“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.”

“I want to preface by saying that this cafe is a great place. I’ve been a regular customer here for well over a year. The employees are all kind and polite. They have a large variety of coffees, smoothies, refreshers, baked goods, breakfast and lunch foods. I’m pretty picky about my coffee, and their Snow White latte is amazing…. HOWEVER! The wait time for the drive thru can be ridiculous. I’ve waited 30 minutes for a single coffee MULTIPLE times. If you’re able to go inside and get your coffee, then definitely do so. However, for someone like me who uses the drive thru often because I have no other choice, it’s extremely frustrating. When my husband was deployed I would go through the drive thru to treat myself, with my newborn in tow, and would leave feeling beyond frustrated because the wait time would be so long that my newborn would wake up and inevitably proceed to scream the entire time we sat there. Now, my baby is 13 months, and the issue remains. He’ll be asleep in his car seat, I treat myself to a coffee, I sit and wait in the drive thru for so long that my baby wakes up and proceeds to scream. I place my order online each time, so it’s already paid for and it’s not like I can just leave the drive thru line. Please, have mercy on us who use the drive thru and improve the wait time. It feels like we get forgotten about and definitely not prioritized. It’s almost bad enough that I’m considering not returning. It’s just not worth the excessive long wait time.”

“Be warned that experiencing The Kitchen Bar @ Chef & The Farmer will ruin you for all other restaurant experiences. This was, quite simply, the best meal we have ever had, prepared and presented by people who truly care about what they do and how it is experienced by their customers. The evening was exceptional from start to finish, and Chef Vivian was charming and engaging, both during the meal and after, when she graciously took the time to talk with us and provide photo-ops and autographs. In this intimate atmosphere, Chef Vivian has surrounded herself with people of equal devotion whom she respects and trusts, and it shows, obviously yet unobtrusively. We are definitely looking forward to our next visit, which we hope will be very soon.”

“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...”

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.”
