Restaurants in Tarboro

“There’s not a lot in the way of fine dining here in Tarboro, so we’re grateful to have On The Square. We visited for the first time last week for a little family celebration. The atmosphere is simple but nice. The service was efficient. The staff were friendly. The food was delicious. Though it’s a finer dining experience, we were also allowed to bring our toddler, which we appreciate. Of course we’d have excused ourselves had he become disruptive. Between the four of us adults, we tried the steak, the salmon, and the mahi. All were delicious. Even the kid liked his sampling of everything from our plates, but the bread especially was a hit with him. We’ll be returning for date night or celebrations for sure.”

“Stopped Into this little diner for a quick lunch with my daughter. The place is small but does have some Seating inside. The menu is pretty extensive and way more options available than I initially thought there would be. I do have to say that the food here is amazing! It was made to order while we waited ( we took our order to go since I was running errands). The price of the food was excellent and the quality great . I would highly recommend this place for a filling delicious meal.”

“I haven’t been to my hometown in nearly 40 years. Today I was going to pass Tarboro on my way to Maryland and I just couldn’t resist the urge to take the 64 exit. I wanted to connect with locals and ask them about how the town of Tarboro is doing in general. My travels have taken me all over the US, but I often think about where I was born and my early years there. I picked up lunch to go just down the street, but wandered down Main and found a lovely surprise in Tarboro Coffee House. It’s a long drive from Wilmington to Maryland on little sleep, and I could tell by the beautiful appearance of the shop that this was going to be a great cup of coffee. Every detail of the appearance of the shop is so spectacular! The impeccable design of the logo, the colors, the eclectic elements like the antique record player (a Victrola perhaps?) that caught my eye in the window drew me in. Maybe it’s the painter in me, but I set a lot of store in aesthetics, and that kind of attention to detail bespeaks a passion that I believe translates into a truly flawless product. I have found this to be particularly true of small businesses whose drive and motivation comes from a deep love of what they do, and the people they serve. The effort put into the storefront, (and the inside) raised my expectations and I was not disappointed. I was greeted by a friendly barista named Haley who set about making me feel welcomed immediately. I asked her for a recommendation for a sweet espresso drink and she suggested the special. I wish I could remember what it was called, but it was a white mocha with some extra ingredients, and she impressed me with the wide selection of milk choices. It’s reassuring to know I don’t have to sacrifice my gut health for a beverage there. Man that has got to be the best drink I’ve ever tasted!!! It was delicious, and not overly sweet or too rich. The drink stayed consistent until the last sip. There was no syrup or chocolate lining the bottom of the cup. She really knew how to make a good cup of coffee! I was really blessed to catch Haley, (not sure how she spells her name, I’m sorry!) in the afternoon because we had time to converse about the current state of the town. It was so nice to talk to someone who was also born there and who grew up there. I’ve been so curious about Tarboro since my family moved away in 1986. What a beautiful experience, service, gathering place you all have created here. I really can’t thank you enough for giving me the chance to not only have a great cup of coffee, but to reconnect with my hometown, and to meet one her best and brightest in Haley. She has a very good head on her shoulders, and her kindness towards me is so appreciated. I know how hard it is to run a small business especially in food service, and how much it hurts your heart when people don’t see the hard work that goes into it. They white-glove and overly scrutinize family-owned business while giving endless chances to major corporations that compromise on the quality and safety of their products and services. Well I want you to know you are seen, appreciated and admired. Please don’t ever give up this beautiful dream you’ve realized. You’re doing something so wonderful. Well done!”

“Good food with excellent southern customer service.”

“I travel to the eastern part of N.C. and have been for 7 months, I’m mad that I am just finding out about Everleans, the food is the best I’ve had out here, the staff was great and customer service phenomenal, you are committing a crime if you don’t eat here, 10 stars out of 5, will be back…”

“The waitresses were wonderful, food was great!!”

“We stopped here on the way home to get a quick bite to eat. We ordered online, in-store. Our food only took a few minutes and they gave us our drinks early. The Manager, Steven and the team were lively and friendly. They came to our table to make sure our food was right! I was very impressed for fast food.”

“Great tasting nutrition shakes!”

