    I showed up for a late lunch today and decided to order the grilled shrimp salad. I asked if their dressings were homemade and she said no. So, I ordered a balsamic vinegaraitte and ranch. She literally brings me our two bottles from the grocery store and sits them on my table. Not in a ramekin, or anything. The bottles. I was shocked. The ranch didn't even have a label. The salad took almost 15 minutes and not one other table was there. It came in iceberg lettuce, with the most pungent onions I ever had and a ton of their delicious homemade croutons. Shrimp was plentiful for the price. The salad wasn't terrible and the server was friendly (just really slow). I was ready to pay my bill and instead of her giving to me she cleaned the plate and probably washed it before coming back. I still think this place is a pretty boil little place- but the biggest thing was that the TV was really loud on Fox News which is not something that I want to listen to in general and especially when I am eating.

    Tonight was my first time at the diner. Tonight was also A.Y.C.E Crab Night. I sat at the bar and was greeted by the bartender (Ali) and another waitress (Noreen) within minutes of sitting down. I ordered a drink and the food started coming out instantaneously. Hush puppies, coleslaw, and crab...well worth the price. P.S- I really love the wooden clock/wine holder (wink wink)

My wife had the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich and steak fries which was delicious. My son had a hamburger cooked the way he liked it and fried and he enjoyed it. If that was all they had, it would've been great, but this is where I start talking about the fried mushrooms. Honestly, we were not ready for how awesome those fried mushrooms were. They were delicious and they were well cooked. They were perfectly crispy and the sauce was delicious. They should really talk more about those in their menu because that was the key note to this entire meal. I haven't seen fried mushrooms that big. They were absolutely delicious. We got this as a takeout and they were amazing, so I can only imagine what they were like. If we would've got them served to us hot and fresh from the kitchen. The restaurant was nice very well equipped, and everything was very clean. The servers and waitresses were very friendly and definitely made the visit. Very fun. I highly recommend this place and when we come again, we're going to realize that their meals are so generously portion. We probably could've ordered half of what we had and still ate like royalty.

I asked our very helpful and sweet server Jersey if she had only 2 choices with one being chicken fried chicken or the daily special Taco Salad, which would she go with and she said the taco salad. So, that's what I ordered. It was very tasty, loaded with 2 types of cheese a side of Jalapeño (which I gave to hubby) alot of fresh tomatoes and lettuce, a side of salsa and sour cream served in a somewhat crispy tortilla shell. And the shell is the only reason for a 4 star vs 5, the shell wasn't as light and crispy as I like it. It tasted as if they fried it several hours ago and honestly, I get why they did it that way as it saves time but the shell just left me disappointed. Hubby ordered a patty melt with fries. We came into town to scope out the Jacksonville Landing for future bass fishing mornings and when I told him we were stopping in here for lunch he already knew he was having the melt. I mean, he thought about it for 90 minutes lol. I've had their melts before and it is yummy. I think though the fries were the star on his plate. They were crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside and topped with something akin to Old Bay Seasoning. And they were HOT! Y'all, i mean, they're only fries but rhey were PERFECT! I am seriously alreasy looking forward to our 1st fishing adventure just so we can have lunch at the Kettle once we've caught all the bass. Jersey was quite attentive, but not hovering and warm friendly like only you'll find in the south. Oh, bestie told me to get the chocolate torte because she said, literally, "it's life altering." However, I forgot to so, just another thing for me to enjoy after our initial fishing trip. In some ways, you can go home again.

The best part about those outreach clinics was lunch with the school nurses. It's how I found all the locals places. Yana's was our Swansboro go to and despite moving away in 2011 and just now going back, the food was just as delicious today as it was then. And everyone who has dined repeatedly at a favorite place knows things rarely stay (or taste) the same. Bestie & hit Yana's shortly after 11 this beautiful Saturday morning and even though there were 4 parties ahead of us, we barely waited 15 minutes. I've had alot of the items on the menu during those outreaches (and with family) and never had anything I didn't enjoy but today, I went with breakfast of a western omelet (minus the sausage & tomato) with hashbrowns (home fries) and toast. My omelet had fresh green peppers, perfectly cooked, griddle bacon and cheesy cheese. I just wanted to keep eating but I was getting full. Bestie & I also had a combination order of banana & apple fritters. My food was just as I remembered-DEEEEELICIOUS! And our fritters just makes me want to go back in a few days to see if they have strawberries in supply. Honestly, I would drive from our new home in Richlands down to S'boro every weekend if hubby would let me lol. If you decide to dine here & are put off by the wait, don't be. Get on the wait list & do a little shopping. You won't regret it. Ps, omelet didn't last long enough for a pic!

We were here around 9:30 on a Saturday and waited about 40 minutes, but that flew by because we were able to go sit in their coffee/mimosa bar area and wait to be paged. The vibes in both spaces are pretty classic beach diner. It's a relaxed but busy atmosphere. Our waiter was super attentive and kind and we didn't feel rushed despite how busy they were. I had the Land and Sea Benedict, which comes on a giant biscuit and has fried green tomatoes, eggs done your way, shrimp, Cajun gravy, and bacon crumbles. I am particular about biscuits and this one was excellent (soft without being doughy, appropriately crumbly without falling apart). The tomatoes were super crispy without being overly greasy. My over-easy eggs were perfect, as were the shrimp, and the gravy was excellent. The grits I had with it really lived up to their reputation of being smooth and creamy, with no need for butter. My mom had the "Kitchen Sink" omelet, and very much enjoyed it. The ingredients were fresh and nothing was over or under done, which can be hard with such a variety of ingredients. The home fries that came with it were terrifically crispy. I also appreciate that they make their own hot sauce, as well as the mix for their Bloody Mary (which my mom also loved) I enjoyed my peach mimosa and got a kick out of all of the different flavor options. I'd love to explore their lunch menu too. I'll definitely frequent again next time I'm out this way!
