Restaurants in Havelock

“Came to Newbern from Greenvill and then found this gem on maps and drove a couple of miles away from Newbern to try it. I have to say it has been a long time since I came across a good Mexican/Hispanic restaurant. The food, the service all of it was top notch. Really enjoyed the food, every dish tasted unique and flavorful. Consider me a fan and will be visiting again soon”

Parking: It was difficult to maneuver in such a small lot.”

“I love going to this Starbucks. It's well kept, quick service, and so far I haven't had a mistake with any of my orders. Either grabbing a quick mocha on break or sitting for a few hours chatting with friends, I have enjoyed it.”
