The Durham Tony Roma’s is owned and operated by Shrijee LLC and Bluegrass Hotels. It features Tony Roma’s 2.0 prototype that launched in 2016. Tony Roma’s 2.0 encompasses a new menu and enhanced service approach featuring the legendary ribs that made the brand famous.

With 145 dining seats and 100 outdoor patio seats, guests can enjoy their meal in the traditional dining room, outdoor patio, or full-service bar area. The bar area will allow guests the chance to enjoy nine TVs and a wide selection of liquor, craft, and local beers. The restaurant operating hours are Monday thru Saturday 5pm to 10pm and Sunday 5pm-9pm.
