“ Such a gem. My first visit I shopped and got a slice of pizza to go. The next time I came in a group for dinner - soooo good! Need to visit for breakfast now. Grateful to have this in the neighborhood for delicious, healthy and creative eats. ”
“ Everything about Redstart is amazing! I love that it’s incredibly unique and at the same time so very Durham. The quiches never disappoint. The hot foods are always amazing and since I’ve had their English muffin with egg and cheese and pickles on it, I never wanna have egg and cheese any other way. My husband is an accomplished chef in his own, right, and we often don’t go out to eat because we can do so well at home. Redstar is the one exception to this rule. This is not one of those places where you have a stellar meal and the next time you go it’s just OK. We’ve eaten there many times and everything, I mean, everything is great and memorable. I love that. It’s a neighborhood place, and I hope that it is there forever. If you find yourself there on a Saturday or Sunday, I urge you to try whatever donut flavor is the flavor of the day. Can’t get there right away? Just follow their Instagram to get inspiration and a whole lot of cheeky fun. ”
“ I had a special, their roasted cauliflower and parsnips with vanilla vinaigrette, currants, labneh, and toasted pecans. Such a surprising and amazing combinations of flavors I didn't expect to find on a Saturday morning! Their dulce de leche donut was also delicious and pleasingly complex. I didn't have any of their regular menu items, but on the basis of their limited items, I would absolutely recommend! ”
“ when I tell you this is the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had in my life, please believe me. if we take apart each part of the breakfast sandwich layer by layer, each piece could be eaten by itself it is so incredibly tasty. The bread is homemade, the eggs are made to perfection (not overly cooked/rubbery), the sausage is perfectly seasoned and do yourself a favor and add the hot sauce and pickles—bye I’m off to go eat this now ”
“ This place is INCREDIBLE! I live in the neighborhood and have been meaning to check out Takeaway for a while and cannot believe I deprived myself of it this long. My wife and I went for breakfast this morning and had arguably the best bacon egg and cheese I've had in Durm. The hot sauce and pickles are a must-add and we got a side of potatoes. I left happy, full and wholly unprepared for getting to work on this Friday morning. Perhaps the best part about Takeaway is the atmosphere. The staff are sweet and the interior design is so warm, inviting and just plain cool. I have a feeling I'll be coming in here every week for a breakfast sandwich, grab and go lunch and one of their candles shaped like a loaf of bread. Please go here and support this place, it's a true gem and you'll leave with a smile on your face. PS: The parking around the back makes it 10x more accessible and less stressful than trying to park on the roxboro side. ”
“ Breakfast sandwiches available on gluten-free bread! They have the best drip coffee and cold brew in town IMHO. Also lots of good take-home options for dinner and a good drink selection. ”
“ Sara s easily one of the most attentive and hard-working people I've seen at a food establishment. Sara goes out of her way to make sure that you feel appreciated and your needs are being met. I'm not from around here but whenever I'm back in North Carolina I will make sure to stop here grab a coffee from next door and a delicious breakfast sandwich. ”
“ We came for their new dinner service around 6:30. The food came out quickly. I ordered the quarter chicken and the green been salad (special). The quarter chicken that is served with pickles, cabbage, and potatoes is a fantastic value (12.50) for the high quality of food. Everything we had was seasoned well and the roasted chicken was very moist. The sides all complimented the chicken very well and felt like a truely balanced meal. The value and quality is difficult to beat. Overall, I would definitely return for dinner. If you’re interested in breakfast, I highly recommend getting the Egg and cheese with pickles and their smoked hot sauce! ”
