    Dain's Place on 9th is pretty good. Elmo's Diner is also excellent. Alivia's and Devine's are across the street from Satisfaction and are also great choices — Devines is more student-heavy than Alivia's, though.

    Don't eat out much in Durham, do you?

    Elmo's, Rue Cler, Pop's, Toast, Nana's, Foster's, Piedmont, Vin Rouge, Four Square, Parizade, Parker and Otis, Q Shack (not for me, however) ,Six Plates, The Nasher, Watt's Grocery, etc. And, I'm sure that there are so many, many more that the posters here can tell you about.

    Well, for being a Crustie that ventures out in Durham while in town for a game, it's the one restaurant that we always make sure to book before we come. (Can certainly understand how a lot of fans are unable to go to some of the restaurants on my list, however.)

    You have three more opportunities to make an appearance at a home football game... or are you waiting for the bowl game?

    We have tickets for the Nov 15 game and hopefully will make it to the bowl game. I went to Atlanta last year, and it was all great except for the final score. We would have made it to another home game except for all the problems we have been having around here that precluded our ability to go. See you on the 15th.

    I must admit that the first time I saw the title of this thread I read OT as OL and wondered what fan friendly restaurants had to do with them!

    Yeah, most Tyler's Taprooms do this, and it's sweet. They also have a Speakeasy around back — not sure if that's what you're talking about, uh_no, but they have billiards and other stuff back there as well.

    Oh, and beer. Lots and lots of beer.

    Charlie's has terrible food and an even worse atmosphere. The Cosmic Cantina is the bottom of the barrel for Mexican food. In addition to what others have said, I would recommend Bull McCabe's, Dame's Chicken and Waffles, The Pit BBQ, Geer Street Garden, Pizzeria Toro, The Federal...there are also a couple of really good tapas places on Main St.

    They've been closing for good soon for the past year.

    While all are good restaurants, not all of those are really 'fan friendly.'

    We're partial to Spartacus, over in the South Square area on the 15-501 Bus. service road in front of Target. Very pro Duke, good Greek food.

    Agreed. Cosmic might be crappy Mexican food, but it's our crappy Mexican food, by God.

    Amen. Cosmic is the only place that's a must when I'm through Durham. I, and the other students in my grad program, used to swear that they laced those lovely burritos with some addictive substance.

    Most of the good Mexican food in Durham is on Roxboro Road (also, La Vaquita near the Hardee's on 15-501). I love you guys for defending the Cosmic, but it really does suck. GO DUKE!!!
