What does the community have to say about the Chicken Hut? So, we had our business holiday party and it

was amazing!! We had so much fun and the food...OMG!!! We all were above satisfied with the quality and the amount. The presentation was just as important as the quality and you guys nailed it. This was our second year in a row. I'm sure we will do business again. It's true there is a reason why you guys " are still there"! You are number 1!!! Thanks so much for contributing to a memorable event! Everyone agrees that Chicken Hut does an excellent job of catering large, small and every size event in between. My wife insists on getting Peggy's 7-layer salad with each catering order. But each day the restaurants serves up the best home cooked meals anyone could ask for. The liver, rice & gravy keeps my wife going back. Partial to fried foods, I've discovered the baked chicken is just as tasty and better for my health. Spurging here is worth the extra exercise I have to put in later. good food
We used Chicken Hut to cater dinner time meals for our work functions and meeting. No complaints and no wasted food. Each time that we ordered we were never disappointed. Affordable and delicious


Best chicken in Durham
This is the best chicken joint in the city of Durham. Baked chicken, BBQ chicken, and fried chicken. Nice neat and with a friendly staff. Plenty of room to sit and eat.

I am deeply honored to share that this past weekend I was recognized by the National Alumni Association of Hillside High School and inducted into the Hillside Hall of Fame. On behalf of my family and The Chicken Hut, I extend my sincerest thanks to Hillside High School for this incredible recognition.

This honor is especially meaningful to me as I now join my mother, Ms. Peggy Tapp, who was inducted into the Hillside High School Hall of Fame in October 2012.

The last two pictures feature some of my amazing classmates from the Class of 1995! Celebrating this moment alongside the people I grew up with makes it even sweeter.

Thank you to Hillside High School and to all of our supporters for believing in us and honoring our family’s legacy.

Community at heart ❤️ —————————————————————

Celebrating the Life and Legacy of our dear Ms. Peggy!

8 years ago, April 10, 2018, I lost my precious mother—my best friend on her birthday. She was the heart and soul of our family, a guiding light, and a woman who dedicated every moment to the people she loved and the place she poured her passion into: The Chicken Hut.

Her love was boundless, her kindness unforgettable, and her strength inspiring. She taught us the meaning of hard work, resilience, and the beauty of selfless love. Even though she is no longer physically with us, her presence remains in every laugh shared, every meal cooked, and every memory cherished.

Today, and always, we continue to celebrate her life and legacy—If you have a memory or story you cherish about my mom, please share them with me today!🥲

Happy heavenly birthday, Mom. Your legacy lives on, and we honor you with love and gratitude. We pray you are proud! 🙏🏽
Your son,
Tre❤️‍🩹
