If you have nothing to do all day then waste your time there, service was awful we waited 35 minutes before we received our food which is nothing to speak of. Waitress was an elderly woman (nice) but slow, she had a table of 8 which was very demanding of her time. The grill which is very small, no wonder it took a long time. The cashier who checked you out had to look up the prices, the price was $30.00 for breakfast. They changed $6.00 for home fries and $6.00 for a small bowl of grits which both had no seasoning. I had a restaurant for 7 years so I can see I wouldn’t waste your time at Vera’s

Poor service. We stopped in for lunch and despite there being at least 6 staff members and only a couple of customers, we were not acknowledged a single time in 8 minutes, so we left. The sign says “If you’re dining in, have a seat and someone will be right with you”. I don’t mind a wait for food, and I don’t mind a reasonable wait for drinks. But I would like to be acknowledged at the minimum.

I had lunch at Vera’s today with my granddaughter and her boyfriend. Our meal was delicious. We had grilled cheese with veggie beef soup
Large hot hamburger plate and hamburger steak with okra and deviled eggs. Atmosphere was very friendly and waitress was very attentive as well all other staff too! We’ll definitely be back!

Really can’t recommend this spot. Mediocre at best breakfast food. Service is quite poor. Their breakfast ends at 10:30, but if you order lunch at 10:31 they don’t start cooking it until they clear the breakfast orders. Took forever ever to even get menus. I think everyone working there is just trying their best and they’re all really nice but I didn’t have a great experience.

We stopped in for lunch after going to paw paws thrift store. I ordered the fried chicken, candied hams, beets and onion rings. Everything tasted so delicious. The workers were so friendly. Will be back!

Local place right here in town. Located on Main Street. Great breakfast. Hearty lunch, and yummy supper. New owners are updating the place for a neat fresh atmosphere. And the service is second to none. I do recommend this place.

Food was good, portions were good. Server spent more time trying to be smug and work on his flirting skill set with the customers, than making sure we had utinsels or if refills were needed…. But overall not a bad place for grandma/home made style cooking/food.

Wanting dinner. Not sure where. Googled restaurants in Vanceboro. Discovered Vera’s Diner. Perused the menu and hit the road.
You’ll miss it, if you don’t take your time to look for it. Nondescript building…belies the delicious bounty awaiting your taste buds.
I ordered the SMALL platter of:
Oysters, scallops, and shrimp…
fried…I usually get my seafood pan seared or steamed. The coating was more of a dusting of light cornmeal. Everything was cooked perfectly. The oysters exploded with estuary sweet brine flavor; the scallops were nearly the size of a 50¢ piece…sweet and tender; and the shrimp, larger than Calabash, but smaller than cocktail, sweet and delicious; AND LOCAL!
Had a salad & Cole slaw as sides. So much of my sea delicacies were left over, I had seconds the next day.
Vera’s serves Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
Open Monday-Saturday.
Highway 43, in Vanceboro, NC.
I need to check out their Breakfast. ☕

The burger was honestly one of the worst I’ve ever had a restaurant. It was so dry, disappointing seeing we tried to eat here several times, the food also took 40 mins to get to us. The waitress was very nice and couldn’t apologize more so she was given a good tip

My wife and I have stopped here twice. Bo5h times the experience has been good. They have new owners who are working very hard to make improvements. The lady time we went, I ordered one of the daily specials, it took longer than expected to come out. The cook himself brought the food, apologized for the delay and explained, he didn’t like the looks of what was left in the specials pans, so he made fresh. It was outstanding. We will be stopping here regularly.
