On our way to Greenville, SC we stopped here for some reason. Lol. The sign said under new owners…read more I'm not sure the new manager saw this place. Very old building inside and out. Busy establishment. Sat in a booth near the entrance and was greeted by the server. She dropped off our menus and brought us waters. After a few minutes she took our order. I had the western omelette with a side of hash browns and a biscuit. Wife ordered two eggs, hash browns and toast. The omelette was extra oily and the hash browns were mostly undercooked. Wife's hash browns were the same. Her eggs were over medium and were fine. I will say the omelette did taste good. The service was ok. The bathrooms were horrendously dirty. Overall, if you're willing to take a risk and try something "different", this might be your place. Hopefully new owners can fix this place up.

Good thing we sat close to the unit to stay cool. The service was very prompt and courteous although I had to keep asking for refills. Third, the double pattied hamburger was about 4 inches round maybe 3 oz a patty each. I ordered the tater tots and got exactly 12. My husband got the same burger, but French fries instead. He got 14 fries. The tomato slice on both sandwiches was bigger than the 2 patties of meat! Our bill for lunch with drinks and tip was over $35. Shame on you Huddle House. This was as skimpy as you can get. We've eaten a lot of burgers and fries other places for the same prices and nothing like what we got served.

And Metro Diner checks all the boxes. Last night I was looking at the general area because I knew I wanted to go somewhere for breakfast. Metro diner popped up as one of the options. I had been here once before, and apparently it had been a six months (according to my last review) since I was here. When I arrived I was pleasantly greeted at the door. I was quickly seated. Kristy promptly came over and took my order. I got the strawberry shortcake griddle special. Let me say I thought the lemon blueberry griddle was good. This one was just as good if not better. I'm a huge lemon blueberry fan so this one had high expectations. Like before the restaurant was clean. Staff were attentive and constantly checking on all of the tables. Before placing my order, I had asked about the strawberry shortcake griddle, and the sweetness. I like sweets, but not necessarily for breakfast. Kristy offered her opinion and suggestions/recommendations, stating this was one of her favorites. I'm not sure why it took six months to come back, but I will definitely be back. Thank you, Metro diner and staff for a great meal and service. Like before I will definitely be telling my friends and family about this location.

While visiting family in Lumberton, we decided to try out some of the local eateries. This morning…read morewe saw a few Yelp reviews for Jeff's Corner Cafe that looked good and it was right down the street from our Airbnb so we decided to give it a try for breakfast. The first thing you should know about this restaurant is the name is actually Jay's Country Kitchen. I tell you this because I don't want you not stopping because it doesn't say Jeff's outside. Any who. What great breakfast. I'm from the South and have had my share of grits but what they do here with grits is freaking incredibly delicious. I literally don't have the words to describe how great they are to eat. Just trust me. Get the grits. The eggs were expertly cooked and liver pudding was perfectly spicy and meaty. The linked sausages were also fantastic. This will be our go to place for breakfast the next time we are visiting family here. Highly recommend.

My husband is a wing connoisseur, and he ordered the 10-piece naked wings in buffalo sauce, and I decided to try the frogs leg. Both were excellent appetizers, and we ordered the Philly cheesesteak with sweet potato fries, and a shrimp quesadilla. Hubby loved his cheesesteak, and I can honestly say that the shrimp quesadilla was the best one I've ever had. We noticed lots of families eating and the waiter we had was terrific. We would definitely stop again if in the area. Only thing missing is Yuengling beer on tap - only got one in a bottle.

Same question she asked when she got our drink order. She then served two more tables before getting our drinks. Finally we got our drinks ! Time for the food. Told her what we wanted ( simple order) told her I wanted plain grill chicken. Nothing on it. Had to get up for us to get refills waitress continued to walk back and avoid our table. When the food finally came it made chicken was covered in onions. I waited for our waitress to ask for a knife, my husband finally flagged another waitress down and asked for one. She didn't get me one either. I finally had to get up again and go to the front to ask for a knife where I was told they had to wash one. Finally got a knife. Cut open my chicken and the thick portion was pink. Needless to say I didn't eat it. BTW there were empty tables everywhere. They weren't busy at all. I could understand about some of this if they were. She was literally tending to 4 tables. No excuse for pink chicken.

We got the crab cake platter, blackened catfish platter, honey pecan chicken roll, crab cake…read moresandwich, and the white russian pecan pie. After having the crab cake sandwich we would recommend doing the platter because the bread overpowers the crab cake. Everything was incredible, the flavors, consistency, and quality. It is for sure comfort food but nothing sits heavy and feels super fresh. Not a fan of coleslaw but it was super yummy and great corn fritters for our first time having them. Service was great. Ambiance was super informal and adds to the vibe of what you're eating. Also unrelated but the cashier/server has a super calming energy/presence/voice which totally added to the vibe

Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!

They had a great looking menu, but I was there for a hot dog and that's what I ordered. It didn't take long for it to come out of the kitchen alongside a side salad. Now, that side salad was the cutest, silliest looking thing. Diced iceberg, strip of tomatoes, strip of cheese. That'll teach me to try to be healthy. The dog was loaded with toppings including a creamy coleslaw. Bun fell apart a bit with everything on top but we made it through. If you're passing through Lumberton, give Haleigh's Diner a shot!
