Penn’S Grill

This was a nice restaurant. Excellent service. The food was brought out quick and was excellent! Fried pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy, Lima beans, turnip greens. Plus the best cornbread. The surprise is all of the homemade desserts! We will be back!

Don’t know how I missed this place but glad we tried it! Pros: • Portion size • Zucchini fries are amazing • Bacon Birdie • Food Service + wait • Staff friendliness Cons: • Pork Chop needed a bit more seasoning • Collard Greens tasted canned

This place has excellent potential! The food and menu selection was excellent! Great portions! Great taste! (And with a few tweaks they could be spot on.) We were halfway greeted, with a "sit anywhere” Our server was just there. We had what we needed, maybe not quite as timely, but we were satisfied. We would have taken sweets home, but when we were looking at them, no one offered. And it was almost as if we were in the way. (Granted it is a small place) But there was only one other table there) It was almost like BYE.... Work on that customer service! And those smiles, it can make a big difference in remembering somewhere you want to go again, it can make a good experience a great one!

Wow!! Who would have guessed that this little gem would have such wonderfully fresh food in Whiteville of all places?! Living in Southeastern North Carolina, many times we feel like we live in a food desert when it comes to healthy options. However, Penn's Grill is an exceptional find with super fresh food made with whole ingredients and tons of gluten-free options. I was shocked in the most pleasant way! If you are still in the mood for a great hamburger or hot dog, reminiscent of Penn's menu offerings from 20 years back, you can still get those here too! What a great mix to find in one place! They've got something here for everybody... literally.

This place is great! Right across the street from the AirBnb we stayed in which is why we tried it out for breakfast. We got seated right away and our waitress was super friendly. I got a biscuit with gravy. Biscuits and gravy is one of my favorite breakfast meals and theirs did not disappoint. It wasn’t so thick that it’s like Elmer’s glue and doesn’t soak into the biscuit at all, and it wasn’t so thin that it’s watery and causes a soggy biscuit. There was a hefty amount of sausage in it too. It was delicious. I’m usually disappointed when I order biscuits and gravy at restaurants because I make great gravy, but my only regret at Penn’s was not getting two orders of it. My wife got a double stack pancake which was also good. The over-easy eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was crispy. We also split a piece of cake because they looked so good and it was delicious as well. If you’re in Whiteville check it out.

This place is a gem. We are always looking for a place to grab a bite on the way back from the beach. The fried steak sandwich was a hit with the guys. The grilled chicken chop bowl and zucchini fries were perfect to have a little something light. Staff was friendly and service was fast. Will def be back. Elevated diner food - Something for everyone.
