If you're in Durham and haven't hit up Dame's Chicken & Waffles, you're doing it wrong. This place is everything! The chicken? Straight-up amazing--crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. Pair that with their fluffy waffles, and you're looking at a plate that's nothing short of magic. And don't even get me started on the schmears--they take the whole meal to another level. The vibe inside is laid-back but still buzzing, like a spot that knows it's the go-to for comfort food done right. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Dame's is the kind of spot you'll keep coming back to. Trust me, this is the real deal!

Great experience. Went early on a Friday. No wait. Server was nice. Food was great. You can never go wrong with the waffle and shmears.

I was passing through Durham, NC and was told that this place was an absolute must. My fiancé and I decided to swing by. We went closer to store closing but was seated within a few minutes. The menu is very repetitive. It is mostly chicken and waffles as a base with different combinations of flavored schmear (spread). I ordered The Buff Brahamas and was very pleased. The waffles was good, but the chicken cutlet was spectacular. It was well seasoned and crispy but not overly salty. The apricot schmear was very subtle and spready very easily on the waffle. It all works really well with each other. We also ordered the mac and cheese and southern grits with cheese. Both sides were just okay. I don't think I'd get both again. Flavor fell very flat.

Our family dined here today, and we all had the chicken and waffles. The boneless, fried chicken is so tender and perfectly seasoned. The waffles are solid, and I enjoyed the maple pecan shmear. Prices are fine. I think portions have gotten smaller. Apart from that, we enjoyed the food and service was attentive.

I absolutely loved going to Dames. I was in town for a Duke basketball game and it was my first time going there. Since my initial trip I have been back several times while going through Durham. Food was amazing and the chicken cutlet was crispy and very juicy. The service was excellent and they were always professional and attentive. 5/5 Highly recommend.
