“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!”

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!”

Chick-fil-A 1706 W Ehringhaus St, Elizabeth City Fast Food • $

“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! 😤”

“Really friendly place. Really friendly people. My food was good. I believe I had to Big Mac. It was messy but that means the burger is good when it's messy. No photos though. I'm sure you seen a Big Mac before. It's been here since 1974”

Bojangles 807 W Ehringhaus St, Elizabeth City Fast Food • $

“Enjoyed having them prepare our dinner after a frustrating day at work. 1st time visitors here that always wanted to try Bojangles. Prices were favorable. We'll be back. We got the 12 piece family meal. Biscuits are delicious and recommended. Chicken had a crunchy tasty coating. It does have a little spice but flavorful. Dirty rice was a little dry so we added some gravy to it and that helped. Nothing special about the mashed potatoes and gravy. Pinto beans were a bit salty but edible. The 1/2 gallon sweet tea was delightful. But again those biscuits were awesome! Not much of a friendly customer service at the drive thru. Everything came in a box that is sturdy (loved that). Not a paper or a plastic bag that breaks. When the lady was handing me the box she didn't wait till I had it and it almost dropped to the ground. No motion of help, just a look. I quickly grabbed it with both hands. Then the window shut. Whatever happened to good customer service at fast food places?”

City Grille 691 S Hughes Blvd, Elizabeth City American • $

“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!”

Wawa 406 Halstead Blvd, Elizabeth City Fast Food

“I see a bunch of negative reviews on here and I just dont get it. Any time I go in and I go in often, the staff is always friendly. There are times when there are a lot of customers and the staff is just trying to get their job done. So people will complain that the staff is not friendly when they are just trying to get thru the rush of customers and then people will complain that the staff is too slow because they are trying to be friendly and greet each customer. I would highly recommend this Wawa. From everything I have seen they are doing a great job and I think the staff has been doing a tremendous job!! Keep up the good work”

Bojangles 1620 Northside Rd, Elizabeth City Southern • $

“We were on a road trip passing through and stopped at this bojangles. Fast , fresh food. But the reason I am writing this review is to applaud the customer service we received. We pulled off so fast to get back on the road and completely forgot our order of boberry biscuits. Once we realized we were already too far so I decided to call to see what we could do and because we were not physically there they could not issue a refund but once I told them where we were heading the person I spoke with not only told me there was a bojangles in that area but went a step further and called that location to let them know we will stop to pick up the boberry’s there! Not only was this great customer service but humanity being restored it’s the small gesture that made this experience one I will never forget. Thank you so much for caring about your customers and proving that there are people who do still care about providing quality service!”

“Dont understand why this dunkin is lower than the one in town. This is the only one I hit in Elizabeth City now, because of the friendly attitude and customer service. I walked in to ehringhaus and was told I couldn't use my app, I couldn't customize. Guy seemed miserable to be in his job, then the other lady said she didnt even know how to use the register. So, overall I will only go to this one.”

“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 🤣”
