    My buffet lunch; $10
    Doug R.

    An excellent $10 lunch buffet ... that is certainly popular with the locals. The staff is attentive. The restroom is clean. Plenty of parking.

    Eddie's Cafe is a nice stop while in Newton Grove, NC. The BBQ is good and they have a very friendly staff. We opted for the lunch buffet during our visit. We tried the chicken pastry, fried chicken, bbq, fried fatback, cole slaw, and hush puppies. It was all good and a really fair value at $9 a person.

    You better stop here to eat!!!! Very well could be the best bbq ive ever had!! Wifey had the chicken and says "its the kind of fried chicken she wishes she could make at home." The stewed potatoes are freakin awesome!!! The hushpuppies are amazing too!!! Its worth getting off 40 and taking the time to eat!!!! You are a fool if you do not.

    High hopes for this place. A lot of food - great prices. Lacked flavor in the flounder and the BBQ pork :( cold slaw good but plain. Hush puppies tasted like donuts! Not very corn meal- ish. Canned green beans. Fried chicken was good!! Stick with the chicken.

    I love Yelp! It led me to this gem. I went to the Carolina Nutcracker for pecans and looked on Yelp for a lunch spot. I got the BBQ tray for $5.50. bbq, slaw and freshly cooked hush puppies. It hit the spot! They also had a very nice looking buffet with vegetables that looked good. I had trouble deciding so I will need to come back. The service was very good. A nice, friendly, locally run place. You know when there are lots of trucks in the parking lot, it's gotta be good. I highly recommend it!

    Glad I stopped. Had the large fried oyster plate with French fries and slaw, a Pepsi, and some tartar sauce. Hushpuppies were great too. Nice and light.

    This place is fantastic. The prices are great and the food is delicious! Very friendly service. They will bring you a pitcher of sweet tea to the table for refills. The fried oysters are a bit salty but very tasty. Sweet potato fries are a must try.

    Is a lady named Janice an owner? She would have retired from the Air Force.

    Hello, my name is Janet and my husband and I own the restaurant. But I'm not retired from the Air Force. Thanks!

    What is the price for the lunch buffet and what kind of fish do they serve?

    Hi! Our lunch buffet is $9.00 and that price includes tax and your beverage if you choose tea or lemonade. However, sodas are an additional charge to the $9.00. Also, we serve trout, flounder, catfish, and tilapia daily in addition to other seafood…

    We needed to make a quick stop on our road trip, so happy we stopped at Eddie's Cafe out of convenience and the reviews on Yelp.

    It's a mom & pop place off the beaten path, but not so far off the interstate that fellow lovers of…read moreroad trip Yelp Roulette can't stop and get full as a tick on soul food. Being a fan of non-chain local spots, all of them have their quirks and this one's is pretty simple: They have 2 front doors yet one is the entrance and one is the exit. Both are clearly marked and steps from each other; impossible to miss. Upon entering, you seat yourself, a friendly waitress takes your drink order then its on you to lay back your ears and dive in the buffet. Next nifty quirk are the buffet plates: Real glass, y'all! Plenty of places claim to have soul food but how many of them serve up food on proper plates with proper utensils?! As you can see from my plate, all the bases are covered and you won't leave hungry. Trout, fried chicken, baked chicken, sketti, Mac & cheese, slaw, tater salad, collards, black eye peas, taters and gravy... Now unlike most places I must admit, if you have it in you to do so -leave room for desert!- I didn't get a pic of the 2 different types of cake I ate so someone else can brag on those after taking my advice to stop on in. I even joked that the reason we can't have places like this in the city is because people like me would order a coffee and pay for the buffet, but simply sit and eat a little over a quarter of one of those splendid cakes : D

    This is literally my mom cooking, I almost cried bcuz she's not here with us anymore, so glad we…read morestumbled across this place, I'm sure we will be returning customers

    I have to say I was pleasantly surprised going to this restaurant. We were spending the night off…read moreof 95 in Benson NC, saw the restaurant listed and tried it. Little bit out rt50. The service was extremely good, great timing. The steaks were perfect. The sides were perfect. The dining room area is ok, just has the ambiance of a cafeteria. They also have a salad bar which I thought was out of 70's. Quaint. Overall a great dinner and I would go back.

    The fact I haven't been here before now blows my mind!…read more We stopped in around 630 on Wednesday and I will say, the place looked closed but don't let that deter you. We walked up and were immediately greeted and seated. I ordered an apple pie cocktail (this is a must order) to start and they brought a basket of rolls. The rolls were so soft and fluffy! I know people talk about roadhouse rolls but these are definitely right up there with them! And they came with this cinnamon butter that was incredible. I may have eaten the other half of my boyfriends roll. He ordered a steak topped with Asiago and mushrooms while I ordered the new Orleans salmon. The steak was so incredibly tender. It basically melted in your mouth. My only slight disappointment was the alfredo sauce for the salmon was broken and a little lumpy. The flavor was on point but I would have preferred a non-broken alfredo sauce. This is now one of my favorite steakhouses and I'll definitely be returning in the future!
