Came here on the way back from the airport with my daughter. We wanted a quick bit as i was getting hangry so we stopped here. Place was crowded for a Monday afternoon but the people and staff were friendly. My daughter had the 4 oz seared tuna and cole slaw and i had a grilled chicken sandwich with snap peas. The chicken sandwich was cooked great and was a nice sized chicken breast but the snap peas were overcooked and soggy. The prices were very reasonable and the service was prompt read more

Spunky McDoogle's - American Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

Sports bar??? Should've taken the last review seriously. Had a reservation and was all set to watch the FINAL FOUR game with NC State in it. Pretty big deal since NC State was a big long shot. The whole country is going nuts over this game and we made reservations and had a great seat in front of the tv. After watching the TV in front of us that was on Cheddar News, while having a drink and appetizers, asked our server if she could turn the game on. Her response was "I'll try". She said the bartender would get to it, she's kind of busy. So a couple minutes til tip-off and the bartender came over and tried to get the tv to work and kept getting a "no signal" message. She gave up and went to the bar never even acknowledging us. Soooo this is supposed to be a sports bar. Zero effort to make sure the biggest game of the year is on for the patrons. Very disappointing. Food and drinks here are really good. If they could only get their shit together on the sports stuff, this would be an awesome place. Sad. read more

As locals we go there often. It's reliable, the menu is simple pub style and good, the service is excellent. They have a nice regular bar crowd that enjoys the simple social bar conversation. Try their sauteed mushrooms as a side dish no mater what you order. read more

classic family friendly restaurant. great prices and great service. had the salmon and it was to die for. would recommend to anyone

Great food and drinks. Very comfortable at atmosphere. The wings are the best in town.

Fish and chips. Really? Was it just an off evening, or does the fish always taste, look, and turn out to be as hard to cut as cardboard? The chips weren't bad. The service was good. But dayum! read more

Greasy, greasy, greasy to sum it up. Yes, we knew it was pub food but our food was dripping with oil. The first thing that hits you as you walk in the door is the smell of cooking oil as it permeates everything. We had the fried mushroom appetizer with horseradish sauce. The sauce was better than the shrooms. The hubs insisted on ordering lobster bisque . It was tasted like some kind of reconstituted powder or from a bag. The taste of onion was so strong it was more reminiscent of a New England Clam chowder base with added pieces of lobster.. I'll cut them some slack as it's not a seafood place nor do they claim that it's made fresh in-house. The hubs had a cheeseburger made with fresh beef but lacked seasoning with smashed red ( insipid) boiled potatoes. I had a lackluster patty melt that tasted like the greasy grill it was fried on. No salt but at the onions were cooked and The meat was so overcooked that it looked like a frozen patty. I can't say for sure, but it did not taste like fresh beef. Underwhelming but pretty reasonably priced. I would not mind paying more for a better meal. I think a little deep cleaning and better training for the fry cook and they would be much off. The servers were courteous I don't think we will be back unless they improve. read more

Love this place. Friendly, good food, and usually tries to fit every one in. Sometimes a lil loud but it is a sports bar..

The wings and steak and the ribs were the best thing I've ever had. And the service is great it just takes a while to get used to them.

Food was great, space was awesome. You seat yourself so that's always nice. Service was great, our server was so kind and very attentive, checked on us just the right amount. Food was perfectly proportionate. read more

We have been going to spunky for years last night was horrible the waitress Courtney was rude and would not take orders or do refills they went and served other customers that came way after we arrived the spunky burger I love was burnt to a crisp should have left when I seen the B rating from the health department. Said that it's going down hill was a nice restaurant. But the new servers are rude and ignore you. read more

We have dinner from Spunky's almost weekly. Great food and service every single time!

Plain bar food done well. Lots of regulars and it's busy even on early weeknights. So far, I've enjoyed fish and chips, chicken salad sandwich, and various burgers. Salad is so often an afterthought but their salads are done quite well. I'll be a regular soon enough! read more

86.5 Rating from the health department. Overcooked, overfried, cold food. McDonald's would have been better.

I ordered a hamburger and fries, a great food item. My wife and I were seated near the window facing the street so we couldn't see the rest of the restaurant except for the main centrally located bar. Service was attentive. Arrive early to get a table without the wait. read more

Saw this place in Yelp as a local favorite so decided to give it a try cause it was close after a long day of driving. It's a small place but everyone very friendly. We had the mild wings, nachos, and a large house salad. The portion size was good. Everything was good and the prices were exceptionally reasonable. The beer was also a great price. Not sure when or if we will get to this area again but if we do we will come back. read more

Would have rated 5/5, but they were out of 3 things we asked for, and I do understand the earlier hurricane plays a factor, but even before the hurricane, this was something that's happened multiple times... Otherwise this place is amazing, food was cooked well, tasted great, service is good, and all in all was a great experience. read more

This restaurant only has a higiene rating of 83%. You should see their kitchen, especially the floor. Disgusting! Restrooms by the kitchen. Food looks ok but definitely not tasty. Also not a place for children after 7:30pm. read more

Food is good. The only problem is parking and getting a table. That should tell you how good it is.

Our last time here was great...I came back for the special of the day, chicken pot pie. I arrived here before 5:00 pm to find out that they were out of the special of the day. Really?!?!?! If you have a special going, it should last until dinner. read more

Went here to watch NCAA Elite 8 game. Called ahead to get a reservation and make sure we had a table near a TV and the games would be on. Had to ask 3 or 4 times to get the games on and one employee was snippy about it. Food and wait staff were fine, but they hurried us out when we planned on watching the entire NC State game. Wouldn't recommend as a place to watch a game. read more

Great food and great service in a friendly atmosphere. Good place to take the family for some comfort food. Highly recommend the Shepherds Pie. read more

Great little Pub style restaurant. Parking is very limited so if you have a smaller vehicle drive that.
