“This is my favorite place to eat; the food is amazing the service is the best and the staff is so friendly. If you haven't tried the food here, you have no idea what you are missing. So, you need to treat yourself and your family at least one time at the In & Out Cafe.”

Restaurants by Cuisine
“I’ve been eating here since they opened up and I keep forgetting to leave a review. The food is great and the staff is awesome! Very friendly, short wait a great food. I’ve tried everything on the menu and I don’t think I can pick my favorite. Maybe the cocida papas locas. I will keep coming back as long as they don’t change anything.”
“Fresh, Fresh, Fresh! I just stopped for a late lunch and ordered the Heirloom tomato and steak salad weekly special. Everything including basil, buratta and the local heirloom tomatoes were so flavorful and the steak was perfectly cooked. The chimichurri was the perfect combination to this seasonal salad. It’s so nice to enjoy such amazing food right here in Downtown Elizabeth City where I live-Hoppin John’s is always the greatest place for southern food and hospitality!! Don’t miss our amazing food and drink scene in Elizabeth City!”

“No frills Japanese restaurant that I have been completely & truly enjoying since BEFORE 9/11.
The ambience has never changed & I take great comfort in walking in and ordering the steaming miso soup, a side salad, tempura veggies & my most favored dish. It's akin to visiting an old friend you haven't seen in awhile, and you pick up right where you left off!
Service is very prompt, courteous and always helpful if you're interested in trying a dish or side you've never tasted before.
All emphasis is on the cuisine(succulent, & truly authentic) and the ever stellar service. No matter if I sit at the sushi bar, dine in, or take out, the food is always what I seem to need & ever delectable!”
“This place is a hidden gem and has come a long way since my first visit. You can definitely see the difference with the new team—they genuinely care, and it shows in the service and overall experience. The food is really good; some of my favorites are the Bold & Tangy Burger, Bourbon Street Pasta, and the Roast Beef Cheddar Melt. Shout out to the owners as well—I’ve seen them step in and help when needed, which says a lot. Overall, I highly recommend this place.”
“My wife and I just had our Valentines dinner tonight and the food and staff were outstanding as usual. you all were so busy and still capt, attentive to every table and guest in your restaurant. such an outstanding restaurant highly recommend. thank you all for a great night.”

“Definitely need to immolate what the location in Va Beach and Chesapeake are doing but overall good meal, decent service, feel like staff is sometimes overwhelmed but when that place is packed it’s understandable. What happened to the big rolls, they went small now but still good.”
“This pizza was amazing, so good and delicious. I loved this pizza.”

“We have been several times now, and the food and service are 5 star quality. We mostly get breakfast food, and of all it the pancakes and waffles seem to be the favorite with our group. The staff are fast and efficient but still very friendly. We will be back as often as possible.”
“My husband & I have been traveling to Elizabeth city mon-fri for 13weeks for work. We have eaten at City grille every single week we have been down there. We have loved most of the food we have tried. Some of my favorites would have to be the Ham, turkey, bacon club sandwich , the city grille burger, the slaw, fried okra & Mac n chz & the carrot cake is the best I've ever had. My husband doesn't even like carrot cake & he loves it. We usually do take out but the staff has been absolutely amazing. So nice, thoughtful, & accommodating.”
“I highly recommend Andy's Pancake & Steakhouse! If you haven't eaten here yet, you are truly missing out on both the food and the service. I had the Sausage Dandy Omelette (sausage, bell peppers, and onions), and it was cooked to perfection. The French toast was also absolutely delicious—it soaked up the syrup perfectly and was just "melt-in-your-mouth" good. The service was fantastic; the staff is so friendly and attentive. I was checked on constantly and never had a moment where I wasn't able to enjoy my coffee or tea. The atmosphere is calm and wonderfully old-fashioned—it reminds me of "yesterday" in the best way possible. A 5-star experience all around!”
“20/10 definitely would recommend, personally Its my new favorite spot”

“Oh my God! If I could give this ice cream shop all the stars, I certainly would.
My daughter and I stopped by during this heatwave, unknowing what to expect... and friends!! Fresh, delicious, homemade happiness in a cup is all I say!
Tamara, thank you for your kindness and patience! She is a complete gem!
Get use to seeing us because we will be back, and we are bringing friends along!”
“After seeing some bad reviews I figured I see for my self. With other places in town not good at all I was very hopeful this place was good. It did not disappoint. We ordered multiple different things and they all were perfect. Placing the order over the phone was easy. Check out was done by I assume the owners child but she was super pleasant and knowledgeable.”
“I've been here a couple times and it's been okay just haven't been overly impressed. Today the burnt ends were very good but the shredded pork and shredded brisket were just okay. For this whole play I paid $22 so it was not worth it for the quality of food that I got. It was a lot of food I was stuffed by the end”

