Geer Street Garden
Phone: (919) 688-2900
Geer Street Garden is a locally focused restaurant and bar located in the former Fletcher’s Gulf Station on the corner of Foster and Geer Streets downtown. Serving burgers, sandwiches, salads, special plates and drinks in the relaxed atmosphere of a bar and patio, this restaurant is excellent for both small and large groups. It is an OG restaurant of sorts, with "The Pile" menu item as a must-try on any trip to Durham. For the record, it is not actually a garden, but its covered patio is one of the most coveted picnic seats in Durham.

I stopped by w my 2 Aussies on my way to my sis's in Cary (I just moved to Richmond from Austin this Fall and marked up places I wanted to check out btw there and here now that I can visit by car rather than plane). Very friendly staff, great service by Kristen and the bartender Jen was cool too just to come out to see the dogs, the covered patio was quite cool w the fans on and the patio area itself was both large and pretty, encased by plants on all sides w some Japanese lamps strung along the ceiling to set the vibe with good music. Shout out to Kimberly and Rose tendin my dogs w love while I ventured around to take pictures. The ambiance you can see in the menu reminded me of a fusion health place that was unafraid to still offer a burger, fries, and wings. I had grilled asparagus with parmesan & a perfect sunny side up egg over it all to make it decadent, and I also had the deviled eggs. Feeling good, I over-indulged w an order of wings too. I figure all that is under 1000 calories and 10-15 g. carbs so yay me for my only meal of the day (keto sux). Add 200 cal of whiskey and I'm good to go. Prices are reasonable, but you can't put a price on a cool, shaded, outdoor patio that allows dogs, even if mine were the only in attendance...there are water bowls everywhere here! Just sayin, I'd pay more. It's a relaxed atmosphere, so don't be scared of some of the elevated menu choices. I haven't found a place in Cary or Richmond like this that serves liquor, so I think I have found my fix everytime I venture between. 5 stars! -
Such a neat experience. Excellent Black bean burger, the fries are fantastic. Highly recommend their old fashioned as well, they have bourbon soaked cherries! Servicer was so nice, order was accurate and food was delicious. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

Went here strictly because they had wings i thought it was a cute little restaurant honestly but I will NEVER eat there again. He had chicken wings and I had The pile..... his wings were RAW I ate one unknowingly while the sun was beaming in my face after the sun went down a bit I saw my horror a bloody bone smh I had to send my pile back because the chicken on that was undercooked too smh. They kept my water full till I realized that pitcher of water was just sitting out uncovered and idk how long it had been sitting there. We didn't act out or say anything about it I just was like we won't come here again. This was our first date and the first time in this establishment but unfortunately this establishment will NOT be part of our future. Great place if you want to drink and catch salmonella poisoning at the same time.

We spent a few hours on their outside covered patio and it ended up being exactly the kind of afternoon I needed. It's a comfortable space with plenty of shade, and since it's outdoors there were a few people with dogs, which is always a bonus. Petting well-behaved dogs should probably be listed as a health benefit at this point. The whole setup made it easy to settle in and just enjoy being there.
We split an order of the chicken wings and they were excellent. Good and meaty with a lightly spicy buffalo sauce that hit the right notes without overdoing it. Drinks were great, service was attentive, and the pace was relaxed in the best way. Sometimes, it's nice to sit outside, have something tasty, and let a couple of hours drift by. This was one of those times and Geer Street Garden helped that happen. -
Lovely little place to grab a drink and some tasty food. Lots of covered outdoor seating and some booths inside. Overall a really enjoyable place to eat. Food and drinks were all delicious. The banana pudding dessert was fantastic.
