This one has the best Lox and Cream cheese/Bagel in town!! Thinly sliced onion, a sprinkle of dill, GOBS of fluffy cream cheese, a fresh bagle -- I prefer not toasted, and layers and layers of paperthin Smoked Salmon!! actually One Sandwich is enough for two people -- or lunch the next day! -- and if you're thinking about Breakfast the next morning ... their muffins float off the tray!! HUGE, fluffy, warm --- and add a cup of coffee and you're good to go!

Restaurant at the Tryon Palace Historic Center in New Bern, NC
Reviewed By Stucolco
Between touring Tryon Palace and the 2 houses that are also part of the package, my wife and I decided to eat here. We had one of the quiches of the day, ham and cheese which was very tasty. We also had strawberry lemonade which I feel is too costly at $4 a glass especially when there are no free refills. Our server Kayla was very good and did explain the no refill policy to us but I ordered a second one anyway. My wife got water instead.

We enjoyed dining here overlooking the river. The service was very good.The menu is limited with not a large selection. My husband enjoyed his fried green tomato /pimiento cheese sandwich and I had a brisket sandwich. Both were good. The house chips/sauce were just okay. Later on we went back to have a cocktail on the patio which was nice. Bartender did a good job with drinks as they weren't on the menu.

Bakers Kitchen is always a must visit eatery. Our yearly visit to New Bern took us to Bakers Kitchen on the second morning. As always we we promptly greeted and seated. Staff feel like family. Restaurant is clean and well maintained. Food is fresh, hot and tasty. The butter syrup is great. Will go back again next year.

We stopped in for ice cream and wound up getting lunch after seeing their menu. The decor is soda Shoppe, but needs updating. There's a play area in the back for kids, so I guess the place is geared to them. The food was ok and they have a good selection of ice cream.

Had dinner with friends. Three orders of the catfish and chips. Really good with the Jamaican kick to the tarter sauce which worked really well. One flounder and chips which was tasty. The fries (chips) were hand cut. Thinner and dusted with tasty spices. The final order was the Crabby Patty (melt). Tasty warm and filling. Located on the Main Street in New Bern. Lots of other restaurants in a several block radius. (Just down the block- drugstore where Pepsi-cola was âinvented â)

Going into this restaurant was a pleasant supply. The outside is deceiving. It is much larger than appears. The ambience is great. Service was good except when time to pay, they forgot us! Luckily we were in no hurry. Though I had to watch what I was eating, the menu was diverse enough to find something mild. Had the fish taco and it was excellent. Would love to return and try some of the other menu items. Their Carmel sauce for the sweet potato fries is outstanding though a little sweet for me. Table mates really enjoyed it. Sandwiches are huge and can be shared. Would definitely return.

Needed a quick light lunch during our day trip to New Bern. Docents at the Firemanâs Museum sent us down the block to Chelsea for their Shrimp & Grits. Bit heavier than we needed so tried the soup and salad. Crab soup was to die for. Apollonian salad was perfect and the crock of French Onion soup was more than delicious. Also tried the Chicken Salad platter. Just what we were looking for.Right after we placed the order, the lights went out. Krissyti never missed a beat and assured us the soups were already heated! The light open feel of the bistro was no problem with seeing and we never noticed when the lights came back on just in time to run our credit card. Need to come back and try those Shrimp & Grits!Jeanne & Gil & MarilynnThe Grey Gourmets
