If this is your first visit, you place your order at the counter and grab a seat. They'll bring your freshly prepared order directly to your table. I have been craving fried soft shell crab for weeks and finally had the opportunity to enjoy some! If you don't appreciate them, you don't know what you're missing! I decided to add the premium side Crab Tots ($1.99 when added to the meal). I'd never had them before and will definitely order them again! All of my meal items were served fresh and hot!! Everyone in our group cleaned their plates, so you know the quality and quantity of the food was outstanding! On my way out, I spotted the owner Trey sitting at a booth enjoying his lunch. I didn't want to disturb him, so I offered my compliments to the cashier. As I was telling them how much we appreciated the exceptional food and service, Trey got up from his meal and walked over to thank me for coming in. He is a true gentleman and wonderful servant of our community! If you haven't already given them a try, drop by the Front Street Fish Co for lunch or dinner. Also check out the fresh fish in their market next door!! You won't be disappointed!

My sister and I had lunch here and I added on the clam chowder because I can never not get the…read morechowder when I see it on the menu. I have to say, this "chowder" was the worst I've ever had and it's not even close. It tasted, and looked, straight out of a Campbell's soup can. It had hardly no clams and maybe two tiny potato bits. The base tasted just like cream of chicken soup and it was the same consistancy. I even checked with the girl at the front counter to make sure I got the right soup because it was not even close to being a chowder. Even though I didn't like the soup, no one offered to reimburse me for it. All of the other food was ok with the fried shrimp being the best. The whiting and okra both tasted a little like they were fried in old grease.

Nice lil Peruvian spot. You order at the outdoor food truck area and they have indoor seating in a…read moreclean spacious building. My partner ordered lomo saltado and I got a 1/4 chicken with yuca fries. The yuca fries were DELICIOUS. The lomo saltado was tasty, and the chicken was pretty good. It was tender and better with their light green sauce. The service was good, but the prices were just ok, and I didn't like how their menus didn't include prices. I'd probably only go back when craving Peruvian food!

This opened in April and I heard some good buzz on a local community FB page, so hubby and I…read moredecided to check it out. Villa Inca appears to have taken over an old auto service station. When we pulled up I was a little taken aback to see a food truck parked in the parking lot and realized---this was it! We were looking for a casual sit down dinner. Fortunately, I saw that they had converted the old waiting room into a dining room. It was very basic, but clean. We ordered from a nice young lady. I got the Tallerin Saltado Al Carne, and hubby got the Pollo Broaster. We also tried a Inca Kola. My Tallerin was excellent--the noodles were perfectly cooked and I loved the seasoning on the beef. It was a HUGE portion, so I had enough for lunch tomorrow. The Pollo, sadly, did not fare as well. Peruvian chicken is usually excellent, and I encouraged him to try it. My hubby liked the crispiness of the chicken but was disappointed that there was no white meat--it was the back, leg, and thigh only, and not much of that. He enjoyed the fries, though. We both thought the Kola was cool---kind of a creme soda taste. We will likely come again and try some other dishes (but I could wind up getting the Tallerin again!) The reason for 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 was the wonky food truck/dining room setup and the disappointment on the chicken. These folks have the right idea, and if they can improve the chicken and the ambiance factor, they could do well.

I eat the Moon Roll at this Musashi. It is cucumber, avocado and cream cheese rolled in rice. It's awesome!! I know it's not technically sushi but it is cool and refreshing. The service here is always outstanding!! And we used to eat at the cooking tables, but now we generally grab a table out front. The food comes out hot and fast, and for people like my husband who don't want to chit chat during a meal... we don't have to talk to other people at a table. At the cooking tables, you sit next to people you may not know. It's impolite to ignore them, so you almost always end up chatting. Haha At the tables out front, you sit at your own table and eat your food. Always a delicious meal, whether you eat "real" sushi or not.

Where can I start, the food never and I mean never disappoints. It's yummy it's flavors coat your mouth with deliciousness. Appetizer to Entree, the word "good" does an injustice to this place.

Our server Ridley, came to the table promptly, answered our questions and took our orders. Our drinks came quickly and were always full. The food arrived soon after our orders were placed. The presentation of our meals was terrific. Three diners in our party ordered the Fish Tacos and one got the Fish and Chips. It would be an understatement to say the servings were seriously generous. The fish & chips came 3 large fried fish filets and a heaping of seasoned fries. The taco orders each had 3 full vs mini sized soft tacos overflowing with fish filets...the fish was legit spilling out over both ends of the tacos! The fish was lightly battered, nicely seasoned and fried to perfection. The quantity of the food was so generous, only one of us could finish our meal!! On our way out, we stopped and spoke with the manager Kelsey. She is the spirit behind the "the new and improved" Persimmon's ethos. She took no credit for the changes or improvements and instead placed our exemplary experience squarely at the feet of her employees! It's obvious she's a wonderful, caring leader of the Persimmon's team. Cheers to Kelsey, Ridley and the Persimmon's crew!

I'm so disappointed with Persimmons on the Waterfront, in New Bern…read more First, the good things: I love that they sell local art in the waiting area, secondly, I love sitting out on the deck. There was a nice breeze off the Neuse, even though it's 86° right now you don't know that because they have these nice shades and there's a nice breeze coming off the water. So what I didn't like first: I feel the menu was really limited, I can get around that, but the red flag right off the bat was their fish tacos and their fish and chips are made with "white fish" I figured they it was gonna be tilapia or something equally horrible. When I asked the what fish it was he said it was Pangasius, which the waiter described as similar to flounder and I also overheard another waiter. Say the same thing to somebody sitting near me so that's the spiel they're told to tell people who ask what kind of fish. I suggest that you look it up. It's Farm raised and not in very clean environment usually... I never eat tilapia and this is actually one rung below tilapia. I wasn't going to get fish. I ended up getting a burger which I normally don't get at a restaurant, but I ordered my burger, medium rare and the waiter said, "We don't do that. We either do pink or not pink." They tried to tell me it was a health department regulation. Nope! Other than fast food like McDonald's and Wendy's and such I've never been to a restaurant especially a supposedly fine dining restaurant where you couldn't order your burger, medium, well medium, medium-rare or rare. I said, try to make it less than just pink please. Then when I cut into my burger. It was well done. Maybe the exact center was slightly pink, but that was just one bite worth. I'm very disappointed, but I have to tell you I would be back just to be able to have the same glass of wine. It was a white wine, a dry white wine from Spain and the appetizer of brussels sprouts while sitting out on the patio, it was a nice experience for that but not for a meal.
