    Looking for good local eating for the Duncan/Reidville folks? This is a good place to start. The cafe has your usual sandwich, soup and salad options in addition to coffee, appetizers, and a specials menu. I tried the chicken quesadilla and fish tacos with a friend and I'm really a big fan of cafes/restaurants that do the simple items very well. One critique I'd like for them to consider is leave a post on their restaurant door when closed for special occasions. I tried to visit once only to find out later from a friend than they posted the restaurant was closed for almost a week on Facebook. Not everyone uses Facebook! If you like supporting local like I do and like good cafe food, this is worth a visit. I will be back to try their sandwiches and follow up on a review them.

    Blackened Pork Chop, Black Beans and Rice, Broccoli
    lanette l.

    A casual lunch turns into me finding my new favorite casual go to. The menu had a lot of great options and then our server read us the special. At least 3 Brunch & 3-4 lunch as well. I was thinking wow I love having options! I ordered the Blackened Pork Chop, Black Beans and Rice, Broccoli. Y'all when I say this pork chop was big, seasoned well and juicy. The Black Beans and Rice also seasoned nicely and delicious. My husband had the Cuban Sandwich with Potato Salad. His sandwich was delicious and he said only thing he would do is ask for a little more mustard next time. As a former chef and a pretty good cook I'm always looking for good home cooked food with some twist and this place has it! One hard working man pulling it all off and our server was super nice and helpful. I've already told my husband this is where I want to have my birthday dinner because I know I'll have a great meal! With all of the options this will definitely be in our usual rotation. Kudos to this place for making good quality food that would make your mama proud!

    Shrimp and Grits

    The shrimp and grits were amazing! The service was great and the food came out quick but still fresh. Highly recommend

    My husband and I really enjoyed our lunch today. I had the bourbon bacon cheeseburger. My husband had the French Dip. We had biscotti cheesecake for desert. Everything was delicious. Menu was not extensive but the daily specials were appetizing and well thought out. Well presented. A lot of offerings for drinks. Wine, beer, tea etc. This was our first visit but will not be our last. Service was great. Accommodating. Ambience was comfortable . Enjoyed the music playing. Looking forward to returning for the homemade banana pudding.

    Take a river chicken, barbecue and loaded mashed potatoes, Yum Yum

    This is definitely worth a visit! The management and staff are top-notch and very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is very nice and casual but still a good place for dates and stuff a little more formal I had the tiger rib river barbecue chicken and we also had the pork chops which were really big. Both were cooked perfectly and definitely worth the 40 minute drive.

    Delicious ribeye

    This spot has become a family favorite! The service is always quick and personable. The drinks are delicious and reasonably priced. And the food-the food is always freshly prepared and well seasoned. We've been a couple of times now and have tried a variety of items and loved each one!

The one who suggested this restaurant told the other right upfront that it's the best for this area of North Carolina and it is not Cuban food of Miami. The restaurant was busy, and of course tables are limited because of its size, but the owners were very accommodating and we appreciate that very much There is a back parking lot with three spaces, but they are for pick up only but we were given permission to use one as we had a handicap individual with us. My Cuban sandwich was just fine and tasted just like the one I had in Miami in my opinion as a gringo and everyone finished their meal without sending anything back so I would say the food was pretty good The restaurant is a order at the counter and staff will deliver it to your table. There is one unisex bathroom for All and I'm not sure about everyone else but of course our service dog was allowed. I did see two other dogs so I can only assume that pets are allowed as those two were not marked as service animals at all. I cannot think of anything that would cause me not to give this Restaurant a full five star rating

The Cuban sandwich is a great experience of flavor and well done masterpiece... All the personnel welcome you and treat you as part of the family. I truly recommended for Breakfast and for lunch.

    We are constantly frustrated when eating at restaurants over the last couple of years…read more Today, we thought we would try something outside of our norm. Wow, we made a great decision trying Mama Juana Latin Fusion. We had an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by the host, we knew this was going to be something different. The host asked, and was genuinely excited when we told him it was our first time in. When the waiter arrived, he was excited to tell us about the menu, as well as the food itself. He enthusiastically explained that while they had Mexican dishes, authentic Latin food was their real specialty. He made great recommendations and took great care of us throughout the meal. We chose to try the empanadas (1 cheese, 1 chicken, and 1 steak) and some cheese dip with chorizo. Both were exceptional. Full of flavor. My wife and I agreed to split 2 entrees, and that was another good decision. I had the Cachapa with shredded chicken, and she had the Venezuelan Arepas. Neither of us had ever had these dishes, but both were amazing. We were stuffed, but no way we couldn't take a desert home for later. The flan and the Tres Leches were both AWESOME! If you are on the fence, just try this place. You will be glad you did! They take a tremendous of pride in the quality of the food. The restaurant was very clean and had a great ambiance.

    AMAZING! I had heard about this place a few times in some Facebook groups and a Big Dave Eats post…read more I finally went in and tried for myself. There were many different options but I had to try the Empanadas and the hubby had the Street Burrito. Both were delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive and I could tell we aren't the only ones that think they are great because the traffic was steady in and out of the place. Oh and they get super high kudos for cleanliness, the entire place including the bathrooms were spic and span!
