Love Refectory Cafe. Took 1 star off because I didn’t realize we’d have to get in line to order with a reserved table. It does seem like we could have ordered from table with QR code but didn’t realize that until after being in line. Would recommend a host up front to explain this to customers if at all possible. Your food is fantastic and the staff are so friendly! One of my favorites for brunch and dinner!

Just know you are on your own! You will order at the counter or from the app at your table. Your delicious food will be delivered and then no one will check on you until it is apparent you are finished and need to pay the bill. If you want more coffee or water, good luck waving someone down. You will still tip your “server,” as though you had one. It is a nice spot and the menu has enough variety for everyone. Just don’t go expecting any service.

We entertained Duke alums returning to Durham for the weekend. Saturday brunch was a great idea at Refectory! Service was fast, friendly, didn’t hover. We ate outside in the shade a perfect quiet place to catch up on news with friends. The food was absolutely top notch from veggie omelet, to BLT avocado toast, smoothie to grits, lemon ricotta fluffy pancakes with the best bacon!!!! Do yourself a favor and try this place!

We have never eaten here before and we…along with my extended family of four…. were looking for an outside experience with food that could accommodate school-aged children as well as someone with gluten intolerance We could not have been more pleased with the menu options nor the quality of fast service combined with excellent Service. Kaylan went out of her way to make certain that everyone had exactly what they needed. Her professional demeanor and obvious love for her job made the night really special My husband passed away just a few months ago and it’s rare for all of us to get together Thanks for making the meal and experience so perfect for us

I went with some friends on a Wednesday night before DPAC, so we got there early; definitely didn't need a reservation for 5pm! It stayed pretty quiet all night, so don't know if it's normally slow on the weekdays. We sat outside - seating is picnic tables that are covered, very nice. All of our food was awesome, and we had great cocktails and wine as well. The highlights were the pumpkin linguine and the fried cauliflower appetizer. We also had the key lime cheesecake dessert - wow, and a big piece! Definitely will go back.

Impressed with salmon and crab cakes entrees. Kevin, our waiter, needs to improve customer service. Our take-home desserts didn't fit in the container he provided and he told us to smash the desserts down as they taste just as good that way. He also didn't want to show us the desserts on a platter that were offered because he thought we could see them well enough from a distance.

My favorite Brunch spot in Durham. Two of us had our usual - Huevos Rancheros, yum, and one had the veggie quiche of the day - also excellent. The staff were great as usual. This is a place not to miss if you enjoy or insist on good food, made fresh. Even the desserts, including GF, are freshly made. What's not to like!

Five of us gathered by Saturday brunch. The eggs were perfectly cooked. The crab sandwich filled the bun and my friend with the small appetite ate the whole thing. It was large too! Veggie quiche had a handmade crust which was tasty and well seasoned. All in all we would highly recommend this place not only for the great food but for the attentive, kind service.

The food was ABSOLUTELY delicious! We elected to sit outside - the restaurant has a nice covered porch although it is close to the street and traffic noise. The service was a little uneven, but it was a busy night. However, we will go back because the food is simply terrific. We started with a charcuterie board which had some very interesting selections. One of us had outstanding crab cakes and the other one had a delicious grilled salmon dish. The sides were as good as the main dishes. We recommend The Refectory Cafe!

The menu is varied making it likely that everyone will find something they'd like. I enjoyed trying a new type of fish that was their special for the evening. It was pricey, but very good. The salads were large and fresh. They have a huge selection of desserts made in house. The chocolate mousse was the best I've ever had. The staff was friendly and attentive.
