If this is your first visit, you place your order at the counter and grab a seat. They'll bring your freshly prepared order directly to your table. I have been craving fried soft shell crab for weeks and finally had the opportunity to enjoy some! If you don't appreciate them, you don't know what you're missing! I decided to add the premium side Crab Tots ($1.99 when added to the meal). I'd never had them before and will definitely order them again! All of my meal items were served fresh and hot!! Everyone in our group cleaned their plates, so you know the quality and quantity of the food was outstanding! On my way out, I spotted the owner Trey sitting at a booth enjoying his lunch. I didn't want to disturb him, so I offered my compliments to the cashier. As I was telling them how much we appreciated the exceptional food and service, Trey got up from his meal and walked over to thank me for coming in. He is a true gentleman and wonderful servant of our community! If you haven't already given them a try, drop by the Front Street Fish Co for lunch or dinner. Also check out the fresh fish in their market next door!! You won't be disappointed!

My sister and I had lunch here and I added on the clam chowder because I can never not get the…read morechowder when I see it on the menu. I have to say, this "chowder" was the worst I've ever had and it's not even close. It tasted, and looked, straight out of a Campbell's soup can. It had hardly no clams and maybe two tiny potato bits. The base tasted just like cream of chicken soup and it was the same consistancy. I even checked with the girl at the front counter to make sure I got the right soup because it was not even close to being a chowder. Even though I didn't like the soup, no one offered to reimburse me for it. All of the other food was ok with the fried shrimp being the best. The whiting and okra both tasted a little like they were fried in old grease.

Sake Hibachi Sushi & Bar is a pleasant surprise and has quickly become one of my go-to spots in New…read moreBern. If you've driven by and wondered about it, don't let the building fool you--it occupies the former Golden Corral, so the restaurant is huge. There's plenty of seating, making it a great option whether you're dining with a couple of people or a large group. The standout for me is the seafood boil. The combo options are absolutely on point, with generous portions, perfectly cooked seafood, and seasoning that brings everything together without overpowering the natural flavors. It's one of the better seafood boils I've had in eastern North Carolina. The sushi is equally impressive. Everything tasted fresh, was beautifully prepared, and offered a nice variety of traditional rolls and specialty creations. It's not often you find a place that does both seafood boils and sushi this well. The service was friendly and attentive, and despite the size of the restaurant, the food came out promptly. Whether you're in the mood for hibachi, sushi, or a seafood feast, Sake Hibachi Sushi & Bar delivers. It's a great addition to the New Bern dining scene, and I'll definitely be back.

I could TELL the food was fresh, we got there maybe an hour or so into their lunch, that's when we saw a party of 2, party of 8, we could tell it was a good spot.

Im nosy, however...I noticed from the communication with the sushi bar/our waitress and the cook/our waitress having our food out ASAP, I will definitely be letting everyone know 'I went ahead and tried it' and it's good with me.

All 3 of us enjoyed what we ordered and it came out hot and fresh. The fish and chips were delicious, the burger was cooked perfectly and my chicken gyro was really good with fresh veggies and great crinkle fries on the side, the chicken was also marinated well. It's super casual inside, with local artwork for sale on the walls. Local hangout with a nice little bar . Parking can be tricky, but you can find some around the building. There are not many places to eat in Oriental so I'm glad this one has gotten so much better!

My goodness! What to say about this surprising gem. We're planning to move to the area and decided…read moreto find somewhere to eat downtown. When we drove by, we weren't sure what to expect. There's a large screened in porch for those who want outside dining without the bugs. There's counter service and plenty of seating, including a back dining room. The furniture is a bit dated and worn, but the food more than makes up for any aesthetics. My fish was buttery and fried to perfection. The breading was well-seasoned, and the tartar was creamy. The Cajun grill platter was huge and flavorful. The tuna came out a perfect medium, and the shrimp were the star. My man finished his plate in 7 minutes while raving about the remoulade. Our server was wonderful, and we'll definitely be back!

I will not be eating anywhere else but here for dinner, since that's the only time they are open. So onto the review. Tuesday April. 7, 2026 is 94 cent oyster night. I had 2 dozen raw at that price. They were good, but I'm an oyster snob so they were not exceptional. Not the restaurants fault at all. I've had amazing and it's hard to find that especially at that price point. Onto dinner. My wife got the seafood risotto. Dear lord it was good!! I got in addition to my 24 raw oysters the oyster stuffed with lava filled crab. Hot to the touch but worth the scalding tongue. For the entree I had the fillet mignon. Yes as a Kentuckian I realized that teeth were not needed for this at all . The steak was medium rare with perfection throughout. Asparagus and mashed taters were good but didn't compare. As a bonus we got the slaw and special potatoes (red russets cut thinly ) as a thanks for ordering. Terrific potatoes and ehhh on the slaw. We finished with the banana pudding cake for dessert and oh my goodness was that a nice closer. Yes we did have two pitchers of yuengling beer which were a nice touch. We will go back tomorrow and again Thursday before departure. If you read a negative review it MUST be a local who wants a place that isn't full of people because this is a gem! We got here at 4:40 to be the first in at 5 pm

It was a very busy Friday night and I think that they were overwhelmed. Would I eat there again? No.
