Great food, chicken and shrimp etouffee, and shrimp po'boy were amazing. The service and restaurant were fantastic. Busy but no weight. Other customers sitting at the bar all were friendly and great company for strangers. Meet some regulars that are there every Friday. This speaks for the fact that locals come there every week.

One of my favorite restaurant. They have a daily menu option along with their regular menu. Everything is exquisite and delicious. Recently had a Buffalo chicken egg rool. It was small and quickly gone. The mac& cheese brisket was delicious. The atmosphere is nice, moody and clean. They have a bar area, dine in area, as well as a patio area when the weather is good. The staff there is always nice and charming.Parking: Sometime you have to park a block or two away if it's busy. The restaurant is located on a one-way street.

Have dined here on a few occasions and have enjoyed each visit. When hosting friends or family that aren't from this area, We always bring them here. There's not a single appetizer, handheld or entree we've ordered that we haven't liked. Great food and presentation every time. Atmosphere is inviting and cozy.

Great little spot for some good food and local brews!
First visit. The food is better than average but it's WAY overpriced. The staff is great. Atmosphere is nice. It's just the blatant price gouging... Our table got some entrees but I got smoked wings. $18.00 before tip for 6 wings. That's $3.00 PER WING... If your tipping 20% that's a $3.50 tip bringing the grand total to 21.50... FOR 6 WINGS... INSANE. Too rich for my blood. Not going back. If the wings were the best wings I ever had, ok. But they were just average. The blue cheese was like soup. Completely watered down. No chucks. Pretty much tasteless. I would not be surprised if they literally watered it down to stretch it out. Bad experience overall.

My 4th time in 12 months. Every time I go, I try something different. Just like all the times before it was fresh, hot and prepared, just perfect. Kuhdo's to the Chef, the combination of flavors is always wonderful.

Located in charming downtown Elizabeth City, just over the bridge coming from the OBX. Visited the restaurant for lunch and could not have been happier with the choice. Upon entering, the restaurant boasts a massively beautiful bar with ample seating as well as pub style seating in its vicinity. We opted for a traditional table and chairs in the back of the restaurant. The hostess and our waitress were warm and friendly. Our waitress was well versed on their specials & their selected brews. As pictured we ordered the recommended Shrimp & Grits and the crab cake sandwich with sweet potato fries. The Shrimp & Grits were the 2nd best I've had anywhere & I've tried them everywhere I've been. The crab cake sandwich also delicious, nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked. The fries were perfect. Finished the meal off with Irish coffee! Perfect lunch! Will definitely return when back in town.

Title: A Memorable Culinary Adventure: My Experience at Hoppin'Johnz Enjoying Pumpkin Spice Beer and BurgerIn the realm of gastronomy, there exists a myriad of flavors and combinations that tantalize our taste buds and leave lasting impressions on our palates. Recently, I had the pleasure of embarking on a culinary adventure at Hoppin'Johnz, a renowned establishment known for its innovative fusion of flavors. This essay aims to recount my unforgettable experience savoring their delectable pumpkin spice beer and burger, highlighting the harmonious blend of autumnal flavors and the delightful ambiance that made this dining experience truly exceptional.Upon entering Hoppin'Johnz, I was immediately captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The rustic decor, adorned with autumnal hues and subtle hints of pumpkin, created an ambiance that perfectly complemented the seasonal theme. The friendly staff greeted me with genuine smiles, further enhancing the welcoming atmosphere and setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.As I perused the menu, my eyes were immediately drawn to the intriguing combination of pumpkin spice beer and burger. Curiosity piqued, I decided to embark on this culinary journey, eager to explore the harmonious marriage of flavors that awaited me. The anticipation grew as I awaited the arrival of my order, and the tantalizing aroma wafting from the kitchen only heightened my excitement.The moment finally arrived as the server placed before me a beautifully presented plate. The burger, adorned with a generous slice of melted cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and a dollop of pumpkin-infused sauce, was a sight to behold. The pumpkin spice beer, served in a frosty glass, exuded a rich amber hue, enticing me to take my first sip.With great anticipation, I took a bite of the burger, and instantly, a symphony of flavors danced upon my palate. The succulent patty, cooked to perfection, was infused with subtle hints of pumpkin and spices, creating a delightful balance of savory and sweet. The creamy cheddar cheese and crispy bacon added layers of texture and depth, elevating the burger to new heights of culinary excellence.To complement the burger, I took a sip of the pumpkin spice beer. The first taste revealed a harmonious blend of malty richness and the distinct flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The beer's smooth and velvety texture further enhanced
Really good food. Can’t go wrong with their burgers. They have really good specials as well. Like the option for indoor and outdoor seating.
