While the Bull City has plenty of awesome barbecue joints, Maverick’s is the only smokehouse open after 10 on the weekends. Pulled pork, smoked sausage, brisket, chicken and more are all featured on this expansive menu. Feeling a bit peckish, but not ready to down a whole brisket sandwich? Order a basket of bacon jalapeño fries from the starter menu.

I tried this place out on Friday after passing by it for quite some time and I'm so happy we stopped! I ordered the Smokehouse Reuben and OMG it was good. My husband ordered wings with sauce on the side. The chef accidentally added the sauce on the wings but it was a happy mistake for us because they still turned out great. 10/10! Will go back to this restaurant.

Love this place! I saw a post in the taproom saying "put some south in your mouth"! Perfectly said! This has got to be some of the best smokehouse in Durham. We got the Memphis rubbed Pulled chicken Sandwich, and the Texas dry rubbed prime brisket and a side of Caribbean jerk wings. Each sandwich came with a side and hushpuppies, for our side we got the maverick fries...yummy! Also, Duke was playing UNC so we got the specialty "Duke" drink. Everything was top tier spices and oh so delicious. I haven't been to Texas before, but today I felt like Texas came to me. We will be going back! Oh there is also an outdoor area, and they had a fire pit going.

We love coming here for family gatherings. Pre pandemic they had table service but now it's counter orders. Still they do bring everything to the table for you and kinda take care of the table after that. While service can be hit or miss, none of us have ever ordered anything we didn't love and devour. I reccommend everything. When the weather is right they have great patio seating too. Hope to see our out of towners here again next time.

JonBenet was amazing and had great energy. She was knowledgeable and honest about the menu and made a great Southern sunrise. If you’re looking for good comfort food Mavericks is the place to go
