I stopped in for a quiet, relaxing lunch on the back patio and was extremely disappointed...it was anything but relaxing. The server was obviously not happy to be working. Service was slow. The waitress continually stated she was too busy to get menus, drinks, silverware, etc. The other 7 tables on the patio were complaining bitterly about the wait, wrong orders, dirty silverware and lack of refills on drink orders. One lady refused to eat her food stating she was afraid of developing food poisoning...not sure what she ordered but obviously was not appetizing. The owner came out to perform damage control and did nothing but make matters worse! She was anything but accommodating, completely emotionless-like the rest of the employees. The chef walked outside, around the corner of the building and upon returning to the patio looked at several patrons with no emotion on her face and went inside without speaking or even nodding to anyone. I felt like I was on Candid Camera! I kept thinking this must be a joke. Will never return or recommend this restaurant.

Have tried this place out a few times. The waitresses were very nice and attentive but the decor is straight out of your great great grandmas house!! The thing that got us....the roaches!! Ordered quiche with a side of fruit and inside my fruit was a roach. When I showed this to the server, she apologized and told us that they have been having problems for a while and that the owners were aware of the problem. When my husband asked what was being done, she said that the pest control guy comes in once every few months. Her opinion was that they were not willing to put money into the business because they were ready to sell out and that the kitchen staff worked very hard to keep it clean and bug free but without help from owners, they would get nowhere. We will not go back there to eat ever!! Way too gross!! There are plenty of new places in Washington to try out.

Good food

Don't eat here if you don't have time.. McDonalds is close by. The service is wonderful and they are personable. Great place for wedding rehearsal dinners!! My sister and I have both had our rehearsal dinners at Meet Place and the dinner was delicious!

One of Washington's best places for food and atmosphere PLUS the back porch is the terrific place to look at the sale boats on the Pamlico River as you eat. The roasted red pepper soup is one of the best I've ever eaten!!!
