He ordered the "Gemelli" sandwich on Semolina bread a with an order of fries. The othershad a Meatball sub and a Modica sandwich. The food was served quickly and was delicious! The sandwich was HUGE and piled high with different meats, cheese, lettuce and tomato! The fries were hot, crispy and perfectly salted! Since he could only eat 1/2 of my sandwich (I'm 6'2" and 245lbs...) he brought the delicious leftovers to me! His friends enjoyed their sandwiches as well! We highly recommend Gemelli's!

They're adjoined with the Tryon Palace visitor center right there in downtown New Bern, so likely they're convenient for you. They have a decent, slightly obstructed view of the water but you can walk about 50 feet and be right on it. There is a large private parking lot, so no worries on that either. In general, the sandwiches there are darn good, and the few sides we tried (dill potato salad, and their pasta salad) were excellent. My reuben on marbled rye was straight up delicious, and you order yours based on how much meat you want on it. They use Boar's Head meats here, which while I think sometimes that is overblown, you can count on that level of quality. The thing though is this, it's gonna be a pricey lunch. They are full service, so count on tipping. Their prices for sandwiches are higher than what I'm accustomed to, even with my standards adjusted for the current life of everything be expensive that we live in in 2026. Chalk that up to waterfront dining and high rent I would imagine. In any case, if the sandwich didn't live up to the price, I wouldn't give it a 5. Tasted great, service was excellent, overall a very enjoyable lunch. Would return!

Shrimp burger was flavorful all around with perfect seasoning blend! The fries were a strange shape and deliciously crispy. The space inside is expansive - more expansive than it appears since the facade makes the place look like it's a smaller venue. The décor is well done with a perfect mix of rustic charm and comfort. From the bear statues to the wall hangings, there is so much attention to detail everywhere. Though we didn't bring a fur baby. The back of the menu makes it clear pups - and horses - are welcome!

It's definitely nothing fancy, but was clean with about half of the tables occupied when we arrived. My small omelet was served warm but was on the tiny side of small and arrived with a very skimpy portion of sausage, which was a $2.86 up charge. It was a meh. The "home fries" were sliced potatoes out of a can which had been fried earlier that morning and served cold. They were not good at all. My dining companion ordered the 1-egg breakfast. Her scrambled egg was cold. Our server was friendly but seemed very busy so she wasn't especially attentive. All in all, Ghent Sandwich Shop offered a very poor value with mediocre food. Restaurants absolutely need to make a reasonable profit, but this seemed like a rip off.
