Sweet unassuming cafe. Daily menus provided along with historical facts for that particular day. Wide selection - salads, sandwiches, seafood, and entrees. Daily specials relate to at least one of the historical facts. Waterfront Plymouth, NC.
Restaurant is in an old store front in historic Plymouth, NC. Looks like the town is working on revitalizing. The interior of the restaurant is a bit hodge podge which is part of the charm. We ordered fried chicken with baked mac & cheese, fried squash and a biscuit, bowtie pasta alfredo including grilled chicken, carrots and broccoli with a side salad, grilled chicken sandwich & fries and ceasar salad. Everything was very good - pasta and fried chicken entrees were like eating at Grandma's. Definitely worth stopping there when in the area.
Oh, and DESSERTS! Got the lemon mist cake, peach cobbler and cheesecake. Make room for dessert.
Also, nice walk to the light house and museums along Roanoke River. Get off the beaten path, and stop in.
If you're on your way to the Outer Banks on highway 64 its a great stop, just off the highway in downtown Plymouth. Â There aren't many options, outside of your standard fast food joints along the route from the I-95 (just west of Rocky Mount) to the Outer Banks along 64 so if you're in the area when they are open, definitely stop by. Â
Friendly service will await you and a good menu full of standard lunch fare or some southern/coastal favorites for dinner. Â I'm not sure if they are still doing the crab dip or not, but it was faaaaantastic when they were...
Plymouth is a small town along the Roanoke River. Â The historic downtown is two streets that have managed to keep the majority of the buildings intact and in good condition. Â
The Garden Spot Cafe is clearly a preferred destination. Â It was packed for lunch. Â Typical Southern hospitality and simple food. Â We enjoyed the kind service and appreciated that in spite of it having a "corner" on the dining options, they still brought out a few unusual offerings.
