This place isn't very big but it is just cozy and comfortable right when you walk in! The owners are just charming and southern hospitality is sure next level here! The owner makes the best frosted cinnamon rolls I have ever had! We had biscuits and gravy and the best Swiss cheese mushroom omelette! Everything was homemade and served with friendly conversation! We left there feeling like we made new friends! Stop and have a home cooked meal... wish I didn't live so far away.

Even so, I enjoyed a tasty plate of collards right here at the beginning of July on Friday. I did doctor them up with a generous application of Texas Pete...vinegar + heat. Makes perfect sense if you like it spicy! The plate also had potato salad and ham, with 2 expertly made 1/2 & 1/2 iced teas. If you like collards and you like potato salad and you like ham...then get your rear in gear on some Friday and order up a plate of southern soul food at its best! Did I mention the hush puppies? No? It's cause I ate them all! Don't even need butter! I'm no fan of the corn sticks tho, but I don't like those from anywhere. Can't wait for the first frost later this year! King Chicken offers down home old school friendly no frills service, and while it's not an eat-in restaurant, I don't mind snagging a plate and heading back to the house to give thanks and partake.

Stopped by around dinner time and they were out of nearly everything we ordered. On our way back…read morefrom the beach, we were looking for a place to eat dinner. We searched Apple Maps for nearby restaurants and found Champs. When we arrived we were surprised to see that it was part of a gas station. This was fine and we parked and walked inside. A few other customers were waiting for their order. We chose what we wanted and placed the order on the kiosk. I love ordering kiosks as it is easy to view the menu and place the order. You don't pay at the kiosk, but at the cashier. After waiting a while, the employee behind the display case informed us that they were out of most of what we ordered. We had noticed the empty spaces in the display case, but expected they would be refilled. We were open to alternatives, but there wasn't enough to choose from. This was surprising as we arrived around 6 pm and they close at 7 pm. I guess go earlier if you want to eat here. We decided to pass on the food and ate at Bojangles. Luckily we hadn't paid yet. This may be a reasonable place to eat if you also need gas and/or convenience store items. I can't speak on the taste or quality of the food. The gas station is easy to locate and has ample parking.

Wine and beer, pasta, sauces, teas, jams, glassware, olives, crackers, cheese, chocolate.......a foodies dream. After about 25 minutes we were sat. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and ready to work. She was busy with inside and outside tables. We started with the whipped goat cheese and fig jam. Delicious!! They now sell it To Go in the store part. I got the Hot Honey BLT and my friend got the House Grilled Cheese Panini. We both got house salads. Loved that the house salad came with feta cheese. Yes, please. Both sandwiches were good but I really liked the Hot Honey BLT. The Grilled cheese panini was lacking something. I would definitely go back and would recommend.....especially to my foodie friends. Oh....they also have a brunch menu and a kids menu. And it looks like the online menu on the website is not up to date as of October 2026.

When we arrived on a Saturday morning in mid September, they estimated an hour wait. It ended up being 30 min since we said we'd take whatever is first available. They have seating in the back with shade while you wait for the buzzer. They ended up seating us in front of the restaurant outdoors on high tops. We didn't mind, but we definitely shuffled chairs to find a comfy high top since they vary. It was a windy morning, so it was hard to keep things from flying away! We ordered the South of the border omelette and western omelette, both with home fries. They both were so flavorful! The home fries had onions, bell peppers, and some seasoning. It was great! We also ordered half an order of French toast, but felt indifferent. The service was great and quick! We will return in future trips.

Title: A Contender for the Crown: Mom's Grill is a Must-Try!…read moreRating: Living in Washington, you learn pretty quickly that we take our burgers seriously. After my latest visit to Mom's Grill, I can confidently say the local leaderboard has been shaken up! I ordered the Original Cheeseburger "All the Way" (chili, onions, and mustard), and it was an absolute knockout. Here is the breakdown: The Burger Breakdown * The Patty: The first thing you'll notice is the size. The beef portion here is substantial--it's noticeably larger and heartier than the patties at Dairy Palace or King Chicken. * The Build: They've mastered the "Meat-to-Bun" ratio. Even with the chili and mustard, the bun holds up, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. It's a messy, delicious, classic NC burger. * The Verdict: This is easily the best burger I've had in a long time. It's simple, nostalgic, and incredibly satisfying. My Official Washington, NC Burger Rankings: * La Vaquita Mexican Grill: Still the reigning champ. These are the "supermodels" of burgers--huge, juicy, and incredibly photogenic. * Mom's Grill: A very close runner-up. If you want that classic, hometown cheeseburger flavor with a superior meat portion, this is the spot. * King Chicken: The perfect "hand-sized" burger. It's a total throwback to the old-school drive-in days. * Dairy Palace: A timeless local staple. It's a great burger, though I personally think both DP and King Chicken could reach that next level if they upgraded their beef patties to match the quality of Mom's or La Vaquita. Pro Tip: If you're a fan of a heavy meat portion and classic toppings, don't sleep on Mom's Grill. It's officially in my Top 5!

Did I mention the iced tea? Always on point, plentiful and icy cold! The service is superb and to me, the restaurant feels a bit like being back in the atmosphere my grandma's kitchen.

I got the 2 chicken, bbq plate with baked beans and macaroni salad which both came straight from a can and the macaroni salad was definitely from the local grocery store . I believe only the chicken and fish are made from this place , everything else is not homemade. The service in Plymouth is always not the greatest, they act as if they are so annoyed with everyone for it to be a small town place, we ordered through the drive through so didn't sit down but I'm sure I would have been annoyed getting any service from them. My husband did enjoy his fish plate but he don't know any better since he doesn't eat soul food often lol
