Dillard's Bar-B-Q and Seafood

Location

Some barbecue fans visit Dillard’s for its special “South Carolina” style mustard based flavoring. But when I worked for a few months at North Carolina Central University, I learned that it was also a community-gathering place for “soul food” of all types. More important for me, it was a place where you could find out what is going on in Durham today. Just by looking at all the pictures and mementos on the wall, you can learn a lot of history. Members of the Dillard family have been cooking here for three generations and they know what they are doing including some southern home cooking dishes that are increasingly hard to find on the road—like chitlins and okra.
