There wasn't too many customers, mostly elderly people. The people who take your orders are really friendly. I ordered the shrimps and grits, it looked great and smelled great but it taste bland. They gave me more seasoning in a small cup and that helped but I ended up getting a shrimp shell in my food, I didn't let anyone know because I already felt like I bothered them enough. This is a nice place to go when you want breakfast!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stopped at Colonial Cafe in Elizabeth City, NC, and I’m glad I did! I had the Dirty Bird breakfast with local sausage, crispy taters, and the kind of gravy you just don’t see much anymore—thick, flavorful, and loaded with chunks of sausage. Absolutely delicious. Perfect little hometown spot and an amazing stopping point on the way home from the Outer Banks. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious!! Everything was well seasoned, and it was decorated with pictures of Elizabeth city looked years ago. The entire staff was friendly and checked in on us as we enjoyed our meal. I can tell a lot of locals came here because a woman who seemed to be the manager or owner called a few folks by name. Really awesome welcoming atmosphere, great portions, and a great price. The Chicken wrap was delicious and the fries are the best fries I have had in a long time.

Stopped by with a group for a quick breakfast. We ordered biscuits which were tasty, soft, and delicious. Prices were decent. The options include sausage, ham, bacon, fried chicken, egg, and cheese. They also sell other delicious breakfast and non breakfast items. The server/staff member was friendly and helpful and the service was fast (given we were in a bit of a rush). Street parking available near the cafe.
