The Bistro Burger Bar has delicious burgers. We've gone a few times and it's always been really good. We usually get the brussel sprout appetizer which is fantastic!! The burgers are cooked perfectly and the fries are always hot and flavorful. It's a quaint little spot with great food! The service is pretty quick and the staff is friendly! It's the place to go for when you're wanting a good burger!

Been here a few times since we moved here over the summer. Honestly I came in because I googled where to get a monte Cristo nearby and this said they had one on the menu. When we got there we were informed it isn't on the menu anymore but there is a similar item on the brunch menu. When we went back the following week for brunch (so that I could satisfy the craving) they said they didn't have it at all anymore. We ordered a variety of food across all of our visits and I failed to get pictures of the food on each occasion. Each time we went there the entire group was disappointed with what we got. The server was nice, the establishment was clean. Each of our visits there were few people dining... so it was kind of quiet. Overall, each dish seemed to be missing the little extra umph that could make an okay something great.

Nothing like it in e city for burger variety and creative flavors. Took the kids and all but one of us were impressed and delighted with our burger; can't always please a kid. My burger was delicious and everyone's looked great. The Brussel side was cokes to perfection. It's cute inside taking advantage of the classic aspects of the building. Our server was attentive and friendly. I hope they survive here. Would love to see more choices of ciders as they only had a tropical flavored choice which was ok. Give it a shot, it's a great burger!

Atmosphere: In downtown Elizabeth City (Betsy City). A small and comfortable dining room with a bar and light music overhead. The music volume was low enough that you could have a comfortable conversation. Of note, the ceiling is very cool, the tiles used make the room feel more vintage, clean and somehow modern. Food: The menu is relatively light with minimum options but all classic to the area. They serve steak, pork chops, sandwiches, burger, and seafood dishes. Seafood allergies prevent me those options but everything looked good. Service: Service was solid, the man working the dining area was able to rattle off the beers and dessert from memory. Ordered regular fries and they gave me sweet potato fries. No big deal. Overall: Good experience, second time here and was much better than the first time which we can't remember.

When I first dined here a few years ago, I had lunch and the salmon was so so good. I came here and had the omelette and it just wasn't good. Hot cocktails also weren't good (straight coffee and liquor vs an actual cocktail). The service is great and this place is always busy. It's a quaint place in downtown Elizabeth City. But I probably won't be back.

Cute place with tasty food. I had the French Dip with sweet potato chips. The chips were amazing. My husband had a burger and steak fries. Service was good.

This a cute little bistro with a great atmosphere. The service was fantastic and Morgan kept my coffee filled. I ordered an AM breakfast burger. The burger was cooked with a nice char on the outside and juicy in the middle. The egg was perfect. The peppered bacon and cheese sauce were the perfect compliment. I am not a fan of steak fries but the waiter said they were good so I took a chance. They did not dissapoint. They were well seasoned and crispy on the outside. I wish I lived nearby. I would make this a regular brunch place.

Wanted to get out of Suffolk, Va . And change up our scenery. Found this brunch spot in our neighboring city and decided to take the ride.Atmosphere has a southern feel with a southern style country cooking menu.I had the downtown brunch platter while the Mrs ordered the Bistro club sandwich. A side stack of pancakes and a margarita mimosa for the wife. The brunch platter was simple but well portioned. Eggs, potatoes, bacon, and a very delicious biscuit. Nothing special about it, your traditional breakfast items. The Mrs, however, went out on a limb ordering the bistro club. If looks alone was all you measured this sandwich by, it would be a 10! However, the pesto was overpowering in the sandwich and killed the ability to taste anything else. Now if you love the taste of pesto you will love this sandwich, for me and the Mrs we can "leave it." Well we can say we tried the food her and it was just ok. No need to return due to the failure of first impression.

So the family came to see our youngest daughter In Elizabeth City. If you have never been to Elizabeth City I can tell you that there is not a lot there but there is this spot called the Mills Downtown Bistro. We visited this eclectic, intimate little spot on a Friday night. We got there just in time to get a table. This place is small, it seats maybe 60 people. It has that homey, country feeling with old style tin ceiling tiles. I felt like we were in a small tavern restaurant in the French countryside.By the look of this little store front restaurant you would think the menu would be the usual bar food. How surprised I was to see a fine dining menu.I order the sweet potato risotto with white wine and rabbit sausage. Let me tell you. This was farm to table fresh. The risotto was a little stiff for me but the sausage made up for it. Savory with a hint of spice on the finish made this sausage melt in your mouth good. My daughter ordered the apple crepe (If you like crepes they have savory and sweet) it was excellent other than the apples weren't peeled so the texture was a little off putting. But I still give them five stars for serving fine french style dining in downtown Elizabeth City!

I have mixed feelings about this place, the first time the burgers were good but the fries were super greasy and we got a skimpy serving. The second visit the burgers felt mushy like there was some kind of filler added but the fries were good and a generous amount. However the burgers do not include fries and are extra. Total bill for 2 burgers with fries, a kid's meal with tip and only water was $50 for a quick lunch, they also apply 3% credit card surcharge. The place was clean, wait staff was friendly & food arrived quickly and as ordered.
