Such a cute spot that was recommended by a friend. Arrived and was immediately greeted and picked a seat. Menus were already on the table and the server came right over to help me. I decided on the chicken avocado melt and fries with garlic aioli and it was ready to eat before I could start scrolling on my phone. The sandwich was hot n fresh and the fries with the sauce were crispy and delicious. Good gluten free options including gf bread and homemade sourdough bread. The server remembered I mentioned work and brought the check quickly and said I could scan the QR code to pay or go the register. Fast. Friendly. Good food. What more could you want??

Ordered takeout today. The menu is very deceiving. I ordered a Chefs Breakfast Bowl (not a biscuit bowl) and was just given a biscuit and gravy with a folded egg, for $15. Ordered the fresh fruit and was given fried apples (fried apples are not fresh fruit). Both of these items are things I don't eat. They should let people know what is in the items on their menu. Attached are photos. Update, THANK YOU for responding to my feedback. I used your online menu because you stated in a review a month ago, that your online menu is the most accurate. If I had known what the Chefs Breakfast bowl was, I would have tried one of your avocado toasts instead (something I know I could eat). I will update this review if I go back.

I love this place! I have been here two or three times now. I have been with a friend friend and I have also been on a double date. This is such a great lunch spot. I love the amazing offerings for entrées as well as sides. The ambience of the restaurant is also really cute - it is warm and inviting. It is a fun place to take people, especially people visiting the area. The only thing that is a little strange is having to figure out that you order the food yourself at the register but once you know that it is totally fine. happy this place came Winterville.

That was the best restaurant experience i've ever had. The staff were so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They had the most amazing menu with natural ingredients. You can tell they are really passionate about clean food and we need more of that in Greenville! I would drive 3 hours just to go to this restaurant. Definitely a hidden gem that deserves all the business! Best experience ever! Will be back!!

Oh man! Why oh why did I wait so long to try this place?! It is TOP tier. I have not found a better sandwich in Greenville, and certainly gives a run for its money to Triangle place I've tried. It is a beautiful place. Shaina has done a beautiful job making it look both inviting and cozy as well as aesthetically pleasing. It is boho and mid-century with lots of plants. Stunning! Shaina and husband, Matt are easy going and easy to talk to. Their passion for customer care is evident and just sitting there watching interactions, I noticed lots of regulars and friendly relationships with patrons. We all chatted at length too! The food was unexpectedly tasty. I had no idea. I got a simple chicken and bacon and avocado with side salad at about 11:31 and by 11:38, my brain exploded (in the best possible way). The flavors!! Parmesan crusting in the bread, each element of the sandwich imbued with careful flavor attention. Even the blue cheese for my salad had stone ground mustard in it - I've never had that - and it was great! Moved in to coffee and a cinnamon roll, which obviously revived me from the dead and filled me with the joy of 1,000 suns. It was so good! I am already planning to be back next week as I conveniently scheduled a meeting there....or should I say...meating!

Dirty Chai

Spectacular place for an upper end brunch. Ordered two entrees because I couldn't decide - both were excellent. Dirty Chai was top notch and I order that everywhere I go. (Also the fanciest I have ever been served.). Owner was proud of her food, service and place - and she should be. Came over and spoke for a bit. Definitely be here again next visit to Greenville.

This is a hidden diamond. Unassuming strip mall on the outside, but elevated food preparation here. Worth a visit if you are in Greenville.

Now this was a whole vibe and very much so one hell of an experience that I won't soon forget!…read more Right in the middle of our coaster trip we stopped here on our way to the next adventure and instantly we felt the love from the local community as it was very apparent that they have a very dedicated local following here as there was a few people waiting in line to order with a few more coming in those that came in had a trophy with them celebrating their cousin for being the best and they totally let everyone know it with the staff here calling them by name and just being all for it, then this guy out of no where asks me for a sip of my drink I say it's not mine but my lady's he's like oh she makes the decisions I say yes you better believe it he just starts laughing then his wife tells him to behave as the staff hands him his drink. Those inline then started just talking to us and out of nowhere again one of the staff working says you know them and the lady he was talking to says yes they are friends of mine and we all just chilled in this counter area talking and having an awesome time waiting for our food to be done overall awesome vibes here all around! Now that pepper steak sandwich wow that's good like it was soo flavorful and yummy it had a ton of pepper steak on it that was mixed with some type of sauce that just soaked into it making each bite just that much better than the one before and not to mention it was packed with some veggies too as well as banana peppers to set the vibe even more! Seriously though don't count out that bread that was some delicious bread with a good crunch to it that totally held up to an already strong delicious sandwich! Overall this was an amazing stop with vibes and one of the best sandwich's I've ever had I really hope to get back here again at some point because that flavor was there in more than one way seriously just soo good!

