Editorial Review for George's Garage – by Tom Maxwell
In Short
The room is cavernous. It has to be, to hold an enormous dining room, buffet line, full sushi bar, open kitchen and large bar. Huge warehouse lamps hang down from the ceiling in the dining room, an analog to the row of oversize heat lamps bordering the kitchen. George's tries to present canonical seafood dishes and do them well. The fried catfish is the former--with slaw and fries.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoYou can't take the rolls with you. If you want sushi, you'll have to park it at the sushi bar and eat it there.

My boyfriend and I went to dinner at George's on Friday night. After we were seated, it was 15 minutes before we were greeted. On top of that our waitress was hardly tentative, we only saw her twice during the whole meal; the first time was to take our order and the second was to bring our bill. My boyfriend ordered the New England Clam Choder and rainbow trout. The chowder was very salty and the trout lacked favor. I ordered the Ahi tuna entree and received the Ahi tuna appetizer. I would have asked our waitress to correct my order, but we never saw her. For the cost of the dinner, between $18-$22 per entree, I would go else where.
Pros: downtown durham
Cons: noisy, slow service, cost of meal

Heres the Down Low on George's and its not pretty. The Management is terrible. Mario and Charles consistently steal money from customers, between over charging and and lying to fruitlessly neglecting their jobs. They have absolutely no respect for their employees and on multiple occasions have yelled at there employees in front of customers (How unprofessional!) The food is good, but very overpriced and the Wait Staff is rude and mean beyond belief. They don't seem to care about the quality of dinner of there customers and on many occasions it has take OVER TWO hours to have my food. The last and final time I went, I was completely infuriated that after having made a reservation a week prior and still having to wait 30+minutes before I was seated. Completely inappropriate and unprofessional. Its nearly impossible to get in touch with a manager, I have called on several occasions with no response at all. The hostess are nice yet completely clueless. All in all, take your money else where, this place is a waste.
Pros: The Food is Decent
Cons: Managment, Wait Staff
