We were celebrating a special event and we certainly chose the perfect spot! Everyone at our table loved their dishes. We had a variety : crabcakes, beef filet, scallops and lamb chops. All delicious. It's a small, intimate dining room with a full wine menu, white table cloths and excellent service.
The next morning we returned for breakfast which was included with our stay, expecting a muffin or bagel and coffee. To our surprise and pleasure, breakfast may have begun with a muffin, coffee and a smoothie, but that was just the first course. The server then came to take our orders for the next course which was a full hot breakfast. Let me recommend the freshly prepared french toast with sausage or the hearty eggs, grits, bacon and toast.
The Table is a treat well worth repeating.

This was really spacious for a coffee shop. We stopped in for a late afternoon cup of coffee and dessert. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. We noticed a local community group meeting at a large front table. It was obvious that they felt very welcome in this establishment and were overheard thanking the owners for such hospitality. The coffee was quite good, and the variety of beverages rivaled the largest coffee chains. Wish I'd discovered this shop earlier in my visit as I'd have tried their breakfast.

Place is clean. People nice. The burgers are good. The chicken fingers are dry. The food is expensive for the area. Sandwich combo 7 and 8 dollars with tax. The do have $5 lunch special and a 1/3 burger lunch special which is great deal. They need to get internet for customers and I would be here more often.

Going by "The Coffee House" This the place you go to meet the friendliest movers and shakers of this small town. One of the oldest towns in America, far too many details to go into here, Google " Edenton N.C." The coffee was excellent, I had bagel wife had muffin, both fresh that morning. Got the run of what to do and see in and around town. Perfect first stop in a new town.

We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday while driving by Edenton. We were impressed with the nice town and its history. The restaurant was a nice surprise and we enjoyed it. We had a window table and ordered the Cuban Reuben which comes on toasted sour dough bread and the Cole Slaw (which is non mayonnaise based) and the Smoked Salmon BLT with Potato salad. Our waitress told us they smoke their own Salmon for the dish and both sandwiches were very good as was the Cole Slaw. We enjoyed our brief visit and most likely will come back when in the area.

Waterman's Grill is located on the main street of this lovely old Southern town just a short walk from the waterfront on the sound. We arrived relative early, 5:30 on a Sunday evening and found it quite busy but could be seated immediately in the dinning room upstairs area. The decor of interesting,pleasant and nautical. The menu offers Southern dishes, seafood, burgers and sandwiches. We had a single crab cake with fries both of which were especially tasty. The crab cake was had a high crab content and was huge. The fries were crispy on the outside and very good. Service was very friendly and prompt. We do suggest to avoid a wait going early to Waterman's Grill as they do not take reservations. Good food and service, friendly people and moderate prices!

Locals suggested we eat here. They said it had good down-home cooking. After having dinner there with a group of friends, I must disagree it was not good - it was GREAT down-home cooking. The decor is nothing fancy, so dress casually when you go...MoreThank You, Carol!! We are glad to have contributed to a great visit to Edenton!!
