Quick StatsBest Place to Take Your ParentsCollege Prowler Take
The town of Durham is small, and, unfortunately, so is the selection of restaurants. Most students don’t have the time
or money to go to the better places further off campus, so most of the time, you will see students hanging out at the local bars and sub shops during the day. At night, the pizza shops, particularly the Durham House of Pizza, are overwhelmed with people grabbing $1 slices at 1 a.m. The Portsmouth Brewery and the Muddy River Smokehouse are two local restaurants that aren’t too hard on the wallet and are a part of local tradition. If you do get an appetite for something more, the shuttle buses run to Dover, Newmarket, and Portsmouth, where you can go to some of the more popular chain restaurants, such as Applebee’s, T.G.I. Friday’s, and Olive Garden. There are plenty of fancy restaurants in Portsmouth that are worth visiting, as well—it’s just a matter of getting a bunch of friends together and spending a night out on the town. Students Speak Out

As far as off-campus restaurants, there is a variety of food in Durham, including the best pizza in the world, grinders or subs, cheap Italian, fine Italian, bagels, coffee, and ice cream. For more variety, Portsmouth is a short car or bus ride away and has some of the best food in New England, located right on Portsmouth’s coastal harbor. |

Durham is pretty small, so there aren’t many places to eat there, but the take-out food is great up here. Durham doesn’t have many great restaurants—mostly little places for pizza or subs. There are some actual restaurants, don’t get me wrong, but the towns nearby are better. |
