    4 piece catfish

    Tried this place for the first time yesterday. Had it door dashed to my work and everything was so delicious! I will definitely be back.

    Cheesesteak

    What a great surprise! We were looking for a restaurant to grab some food with my oldest son and say this place and decided to try it out. I had the fried jumbo shrimp, my husband had the catfish and my son had the cheesesteak. We all loved our food!! The service was great!!

    Fresh food. Hot, fast, and wonderfully delicious. Call ahead. It'll be steaming and ready to go. Don't forget the Fried Green Tomatoes, Okra and Mushrooms. Awesome

    Oysters and hush puppies

    I hate writing negative reviews but this was by far the worst seafood I've ever had in my life!! The Only reason we went here was because Cajun Seafood is closed on Tuesday but we should have waited. We ordered the oysters, they were dirty, red beans & rice which was just watery beans, catfish that you can taste hadn't been washed, and burnt hush puppies. The only thing that was somewhat edible were the canned green beans. For $34 I definitely expected better. Do Not Eat Here.

    Delicious flounder and shrimp

    Best seafood in Jacksonville NC, and they give large quantity for the very good cost.

    Been here a few times. They are not fast food, so be patient. The food is great and reasonably priced. Staff is always helpful and friendly.

    I was so excited to try this place but was so badly disappointed in the food. I had the pulled…read morechicken rasta pasta and my husband had the salmon. The total cost was over 40. Maybe it was because we got what was left over from the day, because it was a half hour before closing. But even if that were true.... there was barely any chicken, mostly bones. And it was so spicy, I couldnt taste the chicken. All it was, was burning my mouth. The pasta sauce was overspiced as well. My husband received a very small portion of trout. No rice was given, as it was supposed to be. I think maybe they were out of rice. So he was given a piece of cornbread, wrapped in plastic wrap. He gave it to me because i was so unhappy with my meal, I barely touched it. The cornbread was so oily, it fell apart when i took it out of the plastic. I got to taste the cabbage and cole slaw, those were ok. Cabbage was bland. I dont think we will go back and try again. Way too pricey for what we received. Positive note, the staff was kind and friendly, and the place was cute.

Let me tell you the short drive I had to get there and the food was incredible, let's dive right into. Jerk Chicken with Yams & Mac & cheese with a strawberry drink $21 (Lg I believe is what I ordered) Now I've never had Jerk Chicken before so this was a first and it was flavorful, great portion size, and a solid option. Tender fall off the bone meat, with a flavorful tag every bite. Now what I can say I am is a connoisseur of Mac & cheese and Yams and let me tell you. They did not disappoint, them yams and Mac & Cheese had me feeling as if I was back in Louisiana, with grandma back in the kitchen brought back some memories. The place hand really cool laid back vibe music in the back ground playing where you could hear it, however wasn't too loud to enjoy a conversation. 5/5 definitely will be taking the family to taste this place of heaven.

You can choose a bowl, a wrap, or a pita. They do offer sandwiches and other items as well. I decided on a bowl. I chose yellow rice instead of quinoa. I was able to have a few small samples to help make a decision. I also had lamb, chicken, garbanzo beans, spinach, three different hummus (feta, traditional, roasted eggplant), lettuce, tomato, feta, cucumbers, naan, and tzatziki over the top. I also decided to have a lemonade. They have several different lemonades to choose from and it's bottomless if you're dining in. I added so many items to the bowl the price was fairly high, but worth it. There's plenty of seating inside and it's a nice dining room. Very simple, but comfortable. I sat and enjoyed my bowl with pomegranate lemonade. Everything was delicious. I'm happy that I finally tried The Hummus Republic. I will definitely eat here again. Recommend giving it a try.

I got a pretty full bowl. I noted that the kale they had out had a number of dubious leaves in it, but the person picked around them to get me some nice green kale (if I were them I'd just dump the wilted ones). Vegetarian options were ample at all levels of the ordering process and indeed the only non-vegan component i ended up with was some feta. It was a salty and tasty bowl; oddly the salad greens were the only thing I got less of than expected. I also said what the heck and got what they call a signature tahini shake, which was absurdly filling to the point that I pretty much skipped a meal. Okay if that's what you want. Overall, not perfect but a quality place with options for most diets.
