If you are ever in the Durham area and in need of some of the best soul food, you have got to try JCs. Not only is the food amazing but the atmosphere is truly remarkable. God has hand on this place and it shows in the food and awesome hospitality. Chitterlings, Pig feet, turkey neck bones, and oxtails ??? you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Just moved to the area went here several times pig feet dinner I was hooked on lol decided to try the turkey wings w/collards, ask for the price black lady told me and has always been kind to me after telling me the price I said that's to much, she hung up on me

Classic kitchen and a must have in Durham. The real Durham. The part that the new buildings and construction dust can't cover up. Here in Durham North Carolina for the last 30+years. One supporter has been coming here since she was 10. Who else is here God is here. Bible verses everywhere. This is a favorite stop on every credible tour.The oxtails are amazing. I found my grandmother's house. The cooking is like home. All is right with the world. Thank you.

I ordered a double cheeseburger and it was good. But the fries were dark like it was cooked in old grease. I also ordered 3 chicken wings and they weren’t good at all. They were dark and smelled like fish and tasted like fish. It seems they deep fry everything in the same fryer or don’t change the grease very often. I worked in food service 16 years and we changed the grease once a week so I can tell when food is fried in old grease

My 1st time and omgness! It was good! Oxtail dinner

Listen! I've been here twice out of the 8 years I been in Durham. I wish I would have came more. If you want Southern soul food no frills and thrills; come to JC's. As we know everyone cooks dishes differently, so the way she cooks may look different from you mama or grandma. Regardless, the food is delicious. The Turkey wings are tender and flavorful. Green and cabbage were also good.

It was not too good turkey wings waa okay nothing special cabbage had a very funny taste to it rice dont get me started for 2 people it was almost 30 definitely not worth it

delicious food... so good authentic soul food...
