Y’all…this is the spot. I think I searched for “open late” while I was near BK and this place came up right down the street. There wasn’t anything but the menu and a 2009 Google StreetView for a picture, but the parent restaurant being called “Let’s Eat Soulfood” and them having a chili cheeseburger on the menu, I had to check them out.
I think it was about 11:00 at night when I pulled up. It’s in a relatively dark parking lot, but they have lights along the storefront. If you’re from the suburbs, it might sketch you out some; but I’m telling you — it’s worth it.
This is not fast food by any means. It’s made-to-order, so it might be a minute to get yours if there’s people who ordered ahead of you. I think they take call-ins, but I won’t be the one to promise you that it makes anything happen quicker. Despite that, it’s also to be expected; from the curb, it looked like they only had 1+1 working. Patience is a virtue.
Bro at the window was cool. Polite, and was a good host.
Now, the food: I don’t know what I was really expecting, trying a chili cheeseburger from a hole-in-the-wall spot — but what I can tell you is that the flavor was on point. Yesterday I wouldn’t have told you I was a fan of a chili cheeseburger, but I would today. I’ll have to come back and try some of the other things on their menu I thought were interesting; but if I gotta have a go-to while I’m working in Durham, I’d definitely grab another chili cheeseburger.
