So the family came to see our youngest daughter In Elizabeth City. If you have never been to…read moreElizabeth City I can tell you that there is not a lot there but there is this spot called the Mills Downtown Bistro. We visited this eclectic, intimate little spot on a Friday night. We got there just in time to get a table. This place is small, it seats maybe 60 people. It has that homey, country feeling with old style tin ceiling tiles. I felt like we were in a small tavern restaurant in the French countryside. By the look of this little store front restaurant you would think the menu would be the usual bar food. How surprised I was to see a fine dining menu. I order the sweet potato risotto with white wine and rabbit sausage. Let me tell you. This was farm to table fresh. The risotto was a little stiff for me but the sausage made up for it. Savory with a hint of spice on the finish made this sausage melt in your mouth good. My daughter ordered the apple crepe (If you like crepes they have savory and sweet) it was excellent other than the apples weren't peeled so the texture was a little off putting. But I still give them five stars for serving fine french style dining in downtown Elizabeth City!

The only positive thing was the people were working hard- 1 server and 1 cook. They do not offer…read morewhat is advertised on the menu. No steak, no seafood. This was the worst meal we have ever had. A McDonald's hamburger is much better than the burger that we were served. We came from out of town looking forward to the whole dining experience based on the wonderful reviews and it was a massive disappointment all around. The salad was small, missing key ingredients advertised on the menu, chicken portion meager and dry, salad dressing tasted terrible. Even the special seasonal tea was not good. A waste of time and money. Left hungry and wishing we went to a fast food drive- thru instead.

OMG! Their sandwiches are incredible! I've had the French dip, the Reuben, and their Lobster Roll…read more Nice folks, fast service, and even better if you call ahead. They are popular, and are only open until 4pm, so sometimes you may see people waiting. Heck! Everything is prepared to order, so a little time waiting when crowded is no biggie.

In & Out Cafe, owned/operated by Erin & Josh, was a great find for us. The food is smashing…read moredelicious, fresh, and prepared/served in just a few minutes. THE BEST CAFE/CASUAL RESTAURANT IN TOWN! Very friendly owners & staff and a clean spacious, and comfortable dining area inside. We had a fantastic lunch and then some takeout hand pies (apple, peach & blueberry) just like they were out of the bakery! The lobster rolls and Rueben sandwich platter were exceptionally delicious and reasonable priced for four of us. We're all going back tomorrow to try something different. Everything on the menu was available and freshly prepared. Josh & Erin's In & Out Cafe was a special treat with outstanding food and service! PLEASE DON'T MISS THIS CAFE IF YOU ENJOY GREAT FOOD! B.

Staff, 11/10. Friendliest most attentive people I've ever met. Shout out Brady, Jordan and Larry…read more Thank you for being so lovely. PATRONS (9-10pm) 2/10. The absolute rudest, entitled, oblivious and demanding people I've ever seen. (Aka the just turned 21 crowd). For people looking for a more "already know bar rules" definitely go around 11:30. Still 5/5 stars. Can't beat how amazing the staff was. Updated menu w/prices in pictures.

We had our little dog in tow who had not eaten his breakfast so we were all pretty hungry! I ordered the grilled chicken bbq sandwich which was wonderful! My husband ordered the Philly cheesesteak on salad. We ordered a fried egg with cheese for our dog. She threw in some beef for the dog, he is now snoring in the back of the car! My husband said the salad was fresh and delicious and cheesesteak was excellent! All round a great place to stop. If ur in a rush u can order online so it's ready when u arrive. There's a cute little seating area outside for dogs and kids to stretch their legs!

The fries were crispy and had an addicting seasoning that kept us coming back for more. Would absolutely make a point to eat here the next time we are passing through.

Food is always amazing, staff have had the same faces for as long as I can remember…read more We stop by here and there when we are busy while in town. We always get the same order, well I do at least because I absolutely love their chicken salad, I always ask for extra. I do love their fries over their sweet potato fries. I just feel like their sweet potato fries could be crispier. Their grilled cheese, burgers, salads, and everything else we have tried have been good. I can't remember a bad meal here. Service is good but they are busy, so sometimes I feel like staff can be short. Our server was a young gentlemen this time and he was very kind, thorough, and checked in on us the appropriate amount of times. The establishment itself is very farmhouse pub vibes, they offer single room bathrooms for men and women and they're always clean. They also have outdoor seating for those nice warmer days. This place stays packed for a reason.

We were lucky and got a table for 10 super quickly and it's located on the corner not too far from…read morethe river. Service was fine but waitress kept calling us "sweetheart" and "sweetie pie" and "honey" which got super annoying after the first 10 times. The coconut shrimp was okay. I don't think I'd order again. A bit too crispy. The chicken salad and fries were really good. The chicken and waffles were chicken strips, not a breast, not what you'd expect in the south. Also, the chicken and waffles didn't come out until the rest of the table was almost done eating. Honestly a waffle and chicken fingers should not take that long to cook. The place was cute but overall just okay. I'd try again but I wouldn't say rush tomorrow. 3.8/5

Price point was about $16 for a burger and fries without a drink. We ordered the regular cheeseburger, the Cowboy (bacon, BBQ sauce, and American cheese), the Cobra Kai (cream cheese, pickled jalapeños, and jalapeño jelly), and the Classic Jack (caramelized onions, JB sauce, and dill pickles). Everything tasted solid and came out hot. The restaurant itself is very small and does not seem ideal for larger groups. Despite this, I loved the ambiance, it has a dive bar vibe with lots of notes on dollar bills on the walls that were fun to read. I will be coming back again when in the area! A special shoutout to the waitress with the bridge piercing. She was friendly, accommodating, and quick with service, which really stood out.
