Review Hunter Hill Cafe - Rocky Mount

First time eating dinner here should've known it was good . I enjoyed i hope they bring the breakfast back . Go check out good affordable and good quality food.

This was my very first time visiting and the food and service was great! The brown skin Lady that had the bun in her hair was very nice and patient when my son spilled my drink and she was very easy to talk to! The Mac and cheese, spaghetti,cabbage, hush puppies, and BBQ chicken was amazing!!! Sweet tea was great too

First time visiting. My husband is from Rocky mount, so he brought me here because I wanted some soul country cooking. The food is good, but the portions serving are very small. People come to eat. I'm Not a little kid!!!

Good country cooking, cafeteria style delivery, $10/person I'd say would be a good estimate for supper. Sunday thru Wednesday. Malt Shop Oldies music was playing when we were there, folks were nice and friendly, easy location to find, get in and out of. They even have a special room of to the side for groups and special events. We loved it!

Everything on the menu is "home-cooked" and of the finest quality! I have not had Chicken Pastry this good at any other restaurant I have ever visited, it is as good as any my mother made, and believe me, that is saying something! If you are looking for somewhere that serves excellent homemade Southern cooking, look no further than Hunter Hill Cafe. The prices are really reasonable, the quality is excellent, the staff are super friendly, and the restaurant is always clean and pleasant.

Well where do I start? I'm not from the area so I decided to stop by while in town for training. The people were so nice and had no problems letting me sample and making me feel comfortable (even tho after I sampled the beef brisket, I knew that was the right choice for me). The food was awesome and when they found out I wasn't from Rocky Mount, they introduced to to new things and just made me feel more welcome. The strawberry cake was awesome. One lady told me I would be back, and she was right. Thank you ladies for everything 😘 Can't wait to go back 😋

Tonight was our first time trying this place. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was top notch. Ribeyes steak, pulled pork, buttered potatoes, cooked cabbage, green beans, baked spaghetti, and the hash browns... Mmmmm yum! We finished it off with the best strawberry cake we ever had. Definitely will be back!!;

Its an unusual combination of buffet style meal serving and a convenience store. The offer very good food but in a very economical serving. The store shelves offer just a few things. Most folks coming through seem to get take out plates rather than dining in or getting stuff from the store.

My review is based solely on their food as the food I ate was catered. I ate chicken, macaroni and cheese, green beans, hush puppies and tea. The macaroni and cheese was some of the best I ever had. The chicken legs were so flavorful and the breast was juicy, tender and the skin was nice and crispy. The green beans weren't to my liking but, that's OK. The hush puppies were also some of the best I ever had. I look forward to eating here soon.

Yesterday was my first time having breakfast and it was amazing!!! I always come back to get lunch but I now have a new breakfast place too!!! Also the hours open are great!! �

Went to breakfast there yesterday & it was really good. Staff that was serving was very friendly & the gentleman taking care of beverages & condiments was on top of his game. Nice to see a smiling face that early in the morning.

Country cooking at its best! Large portions for your money. Desserts are well worth your time. Staff is friendly and always greet you with a smile and a " Come on back!" You get fast service whether it's dining in or take out. And easy to see from Hwy 301. Five stars and two thumbs up from me!

Loved the food but the server seemed a little out of it. She was completely uninterested in giving her attention and attitude was a bit rude. Walked away while I was asking a question. Not sure why you take a job working with customers when it is not your thang!

Went yesterday after church. Very disappointing to see that it's now a store and the dine in area is in the side room only. This is the second time I've been in a couple months and the quality of the food has also decreased. Someone I was with yesterday asked one of the waitstaff if he could get another sweet potato because the one he was given was hard inside. The gentleman turned and asked another co-worker to take care of it, but 15 min later a person from our table got the uncooked potato and took it to the serving line to have it replaced. The waitstaff person that was supposed to be taking care of it was standing by the cashier just carrying on a conversation. This same person was not very diligent in checking on her tables and then when asked for something she acted like we were bothering her. The food and the service used to awesome! I hate that it is no longer awesome. It's sad that great restaurants don't remain great in this city!!

Wow! This food is delicious! I don't know where to start. The fried chicken, the brisket or the vegetable lasagne all will send your taste buds into a fancy delight. I recommend their services to all. Thanks for a delicious meal each time you've catered for us.

