Good food, good service, what more could you ask for?! Came here one morning for breakfast before having my truck worked on. The waitress was nice and efficient with my order. Food came out in good time and everything tasted great and filled me up! The inside was spacious and found comfortable seating along the wall by the door. Thanks for having me! read more

The menu, like many diners, with really big menus are often overly ambitious and cause everything to be less than their very best. They were out of a lot of stuff, and some of what they could make seemed canned, old, or simply like it was just stuff you'd make at home for a much lower price. The staff was friendly, which will lead us to try them again. Maybe we ordered the wrong things. They have a surprising amount of seafood and steaks on the menu, priced at what you'd expect from much fancier restaurants. Baker's has a small town vibe, where it was clear people knew each other and the staff knew the regulars. That has its value too. read more

They forgot my food then took 25 minutes to make it. Never acknowledged the mistake. 2 out of 3 plates on the table went untouched because it was so bad. Only 1 person had edible food. If your food is that bad you better at least have good service, this place can't even do that. read more

The first thing I noticed? Real butter on the table--not margarine or any other fake stuff. That set the tone right away. I ordered 3 eggs, hashbrowns, corned beef, and grits. Everything was exceptional. The eggs had that subtle hint of bacon grease, the kind of flavor that instantly took me back to breakfast at my aunt's house in southern Ohio. That's not something you get at chain diners--it's comfort, nostalgia, and skill all on one plate. The service was spot-on, friendly without hovering. The place itself is a quiet little hole-in-the-wall, exactly the kind of spot where the food speaks for itself. Best breakfast I've had in years. If you're looking for something real, this is it. read more

Tasted fine. But they give you too little for too much $$$. Never again. We ordered bacon egg cheese biscuits (2) and 2 orders of home fries. We got two very small portions of all for a ridiculous amount of money. I think it was 20-25 dollars. read more

Low quality food for the high prices. Poor service also. Place is dirty as are the rest rooms.

If I could give a negative number I would, doesn't even deserve 1 star. The sweet tea was not sweet. They couldn't bother to raise the bun so my BBQ sandwich just fell apart. No slaw on the BBQ sandwich. The French fries seemed to be frozen from the grocery store. The waitress doesn't deb to be a people person or maybe she just doesn't know how to deal with an unhappy customer. We will NEVER come back here. I don't know how they are still in business. read more

service was horrible, food was not hot, fries were cold, limp, dark brown, salad was the worst crap, I can't believe I paid $25 for this junk! this place needs to go out of business! yuck.... read more

Hometown small cafe vibe. Customers and staff very friendly. Plenty of parking. Food was not the greatest of what I had. Bbq plate mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. I couldn't finish more than a few bites of the meat even with bbq sauce. Mashed potatoes were delishous. Mac and cheese had no flavor. read more

Always see many trucks parked outside during the week. Finally stopped in here a few weeks ago. This is a nice local business. Food is good. I would back because I live in the area, but I wouldn't drive across town to come here. read more

Food, service and small town feel. Homemade biscuit's are so delicious. Shrimp and grits is my go to when I'm here. The wait staff are always happy and make sure you never run out of coffee. A must go spot if your in town. read more

The place looks quaint, and the servers are pleasant. The food however, very lack luster. Tried to love it twice, and both occasions were a serious let down. Needing some reimagining around the food and menu. read more

Good ole down home cooking! Welcome to North Carolina. This place travels you back to the good ole days. Hash browns here are my favorite. Everything else pretty much tastes the same. read more

Classic southern diner. Nothing special but all the classics. Friendly staff and decent food. A 3 star someplace else, but for Jacksonville it's 4. On the way to or from the airport is usually when I stop here. read more

We had breakfast at Bakers this AM. Our server was pleasant. I had a small western omelette and my wife ordered pancakes with sausage patties. I assumed the small western would be made with two eggs. It was made with one egg. The one egg thing bothers me. My wife's pancakes were ok but nothing special. We will keep looking for a better breakfast spot. read more

Great place. Good food, reasonable prices. Fast and friendly service. Love it! I will be back. read more

They offered the worse service in the business. So busy chatting with regular customers that was no time for anyone else. So I can't account for the food because the waitress never bothered to bring it. read more

Physically, this restaurant little rough at the edges but don't let this turn you off, Bakers is a gem of a family style restaurant staffed by extra friendly, welcoming people. I ordered the small sausage gravy over biscuits and home fries and a cup of coffee, I left stuffed to the gills. I'll planning on bringing my family for dinner soon, I hope you do too! read more

Terrible food, worse service, and lazy waitresses make this place a wonder to be in business. No wonder they have not served dinner in years. They wont serve outsiders they dont know anything worth eating or drinking in under an hour. read more

I just had to walk out after I waited over 30 minutes for an egg and cheese sandwich. This place is usually extremely slow, but today there wasn't many people there at all. How about NOT TAKING your customers for granted. read more

