    Bestie & I come out here for geocaching fun & to hit Trader Joe's for dog snacks. We've been here twice with both times finding the spot busy busy. And with good reason, the food and service is delicious and sweet! On my 1st visit I had their burger Double Smash Burger & Parmesan Fries. Y'all, it was sooooo good that I wanted to ignore the fries (and I am a tater girl) & eat the entire burger. It was sweet due to the bacon jam and honestly, I LOVED it. I ate half & took the rest of that sucker home for dinner. And it was still good! Our 2nd visit was this past Sunday where bar seating was all that was available inside (outside was 1000° & not for me). For me, having my back to an entire restaurant is not for me & I would have found us a new place to dine but the food is too good to pass up so, we sat & waited our turn. That day I had the French Toast & Hassbrown Casserole. The FT was light & super tasty with the Casserole needing a smidge of salt. All on all, another great meal and another reason to return to try something new.

    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!

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

    The Breakfast Bar did NOT disappoint!…read more We came looking for a good breakfast, and they delivered. The chicken and waffles were excellent--the chicken was crispy, well-seasoned, and had that real Southern-style crunch, while the waffles were warm, fluffy, and lightly dusted with powdered sugar. The sweet-and-savory combination was on point. And then there was the chicken-and-waffle sandwich with bacon. Whoever decided to put crispy chicken, smoky bacon, and waffles together understood the assignment. It was indulgent, messy in the best possible way, and absolutely worth it. Even the drink was good--refreshing and a nice complement to a pretty serious breakfast. The portions were generous, the food came out looking just as good as it tasted, and this was not one of those breakfast spots that gets hyped up and then leaves you wondering what everybody was talking about. We came to Greenville looking for some of the best waffles in town, and The Breakfast Bar earned its place on the list. It's a small place is patience is required for the service but no complaints here. Would definitely come back. 5 stars from us!

We ordered the trifecta (waffle, eggs, bacon), kids pancake (cc pancake, sausage, fruit, OJ), kids eggs and sausage and an extra side of fruit. It was delivered quick and everything (aside from that 1 sausage that looks slightly overcooked) was fresh and hot!! I'll start with the positive- that OJ was so fresh, I wish I had known how good it was going to be because I would've ordered 3 more!! The bacon was cooked perfectly, the pancake was huge, cooked well and had a great pancake/ choc chip ratio, the eggs were still soft and the waffle was soft and very tasty! Whatever the berry compote was that came with the waffle, was amazing!!! Seriously, so good. The downside- I can't review the fruit at all... because it was completely missing. The fruit side with the kids meal and the full extra fruit side i ordered were both absent. A bummer as our kids do love their fruit, but DoorDash made it right which I appreciate. Can't speak to service or atmosphere of the restaurant itself since we didn't dine in. Overall, this place was great, and we will 100% be eating it again! Knocking 1 star off just since the fruit to the kids meal and the extra side of it was missing, but I'll update my review next time we eat!

    We were belatedly celebrating mom's 84th birthday, and she had not been to Yoder's in 10-15 years…read more Today was my first time. My aunt and cousin joined in on the fun, and it was my cousin's first time as well. Some in our party got the meatloaf, and exclaimed over how delicious it was. I got the parm chicken with rice, which was a little dried out and disappointing. Enter Yoder's cabbage and Dutch potato sides to save the day! Both were absolutely delicious! The cabbage was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. I was delighted to find they were spicy, with visible red pepper flakes. The Dutch potatoes were creamy and cheesy...a new fave! The roll with the cinnamon butter was a treat indeed. And the tea? We like ours half & half...delivered in big cups with extra ice just the way we like it! I also got an English Toffee Latte to go...and it did not disappoint. Neither did the waitstaff, who were friendly, engaging and ensured our food was delivered with a smile. We left with slices of chocolate, coconut cream, and pecan caramel pie, a loaf of sourdough, and a mocha brownie treat for later. Ohhhh, and a ginormous cinnamon roll, cause why not?! The interior of Yoder's restaurant is a rustic place with a lovely shop to wander through while you wait to be seated. They have a lovely bird in the store that will sing you a song and tell you what the cat and the rooster say. So charming! All in all, I've been hearing about Yoder's for years and years...and it did not disappoint! Can't wait for a return visit!

    Our party called ahead the day before visiting the restaurant for Wednesday reservations. We were…read moretold to arrive around 9am the next morning. After arriving a few minutes early we were told it would be "a bit" before they could seat us. "A bit" turned out to be more than an hour and even then they sat us at multiple tables throughout the restaurant. After being seated, we were promptly ignored. Fifteen more minutes went by before our sullen, unpleasant server took our drink orders and eventually our breakfast orders. She was not only extremely slow and inattentive, but blatantly disrespectful to one member of our party by rolling her eyes and making gestures when she thought we couldn't see her. Once our order was placed, we waited then waited more. We had decided to leave if our food had not arrived by 12pm and go to Bojangles in Vanceboro, but at 11:50, over three hours after arriving, our food finally showed up. My omelet was enormous and overflowing with ground sausage. It was OK, but would have been better with less sausage. My shredded hash browns were cold. The biscuit that accompanied the omelet was cold and hard. My dining companion liked her french toast, but noted her eggs, though properly prepared over medium, were cold. Same goes for her home fries. However, the buttery syrup, served with her french toast, was served warm and was absolutely amazing. Wow! It made my biscuit edible and was the best part of our meals. The restaurant is attached to a hardware store in a rural part of Craven County. It definitely has a country vibe and was spotless. Incredibly slow and disrespectful service combined with OK-at-best food make it difficult to recommend Voder's Dutch Pantry in any capacity to anyone.
