Hoppin' Johnz

We had steak and hoppin john, the food was every bit as good as I had heard. The sauce on the steak was absolutely delicious. The waitress was wonderful, and helped us in ordering, recommending the cake, which was also really nice.

On your way to or from highway 17 best bang for your buck money could buy A+ all the way around Southern charm hospitality, and charisma. Above and beyond the staff have gone to create such a welcome. The smell of the food gets you going and when you bite into it it makes you realize something good is on the way and when you bite on to it, you discover that it is beyond what you would imagine and is on a different level.

This was our first time exploring Elizabeth City and we needed a family friendly restaurant for a late lunch. I’m so thrilled that we stumbled into this gem of a restaurant. Although a little on the pricey side, the food was absolutely delicious and the service good. We ordered the chicken and waffles, beet salad with shrimp, sweet potato fries, and a jerk chicken salad. All was absolutely hot, fresh, and delicious. Not a morsel was left on anyone’s plate. I would definitely come back! Highly recommend.

On a business trip to the area and chose Hoppin’ Johnz because of the reviews and we typically go for this type of menu. The food was delicious from the beginning. BBQ Shrimp appetizer had a very yummy smoky flavor and the goat cheese mixed greens salad was literally one of my favorite restaurant salads to date! The gumbo was also delicious… easily top 5 outside of NOLA; and we go annually! Our waitress was awesome as well. Very friendly, checked on us frequently and actually made the salad recommendation for me.

Food was amazing. I had the Salmon as a main dish. Dimly lit in the evening. We also had cheese fries and shrimp appetizers.
