“ the BEST veggie burger I've ever had. you could actually taste the seasonings in their veggie burger!! also, their cheese! seems like a weird comment to make but I'm from the Midwest so I like some good cheese, and they do a phenomenal job with their selection. tonight was our first night trying them, and I wish we'd tried them sooner! also, their fries are superior. super crispy and crunchy. I finished their burger and was already full though, haha. when I went to pick up our food I couldn't ask the bartender how much it cost(the online menu said $7 for each of our burgers. we paid $22 so I don't know if the fries were extra of what) because it was so loud and she was busy. so I'm unsure what the prices are, but honestly, it was worth it for what we got. it was soooo good. ”
“ Awesome bartenders, amazing food that's always piping hot! I love coming here, it's the absolute best place in New Bern!!! I went in one time and I've become a regular here they have a jukebox, old arcade games and a pool table! This is the best food I've ever eaten ”
“ The fried okra was outstanding. Fresh hand battered! Burger was nice and the chef salad was lovely. Great selection of beers and sports bar atmosphere. ”
“ The bartenders were attentive and as we arrived late, they asked the kitchen to stay open a few more minutes to accommodate us. Best burgers, onion rings and tots we've had, and we've had a lot! We will be back! ”
“ I've been here quite a few times. The food is good. They have a decent selection. The burgers are yummy, the hotdogs are def on point. They toast the buns which are not your typical buns, they look homemade. The service can be a bit slow and the restaurant is slowly go through renovations. I honestly thought my friends had brought to a dive bar to eat lunch the first time I came. If you are a vegetarian or vegan there is next to nothing on the menu for you. ”
