I keep forgetting about this tiny jewel in Kinston. I've been to this place one other time and have…read morehad fond memories of each trip. I have not had the pleasure of eating my way through their menu, since tonight was only my second trip. But I will say that each time I've gotten ice cream from here it's been really good. My husband tried the "Heath Bar Blast" and said it was better than what Dairy Queen makes. If you're looking for a ceiling-to-floor list of frozen treats that drives you insane when trying to make a decision, keep driving; I'm sure you'll find a Dairy Queen or something of the sort 30 minutes east on 70. This place is more of a mom-n-pop shop, which is a pleasant reminder to seasonal travelers that "The small town of Kinston is here!" Some amenities: several patio tables with umbrellas, a couple of cafe tables and chairs inside, and the best part....a drive thru! My only gripe is that it's cash only. I'm surprised to find that this place wasn't "on the map" yet. Glad I could change that :-)

This is my second - and last - time patronizing the grade-B coffee house…read more I paid $3.05 for a 3 inch tall cup of coffee, and it was strong enough to wake the dead, and not in a good way. It was stale, bitter, and bitter, and tasted like coffee that has set out for 2 hours. Do they have a shelf life for their coffee? I ask this because the last time I came here the coffee was bitter, bitter, and stale. The girls working there are not cheery, not accommodating, and upright. Because I am not a good-looking guy, they give me grade-C treatment.

Good food at a value price. I tried the hot dog itself with ketchup and mustard. For what it was it…read morewas decent for the price especially in the city of Kinston. The Smoked Sausage was good surprise, nice flavors and fulfilling. The onions didnt add much to the experience but they gave a nice crunch for added texture. The Nachos were the weakest part of the meal while definitely looking the part the cheese lacked a depth of flavor and consistency you would want out of this guilty pleasure. Overall the price is what makes this a four star establishment. The focus on takeout may leave a lot desired in ambience and atmosphere but the food is good and offers a ton of value if you just want a hot dog or are looking for another fast food spot for lunch.
