Cool little diner they were slammed but got me seated quickly. Wonderful service, great people, inexpensive food. They even have a lobster omelet. The place has been there since 1941 and I hope they keep it up!

If you’re in Kinston NC Lovick’s Cafe is worth a stop!! Open from 6am -2pm breakfast is their speciality but lunch was perfect! We enjoyed delicious soup and pastry to warm up this cold January day. The wait staff was attentive and food came out quickly! The owner personally greeted every customer! They are celebrating 85 years for a reason! Can’t beat good old fashioned food, family and business! PS is you use their app you save money and earn points towards future orders! Info in pictures.

Status quo for a little diner Service was great. Everybody was very friendly. Quick stop on our way to RDU
Eggs- 5/5
Grits -5/5
Sausage – 2/5 kinda gross
Bacon – 5/5
Biscuit – 5/5. Delicious
Red eye gravy – I can’t really write this because I’ve never had it before and I don’t know what it’s supposed to taste like but it is made with him or making drippings and mixed with coffee. It’s a big no for me. but I had to try it, Something new. I think this place is a good local diner. We would stop by again.

What a delicious place to get food from while visiting Kinston. I ordered food and waited about 10-15 minutes for pick up. I ordered right away. Looked like dining room had tables available.
My husband got the warehouse special. Had a good portion. Everything was cooked well. The sausage was real, which was awesome, but it was really spicy. It also felt a little tough- maybe it’s always like that or just overcooked.
Son got the pancakes which are a bright yellow, but had a rich vanilla flavor. He liked the sausage, but he likes spicy.
I had the corned beef meal. It was cool because it came in patties. Everything was deliscous! Eggs were cooked perfect and I loved the potatoes! They were seasoned well and crunch. We will absolutely be back!!
Also ordered two OJs, which were bottled.

TLDR: decent diner, good service, in a cute location downtown. I would visit again, and probably explore different items on the menu.
Greeted upon entering. Seat yourself (no wait at about half past 9 on a Tuesday).
Server came to us pretty quickly, and was attentive during our visit.
Food was ready pretty quickly, too.
Lobster/seafood omlette – cooked well, not something I normally have for breakfast and I’m not sure I would order it again but I am glad I tried it.
Warehouse Special
I opted for something simple, items commonly offered at breakfast places.
Eggs–scrambled. Pleasantly surprised to get a real sausage link (not the small “Jimmy Dean” style). Pancake was buttery flavored but I’ll admit to not be a fan of the yellow color. I enjoyed the fried apples, I did get a full apple stem in my serving, though.
Coffee was okay (weaker than if you went to a coffee shop but seems on par for a diner–there is a good coffee shop just a few doors down, too).

My first impression was an outstanding experience. Placed order online and stopped by food was ready for take out prior to arrival. Hostess was super kind and showed where take out area was and got me on my way. Great food and very reasonable costs. I wish them continued success and blessing in the New Year. 83 years in business they know what they are doing be sure to check them out you will not regret it.

MUST STOP!! This is the most welcoming, kind, and wonderful breakfast stop. You come in as strangers and leave feeling like family. The food is fresh and delicious. The food comes second to the service and atmosphere. Christina is one of the kindest and most genuine souls I have ever met. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Why I never ate at Lovick’s Cafe over the last 40 years is beyond me. We stopped in on a Thursday morning and had to wait for a table. The outside of the place has been restored and expanded over the years, but the atmosphere still has the original feel too it. The food was hot and fresh and the service was great! I got one of the famous “dough burgers” like my wife’s grandmother used to make for us. It was all a great experience. I recommend you check it out next time you are in Kinston, NC.

Was expecting more. Have heard so much about Lovick’s and it being so great but was not all from what I heard. The place was clean, organized and employees were very friendly and quick but the food was okay. Asked about some of the dishes and came to find out most is canned food reheated and seasoned or pre-made easy make food. The prices are fairly reasonable which made reason for the food. Breakfast restaurants and Mexican restaurants are my top favorite to go to anywhere in my travels and always looking to try them out in each and every city, sadly i just wasnt too impressed. The restaurant was very very busy with almost every seat filled and i hear it is like that everyday all times of the morning/mid afternoon times so it seems very popular as is with many people I know love it. Good place to try at least once and determine your own thoughts on it as they have been in business for 80 years, you might love it!
