    Great Cuban sandwich.
    Brad J.

    Food is great with a fantastic variety of sandwiches and salads. The Cuban was to die for. The service was fast and friendly with a country flair ambiance with in and outdoor seating. A must for lunch.

    I was excited to try Downtown Roots and it did not disappoint. From the moment you walked in the door you felt welcomed. I tried the Italian Stallion and I would like to eat this everyday. Warm buttery bread and an herb Mayo made a wonderful combination. Everything is fresh and servings are large

    Lobby

    Super cute, newish spot in downtown edenton! The staff was super friendly and welcoming when you come in, and the food came out quick! The sandwhich is delicious and cooked to order, I got it without slaw and they adjusted without question. The buffalo has a slight kick, enough to enjoy. I do think the price is a little on the high side - $40 for two sandwiches drinks and chips but the quality is top tier and worth it to support new businesses in this growing town!

    Grilled cheese
    Avery D.

    Got a grilled cheese for $12. Pretty good. Goat cheese, provolone and their special sauce. I wish there'd been a bit more sauce. Was a tad bit burnt. Very nice workers. Would go back and try something else.

    Healthy, casual, creative dishes by this friendly staff.

    The food is so amazing here. The portions are large so you may want to split something! The staff welcomes you as you walk in the door.

    FOOD: terrible...not even a hint of Mexican flavor…read more... SERVICE: whatever.....must be family or something.... AMBIENCE: what is this place? Half disco/bar/we had extra paint so we painted it blue/no really, we're trying to convince Edenton that this is Mexican food.....hahahaha...nope, just drink a lot and enjoy the chips.... TERRIBLE!! I feel a they are being disrespectful and dishonest towards Mexican cuisine by even pretending that a salty dried out piece of flat steak wrapped in an old flour tortilla is something they eat back home....nope! Full disclosure, my wife and I work and live part of the year in NORTHERN MEXICO....aka Southern California!!

    We have been Mamasita's fans since they had the restaurant on Broad st(which has since been torn…read moredown to make room for a Tractor Supply). Just a bar, with great drinks, maybe a dozen tables, and superb service. This Sunday we stopped by for lunch. Started out good, the waitress brought chips and salsa as is the norm, gave us time to make our decisions and took our order. Went downhill from there. We waited for our meal, and waited, and waited. Over 30 minutes. We saw patrons come in, order, receive their food, eat and pay their bill. Still, we waited. When the food finally arrived, we had to send my wife's plate back because the food was cold I never saw a waitress carry anything to the table, it was a robot. Overall a disappointing experience. It will be a while before I return. Sometimes bigger is NOT better.

    We have eaten here several times. It's always been just my wife and myself. We love the seafood…read more It's a bar like atmosphere but that hasn't bothered us. We are in our mid 60's. This last time was last Monday May 20,2026. We had 4 adults and 2 children ages 2 and 5. This is the first time since the restaurant had changed over to Slamming Sammy's Oyster Bar/Daddy Dave's Sports Bar. It was 6:45 pm when we got there. We were immediately seated. The young lady took our drink order and passed out the menus. The sweet tea was awesome as was everything else that we had. I had the 3 item platter. I had 12 medium sized shrimp, 2 pieces of flounder and I think 10 or 12 oysters and sweet potato fries. I got a side of homemade cole slaw. These were the best oysters I think I have ever eaten and I have more than eaten my share of oysters. They were seasoned perfectly and fried absolutely perfect!!! I gave my wife some of my shrimp and my 5 year old granddaughter ate 3/4 of a flounder fillet. Everyone said that their food was wonderful. Most every adult had seafood and the 5 year old chicken tenders and some of Grandaddy's flounder. The 2 year old ate from his parents playes. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. The only drawback we had was there weren't any hush puppies or anything to munch on while we were waiting for our food. I understand that this is basically a bar type situation, but we should have had something to munch on while we were waiting for our food and we ordered a lot of food and drinks. I give the Food a10!! The service was a 10!!! The atmosphere a 9, but remember this is basically a bar and they are just getting the place started. I will say that they need to start putting something out for the customers to snack on until the food gets there!! We will be coming back because they have wonderful staff, the food is amazing and you just don't get fried oysters and shrimp as good of quality as these are except very close to the beach. I wish Washington had a true Restaurant that served the quality of food and the quality of service that this place has. Thank you Slamming Sammy's Oyster Bar and Daddy Dave's Sports Bar. You should be very proud of the food and service that you provide. We will be back!!! Five Stars.

    The Old 34 Grill is a sit-down restaurant in Camden, NC. The restaurant is in a small shopping…read moreplaza. It was a little hard to find while driving as the sign is small. I was warmly greeted when I arrived and the staff was a little surprised that someone from out of town was there. I explained that the museum recommended that I dine there. I was told what the specials were and then given time to decide. The restaurant was clean and had booths and tables. A plus during March Madness were the tvs so I could watch the basketball games! You can seat yourself and their are menus on the tables. You do order at the counter and get your own drinks. I went with the shrimp platter as sounded good. It came with a lot of shrimp and fries. On the table there were condiments so I was excited to see the mayo as I love mayo on fries. I will return here the next time I am in Camden.

    Tried this place out finally. The cashier was super friendly when we walked in and checked on us…read morethroughout the viisit. Cute place, kinda homey diner feel. The menu is pretty expansive diner/ pub food Nd there were many great choices. We got the mac and cheese bomb for an app- essentially a delicious mac n cheese egg roll w a great dipping sauce- absolutely recommend! My son had a hot dog w fresh cut fries and like both a lot. I got the cheesesteak. It was fine but a bit bready for my taste; less meat than i like in suck a thick bread. The bagged chips were really delicious- i got spicy pickle flavor. All in all a good meal, pricey for diner food but such is life these days.
