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!

Just hollering between the two people about who is going to take care of the order. Nobody dines in probably because the service is bad. If a school or church bus pulled up that would be bad on both ends. I put up with it because I like their Spud potato. If it goes off the menu I can get any of their other options somewhere else cause their prices are outrageous. $45 for a sandwich, chips, potato, 2 chili bowls, no drinks. We don't come here often; just if I'm craving their Spud potato.

What blew my mind was quality and flavor of foods. Spinach and bacon was crisp, salsa fresh, avocados buttery and obviously not pre frozen.

Only caveat was a long wait time for meal but it was well worth the wait!

I found the smoothie to be really sweet- and I tried to pick one that wouldn't be a sugar bomb (pretty sure the peanut butter used was Jiff, which would explain it). The avocado toast was a little sad (a little smear of guacamole instead of a nice fresh avocado, but oh well). The egg on top was fine. The omelette my dining partner got was mid. Service was friendly, though she seemed a little stressed considering the place was so empty. The menu was really big. I feel like they should cut the menu down and focus on doing a few healthy things really well. Ambiance was cute, clean, can't complain.

My order ticket was correct, but they seemed to have neglected it during my drive up and rushed to make it, and I stepped off to the bathroom and didn't watch it being made. To be fair, I'm sure they would have made it correctly for me if I'd asked, which I did not. Always check your takeout orders. The difference mattered because for me the whole point was to get something portable to take to the beach, and the bowl of food I got instead was far less well suited to being packed and carried. But I made it work. In substance, I was happy that they offered an abundance of vegetarian options in the customization, including crisped tofu as well as various beans and vegetables. It was pretty good, and the spicy sauce was spicy. I ended up thinking I might try another one of these places (it is a regional chain) despite my disappointment at getting the wrong order.

The bad were the people behind the counter who made the food. They used stale bread, complained a lot, and couldn't be bothered to put my bagged order in the pick-up section. I waited nearly ten minutes after the 'ready by' time before asking them about my order. They never put it out. It was sitting in the back; meaning the food was cold and the smoothie was warm. That said, Panera management and Panera corporation responded immediately to my first-time complain and made it right. I have honestly never had such a quick and positive response from any food organization...ever. Top notch. Thank you, Mr. Bartelt. You went above and beyond, and I sincerely appreciate that.

"Delicious dive on Lake Park Blvd in Carolina Beach"…read more Came here for lunch on a Sunday at right around noon. The place is dark and kind-of makes you feel like you're in the bowels of a wooden ship. There's a large bar in the center, and a few tables around it, as well as a few tables outside in the back. We were seated right away. I ordered the hot honey shrimp wrap as well as the pickled veggies appetizer. My dining partner got the quinoa grain and greens bowl with blackened tuna. Our food came out in around 10 minutes. The hot honey shrimp wrap came with french fries, to my surprise (didn't see that mentioned on the menu), which were fine. The wrap itself was DELICIOUS. MAN, that hot honey was SO tasty, and the greens and corn batter on the shrimp really complemented it well. It is a very, very messy dish to eat with your hands, so be prepared, but it's well worth the sacrifice. The pickled veggies were local and very tasty-- also a very good value for $5. My dining partner really liked her bowl and the tuna in it as well. The staff were quite attentive, regularly checking in, filling drinks, and clearing dirty plates. Only caution is that a lot of the batters are corn-based, so be careful if you have that allergy. Overall, would very happily come back-- great in all respects. I recommend highly!
