Trash experience!
I ordered cajun crawfish and queso and small fries
&
Shrimp with lobster sauce
I drove 20 minutes out of the way to pick it up because even though i ordered from Hillsboro st, order got sent to the other location.
NOT ONCE did the people fulfilling my order think to call me to let me know they neither have crawfish, nor lobster sauce.
I arrive to receive ONE tray, not TWO.
they gave me shrimp and queso shrimp fries.
My girlfriend was hungry, at work, waiting on food. So i begrudgingly accepted the messed up order.
We are eating this tray right now through gritted teeth.
Shrimp is soggy. Fries are soggy.

Was not happy with my $50+ purchase. I didn’t get what I ordered. My steak/steakum was burnt. And the service turned out to not be the greatest. I love supporting my own, but it’s hard because I can’t afford to just give my money away. And I think tonight that’s what I did. More

I definitely wouldn’t be back after the experience I had lastnight. Got all the way home and discovered they didn’t put bacon on my sub, (which was $4 extra for a slice of bacon crumbles absolutely ridiculous) I drove back to the restaurant and told they girl at the register and even showed her. She proceeded to say “you didn’t check It before you left” which was just wild to me especially because they had wrote ADD BACON on the styrofoam plate… anyways, the food wasn’t good at all everything was super salty, me and my partner both agreed on that. Definitely over priced, Philly cheese didn’t have any onions or peppers overall lacked flavor and left more to be desired. Sub was so messy if fell apart as soon as I picked It up. Wouldn’t recommend

My fiancé decided to take me to The Dankery on a whim since neither of us had been back since they left Durham. We have so many great memories tied to the old location—it used to be one of our favorites.
Unfortunately, this visit just didn’t hit the same. First off, we headed to the Hillsborough location only to find it closed, which wasn’t indicated anywhere on Google. That detour added an extra 25 minutes to our trip. When we finally got to the open spot, the food just didn’t live up to the standard we remembered from the Durham days. The flavor, the vibe—it all felt… off.
It was honestly pretty depressing for us. We loved The Dankery. It used to be that spot. But something’s changed, and not for the better.

Parking
It’s located in a shopping center so there’s lots of parking, but it’s adjacent to an exercise studio and when we went the exercise class was taking place in the parking lot and took up a large number of spaces
Kid-friendliness
Chicken tenders and fries are an option…so kids should be covered. As far as dining in, there aren’t high chairs or booster seats.
Wheelchair accessibility
There are ramps outside but the doors aren’t automatic

The place was absolutely amazing, but I couldn't eat my food because it was extremely salty. The fries were pretty good tho.

The main issue with my visit was that the restaurant was not open during the hours listed on Google. Accurate business hours are important, and this caused unnecessary inconvenience. Hopefully this can be improved for future customers.

I’ve had the dankery a few times and each time my food portions are smaller and they give me less sauce. I’ve spent over $30 each time I place an order for 2 meals. The food is okay but I go for the vegan nugget option. I have received cold food once and again each time I get less and less. Not sure I will be supporting again since this seems like a trend.

I have supported all locations but this one is my least favorite. The lady who took our order was nice. The food was average. The fries were cold and I was missing the shrimp but my wings were hot🤔. My husband had no bacon on his fries even though it was paid for. The wait for the food was 45 min and they were not even busy. … More

Literally my favorite place in the state of North Carolina to eat some good, made from scratch, quality food. The Cajun crawfish and queso fries are what dreams are made of. Food is always fresh and has not changed a bit since I went to them out the food truck! None of that fake chicken or frozen vibes here! More
