Small amount of country style steak. Tender but not much flavor. Mashed spuds were only ok. Corn was tasteless. Rolls were typical out of the bag and barely unwarmed. Staff was nice. Tummy is now hurting from the food. The steak tastes worse the second time. :(

This is an old school throwback place, the pancakes are awesome. Be sure to bring cash money, that is all they take.

A friend and I get breakfast together at Paula’s about once a month and it’s consistently delicious. They’re always on their game—friendly from the moment you walk in, whether you’re a regular or a first time customer, and speedy in their service. They make excellent omelets and everything I’ve gotten has tasted just like good old down-home breakfast! If you have special requests they’re flexible… they were willing to make my omelet with egg whites and give me whole wheat toast. If you’re gonna grab breakfast in Lenoir, Paula’s should be on your list!!!

Was told I couldn't bring my own drink into the establishment and didn't realize that they didn't take a card and it was a cash only place.

Cash only in 2024... seriously? Bad service and mediocre food. Go to Southern Cross Roads. Heck, go to McDonalds.

Maybe I came on an off day. They were busy and the wait staff were drowning. Food was mediocre at best. Cute place with potential and busy so probably good most of the time. Oh, and CASH ONLY or pay the ATM fee...
