Was passing through on my way home from Virginia. I had not stopped there in over 15 years. Decided to stop and order take-out. The food was ready in a timely manner. The food tasted pretty good and the staff were friendly. I would go again!

They have the best desserts ever, especially the blondie!! I loved having a restaurant right around the corner, it was great for date nights! I hope they can reopen. I’m craving their desserts!

We have enjoyed D&R for years. The last few months they have stepped it up a notch or two. Some changes in the building which are much better. Their Friday sea food is a big hit. Don’t think you’ll match it this side of OBX. Their Texas toast burger is awesome. Generally my wife doesn’t order fried chicken in a restaurant. (She is number one at frying chicken) but she enjoyed their fried chicken.

Amazing little place. They were short on some side dishes but that didn't bother me with the shortage going on. She was able to offer me something else and the food came out quick and was so good. Most of all the waitress was just the sweetest and kept checking on us. Would definitely go back :)

Food was delicious as always.

I have passed by this fine place a few times and today I decided to stop in. Got the bean soup. OUTSTANDING and the best BLT I've ever had. Very friendly staff (don't remember their names. I'd like to give them a shout out) and very nice atmosphere. I hope to get there for breakfast one morning when passing through. Y'all have a great day and thank you for the great meal.

My wife loves this spot! We have driven all the way from Rocky Mount NC three times (85 miles) to enjoy the food and greet the wonderful staff.
The food was good, we had lunch cut off time for breakfast was 11am. I know staff right now is hard but I do feel the staff could be a little more friendly. There was no smiles at all or them even remotely happy. And the reason I gave them 4 star is the menu prices, they have this Friday special seafood. Where you can do an pick 2 or pick 3. The pick 3 deal is a good price but the pick 2 I eneded paying more when I could've separate it and got more. Example rounding up they had crab cakes for $11 and catfish for $12. The pick 2 is $24 so I paid a doller more. My spouse got a cat fish $12 and oyster (I believe it was called) $8 and he paid $4 over and unpaid 1 over when I could separate it paid less and it said on the menu all seafood items guaranteed fries and coleslaw so if paying separate I would've got 4 side items instead of 2. I did ask about portation and it was the same as a single and platter. So again they need to work on the deal pricing cause i ended up paying more and being my first time there it's hard to say if I'll be back. I can tell its definitely a neighborhood restaurant where everyone knows each other and have there regulars.

Have been here before and the food is mediocre at best. A lot of it is not fresh, comes from cans and is bland. This “southern restaurant” has the worst biscuits I’ve ever tasted. I’m pretty sure they are the canned Pillsbury biscuits. But I am writing this due to my most resent experience there. We waited 45 minutes for breakfast so we decided to leave and just pay for our drinks because that’s all we had gotten. Unfortunately, there are not many dining choices in Gates county so we opted for this place instead of driving a ways. Next time we will cook at home or just do the drive. This place is not worth it.

Excellent food with friendly staff and spotless clean. I had fried oyster and shrimp which were very fresh and delicious. My husband had the Roger burger and loved it, along with a side salad. Good iced tea as well. We will stop here again. Reasonable prices and good sized portions.

Nice, quiet, unassuming atmosphere with good cooking and friendly wait staff. My wife and I stopped during our travels and are glad we did. I had the Sunday brisket and my wife had the BBQ. We both wanted to try the yummy sounding desserts but were too full from all the food we got at a reasonable price. Should we venture this way again, we'll most definitely be stopping here!

Small quaint family style restaurant. Limited special after 11 am on Sunday. Food was palatable but could be better. Don't think me and wife will attend again.