Service wasn't the best, especially long phone wait…read more Sandwich was filling and tasty. Will return as I hope I caught them on a bad day

Food takes some time as each are made to order but worth it. Nice and helpful staff at the counter. The Deets: I had the chance recently to go tailgating before an ECU football game, and my friends that regularly do so recommended Pirate's Deli so we stopped on our way to the game. This deli is fairly good sized with a extended menu of offerings on a board around two of the walls near the ordering counter/pickup area. The staff was nice and helpful when ordering. I looked over all the great and plentiful choices, finding the NY Yankee Chicken Cutlet Sandwich (breaded chicken, bacon, melted Swiss, lettuce/tomato, with honey mustard) which looked just right for me. Orders do take a while to come up as each are made to order and there were a few people ahead of us already getting their game day selections. Our orders were out soon enough and we were off to tailgate. The sandwich was very good...just messy enough to be interesting but not chaos to eat and the components came together for a great tasting combination (see pic). I was pretty satisfied with this sandwich and would definitely get this one again. Everyone one else felt the same about their food selections as well. In all, a good stop into Pirate's Deli to secure some tailgating eats before the game.

Was in town for a soccer id camp with my 16 year old, on way out of town found this place from…read morereviews. Atmosphere was that of a fun college dive bar. From the parts I got to see inside was small table seating around the bar. We got lucky to sit in at the outdoor covered patio seating which was great minus perhaps some outdoor heaters to warm it up a bit. Service was good overall. Servers were fun and helpful. Service a bit slow on our drink refills but the food running and table bussing was fast. Food was great, wished I had taken pics to share. Menu consisted of a good selection of apps, sandwiches, burgers and sides. Everything we tried was great. Chicken nachos were awesome, wish they had been a bit bigger but the topping portions was perfect and the taste amazing. The Cuban and fried pork chop sandwiches were again great and the spicy sweet potato fries were so good. Potion sizes were good and the food tasty. The nachos and spicy sweet potato fries were my faves. While probably not the place for young families, this was a hidden gem and fantastic find. Not really for those in wheelchairs as it is tight getting through the bar area, but there was a small ramp I recall. Bathrooms could use some work, about what you'd expect at your local dive bar but only a single stall and could be cleaner. Highly recommend this place.

Stopped in for a quick bite and brew. Service was friendly and attentive. In a casual pub…read moreatmosphere. Ate a pastrami Reuben, which was good. Everything came out fresh and hot. Would definitely come back here again Follow me on Instagram and yelp @noodlesoupr

I went here for a business dinner. I'm a foodie, and to be honest, when I looked at the menu, I…read morewasn't sure what to expect because it looked like an unfocused/random selection of dishes. However, I'm glad to say my instincts were completely wrong on this one. My business colleagues told me all the ingredients are locally sourced, and the based of taking diner food and making it a little more modern (without the pretentiousness). The space matches the concept - modern diner. I tried the following: - Daily Bread: Very good. Nothing like freshly bread and butter. - Spaetzle Mac & Cheese: Excellent. I've had spaetzle and and I've had mac & cheese, and this was as good as interpretation of mac & cheese I've ever had. A lot of my colleagues thought this was the most memorable dish of the night. - Pickled Things: Good. I always like trying new things, and pickled blueberries and fried saltines were new to me. Really nice surprises. - Daily NC Catch (Trout): Very good. Trout was just as perfect as can be with a nice crispy sear on the skin, and meat was still tender. The risotto underneath was good, but a bit over-seasoned. Service was incredible. The server was interactive, fun, attentive and doing a masterful job of single-handedly managing a table of over 12 people, which is never easy. Overall, a great meal. Really great food with service that made us feel like restaurant regulars. If I happen to visit Greenville NC again, I would definitely make sure to return.

The daily catch was trout and the beef was a hanger steak. We weren't too sold on either tonight so I got the chicken sandwich. The chicken was cooked really well but there was so much hot sauce on it, I would def ask for it on the side if you're not someone who wants hot sauce dripping through your bun. Also got the truffle fries which tasted a lot like oil and were just ok! The server we had was very friendly but we sat with empty waters (hard when you have a very hot sauce-y sandwich) and the girl walking around with water walked right past us at one point. Native is typically where we go for our celebration dinners, tonight being our two year wedding anniversary, and I think we will switch it up next time because of this trip.
