Leslie Wheat's initial response to our inquiry was fast and we knew right away that we were in for a treat. Initially scheduled for September, Hurricane Florence had other plans. We reschedule for May, 2019 and enjoyed some very tasty and plentiful food. Our reunions are held annually and this was better than many sit down dinners we've had. Nothing but compliments from all of our attendees. Thank You Leslie Wheat and Two Chefs.

I needed to time it for pickup, and he met me at Coastal Cravin' Bagelry to deliver. It was still cold, so I didn't' have to worry about food getting warm or spoiling. Additionally, between emails and texts, they kept me apprised of the order being accepted, and then completed. So, very excellent communication! Overall, we enjoyed a great charcuterie that was fresh, filling, beautiful, and made my wife happy! We still have leftovers that we'll enjoy later. Thanks Mike and Brittany!

As an exhibitor, I found the new agricultural and convention center easy to find, easy access off of Hwy 70 and Wayne Memorial Drive exit. There is plenty of safe parking available in a dedicated lot. The facility is new, clean, and modern looking. There are information screens throughout to help with wayfinding. The staff appeared dutiful, particularly the break room hosts/snack security. The Maxwell is serious about no outside food and drinks. The restrooms are large and very clean. While we utiilized a large exhibit hall space, like most convention centers the size of the space can be adjusted to accommodate your event needs. Smaller break out meeting rooms are also available.

We were upstairs and I'm not sure what is downstairs - if anything, but they did have stairs and an elevator for your choosing. It is located right in downtown New Bern so there are options if you want to eat or go out for drinks before or after. The ballroom it's self was set up with tables due to the reception but it is very spacious and has lots of windows that could be put to use. It has plenty of bathrooms that are accessible and overall a large, beautiful place to host or attend an event!

We decided to take a small weekend getaway to check out the local hidden gems in the small country…read moretown of Kinston NC. Home to Mother Earth Brewery and The Chef and the Farmer, Kinston is a growing town with a bright future ahead! I'll be honest, lodging is not something Kinston has much of. Outside of a pretty ritzy boutique hotel, there isn't much else. When we called to make reservations at aforementioned boutique hotel, we were so bummed to find it was booked. However, we were informed that the hotel owners had partnered with Mother Earth Brewery to renovate an old hotel in the area within walking distance of the brewery and it would be open for business April 2017. As if that wasn't exciting enough, it would be 1970s themed! Shut up and take my money! Upon arrival, you may be alarmed to find that the room doors open to the outside. DONT PANIC! Most of the rooms are not accessible from the outside. You have to enter from the interior perimeter of the building. The outside doors have been sealed shut but we're left to maintain the original charm of the building. For additional security, there are gates keeping unwanted guests on the exterior perimeter of the motel. You must use your room key to get through the gate. They do have a few rooms on the first floor, outside corners, that do open into the parking lot. They also have a few rooms that are pet friendly! The room is decorated in bright orange, red, and green true to 70s fashion. It was spotless upon arrival and smelled clean. We opted for the larger room with a living area. They did a great job with the 70s decor. True to the 70s but not gaudy or silly. The king size bed is a little firm, but I indeed slept like a baby. Our room also has painted pictures of local landmarks. So far so good in this groovy hotel!
