About Poppy's

Poppy's is a restaurant in New Bern that offers a variety of delicious food and friendly service. On a Friday afternoon, guests enjoyed outdoor seating with their dogs and praised the excellent service and large, tasty Bavarian pretzel with cheese curds, fried pickles, and candied bacon. The burger with onion jam and candied bacon was perfectly cooked, and the sharing portions were generous enough for lunch and dinner. The next day, although service was slow, the experience remained positive, and the food was still highly recommended.

The menu features many satisfying options, including the wild meat meatloaf made with venison, boar, and bison, served with creamy Mac and cheese and roasted Brussels sprouts. The Mahi with lemon and artichoke sauce over rice and fried green tomatoes with mozzarella and pesto are popular starters. Drinks are crafted at a large bar, with special offerings like bourbon flight and mixed cocktails. Desserts such as bourbon-infused chocolate cake and salted caramel cheesecake are highly praised for their size and flavor.

Guests appreciate the friendly and attentive staff, especially at the bar, where servers go out of their way to make experiences memorable. The restaurant shows respect to the armed forces, with patriotic decor including an American flag ceiling and a wall of military dog tags. Overall, Poppy's offers a beautiful atmosphere, delicious meals, and great service, making it a must-try spot in New Bern.

After waiting 50 min to be seated. Ordered food and waited another 50 min when had to find our waitress to see where our food was. When it came it was COLD and the portions were that of a kids meal. Waitress then got cards mixed up when paying and that had to be fixed.

Waitress never came once to ask us how our food was or if we needed anything.

Poppy's is in a great old building, the history of which I know nothing. Decor is quasi Americana-Vintage- Veteran owned perhaps? Food and service were spot on. I had fish and chips and wife had the shrimp basket. House made chips are a must-have. Shrimp are breaded with some house-made secret mojo that was delicious and unique to this place. I've been a coastal seafood diner for 25yrs and this is really good. This will have to be a repeater because their main claim to fame are...read full review

I like when a bartender gets to know you as a regular. We are never in a hurry, and enjoy a drink or two before we order dinner. Thanks Hank, another enjoyable evening. The food was good and the service was even better. Poppies has become our favorite local bar and restaurant. I’m a veteran and I enjoy a relaxing glass of wine, bourbon, good food, good conversation and good service!
