I eat at Penn’s on a regular basis. Helen and her staff always provide good food and good service. And the desserts are fabulous!

This was a nice restaurant. Excellent service. The food was brought out quick and was excellent! Fried pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy, Lima beans, turnip greens. Plus the best cornbread. The surprise is all of the homemade desserts! We will be back!

Found this little joint off the beaten path on the way back west from Oak Island. Tasty breakfast, (house made poatagod and biscuits. Yum) homemade cakes. Nice staff.

My silverware had scrambled eggs stuck in between The ridges of the fork. My meal did not even consist of eggs. It was clear that my utensils was not washed. The food was also not freshly cooked and barely had flavor. Outsiders aslo bring the desserts to this location that are not licensed. (Cakes are brought in from people homes that live in the area. To be sold two customers) ( Therefore Sanitation score unknown)

This place is a gem. We are always looking for a place to grab a bite on the way back from the beach. The fried steak sandwich was a hit with the guys. The grilled chicken chop bowl and zucchini fries were perfect to have a little something light. Staff was friendly and service was fast. Will def be back. Elevated diner food - Something for everyone.
The fried steak sandwich is a must for me. We come to Lake Waccamaw and no trip is complete without a visit to Penns!!!

I like Penns grill! We've gone several times and the food is always good. Waitresses are always friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating for a cafe.

We're Florida residents coming to town for family business, and someone mentioned that an aunt had worked at Penns a generation ago, so here we are enjoying the homestyle breakfasts, burgers, and entries over our 5 or 6 visits. They don't seem to have a big staff, but the friendly smiles and positive feelings are just woven into the fabric of the people, and any small delay is worth waiting for. I love the historical atmosphere of a time when tobacco was king. We look for these hole in the wall places wherever we go, and when we return to Whiteville, we will be back.

This is an updated review.
My brother and I returned last Tuesday, mainly because we wanted to try the famous hot 🌭 dogs. The last time I ate them, they were still doing curbside in the early 1990's. Guess what? They still taste delicious 😋 as I remember. I got the Nathan's Hot Dog box all the way. My brother got the Kent Hot Dog box all the way. We both LOVED what we got.