“They could improve by keeping the hours that they have posted. I went to get breakfast and they told me they were closing 2 hours early. Just ridiculous. They will be closed til Thursday for the holidays & couldn't even work today!”
“Staff was very friendly, food was delicious!! There were tables and booths available to sit in, everything seems very clean! The buffet had a huge selection of food and everything was hot and fresh! Our waiter was also very friendly!! Overall they had a big selection of food and a good selection of desserts as well and everything tasted great! I would absolutely recommend this place!”
“The food was as good as the service. Wonderful experience. We had 11 people in our party and it took no time to be seated and have the food come out. The owner even came over and introduced herself and came back with the chef. Will be going back.”
“We are so lucky to have this little gem in Elizabeth City! I love the casual space that is clean and comfortable while offering tasty selections for lunch , dinner, and brunch on the weekends. Everything I’ve had from soup to the specials is delicious and obviously homemade. I’ve had the meatloaf special, grilled cheese, pot roast and banana pudding cheesecake. So good! The desserts are amazing and also homemade right there at the restaurant. Please give it a try - the owners and servers are so friendly and professional, and the food will not disappoint!”

“Been living here since 2010.The BEST food in Hertford to date. Great customer service. When placing orders over the phone, they never rush and make you feel as if youre family. All fresh food, hand made to order and from scratch. No frozen or false adverisement, as has been the case in this area. By far surpasses expectation. 10/10 with every single menu item ordered. In fact, it is now my goal to try every single item on the menu across the board! Im not done with one day's items without thinking about what I'll order the next time. You MUST go to Bout Thyme Kitchen and Bakery!”

“You can’t deny the food is good here. I’ve walked-in and order here 4 separate times and I can’t deny the food is amazing the sides can use more seasoning. The cornbread taste more like gingerbread unless the host mixed the breads up. The wait time for the fried chicken is very long but once you get it - it will be hot out the grease. Everyone is so nice and helpful!”

“My sister and I enjoyed a delicious dinner tonight and everything was perfect. Our server, Julianne, is without a doubt one of the friendliest servers we have ever had at any restaurant. She was very courteous and attentive. Jaylen kept the salad bar completely filled with fresh foods. He seems to be a very happy worker and is also very friendly. Keep up the good job, Ruby Tuesday's! We look forward to our next visit with you.”
“Tonight my father ordered food on an online order around 5:46pm we got to the building to pick up the food just past 6pm. Me & my son waited outside in the car since I am 35 weeks pregnant & my son is autistic. My father went into the building to pick up the food. We did NOT receive our food until 6:41pm. I understand dinner rush & I understand & know how long it takes to cook food to order as I used to work at 2 different fast food establishments as a cashier & a manager. This is absolutely unacceptable! 😤”
“My wife and I went for an early breakfast and they have the best biscuits. I ordered a Cajun Chicken biscuit and coffee and it was delicious. I would go back for it. My wife had the biscuits and gravy and she really enjoyed it. She loves her biscuits and gravy. We just had a home less person begging for money in the restaurant that took away from my quiet breakfast with my wife, but I don't blame him. He was cold and needed help. It's hard not to feel sorry for people, but they shouldn't be in a business where people just want to shop or eat. Thank you.”

“This place is the bomb! Every single time I come here … I AM GREETED WITH WARM WELCOMES & conversation! Its my go to stop everyday, sometimes twice a day. My favorites are Morgan and Alexis. However, everybody there is amazing, I just see them the most! Ive seen some rude customers here too and I just dont get why people cant go about their day trying to at least be nice and show kindness! Youre not the only customer !!! So yes you might have to wait every now and then but usually theyre very kind and talk to you while you wait and try to get your order delivered to you in a timely manner. I have nothing but great things to say here. Its not what the situation is, its how its handled. Thats why they are my favorite store. I hope this helps someone’s day and be a deciding factor to come here vs the negative comments!”

“Visiting from Michigan..This spot was super clean and well-kept, which I really appreciated. The customer service was quick and efficient, and everyone I interacted with was friendly. I also noticed the manager was really hands-on, making sure everything was up to date and running smoothly. You can tell they care about the place and the customers. Overall, a really positive experience.. especially after a long drive 🤣”
