Came here for lunch while in town. I had the spanakopita (spinach pie). It was average but did hit the spot. Spinach was moist and lightly seasoned without being too salty. Crust was flaky. Presentation was peculiar since it came in a fryer basket but it wasn't fried. Service was good. Bakery cases were impressive. I tried a cream puff upon a recommendation from a local. It was indeed one of the best that I have had. Compared to others the crust was more moist and had more substance behind it. Cream was just sweet enough and had a thick but light texture. Also tried their chocolate chip cookies which is a soft and thin type. Definitely will be back the next time I'm in town. read more

Famous Restaurant missed the mark in all the areas that matter: texture, dough, and cheese. The dough was overly chewy and reminded me of something you'd buy in the frozen food aisle. The cheese had almost no stretch or pull, which is one of the hallmarks of a good pizza. The sauce was actually the best part, it wasn't bad at all, but it couldn't make up for the rest. Overall, I thought it was a disappointing pizza. After living in New York for more than 40 years and spending another 10 years near Chicago, I've eaten my share of great pizza. I like to think I know a thing or two about what makes a quality pie, and this one just didn't measure up. I've always had good experiences at Famnous, so this review is just about the pizza I had this time. read more

This is my second review, as usual Yelp lost or deleted the last one. This is my second time here, the first time I was just looking for a quick lunch and then I can back this time with my wife. First off, the name is a little deceiving, this place has a more complete menu than just pizza and sandwiches. And then there is the bakery section! Don't miss that! I've tried the Ruben which was great, best I've had since I moved to NC. Both times we had the fries which are generous and there was plenty for us to share. The vibe here is local, there are clearly regulars and everyone is friendly, including the other customers who are all chatty and friendly. The staff is prompt and professional but also have that more casual vibe, we felt our waitress cared about us genuinely. I see other complain that its busy, if a restaurant is not busy it's failing. We did not have to wait, sat ourselves and were immediately brought menus. Our lunch was great and filling. But then we headed to the bakery... It's small but it has everything, cakes, cookies, preserved jellies. artisan olive oils, pastry, cupcakes etc. Everything we have tried has been really good. There are no batteries in the town where we live, and none in the two neighboring towns either despite being larger than New Bern. We find ourselves in New Bern a few times a month and are adding Famous Subs and Pizza to our list of regular stops. Even if we are not eating here we will pick up a selection of treats and fresh bread to take home with us. read more

This place was busy and it's a seat yourself! This is not a good idea as you will get overlooked. We basically had to push someone out of their booth. We sat immediately once they got up, sat at a dirty table for about 10 minutes until acknowledged. Had to ask for a table wipe down. Horrible way to do this seating. Food was good. Won't be back when it's busy. read more

Waited 20 minutes - no server. I don't mind paying for good food and good service but I'm not paying for mediocre food with terrible service. Get rid of the 16 year olds and hire real servers. Went to 37th Street. read more

This restaurant is great. Really enjoyed the food, the service was fast and super friendly, and it was a nice, clean, cool place. We actually ended up here twice on our trip to New Bern. But the menu was so big and had so many options that it felt like going to two different places! The appetizer list looked great. Over the two visits, we had the cheese fries, tzatzaki with pitas, spanikopita, and mozzarella sticks (there were like 8 of us, don't judge me). The cheese fries were amazing. It was like they took a pound of mozzarella and just shoved fries in it. Absolutely delicious, and different than what I was expecting, in a good way. The star is the tzatzaki. I could put that on anything! Some of our party even used it as salad dressing. Unfortunately for me I didn't try the pizza, but it looked great and everyone said it was fantastic. I had the gyro, which was really great, a good lamb/beef mix with great seasoning. I don't know if the pitas were homemade but either way they were fantastic. The second time I went I decided to try the wings, because they looked so good the last time. They were very good, although personally I would have preferred hotter and more sauce, but that's just personal preference, they were delicious. One last thing. We were here for a party, and we had a cake that was made in their bakery. It was so good. Perfect ratio of cake to icing, and not too sweet but delicious! read more

Had their Greek style pizza and it was probably the best I have ever had! I would eat it all the time!

