Good food. Reasonably priced. Ate at the oyster bar upstairs. Good service. Party of 9. Burger is 70% beef, 30% pork belly. Worth it for $10.

This is a local little diner in what used to be a downtown area. Most of theBuildings are abandoned now. Everyone was super nice. The furnishings were well worn but cozy.Tonight's special was pork chops. The menu sports mostly seafood items and that's what we came to eat. My husband and I both chose the (fried) shrimp and flounder. Dinners come with Cole slaw and fries. We were delighted to also get 3 hush puppies (we are big fans of the pup). The seafood was lightly breaded and it tasted "fresh". Unfortunately the sides were not too great. The cole slaw had a large amount of pickle relish in it. Th fries were "meh".........fish and pups were winners.The sweet tea was also delicious. Stick with the seafood here.........Next time we are gonna try Golden Skillet Fried Chicken on 64. It was packed.

This is a relaxing, quiet spot right along the "main drag" and just a few yards from the Roanoke River. The flounder, lightly breaded, is usually accompanied by coleslaw, but I asked for a small salad instead. The salad was fresh and crisp, the fish was good and the service was quite prompt. It was a nice, light lunch. I'd like to come back and try their steak.

The menu is very basic and despite the name, not healthy at all. Very carb/fried food heavy. Would not recommend.

A sign out front would be a big help.We could see nothing that said Garden Spot and had to check Google.My burger was not good at all, just a cheap frozen patty. I could have had that at McDs.My husband's potato salad was inedible.The decor was trying to be homey but just seemed cluttered. The back hall way into the bathrooms and the bathrooms themselves were seriously creepy.We were mostly disappointed in the food though.We go through Plymouth all the time- we live on Hatteras island- and hated the base assumption that we were tourists just passing through. We could have been regulars but...no.It's not their fault, but Plymouth is a truly sad little southern downtown. I recommend, unfortunately, just staying out on the highway.Our search for something Non fast food on Route 64 continues!

Plymouth is a small town along the Roanoke River. The historic downtown is two streets that have managed to keep the majority of the buildings intact and in good condition. The Garden Spot Cafe is clearly a preferred destination. It was packed for lunch. Typical Southern hospitality and simple food. We enjoyed the kind service and appreciated that in spite of it having a "corner" on the dining options, they still brought out a few unusual offerings.

This restaurant is an oasis in the food desert that marks US 64 between the Triangle and OBX.I am on a diet, but found a really tasty Shrimp Louis sakad. Nice greens (no ice berg lettuce), hard boiled eggs and perfectly cooked asparagus topped with a dozen (count them) lemon pepper seasoned shrimp. $8.95. Excellent!The non-diet fare looked scrumptious and ever diner seemed happy with his or her choice.The service was fast with a big dose of southern niceness. I will be stopping here in the future.
