Honestly their brisket, while tasty, was a bit dry for me but their cornbread OH MY GOD their cornbread. So good.

Without a doubt, 5 stars. No hesitation, done. I drive up from baltimore to NY a lot, and the best and only good part of that experience is the expectation that I will stop for some of THE BEST ribs at Durhams. Just the right consistently of fall of the bone, peel with your hand. Top flavors. And most of all, these ribs are HUGE. When you order a rack at durhams, expect about 2-3 times as much meat as you'd get any where else. I'm literally salivating while writing this review. OVERALL: i dont need to say anymore. Their other stuff is good, but just go try the ribs first and branch out later if you're able to get past the ribs

Well, as far as the area is concerned you haven't got much of a choice. The brisket is a bit bland but moist. The "spicy" sauce isn't spicy, the place is a bit dirty and I think I saw a bug scurry off the counter. If you're able, I suggest you try somewhere else as this place leaves a lot to be desired in the food and the establishment. I hope this isn't their best, the worst would be scary stuff.

So great! A bit of dive in the old building, but they've moved to a new place that is a bit...cleaner. Missing out on some of the old character, though! Either way this is the best smoked turkey breast I've ever had, and the other meat is great, too. Cornbread is awesome!

I purchased a 1/2 Rack of ribs and the meat is so tender it is FALLING OFF OF THE BONES. Seasoned to perfection even with no sauce (which they give you on the side) and to be honest the meat is so good you don't even need sauce. Oh, I am also NOT a huge pork fan but I tasted these ribs at a girlfriend's party last summer when ribs was the only meat being served, and after one bite they blew me away. The only way I will eat ribs is if they come from Durhams or I make them myself. The prices are fabulous and they give you so much. These ribs will last me at least 3 days. I highly recommend Durhams to anyone looking for delicious ribs and sides. You will definitely not be disappointed.

It is good for the area we are in. If you want to try a franchise bbq place you can head to Famous Dave's but this is a mom and pop's type of place. I ordered a half a rack of pork ribs and they were delicious but a bit cold. The sauces they have are spicy and sweet and I guess you can mix them both and make a spicy & sweet sauce. The sauces are good though. I got 3 sides with my order, which were baked beans, potato salad & fries. All 3 sides were good, the fries are just fries so don't expect something special. I thought they were going to be wedges but they were good anyways. My order also came with a corn bread which is actually a corn muffin and that was the bomb.com I would have given them 5 stars but there were just too many flies, some on the walls and others trying to land on my delicious ribs. The service was great and the place is a bit small it can only sit about 14 people if that, so you might have to take it home. I would definitely come here again especially cause I was told that the brisketts are off the chain. I would recommend it to anyone trying to get some good bbq.

Three stars could have been four but they don't cut there own fries and I sure the coleslaw and Mac salad are pre-fab products! The smoked meats are very very good. The Bbq sauces ( sweet or spicy ) are also very good! Walk up to the counter or call ahead and place/pick-up order. The kids and I decided to travel down 95s to get some sandwiches. Well worth the trip. We arrived around 11:50 or so and we lucky enough to get the big table. There were three other tables, taken. 95% of the business is call in and pick-up! Brisket sandwich had enough smoke to make it tasty and not offensive! Piled high on a soft kaiser with diced raw onions ( add on ) a bit of spicy sauce, accompanied with two sides ( coleslaw - curly fries ) and a drink...$11.00. Good value for the time and effort the guys put into the cooking process! Whole chicken I was told was incredible and juicy. At $15.00 with two sides, two corn muffins and two drinks. Brought home a sliced pork loin sandwich .... Haven't eaten will follow up later. This location is right across the street from the old spot, next to a pizza joint, behind the WAWA. Next time I go, it will be just sandwiches or whole pieces of BBQ and I will make my own sides! Glad we went to try it, very pleased as were the kids ( 14 yrs, 15yrs and 17 yrs ) picky eaters looking for a full belly... And they got it.

Abysmal from top to bottom. Meat is bland and dry. The sides are premade Sysco brand cafeteria grade junk. Service is painfully slow, despite the fact that all of the meat is drying out under heat lamps, ready to be served as its ordered. Sauces have no flavor. I could keep going but I don't want to be rude. Do yourself a favor, buy a smoker and make it at home if you're really craving BBQ. I cannot believe they are still allowed to serve food under the name of "best" anything.

Ok so we though we would give Durham's a try on my bosses recommendation. He is an Elkton guy and always raves about restaurants I the area. So my wife and I were in the mood for some BBQ, now we usually go to Scott's Smokehouse in DE on Pulaski hwy., so I guess my expectations were kind of high. I had the ribs. My wife had a pulled pork sandwich and we both shared a smoked kielbasa sandwich. We had beans and coleslaw for our sides. Well I'm sorry to say the meal was almost inedible. The ribs were salty, dried out and fatty all at the same time. They were anything but fall of the bone. I still can't figure out how half of a rib was truly tough as a boot and still had u-rendered fat on it at the same time. My wife's pulled pork sandwich was so peppery she took three bites and she had enough. The kielbasa sandwich was ok but it should have been on an Italian roll instead of a hamburger bun. The beans were very peppery and the coleslaw was just cabbage and some very bland white coating. So in a nut shell I forked over 45 bucks for a meal which we were very disappointed in and didn't finish.

Went there a few days ago and just recovering from the visit. Ordered a sandwich and found moldy bread. I returned the sandwich and they were very apologetic. There were two other sets of customers I saw that had the same problem as me. I said to myself, hey, things happen and i have eaten here before...its not Durham's, it the bread supplier. They replaced my sandwich and I ended up eating it...of course inspecting the bread before hand. I shouldn't have done that... The toilet and I have been best buds lately. The BBQ is OK there...but over smoked and sometimes dry.

Have been going to Durhams for several years and over the past three visits and since they moved the brisket is far less thAn good...bought. 1.5 pound chunk of un- trimmed last night with bark on and when I got home there was not bark and it tasted like roast beef...no seasoning and no smoke. That paired with a link of sausage was $44 bucks. Wow...poor quality Q and far more exp that great brisket and sausage in Texas...sausage is hills hire farms...unfortunately we won't be going back...
