Yep, it's lunch only. And I'm honestly not sure since I always either eat there or in my car or somewhere soon after. I would probably guess though that it wouldn't hold up very well like other fried foods.
Yeah, that Fried Chicken is the best. Like the old McDonalds Fries ad, nobody has ever made it home with any left. :-) They have some wicked-good Red Velvet Cake too, IIRC.
And +1 to Pierre for Mediterranian Cafe. (Mayo-lovers need not apply)
All my info is pre-pandemic, but I also like:
The Federal
The Pizza place over by Bull City Burgers and Beer (not Toro, the other one, name escapes me)
The taco place on Roxboro Road, near I-85 (Sorry for the lack of names, it's changed several times)
^^Just north of the highway, on the left.
There are probably several others I'm forgetting, but these have been long-time staples for me.
LOL! Normally, I'd have to agree with you. But I have a very weird hangup with eating fried chicken (and ribs). I really, really wanna use a knife and fork. Even when I'm eating alone in my own home. No, not kidding, and yes, its embarrassing. (My mother was a very proper Brit, with table manners that could rival royalty. It's her fault.)
This made me think of Costanza:
LOL
And Pierre, you are 3 for 3 in your OP. I also agree with Sushioki (I didn't know the other two)

Pompieri Pizza is great, believe it's owned by the Bull City Burger group.

Guanajuato! I have not been but it is #3 on my list of places to try so I will make it over there soon
I'm a fan of Pompieri Pizza too but I think I like Toro just a little bit better
Very intrigued about Tomato Jake's! I had always written them off because of their name. I don't know why. It just felt like meh chain restaurant to me (also often fine for me but who needs new ones). Definitely will try them, thanks hackwriter!
The slick signage makes it LOOK like a chain, but it's not. I've had their lasagna too, and it's quite respectable. I go with a group of fellow old ladies and they are always nice to us and let us sit at their outdoor tables for as long as we want. One of my favorite places in Durham and worthy of more support (though it appears they do a bang-up takeout/delivery business too).

I assumed they were a chain too. They still using playing cards to call your order?

Yep!
Well...sort of. They have disposable paper printouts with the card value on it now instead of a real deck of cards.

would know that you don't eat fried chicken hot anyway. Room temp hours later, even refrigerated next day.
