They also have picnic tables outside to sit at. The fact that they are dog friendly is an extra bonus for us. I love the fact that if they don't have a draft beer I like, they always have a well stocked cooler of single cans to choose from. They also have a large selection of wine and beer to buy and take home.

If you're looking for a great place to get lunch in New Bern, Lawson's on the Creek is a strong…read moreoption. 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!

Don't let the fact that Savi's wine shop is in a quaint historic home fool you. They have a nice…read moreselection of all varietals from around the world. Because the shop is small and the owner is extremely knowledgeable, Savi's is like having your own sommelier just down the street! As if you needed another reason to go to Savi's, they offer a wine club with monthly wine tastings in their private courtyard Added bonus is their prices are in-line or better than the big box stores. Plus you can order over the phone for curbside pick up...brilliant! We can't wait to enjoy our purchases from today and many more in the future...cheers
