My fiance and I love Celia's. I have only ever gotten take out but he goes often for lunch with his father. Saturdays are our favorite when they have the steak fajita burrito special. I literally dream about it! Soooo good. read more

Henry and staff are great. I enjoy their service and they have an amazing breakfast. That burrito with salsa is amazing or a country tradition of eggs, grits and corn beef hash. read more

The food is excellent. Cleanliness is always important to me and the place is ver well kept up and cleaned. The service was also excellent. There is not a lot of ambiance, but if you desire good food in a clean environment with great service, this is the place to go We'll be back...soon! read more

Didn't get my extra side of rice and when I got home to eat my meal I opened the box I smelled a sour smell and thought it was just my imagination I started on the rice and gravy and it became overwhelming and tasted horrible just like soured milk couldn't eat it and got sick. I found out that the gravy is where the smell was coming from because some I had on the side in a cup had exploded out the side bubbling and oozing out like some kind of chemical reaction. read more

We've eaten at this restaurant twice while on our way home to Wilmington from the triangle area. Good food and very very kind owners. Recommend! read more

Down home food and atmosphere.. the buffet has a good choice of items with good quality. I eat lunch here when visiting the plant in the area and the biggest problem is not overeating. Wouldn't be my choice for health food or dieting ha read more

We needed to make a quick stop on our road trip, so happy we stopped at Eddie's Cafe out of convenience and the reviews on Yelp. Don't disappoint. , Food was delicious, and plentiful. We ordered shrimp platters , which came with hush puppies, two sides and a tea for $10 a meal. Shrimp was fresh, and cooked to perfection. Hush puppies were great, food only took 10-15 minutes to be prepared, staff was friendly... would DEFINITELY come back. read more

An excellent $10 lunch buffet ... that is certainly popular with the locals. The staff is attentive. The restroom is clean. Plenty of parking. read more

Stopped through this area while on road trip. Easy to access from interstate. Super friendly staff. We ordered the seafood buffet and a barbecue small plate. Then came back second time through. Could not have friendlier staff. Come for the food which is very inexpensive and then come back for the people. So take a five minute drive of the interstate and try something local. read more

Eddie's Cafe is a nice stop while in Newton Grove, NC. The BBQ is good and they have a very friendly staff. We opted for the lunch buffet during our visit. We tried the chicken pastry, fried chicken, bbq, fried fatback, cole slaw, and hush puppies. It was all good and a really fair value at $9 a person. read more

High hopes for this place. A lot of food - great prices. Lacked flavor in the flounder and the BBQ pork :( cold slaw good but plain. Hush puppies tasted like donuts! Not very corn meal- ish. Canned green beans. Fried chicken was good!! Stick with the chicken. read more

I love Yelp! It led me to this gem. I went to the Carolina Nutcracker for pecans and looked on Yelp for a lunch spot. I got the BBQ tray for $5.50. bbq, slaw and freshly cooked hush puppies. It hit the spot! They also had a very nice looking buffet with vegetables that looked good. I had trouble deciding so I will need to come back. The service was very good. A nice, friendly, locally run place. You know when there are lots of trucks in the parking lot, it's gotta be good. I highly recommend it! read more

We stopped at Eddie's while we were visiting the Bentonville battlefield site. What a great spot for lunch! We had the lunch buffet, and everything on it was great: Carolina barbecue, two kinds of fish, fried chicken, bbq ribs, chitlins, two kinds of potatoes, and several dessert choices. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was friendly and very attentive, and the price was right! Highly recommended. read more

It was great !! Had Oysters, Shrimp, slaw and black eyed peas great food great tea and service. Do yourself a favor stop in and try it

Stopped in while driving thru town on a trip. Good southern food along with good southern hospitality. I had the buffet and enjoyed every bite. Hush puppies were crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. I would definitely come back... thank you to the nice lady who works there read more