“Your Waffle House was very very cold today.It was so cold my food was cold before I eat it all. Not a good thing.The manger didn’t even care when I told them.Just said the workers need it that cold.Will not be going back any time soon.Did I say it was cold cold cold!!!!!”

“RUN AND TELL THE OWNER CHARLOTTE TOLD YOU TO STOP IN TO GET SOMETHING REAL GOOD. I had salmon and rice with cabbage as the side. So good to me! Talk about a real Gem in Eastern North Carolina. Edgecombe County is where you will find this place in the plaza where the movie theater is located. The owner was a delight to talk with just describing his love of cooking more healthy. Going back real soon.”

“We love this place. They are so accommodating and the staff is always gracious and kind. Great hang out for a beer or glass of wine with friends, perfect space for events and gatherings, plus there's always something going on at TBC.”

“Just had dinner here and let me tell you we are difficult to impress since we eat Mexican daily but everything was amazing! Great portions, taste, and homemade tortillas. I ordered a sope de asada. My son an ACP off the kids menu. My husband and mother-in-law a mojarra frita iykyk. My father in law had the Texas fajitas and he cleared the plate! Thank you to the whole staff. Please check them out!”

“I ordered a plate 2 scramble eggs with cheese, grits, home fries and country ham to go. Got home I had patty sausage instead of country ham so I drive all the way back up there give them my plate and explain I got patty sausage instead of country ham. they give me my plate back and give me country hame in a little bowl in a bunch of broken up pieces. Besides all my other food is cold grits cold and hard couldn't get butter to melt in it. Eggs cold and home fries cold. They should have thrown this plate in the trash and remade the order.”

“Always clean and the staff is super friendly and attentive. I do a lot of online orders for pick up and if it's not already in the pick up window someone always helps me really quickly. I've never had a wrong order or food not ready at the estimated time. It's always fresh and delicious and hot if I order hot food. None of the food has ever been mushy from sitting if I'm running late to pick up my order and it's always delicious and reminds me of subs from Delaware (home state) with the quality. I also love the points system and I often have free food available without even realizing because they add up quickly.”

“This place is way overpriced for its quality of food. Though my service was great; my potato was under done. The scallops were over cooked and gritty. The steak was the best of the worst on the plate but you have to season yourself. The cook that brought out the food was very nice.”

“Everyone please let's get out an show some love an support! Thank you in advance 💖”

“The cakes were very good… I tried 3 different ones and they were all great”

“I love this place. The people are friendly the drinks are great. I'm going to do everything I can to support this location because they are a great addition to the area.”

“Stopped by today and had hot dogs with chili and the famous Rollin fries. They did not disappoint. The gentleman at the register even offered to bring my food to my car because it looked like it was about to rain. Great food and great customer service!”

“One of my favorite authentic Mexican places to eat. A+++”

“Was good price was reasonable. Big portions”

“Fast service and the food was on point. I got egg drop soup, boneless spray rib combo, and a side of white rice with crunchies for the soup. everything was so yummy and perfect!!”

“We often use the money service to send money to family. They have various items from Mexico not found at the supermarket. We have not eaten at the restaurant located in the back of the store. Always friendly service.”

“Love this burgerking”

“Started working in the area about 2 years ago and I stumbled onto the place by accident, and I'm glad I did. The food is very good and consistent but the atmosphere is not so hot, I mean not for me anyway. I'm ex-Navy so I've been to a lot of places in my life and I know what's good. I come about once a week and take it back to work for lunch or take it home for dinner. I'm happy :)”

“New store, opened only 4 days. Went on the app to order, but they weren't set up for mobile orders yet and didn't honor the specials. Cashier was friendly, and service was pretty quick inside, drive thru, not so much. Doing good so far!!”

“Shaff are kind & considerate. Space is clean, food is fresh & fries are hot. I spilled my milkshake just outside the store (was totally my fault) & cleaned up my mess. They replaced it after I came back inside with milkshake on my dress & a trash bag full of milky wipes, paper towels & my cup. Kindness without shaming me.... Very touching. Speaks volumes to the hearts & work ethic of this crew. I will be back for more food and smiles.”

“Friendly staff, good food, very clean inside & out.”
