All made by the same chef that's been there 16 years. The food was delicious and the fried chicken tasted like my mama's (which is a very high compliment!) $20 for two meals. We were there in October so Halloween was everywhere from tablecloths with pumpkin pictures to tall spooky looking characters scattered around. The service was great also. We enjoyed our time at Papa Tom's!

While visiting family in Lumberton, we decided to try out some of the local eateries. This morning…read morewe saw a few Yelp reviews for Jeff's Corner Cafe that looked good and it was right down the street from our Airbnb so we decided to give it a try for breakfast. The first thing you should know about this restaurant is the name is actually Jay's Country Kitchen. I tell you this because I don't want you not stopping because it doesn't say Jeff's outside. Any who. What great breakfast. I'm from the South and have had my share of grits but what they do here with grits is freaking incredibly delicious. I literally don't have the words to describe how great they are to eat. Just trust me. Get the grits. The eggs were expertly cooked and liver pudding was perfectly spicy and meaty. The linked sausages were also fantastic. This will be our go to place for breakfast the next time we are visiting family here. Highly recommend.

Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!
