“Great breakfast. Best country ham in town.”

“I ordered over the phone for pick up. When I got to the restaurant I was greeted with smiles. The warmth of welcoming me generated off the owners of the place. The food was good. Homemade coleslaw, cornbread muffin, and seasoned fries helped make the meal. The cost is very affordable and with the size of the plates you get great value for what you pay. The plate had weight to it, it was not light. I took a few menus to place at work and I hope this place stays in business a long time. I highly recommended it for the hospitality, pricing value, and quantity of food you get.”

“I ordered two large pizzas an ordered of fried ravioli, fried mushrooms and a steak and cheese with the bread SUPER crispy and I asked SEVERAL times to make sure to get it the right way. My order was $73.50. I asked again when I picked my order up (which she caught that she was about to give me the wrong bag, I asked again was it crispy she said yes and I get home and there are NO fried ravioli but instead is cheese sticks (we don't eat cheese sticks) and my sub was SOFT not a bit crispy, I called right away and they would not do anything. The pizza had a good taste but have to throw away the sub and the mozzarella sticks that we DID NOT order. I don't recommend this place. Thus was the first time and the LAST time we will order anything from them.”

“Passing through and found this spot. Great food at an amazing price. Cooked up by a super nice guy. This place is a must stop.”

“They are doing a great job! This is a welcoming place and everyone was so nice! I got a sugar free cookie dough ice coffee and it was awesome! If you are in Kinston I would give them a try!”

“Cutest place, sweetest atmosphere You MUST try the cookies!!”

“Everything was excellent! Very clean and friendly employee. All the toppings were filled and they had a BIG selection to choose from. Sitting area inside was clean and open.

Kid-friendliness: Kids cups available behind the counter!”

“Great place to eat”

“If your looking for true soul food, you found it! Visiting for a day trip and decided to stop by and YES we will be back.”

“My boyfriend and I have been to this place several times in the last two years and it NEVER disappoints! For appetizers my go to’s are the Crab Rangoon, Fried Calamari, and Sweet Potato Fries. The fried calamari is the best I’ve had over any restaurant including ones with higher price ranges. This is my preferred restaurant to get a seafood boil. I’ve had seafood boils from Hook and Reel, the Juicy Crab and even a really nice restaurant in Texas and they do not compare to Ocean Bay Seafood! Imma go ahead and tell you that if you’ve thought about trying this place but weren’t too sure, don’t sleep on them because you are missing out!!

As far as customer service goes, they are always very sweet and attentive throughout the entirety of our meal leaving us feeling welcomed and happy with the experience!!”

“Delicious food and the service was great and prompt”

“We had a large group of friends on a Wednesday evening. Service was good. The food was very tasty. I ordered 3 tamales. The was no choice: meat or sauce, so I was nervous. Turns out it was chicken with queso sauce. Very good. Clean restrooms
Great mango margaritas yummy!”

“Great food. Fast service .”

“I have been going to Chen's since they opened. I have watched both sons grow up to the amazing young men they are today. I love every thing about Chen's. No issues at ALL. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.”

“Great drinks! Love the decor and ambiance! You date night peeps need to check this out! Beautiful place and atmosphere and awesome bar service!!!”

“First time we had ever gone. We meet family and friends from out of town there to catch up. It was a Thursday night so not too busy. We were able to order pizza from across the street and they delivered it to our table. Mother Earth’s Tap Room has QR codes at the table to see their options. We decided to order a growler to share. We were told we could not drink it there. We got it anyway and a full pour of Long haired freaky people an Irish red ale. I’m not a big beer drinker but I did like it. I have tried many of their other beers and my husband enjoys their whiskey. Definitely check it out if you are in the area.”

“DELICIOUS brisket, loaded mashed potatoes and fried okra!!!! We happened upon Whiskey Pig by accident and it was such a treat! We will be back! ❤️❤️❤️”

“I was impressed with the Philly Cheesesteak Subs. The bread was fresh (not over-toasted). The flavor was perfect. The portions are worth the price. We will be back.”

“excellent service and very kind people!”

“Great service.”

“Always clean, and the stocking crew is helpful,even though they have work to do. Self check out could use some work, and they should try and open up the big self check out. That would help a lot.”

“WE DEFINITELY ENJOY HAVING THEM HERE AT ARCHIE'S AND THE BEST FOOD AROUND TOWN”

“I just love them and always have! Everything I have had created has been wonderful.”

“Creative takes on traditional eastern NC ingredients. Best food I've eaten since I ordered chef's choice at a small Parisian restaurant in 2011. Truly magical. Don't miss it.”

