Kitchen On Trent

We stopped by to get food before hitting the road again. The cashier was polite and the restaurant was clean and very simple. I got the ham sandwich and the honey mustard tasted good, nothing extraordinary.

Before you read this, let me point out to you that Yelp is not nearly so kind as the current 4.1 rating and I'd also check that out before ordering here. My wife who is going to get hip replacement surgery soon recently got food delivered from this establishment. She had three or four deliveries and was initially very pleased. However, this last experience was so overwhelmingly disgusting (and unsanitary) , we're never going back and I have to give this establishment a "one" star rating. Today my wife ordered a salmon salad for lunch. There were specific instruction to cook the salmon “well done.” The salmon was delivered raw, contaminating the whole salad so she couldn’t salvage any any of it. The owner/manager’s response was to tell her to stick it in the microwave for a second or tw

This place is such a great hole in the wall and staple of New Bern. If a person is looking for a comfortable meal with quality food and a relaxing atmosphere that is not too fancy, this is the well established place the locals like to come.

I read the recent reviews and have to say our 1st time experience here was wonderful. The pancake came with fruitcup and we ordered a side of sausage. It was very tasty, the pancakes were fluffy (see my accompanying pics). The Egg Special was especially delicious with the spinach wrap. The order came out quickly and the staff was very friendly. The variety of coffee hit the spot. We both enjoyed reading the various free magazines and local newspaper. A nice break instead of staring at our cellphones - Lol :-)

Simply put this place doesn't meet any criteria I have for a return visit. We ordered pancakes w/ a sausage side and a ham & cheese omelet. Food was terrible - no way to sugar coat it. My omelet had little holes throughout most likely due to over spraying with some oil or butter. The cheese was some horrible congealed mass that lacked any taste - the egg had no taste either. Overall I finished less than half. In all my travels this was the worst omelet I've ever had! If you cannot get the simple stuff done well, why would I trust you on the more complicated dishes? I tried my son's pancake which wasn't tasty outside of cinnamon added in powder form on the top. It had a bounce to it that made it impossible to cut with the plastic fork provided to us (had to use the plastic knife). Finally
