Pop’s has been a part of the Durham community for quite sometime and looks forward to many, many more years of great food, fantastic service, and making everyone feel at home.

“Appetizers at Pop’s are where it’s at. We had the warmed olives, the BIG BOWL of mussels (in an amazing broth – perfect for dipping their homemade bread into), the calamari, and the field greens salad. Those were amazing – we didn’t get as far as dinner, because those, plus a couple glasses of wine, were perfect for a girls’ night out. Couple that with the warm atmosphere, the friendly – yet professional – service, and you have a successful and satisfying evening.”

“Pop’s is one of the few restaurants in Durham that has lived up to the hype for me.”

“I adore this little place…just a cute casual atmosphere with a fresh rotating menu and wine offering.”

“The service here is awesome!! Some of the friendliest, most down to earth people around. Another fantastic meal with our favorite servers!!”
