75.86. I was not made aware of any additional fees. I will be disputing the difference with my bank.

My husband has been talking about this place since it opened and we finally went tonight. The staff was all super friendly and made us feel very welcome. I got the bbq sandwich and smoked corn, the slaw on the sandwich had a very unique flavor and and everything I ate was delicious. I really loved the smoked corn. My husband had the brisket, beans and Mac n cheese which were all fantastic! We got some beans and Mac n cheese for my toddler and she gobbled it up, be sure to bring your own high chair if you need one. The courtyard is cute and shared with a bar so we had a drink after. 10/10, so glad to see East Durham continue to grow with solid local businesses!

We ordered takeout but it was so nice we decided to stay there and eat. Everything was delicious and everyone was kind and helpful. We all ordered different plates with sides and lemonade; leg quarters , baked beans, macaroni and cheese, I have never had just completely delicious EVERYTHING on my plate at a barbeque restaurant! But we all love it, were stuffed and got extra mac & cheese for the baby. Next time I will be sure to take pictures!
