Traveller Reviews on New Bern

MJ's Raw Bar & Grille

18 Sep 2008

Unfortunately, we went to MJ's on a night when their steamer and A/C were down so weren't able to sample the steamed dishes; however, we were very pleased with what we ordered: crab cakes appetizer- lots of lump crab meat and delicious, soft shell crab sandwich - not overfried, well-seasoned and tender, and shrimp and grits- delicious! my husband fell... more

The Aerie Bed & Breakfast

18 Sep 2008

We stayed for one night at the Aerie B&B and had a really wonderful time. Michael and Marty were exceptional hosts and provide a welcoming, tasteful and comfortable experience. We were on a bit of a whirlwind tour of NC so had only planned for one night in New Bern. In retrospect, we should have planned for more nights. We... more

Holiday Inn Express New Bern

3 of 5 stars
Greensboro, NC
17 Sep 2008

This place is not the cleanest of hotels. The staff is friendly and nice. I spent an entire month there and feel comfortable talking about it. The weight room is a joke. The pool is about the size of a home above ground mini pool. The "hot" breakfast has biscuits and gravy and cinnamon rolls everyday. It is conveniently located... more

did not want to stay here based on earlier reviews, but my first choice hotel was sold out. The Sheraton in New Bern is a great hotel, having just been renovated. My room was excellent in every detail. the staff could not have been more friendly. everyperson I contacted was helpful and friendly. excellent views, excellent rooms, excellent staff. more

El Taco Loco

New Bern, NC

1/1 found this review helpful

El Taco Loco is a new restaurant in town. I have eaten there twice and have to say that is the best ethnic restaurant in town. The menu is simple with sandwiches (or tortas), burritos, tacos and quesadillas. The choice of meats includes beef, pork in a couple different ways, and chicken. I have had the beef and the fried... more

Hampton Inn New Bern

14 Sep 2008

We were down for the MS150 bike ride in September 2008 from Friday-Sunday. When we booked the hotel we asked if we could do late check-out since check-out was 11:00 am Sunday and the bike ride would not be over by that time. My husband and the group he was with wanted to come back and be able to take... more

Hampton Inn New Bern

9 Sep 2008

This newly renovated hotel was a pleasure to stay at! Tropical Storm Hanna was heading our way and the hotel manager kept everyone advised of the storm and even scheduled some bingo games for the guests. In addition to the free breakfast they also made available sandwiches and chips the next day because of the weather. The hotel did lose... more

Broad Creek Guest Quarters Resort

8 Sep 2008

On this trip to New Bern we decided to stay at the Broad Creek Guest Quarters instead of a hotel - a great decision! Peg and Harold went above and beyond to make our stay 'perfect.' They were exceptional hosts. Our accommodations were inviting, comfortable, and very nicely decorated. We truly enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch and having... more

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at The Aerie! The breakfast is UNBELIEVEABLE - abundant, beautiful presentation, delicious! They also offer afternoon cocktails and snacks along with hot and cold beverages available anytime. Marty recommended dinner restaurants and made reservations for us for both nights. It was lovely to be able to enjoy meeting other inn guests over drinks... more

Our family drove from Ohio to the Carolinas for a 10 day vacation. On the way to our Hilton Head timeshare we decided to drop by New Bern to experience it's coastal charm and southern hospitality. Our expectations were greatly exceeded! This charming B&B was a pleasant and welcome contrast to our typical timeshare or commercial hotel experience. Our suite... more

My wife and I and one other couple ate at Half Time last Saturday nite. The service was excellent, great waitress and attitude. One problem; when my wife's shrimp was brought to the table there was an obvious very strong smell coming from it. The ends of the shrimp were discolored and after tasting just one, my wife told the... more

This B&B was absolutely charming! The service and hospitality was beyond expectation. The owners, Michael and Marty, treat you like you're family and take awesome care of your every need! The breakfast choices were so wonderful that I had a hard time choosing. The rooms are beautifully decorated as is the rest of the common areas. I recommend this place... more

Captain Ratty's

New Bern, NC
20 Aug 2008

My wife and I have eaten at Captain Ratty's several times and will go back again. The food isn't exceptional and a bit overpriced but tasty. Wait staff are adequate and pleasant. I'm not a seafood eater but my wife is and she is quite picky about it. She rates the seafood as a little better than okay and I... more

Terrific! The Aerie is classy in every way. Comfortable, immaculate, with genial and attentive hosts, gourmet breakfast, generous happy hour, wireless Internet, convenient to downtown New Bern. If you're visiting the New Bern area and there's room at the Aerie, you'd be foolish to stay anywhere else. more

Famous Subs & Pizza

New Bern, NC

My wife and I have eaten several times at Famous. We have found the service slow, the wait staff very freindly and the food just average. For the price it is an acceptable place to eat if you are not looking for atmosphere. more

The Chelsea: A Restaurant & Publick House

12 Aug 2008

My husband and I were passing through New Bern for the first time ever on a Monday night around 5:30, so I checked Trip Advisor for a good place to eat. Our journey took us very close to The Chelsea, and after reading these reviews, we gave it a try. What a gem! The location is in the historic district... more

We just got back from our trip to New Bern with our six kids. The condos were not bad......they just were not great. They were clean though. They could use a little updating like new TV's, internet, nicer more comfortable beds, etc. We had a few minor issues with the condo while we were there like a light that burned... more

We recently stayed at the Harmony House and were very excited because we're usually budget travellers, and thought this to be a splurge. We booked a Deluxe Queen room. The B&B is centrally located and you can walk everywhere including the waterfront, which was a real treat. We loved the Tryon Palace and highly recommend the tour. The B&B is... more
