    Such a cute spot that was recommended by a friend. Arrived and was immediately greeted and picked a seat. Menus were already on the table and the server came right over to help me. I decided on the chicken avocado melt and fries with garlic aioli and it was ready to eat before I could start scrolling on my phone. The sandwich was hot n fresh and the fries with the sauce were crispy and delicious. Good gluten free options including gf bread and homemade sourdough bread. The server remembered I mentioned work and brought the check quickly and said I could scan the QR code to pay or go the register. Fast. Friendly. Good food. What more could you want??

    Ordered takeout today. The menu is very deceiving. I ordered a Chefs Breakfast Bowl (not a biscuit bowl) and was just given a biscuit and gravy with a folded egg, for $15. Ordered the fresh fruit and was given fried apples (fried apples are not fresh fruit). Both of these items are things I don't eat. They should let people know what is in the items on their menu. Attached are photos. Update, THANK YOU for responding to my feedback. I used your online menu because you stated in a review a month ago, that your online menu is the most accurate. If I had known what the Chefs Breakfast bowl was, I would have tried one of your avocado toasts instead (something I know I could eat). I will update this review if I go back.

    I love this place! I have been here two or three times now. I have been with a friend friend and I have also been on a double date. This is such a great lunch spot. I love the amazing offerings for entrées as well as sides. The ambience of the restaurant is also really cute - it is warm and inviting. It is a fun place to take people, especially people visiting the area. The only thing that is a little strange is having to figure out that you order the food yourself at the register but once you know that it is totally fine. happy this place came Winterville.

    That was the best restaurant experience i've ever had. The staff were so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They had the most amazing menu with natural ingredients. You can tell they are really passionate about clean food and we need more of that in Greenville! I would drive 3 hours just to go to this restaurant. Definitely a hidden gem that deserves all the business! Best experience ever! Will be back!!

    Oh man! Why oh why did I wait so long to try this place?! It is TOP tier. I have not found a better sandwich in Greenville, and certainly gives a run for its money to Triangle place I've tried. It is a beautiful place. Shaina has done a beautiful job making it look both inviting and cozy as well as aesthetically pleasing. It is boho and mid-century with lots of plants. Stunning! Shaina and husband, Matt are easy going and easy to talk to. Their passion for customer care is evident and just sitting there watching interactions, I noticed lots of regulars and friendly relationships with patrons. We all chatted at length too! The food was unexpectedly tasty. I had no idea. I got a simple chicken and bacon and avocado with side salad at about 11:31 and by 11:38, my brain exploded (in the best possible way). The flavors!! Parmesan crusting in the bread, each element of the sandwich imbued with careful flavor attention. Even the blue cheese for my salad had stone ground mustard in it - I've never had that - and it was great! Moved in to coffee and a cinnamon roll, which obviously revived me from the dead and filled me with the joy of 1,000 suns. It was so good! I am already planning to be back next week as I conveniently scheduled a meeting there....or should I say...meating!

    Spectacular place for an upper end brunch. Ordered two entrees because I couldn't decide - both were excellent. Dirty Chai was top notch and I order that everywhere I go. (Also the fanciest I have ever been served.). Owner was proud of her food, service and place - and she should be. Came over and spoke for a bit. Definitely be here again next visit to Greenville.

    This is a hidden diamond. Unassuming strip mall on the outside, but elevated food preparation here. Worth a visit if you are in Greenville.

    Oh how I want to give this 5 starts SO badly!!! My kids and I have been trying different spots as…read morewe're new to the area and breakfast is there favorite meal. We ordered the trifecta (waffle, eggs, bacon), kids pancake (cc pancake, sausage, fruit, OJ), kids eggs and sausage and an extra side of fruit. It was delivered quick and everything (aside from that 1 sausage that looks slightly overcooked) was fresh and hot!! I'll start with the positive- that OJ was so fresh, I wish I had known how good it was going to be because I would've ordered 3 more!! The bacon was cooked perfectly, the pancake was huge, cooked well and had a great pancake/ choc chip ratio, the eggs were still soft and the waffle was soft and very tasty! Whatever the berry compote was that came with the waffle, was amazing!!! Seriously, so good. The downside- I can't review the fruit at all... because it was completely missing. The fruit side with the kids meal and the full extra fruit side i ordered were both absent. A bummer as our kids do love their fruit, but DoorDash made it right which I appreciate. Can't speak to service or atmosphere of the restaurant itself since we didn't dine in. Overall, this place was great, and we will 100% be eating it again! Knocking 1 star off just since the fruit to the kids meal and the extra side of it was missing, but I'll update my review next time we eat!

    Our party called ahead the day before visiting the restaurant for Wednesday reservations. We were…read moretold to arrive around 9am the next morning. After arriving a few minutes early we were told it would be "a bit" before they could seat us. "A bit" turned out to be more than an hour and even then they sat us at multiple tables throughout the restaurant. After being seated, we were promptly ignored. Fifteen more minutes went by before our sullen, unpleasant server took our drink orders and eventually our breakfast orders. She was not only extremely slow and inattentive, but blatantly disrespectful to one member of our party by rolling her eyes and making gestures when she thought we couldn't see her. Once our order was placed, we waited then waited more. We had decided to leave if our food had not arrived by 12pm and go to Bojangles in Vanceboro, but at 11:50, over three hours after arriving, our food finally showed up. My omelet was enormous and overflowing with ground sausage. It was OK, but would have been better with less sausage. My shredded hash browns were cold. The biscuit that accompanied the omelet was cold and hard. My dining companion liked her french toast, but noted her eggs, though properly prepared over medium, were cold. Same goes for her home fries. However, the buttery syrup, served with her french toast, was served warm and was absolutely amazing. Wow! It made my biscuit edible and was the best part of our meals. The restaurant is attached to a hardware store in a rural part of Craven County. It definitely has a country vibe and was spotless. Incredibly slow and disrespectful service combined with OK-at-best food make it difficult to recommend Voder's Dutch Pantry in any capacity to anyone.

The server was attentive, but not overly friendly. The food was enjoyable; with the French Toast being the highlight. The bacon and eggs were good but the biscuits and gravy were rather average; although the portion size was large they were a bit doughy and flat. Pricing and value was good. Food **** Service *** Ambiance *** Cleanliness ***** Value ***** Would I go back? Yes Should you go? Yes, it's worth the visit and experience.

His simple ass kept asking me what was wrong with it and I had to break it down like I was talking to a toddler. He was also either sick at work or had put some snow up is nose, because he was sniffling and snorting every two seconds. They aren't concerned about selling spoiled meats, apparently. Jacob and May are absolutely worthless and one way or another, Bagelman is going to make you sick. Quick reminder of their Health Department violations: VIOLATIONS Proper cooling methods used; adequate equipment for temperature control Food separated & protected Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean Proper cold holding temperatures Handwashing sinks supplied & accessible Edit after Bagelman's response: I think the fact that they think this was just a complaint about their bacon shows that they genuinely don't comprehend food safety. And I absolutely told you what you could go do - this was after being told that you didn't understand what the problem was and I said that you need to check food quality because you're going to make people sick. Notice how I never asked for a refund? I was calling to keep you from making your customers sick, and taking ANY accountability was well beyond your capabilities. A decent business would be concerned with selling rancid products - and Jason didn't know the word "rancid", btw. You can literally see the photo. That isn't what bacon is supposed to look like, my guy. Worse, there's no way it didn't look or smell off before it was prepared and put on a sandwich. But by all means, respond with something else showing exactly how obtuse you are. And other customers: All of the violations listed are public record. They're literally available on this app.
