Gotta love great food and a quiet atmosphere. I felt like I was home at mama's with a twist of elegance.

Fresh food, prompt service, and a nice change from the usual We missed an exit and found this place by chance while traveling south on 95.

Mayflower Seafood and Chicken

If you're from Wilson County, you already know--Mayflower Seafood is the spot. Every time I come…read moreback home to visit, it's at the top of my list. This place isn't just a restaurant, it's a tradition. One of the waitresses (Ms. Marie!) has been there for at lea 25 years, and she truly makes the experience special. She's warm, welcoming, and makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. And of course, the food never disappoints. Everything is consistently delicious, perfectly seasoned, and the portions are just right--not too much, not too little. It's the kind of meal you look forward to and leaves you satisfied every time. Mayflower isn't just a place to eat--it's a staple of the community and a must-visit whenever you're in town.

I love this place. I am pescatarian so TBH, this is a slice of heaven to me in meat-heavy Wilson…read more I always get the broiled fish unless I'm feeling skinny, which isn't often. "Salad, no bacon." I now tell them to hold the side of clarified butter because I don't need to eat a couple little tub of melted butter. They give you so much. My go-to is any broiled seafood item, baked potato, side salad no bacon. Their dressings are fantastic (taste like Ken's) and their salads are ample. I've tried their bloomin onion knock-off and we like it better than Outback. I don't order it often; y'all know why by now. I'm fluffy and don't need more fluff. I only order if I haven't weighed myself that day. A Mayflower dinner is always two meals for me. It is a great value. The A#1 best server there (and anywhere in Wilson) is CHANNING. Ask for him; you won't be sorry. He is a kind and attentive server and a southern gentlemen. The ambiance is warm and inviting. It's a great place for large groups or a quiet dinner for 2. This place has a great family feel, quick service, a reliable kitchen, and wonderful staff. That's a 5-star review for me!

This was our first time experiencing Daniel's Casual Fine Dining. I really like the ambiance…read moreinside, great place for a date night or a special family occasion. Our server was quite nice and was able to answer our menu questions. Our meal began with the soup of the day, Chicken Tortilla Soup. It was quite tasty, full of veggies that you would find in a pico de gallo nestled in a rich tomato broth, topped with crispy tortilla strips and served in a very small 8oz cup. What was missing was the chicken... I think I encountered one very small cube of chicken in one of those bites. My husband had the bowl size and echoed the same sentiment. For entre, I ordered the Blue Cheese and Apple Salad and made it a meal with the delicately fried oysters. The portions were great for a meal, but I expected more diversity in the salad greens. I received a mound of spinach that would make Popeye extremely happy. I would have loved some crispy romaine to vary the density of the spinach. However, the house dressing and candied walnuts added a great touch. My husband ordered the Cajun Chicken Pasta which I sampled. I loved the sausage and the complexity of flavors for this dish. My son had the crab cakes which were also greatly portioned. He said that the cakes were very good, but for the premium prices he'd expected more crab and less filler. Nevertheless, he still cleaned his plate. Overall, we had a pleasant evening, but for what you pay for a meal, I expected a little bit more.

Really good food has a home like cooking and seasoning…read more Price is very reasonable People are very friendly and always smiling and very good service Only open on Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 to 6:00 pm Has dining in and drive through

DISCLAIMER : I literally helped build the place…read more Food: This is my go to every Sunday after church. One reason is because I truly believe in supporting local businesses. The owners are both Cancer Survivors and local clergy. When it comes to a nice southern meal on a Sunday you can bet that they will get the job done. They have TURKEY BBQ, let's me honey we all need to eat a little bit healthier. This restaurant gives you the chance to eat good and live longer. My only complaint is that sometimes items will run out. In time I believe they will have a system to eke it's that or the communist will come in and support stronger so they that will have to urgency to cook more. Atmosphere : Jazz Music, Praise and Worship, Holiday tunes galore. This place is a nice, chill low key, quite place to enjoy your meal without the burden of being overcrowded or uncomfortable. Adding a little more color and personality on the inside and outside will make this place a staple and will show the to compete with the bbq giants of Eastern NC. Service : When they first opened I will admit the wait time to actually have your food was not impressive. Since then, they have a new system and have been getting orders out in a hurry. They are always attentive to FREE refills and depending on how nice you smile they might even throw in a couple of extra hushpuppies. The best service in Wilson County by far. There team makes you feel right at home Cleanliness : The restaurant is the cleanest in the 252 when compared to other bbq spots. Last I checked they were at 98. There are two big name bbq spots in Wilson and neither of them have above and 88 score so let that sink in. All in all if you love to support local and starter business then throw your support behind this one! Mcdonald and Bojangles have had enough of your dollars now it's time to invest back into the community! EAT AT BOOGIES

Wanted a burger, that wasn't from BK or McDonald's. Driving around, we saw this location and…read moredecided to give it a try. I have had it in Raleigh but hadn't noticed there was a location in Wilson. The closed at 9pm and I walked in around 8:30pm. Very well lit location. There was no wait and the staff were completing the closing actions. However, they were still welcoming and did not make it seem like I was a burden coming in this late. They took my order and answered any questions I had about the burgers. As they were cleaning, I decided that I would stay near the door to stay out of the way. When I say they were taking their time to clean - it was refreshing to know they take keeping a clean location for their customers to enjoy their food. It took about 20 mins to get my order complete (noted there was 4 burgers that needed to be prepared - so I wasn't upset at all) - meaning the food would be FRESH! All burgers were fresh with good flavor! It felt like you were eating something made with care. Everyone enjoyed their food and will definitely be back for more.

This place isn't bad but, I do caution you if you are a vegetarian, be very careful about ordering…read morefood from here. I went in and was very clear about the burger. I wanted, also please keep it away from the grease from the other burgers as I will be in the bathroom all afternoon. Very specific detail in my request for the burger. My order was acknowledged, accepted, and pushed through. There is only me and one other customer in there, and then they were making orders for pick up from whatever food app was in play. I'm having a conversation with a person who was gonna be running the grill and I believe he was the guy in charge and we were talking about burgers and asked you what I ordered, I told him that he went to look at their receipts that were there as he didn't recall seeing anything like that come across. He picked my receipt and came back and told me, I'm glad we talked because that is not at all what's on this order. What's on this order is a regular hamburger with no onions and the other things that I said. So the guy taking my order would it end up getting me a big fatty, which means I would've been redecorating the bathroom for a while. The guy took real good care to cook my burger away from any animal fat and was phenomenal on the way that he recovered that issue. Just a word of caution, they are not likely to cook your impossible burger away from the fat, you have to go in and place your order in person and be very specific with them. If there's a young high school looking guy taking your order, double check with it before he pushed it through because he he may give you a very unpleasant experience.
