    Can't go wrong with chicken gizzards and hush puppies
    Joel K.

    One of the many reasons why I love the south especially going into the deep country is finding small cozy country cooking places that know how to cook great comfort food fresh and at a very very affordable price... I will come back here again next time I'm in town

    This is absolutely the most overrated s&@thole I've been to. Almost $40 for three pretty bad meals.

    Oysters at the bar are the best in town. They have a friendly staff and a good beer selection.

    I visited the Vernon Ave location on May 8th at which time I ordered a fish (trout) and barbecue…read morecombo for $19.20. When I received my order the plate was so light I thought they handed me the wrong order. I looked at the plate and there was this thin hard cooked half fish and a little bit of barbecue in a very small styrofoam container. There was also 4 overcooked hush puppies and a dab of potato salad and green beans. I'll admit it's been a long while since I've been there but I am familiar with their fish and barbecue plates because I use to get them for my mother atleast 2x a month on Fridays. The lady at the drive through was very nice when I commented about the plate and she took it and told me to drive up. As I sat in the car I thought if this is the quality of food they are serving nowadays it's not going to get better so I went in the resturant and requested a refund. The man who prepared my plate wanted to know what was wrong with it. I told him the amount of food and quality of the food was not pleasing. When I said it looked like a toddler plate with a dab of barbecue and fish on it he said that's the size of a combo plate. I told him that I beg the difference because I use to order this plate for my mother and he then said, I've been here for 13 years and it's been this way. I told him to give me my money back because we are not going to agree on this one. My point is the same plate use to cost $12.99 atleast 7 years ago, however; I expected a price increase because that's the world we live in now. What I didn't expect was such a poor quantity and quality of food. Had the plate been of the same quantity and quality it use to be nothing would have been said. I was given a refund without any issues. Resturants really need to rethink their approach to the pressures of rising prices because if you think it is okay to jack up prices and pass on garbage to customers you're in trouble. I did what I should have done in the first place I went home and cooked my salmon. Bye Kings!

    My wife and I visited Chef & the Farmer in Kinston to celebrate my birthday, and it turned out to…read morebe one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had in years. We were delighted to be personally greeted by none other than Vivian Howard -- James Beard Award-winning chef, restaurateur, television personality, and author. It was our first visit since Chef Vivian reimagined the restaurant into its current format: an intimate, chef-driven dining concept she calls "Chef New," inspired by one of her favorite restaurants, Chez Nous in Charleston, where a compact menu of six rotating daily selections keeps the focus squarely on quality and creativity. Chef Vivian herself seated us, and from that moment, the warmth and intentionality of the experience never let up. We were fortunate to be seated directly in front of the open kitchen, where we had the pleasure of meeting Chef Hope and watching the culinary team work with quiet precision. Every member of the staff -- from our server to the pastry and salad chef -- contributed to an atmosphere that felt both refined and genuinely welcoming. The prix-fixe menu, which rotates weekly, offered a wonderful range of choices. We opened with a starter of soft-shell crabs -- caught just two hours prior -- served with charred scallion mayo and a bright corn relish. The dish was extraordinary: delicate, fresh, and perfectly executed. My wife's Brussels sprouts, tossed with spiced peanuts and goat cheese and finished with a honey vinaigrette, were equally impressive. A generous pour of Sorgente Prosecco made it all the better. For our mains, I chose the flank steak, accompanied by asparagus with green butter and a silky root vegetable purée. My wife opted for the house-made tagliatelle in a shrimp scampi that she couldn't stop talking about. Both dishes were beautifully presented and thoughtfully composed, reflecting the restaurant's deep commitment to farm-to-table sourcing and local ingredients. The meal concluded with fantastic desserts and continued conversation with the staff, who were as knowledgeable as they were passionate. Throughout the evening, there was an evident attention to detail in every element -- from the food preparation to the way each dish was explained and presented. This is the kind of dining experience that reminds you why food matters. We will absolutely be back.

    Everything was delicious! However, she decided to close and the restaurant is no longer open…read more I'll miss eating there for lunch!
