Loved this place. I nearly at my self to explosion here. 2 appetizers and 2 entrees all in my belly. Loved it. Very stylish restaurant. with artsy decor. Service was great. I had the THAI mint chicken salad. Very different but incredibly good. Fried calimari was in a tempura batter and although very good it was my least favorite thing. For entrees I had Drunken Noodles with chicken and it was one of the better iterations I've had. Not too sweet with a good amount of spice and lots of veggies. I also had the Kapow Perfect and it was very tasty.

My wife and I spent 3 days here and had an awesome time. We frequent B&Bs all over the country and this was one of the best we've ever been to. It had all the amenities you could possibly want (down to an incredible single serve coffee machine straight out of Starbucks 2020) without losing too much of the B&B feel. The breakfasts were 4 course affairs and left us stuffed (and we have big appetites). The rooms were all quite nice. We stayed in the Virginia Dare room which I'd imagine could get quite hot in the summer but was PERFECT when we stayed in late November. It's location is also great for walks to the coast (not beach front though) and through the quaint town of Manteo. They even have guest bikes (including the two seater) that are free to use.

Only potential drawback is that it's run TOO professionally. What I mean by that is that it's definitely not a ma and pa B&B....this thing is a business run a little more like a hotel. The person who is the hostess is younger and while very friendly isn't the owner or the cook. That didn't bother us but I know some people like their B&Bs to be 'authentic.'

EASILY my favorite restaurant in Athens. EASILY. If I could give it the first, second, and third placing I would. The decor is really cool...almost like you've been transported to the Middle East. There are frequently Belly Dancers who will come to the table to add some entertainment. And the food...it's good. Everything I've had here is excellent. The salads are interesting and kebabs are cooked perfectly (unlike most places which overcook kebabs). Only drawback is it's a little pricey for the serving size. If you have a big appetite like me prepare to eat several small plates and a main course.

Not a huge fan. I really wanted to like this place but nothing was all that great. The best thing was the appetizer. We had the appetizer sampler and I liked the Satay and mint rolls. Overall even that was a little greasy. I ordered Pho and it was not good. Not good. In fact, I can still taste the not-goodness of it. The service was good.

Up-scalish diner with decent food and a cool vibe. I've been here several times and I love their spin on old school diner food. The meatloaf is excellent and I had one of the best pork loins I've EVER eaten in my life here. It was cooked to perfection....juicy on the inside bordering on a hint of pink.

As far as airport restaurants go, this place is quite good. Compared to a non-airport restaurant though, it's nothing special. In there favor they have some creative and healthy selections (as well as some insanely unhealthy desert selections). Wait staff was fast, attentive and friendly....things which are quite important when eating in an airport. I'll continue popping in when in the B concourse but the high prices and just slightly above average food prevent me from giving this 4 stars.

HELLZYEAH. This place is awesome. Incredible. I've been craving it since my last visit. It's the best deli outside of NYC that I've ever (EVAR!) been to. They load on the meat and serve it in creative combinations with veggies and sauces. If I lived in Wilmington I would eat here several times a day.

Food was good. Coffee was excellent. Overall vibe was cool. I've eaten here a couple times. There's outside seating which is always a plus (although it is in a strip mall). There pancakes are better than average but nothing spectacular. Omelettes are great but the potatoes that come with it need some kick. A cool place, check it out. Show owner comment »

Awesome. Really enjoyed the BBQ here. In fact, it's the best Eastern NC BBQ I've ever had. It was delish. I had the BBQ plate, a pulled pork sandich with slaw and Brunswick stew. Everything was very good. Even the hush puppies were excellent....crispy on the outside, melt in your mouth inside without being overly greasy. If you get a chance, eat outside under the Big Oak. It's a good experience. The only deduction comes for the staff. Kind of seemed inconvenienced when I walked in 30 minutes before closing. And then told me the dining room was closed. Bah.

I'm with Brian Y. I hate this airport. Probably one of my least favorite in the entire country. It's old. The bathrooms are rarely clean. The signage is poor. The food options are getting better but are still below par. And worst of all, Philly tends to get terrible thunderstorms so I always get stuck here for long layovers.
