13 Best American Restaurants in Elizabeth City

“Not even going to lie, was the best we have had in awhile. All 8 of us got something different and everyone loved everything, they got. Was the first time for all of us (other than parties) and we all said we couldn't wait to go back and try more. Hands up the best in Ecity..... A+ on everything!!!“

“Southern Soul FoodThe She Crab Soup ranked with some of the best I have ever had.Cornbread melted in your mouth, with the perfect amount of sweet and spicy!!The crab cake was on point.And the Tuna Appetizer cooked perfectly!We left stuffed!!“

“So this was my second time coming here and just like the first time, the food was amazing!! This time I tried The Sampler and I feel like for what you pay it's a good deal. They also have a fresh fish market and the prices are very reasonable. I will be going back again and again lol.“

“My wife and I enjoyed another good meal at Cypress Creek again today. We were served by Sarah who was awesome and on several previous occasions we were politely and caringly asked by Daniel (who buses tables) if we needed anything. Meals and service are consistently good and the atmosphere is very comfortable. Thank you to all the staff - both the "front of the house" and in the kitchen.“

“It was my family's first visit we had cheese curds that were fried just right! My husband and grandson had cheeseburgers and friesand I had a wedge salad that was exceptionally good! However my son had chicken fingers that were overcooked, I should have sent them back,but it took a while to get our food and it was getting close to closing time.I think the wattress we had made our experience a great one!This was St.Pattysday night.“

“way over pricedEdit: Originally left one star review because of the price. first time i came what i got was pretty high in price, but i wanted to leave a fair review and have been back a few times since and while it is somewhat high in price food is pretty decent, and they seem clean too.“

“An old school Cafe. A place that's been around maybe since Moses was a lad. It shows it's age a bit but so do I... It's not a fancy bistro, I don't think I saw a hipster anywhere but the coffee was fresh and hot and the breakfast menu was solid. Its my understanding it is breakfast only these daysI had the $8 breakfast. EGGS over medium cooked perfectly (not every place gets it right , sausage, toast and home fries. No frills bells or whistles just a solid breakfast with good service for a reasonable price. A reasonable price for the 2023/2024 economy. Happy New Years everybody.“

“First time I've been in years. The last time my wife and I were here it was still smoking inside and we never went back. I came for breakfast and everything was great! I'll be back soon for dinner if I can get past the breakfast goodness! My wife of almost 40 years passed away a few weeks ago so I was looking for a place to be a regular. Thanks for being here!“

“There are many new restaurants in town but The Sandwich Market is an institution for Elizabeth City and a must Go when you are in the area. They may look simple but they are definitely made with love and you can taste it!!! A normal place for locals and a great stop destination for travelers!!! The decoration of the restaurant is something different but amazing! I go to EC at least three times per year to visit and each time this must go place for me. The staff is super friendly, they bring up the food to your table and they are just the best people to get food from. I have tried several of their sandwiches and none of them have disappointed me. I have gone with at least 4 other people and all of them loved their sandwiches!!! I highly recommend it ???“

“Stopped in for lunch and had a catfish sandwich and sweet tea. The sandwich ? was huge. Tea? was good and refreshing. The husband wanted fish ? for dinner. We both got the spicy ? 3 piece white fish. It was ? I had 2 pieces left over and had fish tacos ? with it for lunch the next day. For both of us! I hadn't been there in a VERY long while. We will be going back ?“

“I love the food here! They're going to always get your order wrong, but the food is spectacular! Also, the people that cook in the back don't cover their hair. I feel that cooks should always cover their hair. I mean their hair was hanging down on their shoulders and everything. As if hair doesn't float in the air and travel. smh“

“Diner style, with a wide ranging menu. We had a larger party and called on a whim. They accommodated us very quickly. Our servers were great.The food was delicious, not a disappointed eater in the group. The food we had:Chicken and Beef Gyros (excellent), Fried catfish (wonderful), Bacon burger, Fried chicken meal. Sides: fries and sweet potato fries were great, Mac n cheese and collard greens were out of this world.Great find. Thank you.“

“Service was polite, food came out fast and hot. Definitely a great experience, already thinking about when will be the next time I'm coming back. Noah was great and the manager Lacy walked the floor making sure customers were doing well. SHE'S AMAZING!!!!!!!!“