If you wanna wait almost 2 hours for your food and for it to come out half cold then be my guest , but if you got some sense I wouldn't. We came in at 11am and didn't leave until almost 1pm with the majority being us playing the waiting game. Our waitress only came by to take our drink order and food then disappeared and it wasn't till I asked for her to check up on our food that it magically came out only for my husbands food to come out cold. I'd understand if it was slamming but we came in when it calmed down quite a bit. We had people sit after us and they got their food asap. Best response you can get from the waitresses? "It's not my fault" at least they comped our sandwich but we weren't too sure if they did cuz the old lady at the front checking us out scrunched her face confused as to why we weren't paying for it. Not worth it! read more

This was our first time at this restaurant. My wife noticed all the cars in the parking lot and wanted to see what it was like. The place was full and of course it was a Saturday morning. Friendly staff. A bit of a wait to get served, but it was Saturday. We had breakfast and it was good, no complaints. I love the atmosphere of lots of locals. We are from Holly Ridge. My only complaint is the men's bathroom. It needs some work and clean more often. We will return as we like the mom & pop restaurants and not the chain types. read more

Wish 0 stars was an option- We have this place a second chance and it was one chance too many. The first time the restaurant was busy and while food was good the service was horrible, we had 2 adults and 1 preteen in our party for lunch. We stopped this time for breakfast- 2 adults. The service again was horrible! The restaurant this time had maybe 10-12 people in it and 3 waitresses working. The service was almost non existent and our food was not as ordered and cold. One order was hash browns with gravy- instead we received tater tots with gravy, the second order was 1 scrambled egg and 1 biscuit with gravy. The egg was fine however the biscuit with gravy was cold and our waitress NEVER came back to check on our food nor our drinks- 2 cups of coffee. We will not be back. Ambiance is nothing great but not horrible - very average. read more

Service took forever to come checkup on us even to get a refill on water took 30 mins. Then the food came out cold like my ham felt like it sat under the heat lap for longer it took to get a refill on water. I know for a fact they skipped our food cause I saw a family come in 24 minutes after we ordered; then I saw they're around 20 minutes later their food came out ours no where to be seen. Plus they were the only people that came in after us so like maybe 4 tables had people. Long story short took 1 hour and 36 minutes just to get out cold food. read more

Had a really great breakfast here, good food! Came in on a Saturday morning and they were packed. No wait time though and the staff was very friendly. We did have a bit of a wait for the food, but considering how busy they were it was understandable, and they had good coffee that they were constantly refilling. I had an omelet with home fries and a biscuit, would definitely recommend it. Will be back again! read more

My sister took me here for a birthday brunch,I didn't enjoy it at all. My omelette was not tasty at all. They served me dry toast! Yuck. It's not a place I would go back to. I wasn't impressed at all. read more

The service was terrible and the food was awful. It's definitely not home southern cooking. They forgot several things we ordered. The hashbrowns were basically McDonald's hash browns. The ribeye looked the a wobbly piece of bologna, it tasted awful. They forgot my sausages and when I asked for them, they nuked them in the microwave with both ends exploding...it looked like they got it from the side of the road! There were a lot of dirty tables with flies everywhere. We really wanted to like this mom and pop place but it was a major let down. read more

This is a good old country restaurant serving North Carolina specials Come hungry because they serve large portions. My first visit I ordered the special Turkey and dressings which was delicious for lunch Took almost half the serving home for dinner Very reasonable priced and friendly staff. If you are in the area and want to eat were the locals eat. This is the place read more

When I walked in it felt very homey, everybody was super nice and friendly. The menu looks good for some country homemade cooking !! I like that they have desserts too !!! Will definitely be coming back here soon read more

Stopped in for an early lunch. The husband's baked chicken, green beans and potato salad were good. I thought the potato salad was too sweet but, my husband liked it. I had grilled shrimp which were definitely frozen shrimp. They were very bland. My Mac n cheese was good and the potatoes and onions were ok. The staff are very kind and I really felt well taken care of. We would definitely return and try something different. Husband didn't like the peach cobbler. He said it tasted similar to flan. read more

Local decent food if you're 65+ and have no taste buds left but want a cheap meal. Greasy tablecloths, dirty bathrooms, sticky menus gross you out, and servers have no spirit. It's just dead in there. Go the few miles into town and get a good meal!! read more

This place was ok at best. The food wasn't horrible but not good either. Everything was really greasy and gives your tummy a bad feeling after. read more

Diner where locals and old timers enjoy a home cooked meal served with southern hospitality. The outside is plain but with lots of parking which is needed. The servings are big and prices decent. The food is good. Judging by the crowd everything is probably good. We came for breakfast. Drinks came quickly but food took a bit of time. One in our party got his food late and they took it off the check. And apologized. Despite the snafu, The Resturant is busy and we'll run. I don't think our experience is indicative of the service judging by the crowd of local customers at the tables. I would come back read more

Wonderful service, wonderful home cooked meals, love this place having been going for years with the family!

Deserts are great. Would certainly recommend. They are having a hard time, food has a good taste but the deserts are very much homemade.

Food was cold, they took it back and brought it back out a few minutes later and it was still cold. I didn't really enjoy what I ordered. Another customer across from me also had cold food. I wouldn't eat there again. I would give a 1 star but they are really nice and the service was great ! read more
