My Heavenly Hash Bowl was not very flavorful. The potatoes arrived cold and not fully cooked. I didn't like it and didn't eat much beyond the egg and avocado ingredients.

The service was very friendly and fast, and I can truly said, it is where the locals eat. But... the food was just not that good - my husband and I were both disappointed. His fried chicken sandwich ($11) was 2 chicken fingers on a bun with a slice of American cheese and toppings. The chicken was like chicken nugget meat, not real chicken tenders. The fresh tomato slice on the sandwich was the best part. The fries were basic - crinkle fries. I ordered a pick 4 veggie plate. The fried okra and fried squash were pretty good. The green beans were fine, and the Mac and cheese looked and tasted just like box Mac n cheese. Overall, it was just ok. Honestly I'm a little surprised by the positive reviews. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? Either way, this will probably not be a repeat place for me.

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

Delicious. Next was the cheese board, we were warned that it was a large serving, and while it had a lot of variety, I don't think it was massive based on other cheese boards we had. We split the Korean chicken and skirt steak. Both were exceptional!! When we're back in the area, we'll definitely plan to visit multiple times during our trip. My only complaint was how tightly packed seats are in the cellar. The table directly behind us was sat a few minutes after we were and the guests were VERY loud, so it was hard to hear each other in the small space. Not a knock on P&P, just people not being able to read a room and realize they were disturbing guests around them.

The place was very clean and well maintained. Food: We were blown away by the food. I was amazed by what we ordered. My husband had their 'Monte Cristo' sandwich and LOVED it. He said it was the best sandwich he's ever had. I had their 'Catfish & Grits' which were delicious. It was packed with so much flavor. I loved the pickled onions that came on top of the dish. The catfish and grits dish hit all the tasting notes. It was sweet, savory, and a little sour with the pickled onions. I LOVED it. We will definitely be back during our trip in North Carolina. We've been to several Michelin star and recommended restaurants and Pure & Proper should be on the list!

Most got some form of coffee, both hot and iced. I heard a few sat one coffee was much better hot than cold, but not being a coffee drinker I can't remember which one it was. The hot drinks I saw had cute designs on top such as hearts and faces. This added to the fun of drinking the coffee. We will probably stop here again when we come through.
