“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!“

Bojangles Southern • $
1620 Northside Rd, Elizabeth City

“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!“
