“We have had the worst experience ever today at this restaurant we ordered and 30 minutes later still no food my husband went and asked about the order the manager stated our order would be right out and apologized for the delay. The waitress came by and asked if everything was okay I said no we have not received our food she looked at me and said oh and walked away. 10 minutes later still no food so we got up and left. We stopped to see if we needed to pay for the chips and drinks the girl at the counter said no so we left. This is the first time this has happened we have had slow service in the past but the food has been good.”

“We are from out of state and wanted to try a local bakery during our stay, we had the cream cheese frosted cinnamon bun, chocolate macaroon and the blueberry lemon pound cake. The cinnamon bun was very good. The lemon blueberry pound cake was moist and had a good flavor but I would say it lacked blueberries , there were only 2 in the whole piece of cake. The macaroon shells were very good but the filling was not great, tasted like an extra sweet buttercream frosting which is not what I’ve ever had in macaroons. Place is very clean and has friendly staff. Did not eat lunch or breakfast there, but the pictures of the food looked good. I would not call it a bakery more like a small treat shop. We would return again and try the breakfast and lunch.”

“We visited the shop for the first time yesterday and were really impressed! The man that helped us pick our meats out of the butchery was super nice and helpful. Everything was reasonably priced considering you’re paying for everything to be raised and slaughtered at a local small farm. We will definitely be back!!!”

“This is the place to go to get real authentic Mexican items, that tend to be local favorites. The owner and their children help take care of the place and they are wonderful people too. It's been a pleasure coming here anytime we needed something, like certain spices you wouldn't find in the average grocery store. It has a hometown feel to it and get to know these people as I have and you will be rewarded immensely. These are good people to be friends with as I am happy to call them great friends.”

Dunkin' 1005 West New Bern Road, Kinston Coffee Shops • $

“Edit: I went back to redeem another coupon and the associates at the window were super nice and apologized for the managers behavior.

I went to get my coffee this morning using a coupon from my coupon booklet that I received at the grand opening and that I have been using for 6 months now. The new “manager” at the window was very rude and didn’t know what she was talking about as she tried to deny my order of a medium iced coffee with cream and caramel added. She said “caramel cost extra” but it’s free to add on the app with a medium coffee in the first place, and I’ve been getting the same coffee every time I’ve used a coupon. She then didn’t even know how to use the coupon, had to have the associate show her, and then still told me that next time I use one I can’t get caramel again even though the coupon worked. She was telling the associate to not let people add any flavors too. She needs more training ASAP because that’s unacceptable behavior for 6:30 in the morning.”