The level of service was not the same. Maybe it was because the owners could not see since dining area is off to the side. We had to go up and ask for drinks that we paid for. I use to be excited to go to Hunter Hill Cafe when my bf would suggest it. It was the collards and BBQ but this time idk the BBQ didn't taste the same neither did the collards. The pork chop was cold and to ask the wait staff to replace it was a joke. If you couldn't get drinks you were not going to get another chop timely. I didn't like the new setup to walk in as a store get your food and there was no real order of traffic you just made your way through. I liked the main dining area where is it's to be with the TVs not like it is now with a slot machine in the corner. Idk about hen breakfast haven't had it yet but I hope it's gr8!

Big shout out to David and the crew at HHC!!! They have catered 3 lunches for us at UNC Cancer Care at Nash- always delicious and on time with friendly service! Thanks guys �

Co-workers and I recently had breakfast here and we are still talking about it days later!!!! So delicious!!! Staff was extremely nice!!! We will def be back sooner than later

The best food and the workers are so friendly...I recommend if I have not you most go I know I will love it.

Food was beyond fabulous. Excellent choices. The server was extremely friend and helpful.

Excellent food and affordable. Very good waitresses.

The pancakes were not like the one in the picture and they didn't taste good at all i cant describe what they taste like i was so disappointed.

Went to get the ribeye and they were very hospitable when I sent it back for being made wrong The second one was excellent great down home cooking there!!!

The BBQ Is Just One Of The Nice Choices Here. This relative newbie on the Eastern NC BBQ scene occupies the second, and final, home of the late, lamented Melton's Barbecue - a true, iconic NC barbecue restaurant. This place represents a totally different approach to that embraced by Melton's - this is cafeteria style, with chopped pork barbecue only a small part of what is offered - there are baby back ribs, brisket, and down home country cooking items - including Pork Chops (Smothered or Fried), Meatloaf, Fried Chicken, Chicken & Pastry, BBQ Chicken, and Fried Fish (Trout & Flounder).<br/><br/>They have the usual sides, daily specials, a few sandwiches, and serve chopped barbecue and beef brisket every day. Prices are very reasonable - 1 Meat & 2 Sides (with roll or hushpuppies) are $6.99 at lunch and dinner, and you can add an extra meat for only a $1 more. A Veggie Plate with 3 items is $3.99, roll or hushpuppies included - that probably beats K & W.<br/><br/>The chopped barbecue is very nice - moist, tender, moderately chopped, and has a nice vinegar hook at the end, but little heat. They cook only pork shoulders here so the meat is lean and clean. The Beef Brisket is tender, but very heavily sauced with a thick, red sauce that is pretty sweet - a little goes a long ways. I would not reorder this unless I could get it without the sauce. The Chicken & Pastry was outstanding, loaded with chicken flavor, and the pastry is thin and delicious - comes close to that at Bum's in Ayden.<br/><br/>Collards were very good, well seasoned; the Mac & Cheese was also nice; the Butter Beans were canned but also benefited from being seasoned correctly; and the Cabbage was ok, had some red pepper flakes, but they seemed to contribute very little. The Slaw was decent, but very wet, while the Hushpuppies were exceptional.<br/><br/>This is Top 20 Eastern style barbecue here, if a little on the mild side, but some will like this. The pricing is more than reasonable, some you will find value as well as variety, and the service is nice - folks are friendly and helpful.<br/><br/>Make Note: They are CLOSED ON SATURDAY.

Loved the Environment. Portions was huge , food was very good.Staff friendly I will visit again.

I'll pass. As a local, after hearing so much about this place I had to try it out. <br/>I was sort of put out when I walked in & found a cafeteria line & the ambiance was nil. <br/>I to get a rib dinner to go. For sides I chose cole slaw & the mac'n'cheese.<br/>The ribs were okay if you like them so tender there's not much chew to them, but everything...the sauce, the slaw AND the mac'n'cheese tasted like it all had a pound of sugar dumped it. <br/>There won't be any return visits for me.

Incredible Fried Chicken!. Wonderful Southern cooking. Fried chicken is worth the drive. This is where the locals go. Very friendly service. Great price and value.

In a town where "BBQ" is fried chicken with a side of pulled pork, I had to search long and hard to find the rest of the oink. Found it. They gave ribs, untrimmed beef brisket, and BBQ chicken. Sides were very good: greens , sugar beans, cabbage. Also the slaw was not so overly sweet as many places do. Good service In an old time southern cafeteria. On wish is that brisket was left whole and sliced at ordering rather than swimming in a steam tray in sauce all evening. It dried out a few slices.