“They are very courteous. very child friendly and their very service oriented.”

“We stopped by after the most successful TRUMP Rally in KINSTON last Wednesday evening and the food was just wonderful, as were the desserts! What a virtual symphony of scrumptious tastes, textures, aromas and presentations! The only drawback was a noisy family of 4 children and 2 complacent adults nearby. They were WAY too impolite, loud and inconsiderate to be out in public eating at that, (9:30 PM) or ANY hour!! I so wish there were some sound absorbers installed....Fortunately, I had my trusty earplugs with me and was relegated to using them during the entire dining experience...”

“We got the fish sandwich special and it was ok but nothing to brag about. However, Latonya was our server and she couldn’t have been sweeter. She was very attentive and came back to check on us multiple times. She was excellent!”

“Husband had this pizza years ago at a rural location. He completely forgot about it until seeing sign at a different location in another very rural area. I personally have never had it and I'm extremely picky when it comes to pizza. It's one of my favorite foods. Well he suggested I try it because he remembers loving it over a decade ago. So I agreed and got a simple pepperoni pizza and then drove 15 mins home. Only cost $11.99 plus tax for a 12" Pizza which is cheapest pizza I've ever purchased. I had to rewarm it which made me hesitant on the quality. I was totally wrong. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER EATEN. First purchase for me was yesterday and today I went out and bought 2 more. Great dough, sauce, cheese the works. I will forever be a Hunt Brothers Pizza only..”

“Make sure you go to the Tap Room and entrance and not the Brewery door. Good selection of beer with 10 different seltzer on tap. Outdoor seating and indoor seating available.”

“Best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to. Food was great and they kept the buffet stocked up. The people were very nice and they checked on us every few minutes. Great place and I do recommend it”

“This is the place to go to get real authentic Mexican items, that tend to be local favorites. The owner and their children help take care of the place and they are wonderful people too. It's been a pleasure coming here anytime we needed something, like certain spices you wouldn't find in the average grocery store. It has a hometown feel to it and get to know these people as I have and you will be rewarded immensely. These are good people to be friends with as I am happy to call them great friends.”

“We loved it! Next time we are in Kinston and in that area, definitely going back for more”

“The steak sub was so good! I ordered a small steak sub with everything except lettuce. It came with a bag of Lays chips and cost $8.00. Get napkins! It's a juicy sub and delicious!Next time I'm in town, I'm trying the wings!”

“Great place very friendly place. Friendly atmosphere come try your luck at Bonus Spins”

“Great food, great service and great prices. We’ll definitely be back.”

“The food is always good and I love me some hibachi on the go!! I have stopped in for lunch many times. They also have other great items to choose from so, feel they have something for everyone. I will always recommend this place for lunch. Great food and fast and friendly service every single time.”

“We visited tonight as a treat that we don’t get much. We were VERY pleased with not only the food, but our service was exceptional. Madisyn was literally the SWEETEST server. Our glasses never got empty, we didn’t have to ask her for ANYTHING. She was on point, ahead of the game, and really deserves a raise. It’s hard to get good food AND service at the same time at a lot of places now, and she absolutely KILLED IT. They weren’t busy inside, but the pickup orders were SLAMMED. I literally cannot tell you how good it was. We will be coming back and we will be asking for her again. Quite honestly, she was the best server we’ve encountered in a long time.”

“Nice clean place and very friendly staff. Nobody acted like they were mad because they were working. Enjoyed our food and the people.”

“Food is decent. Not the best Taco Bell that I've had, but far from the worst either. The service is quick and friendly though, which is a nice treat for a fast food place.”

“The staff is great from the hostess/ cashier to the sub makers. This is one dining spot where I'm always greeted with a smile! The seating/dining area is in need of an upgrade but that is no reflection on the staff.”

“This cafe doesn't care about their customers so don't support this Cafe.”

“Thank you to the staff at Kings! They made an accommodation for my son who has food sensory. As door dash limits your options I asked if he could have hushpuppies in place of another side as he steals all of mine and his siblings ☺️ he devoured it and only left a few fries!”

“Vegetarian options: The options say what has meat in it and you can also tell them to cook certain dishes to make sure there is no cross contamination.

Parking: There's a drive-thru too for easy takeout pickup.”

“Had a very pleasant experience! We ordered a lot of different meals in very specific ways and they all worked as a team to make it happen for us. A great fast food experience!

Dietary restrictions: We made sure to tell them about our daughters dairy allergy and they took extra steps to make her food right.”

“always good food and serving sizes are big not once have they ever gotten my order wrong quick and efficient”
