Great Pork Chops and a Delicious Start at Morgan's!…read more Stopped into Morgan's Tavern & Grill while visiting New Bern and started with the chef's special soup of the day, Chicken Poblano. Creamy, flavorful, and a great way to begin the meal. For dinner, I went with the grilled pork chops topped with a molasses glaze, and they did not disappoint! Cooked perfectly to medium, the chops were juicy and had a nice smoky char. The molasses glaze added just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the pork. I paired them with broccoli because I like to pretend I'm making healthy decisions when dining out. I'm pretty sure the vegetables canceled out the molasses glaze! Overall, a very enjoyable meal. The pork chops were definitely the highlight, and Morgan's is worth checking out when visiting New Bern.

Our first night near New Bern and we picked a friendly pub. They had a one hour wait for tables so…read morewe went to the bar and got seated right away. The bartender was so friendly and helpful. We are given complimentary honey croissants which were buttery and rich so be careful, it can be an appetite spoiler. We enjoyed them though, nice touch. We just wanted apps tonight with cold beers so I ordered the Cheesy Buffalo Fries. Read the description carefully because they are not fries...they are a curly potato more in the wedge family, not very fries like. Little disappointed because I was craving fries tonight. But thats on me for not reading it carefully. It wasn't bad at all. My husband ordered one of his favorite soups to get, French onion, and was not happy with it. He called it "fake". The restaurant looked very warm with brick walls and high ceilings. Service was great, but food was ok. Not interested in visiting again in the future.

Love the atmosphere. They have a fantastic cocktail menu but I didn't have the chance to try any…read more Their fancy toasts are soooo good though. It was hard to pick just two. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

This is a really neat space with great drinks, just make sure you park strategically... the road…read morecan get entirely blocked by a train for a really long time, and you might find yourself a bit stuck! Didn't happen to us, but when we arrived, there was indeed a train sitting there, and some cars in front, well, they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. Inside is all vibes, kind of set up like an old pharmacy, but slinging cocktails instead, and I have to say, the cocktails were very tasty and well priced. All the tables were full of friend and family groups playing board games and enjoying various flatbreads and libations. Seems like the kind of place the local neighborhoods enjoy and spend quite a bit of time at. At the moment, can't remember the names of the cocktails we got, its been a few months. But I do remember the toasts. This place doesnt have a kitchen in a traditional sense, more like a prep area where they bring ingredients together (that I imagine are made off site) and toast it up to present you with some pretty unique combos and flavors. Honestly, a great way around some of the health code restrictions that start to apply to more in-depth operations while still having a robust menu. We ordered a variety for the 4 of us, as this was dinner that evening. Gettin Figgy with it was a favorite, as were the Pig and the Goat, and the Reuben. Their version of a Cubano was alright, but as could be the case you'd imagine, the pork was a little dry. The caprese was the only one we got that seemed to be a universal thumbs down, the avocado spread wasn't working with the other ingredients. Definitely would come back for some of these toasts, and drinks!

The Old Pinnix - This was a nice little place to have some great toast, drinks, and play a board game.