Good lord. I moved to the meadow area just over 6 months ago. I have driven by this spot several times seeing how I shop at food lion right close to here for my groceries. How. I mean how have I not stop here yet. I guess because I'm not a huge everyday bbq person. But finally decided to stop in. And I will say this. First and foremost they have hands down the best fried okra. Then to top it off they had chicken pasty on the buffet. On this freezing cold day. It hit the spot. Cleaned my plate. Everyone raves about the meadow restaurant. They can't get close to this place. And it's so close to home. read more

This place is fantastic. The prices are great and the food is delicious! Very friendly service. They will bring you a pitcher of sweet tea to the table for refills. The fried oysters are a bit salty but very tasty. Sweet potato fries are a must try. read more

Off the highway down home cooking. Simple menu, the okra was fantastic. They are a cash only place, no atm on premises. They don't serve breakfast past 11 read more

Great southern bbq, loved having their homemade banana pudding and fried chicken. Food tasted homemade and service made me feel right at home. My eyes were bigger than my stomach I spent $20 and probably could spread the food out for two days. read more

Eddie's has been a mainstay in Newton Grove for as long as I can remember (and I'm 45). The owners are amazing people and the service is great. If you're eating from the buffet, there are lots of choices and EVERYTHING on the buffet and menu is fantastic! True southern food, BBQ, and seafood at it's finest. My favorite is the boiled shrimp with butter, slaw and french fries. I grew up there, but no longer live there. The only downside for me is that they're not open on weekends anymore, so it's rare that I have the chance to make it there, but if I'm there on a weekday or night, I ALWAYS make it to Eddie's. read more

Quick stop for lunch - Had the lunch buffet - everything was delicious - BBQ Pork reminded me why I always like NC eats. Had a few too many Hush puppies - Time to walk it off at the Bentonville Battlefield. read more

Absolutely excellent food and service especially for a small town. Restaurant is very clean and food is always fresh. The small parking lot can be hard to navigate but there is plenty of road side parking available as well. One of the only places around to offer a salad bar and buffet meals. Phenomenal quality food and a great value. read more

Eddie's has the best fried chicken around!...we travel from DC to Burgaw, NC frequently, and always stop for fried chicken plus a side of livers and gizzards to bring to the family gatherings...always a hit! read more

Excellent! Stopped on our way to the beach. BBQ plate is very good. A hole in the wall that was well worth the stop. Kid friendly.

I created an account just to give this place 5 stars. I'll leave Wilmington hungry. Best buffet food I've ever had.

We stopped here based on the Yelp rating. We were not disappointed. Great food at most reasonable prices! Had a burger, bbq sandwich, fries, onion rings and hush puppies. All very good. We have found the most unique places like this when traveling (non-chains) by using Yelp. read more

I'm not a huge fan of BBQ, but didn't want fast food either. So I came for the chicken and stayed for the wonderful desserts! Home made original recipes! Loved it! read more

Delicious eastern style bbq. Cheap, quick and friendly. Everything that's good about small town bbq.

Very good local establishment. They are open Monday through Friday and have a lunch buffet every day. They always have specials at night. The barbecue here is always tender and juicy! Very family-friendly atmosphere and a great staff. read more

Great small town place. Lots of regulars. Although the place is short on aesthetics, it's long on taste. Killer pulled pork.

I've been coming here since I was a little girl. I love this place and their southern cooking. Hamburger steak is always my go to.

Everything is very good and there's a lot of it! A regular stop to and from Fla.

Great wait staff, friendly folks. Hickory smoked NC eastern style BBQ with great side dishes and hush puppies to die for. Would highly recommend - a small town gem and fairly close to I-40. read more

A great place! We stopped here after taking the driving tour of Bentonville Battlefield. The tasty food and friendly waitress at Eddie's helped make our day trip a great one. First time I've ever had chitterlings. Not bad! read more

Excellent food and service. Friendly atmosphere. Very very good. If you roll through here, you better stop and eat here!

Worst barbecue in Wayne County. Seafood can be good if they would put enough on the buffet. If you like shrimp you will make several trips to a empty pan. read more
