Stopped in for a quick lunch and my wife had the chicken salad wrap which turned out to be big enough for two. I went with the grilled chicken salad and the chicken was perfectly cooked. They have many choices and they change daily. Check them out on facebook for their daily menus. Don't forget those desserts.

Enjoyed our visit to Ribeye's and the town of Washington, NC. Washington is a small pretty town, a little sleepy, waiting to be discovered, this restaurant should help. Located behind the main street at a waterfront area with generous parking. We chose to dine outside, as the evening sun set we lost our porch shade and the sun was strong. Inside looks very nice with lots of booths. Full bar inside also. Good selection of beers on tap. We had the daily special with a small steak, sides and salad bar. All the food and service was very good. Also enjoyed walking the waterfront after dinner. Good food, nice location.

We are the oldest restaurant in Downtown Washington area, established 1994. We offer one of a kind burgers, salads and great specials made by our highly qualify culinary staff.
Reviewed By SCBlossom
We had heard this much loved restaurant was under new ownership but were shocked. They were not busy but we could not get waited on nor could anyone else. Customers were walking out. We should have joined them. Three sandwiches and 3 glasses of tea took 1 1/2 hours. The staff and owners kept telling everyone that they apologized for the wait but nobody ever went to assist the kitchen staff in getting the food out. They offered a free dessert but who knows how long that would have taken!The food was ok but not great. The muffins tasted like a mix and the chicken salad was not good.

Good BBQ, fried chicken, and sides. And one of the best flounder sandwiches Iâve ever had (the secret=good fish, great bun). Quick counter service too. Only complaint is styrofoam plates and plastic forks.

We've been to The Hackney a number of times since it opened earlier this year. Other than the usual inevitable missteps of a newly-opened fine dining restaurant, we have enjoyed every visit. The plates are beautiful, the ingredients are locally sourced, the staff is friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is simply stunning.Chef Jamie Davis is at his best with creative seafood dishes in my opinion, but the steaks and chops have been delicious too. Highlights are any pan seared fish with any prep, and of course the delicious sticky toffee pudding.Great for a romantic dinner date, or a night out with friends. The wine list is wonderful and the craft cocktails are too. It's a bit pricey, but that's fine dining.Thank you Alexis for your support over the last few months and for taking the time to write us a such a nice review!

I'd been wanting to try this place for awhile and was excited to find it open last Saturday afternoon. The wait was reasonable and the line moved fast. Apparently there is always a line! The service (counter service only) and the prices were great. We got the "special" of 2 dogs, chips and a drink and were completely happy. The buns were steamed "melt in your mouth" soft, and the spicy white bean chili was to die for! Make it a point to stop into Bill's the next time you are in "little" Washington, NC. You'll love yourself for it!

Outstanding laid back restaurant with Tiki bar and entertainment on the water.
Reviewed By Cheryl G
Our party of 2 scored big with seating on the 2nd floor deck directly overlooking the boat ramp, bridge and views of the Pamlico. The specialty drinks rocked ...and we both ordered/enjoyed the mahi mahi tacos with sweet potato fries. Note that open air dining means dealing with the flies but they were not too obnoxious. Also a newcomer note: this place only accepts cash or checks but they do have an ATM so all is not lost if you forget your cash.

Reviewed By GWR757
Having had a couple of mediocre experiences at another downtown Washington (NC) restaurant, we sought out Grub Brothers. The restaurant was reasonably quiet, probably because it was after the nonn time rush. The "build-your-own-salad" plate turned out to be a really good choice - good chicken salad and potato salad. The oyster po-boy was pretty good as well although I would have preferred to have the roll warm or toasted. The oysters were plenitful but would have benefited from a little less cooking time and fresher cooking oil.

I found this great little restaurant today while running errands in town. I am new to the area, and just stopped here because it was close by. My server was so pleasant and attentive! She seemed knowledgeable of the menu and had some good recommendations. I had the grilled tuna wrap and sweet potato chips. It was a great meal!