Amazing gyros, very distinctive hummus, and great deserts. I can't wait to go back. read more

Steak fries - perfect. Pepper steak - always perfect. House sauce - the cherry on top. Famous is my go to every time I come back home to New Bern. The bakery next door is a welcomed bonus! I bring my cooler now to be sure to bring goodies back home! read more

After Tryon Palace we were hoping to stop at a pizzeria nearby but they're closed on Sundays! Yelp search led us to Famous Pizza because I saw a review saying BEST PIZZA IN NEWBERN... I can honestly say that this IS the best pizza I've ever had in Newbern.. ok it's the only pizza I've had in Newbern but that's beside the point. The amount of takeout orders they were cranking out is in indication that it's a local favorite. What really cinched that 5th star was the attached bakery. HOLY MOLY! My blood sugar skyrocketed just by walking over to the bakery side and seeing the most beautiful sweet treats (and a few savory as well) . I picked up a few cannolis and a slice of strawberry cheesecake for the hubs. If they taste as good as they look then I may need some insulin! AND if you dine in at the restaurant you get 10% off at the bakery. As IF I needed any incentive!! read more

I had gone into the bakery on Monday and got a latte which was terribly burnt to the point I could not drink it. I was unable to call in and let them know before the bakery had closed so I went today, Wednesday of the same week. I informed the employee I had come in two days prior and received the burnt latte and asked if it was possible to have it remade. The employee says nothing and disappears for 5 mins then returns and asked what kind of drink it was. She remakes the drink and hands it to me but aggressively says next time call the same day because we can't prove it was our fault, which was unprofessional but whatever maybe she was having a bad day. I stepped out to try the drink and it was burnt yet again. I stepped back in to store to let her know it was burnt and she replies with well maybe you don't like our roast. I've had a few drinks from there before and never had any issue. That girl was highly unprofessional and rude. I will not be returning. read more

I ordered a tossed salad. No surprise there, plain old to go carton of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, a few slivers of green pepper and an egg. My husband ordered a Greek salad. Wow!!!! He got the same carton as described but the "Greek" was accomplished by a couple of ripe olives and two chunks of Feta cheese. Now the lettuce in both salad was plain ice berg lettuce with a sprig or two of "mixed green". These salads were quite disappointing. Money will be spent next time a Teeters, they have wonderful premade salads. read more

OK pizza. Crust was thin. Toppings adequate but not great. It was a 20 min ride for us. I will look for a closer restaurant next time.

Sooo dry!!! Where's the cheese?? There is absolutely nothing special about this sandwich and I'm very disappointed. I will not be returning. read more

They have the best tavern style pizza. It's a great price for what you get.

Famous is one of my favorite restaurants and bakeries in the NB. They have a little of everything from gyros to subs and any baked good you could imagine in the bakery. The parking is a little small, so come here early if you're getting lunch. read more

I got in town a little late and was told everything restaurant-wise closes early, so to find food before settling in. This restaurant was recommended to me by the lady at National Car Rental. Getting to the restaurant, I was hungry, and honestly, there were too many items to choose from! Do I get a sandwich, burger, Italian dish, pizza, or Greek food? I left it in the hands of my waitress, Dallas, to steer me. She was helpful and attentive; she kept my drink full. All around, it was a good experience. The food was fresh, hot, good, and flavorful. read more

What a fun Monday night surprise! We were coming through New Bern on the late side (after 8 p.m.) and wanted to grab something for dinner. I'm so glad I saw this open on Google! We enjoyed a gyro platter, veggie gyro wrap, and two incredible desserts from the bakery. Dallas, our server, was an absolute rockstar! For sure visiting here many times in the future when in New Bern to make our way through more bakery selections. read more

Food is always good and fresh. Excellent staff with good service. Nice clean restaurant with a wonderful bakery attached.

The food was delicious! I came to my hometown for my Class Reunion and a few of us met at Famous for a well needed lunch. We dined in and I had the steak and cheese sub and it tastes as good as it looks. The service was mediocre but the food made the difference. I ordered a salad and asked for no chips but instead I received no salad and only chips. Famous is a New Bern staple. When I'm in town I will do takeout versus dine in! read more

This place consistently has great food and service. This is one of the best restaurants in the city of New Bern.

Excellent bakery items and I loved the thin crust pizza. Best cupcakes and the home Made granola is superior to any I've ever had.

Not impressed. My sub was OK but my daughter's mac and cheese was not edible. I told the waitress it wasn't good and she said sorry about that. When we went to pay, the cashier asked if everything was OK. I said my daughter's mac and cheese was not good. Same reply, sorry about that. ??? I said I guess you're not sorry enough to remove it from my bill. She said, did she eat it? I said, no, she took one bite. Then she told me I should have told our waitress. I said well I did and she said the same thing you did, sorry about that. Finally, she said well if she did not eat it and I can take it off your bill. ‍ read more
