Good atmosphere and good food.

We called ahead today with a large group and they were. Very accommodating. The service was spectacular - and the food amazing.

I don't 'bestow' five stars very often, and I debated with myself about this one. Four stars from me mean 'very good, I expect to return'. But I only get to New Bern once a year for a bike event. So I won't have a chance at a second review until next September. I expect to return. Google reviews for Annabelle's were pretty positive, so I had fairly high expectations, and they were met. The menu is fairly extensive, which can be an opportunity for a lot of food that's not really all that good. I had the Shepherds Pie, which in other restaurants turned out to be fairly bland. Here it was very tasty. And very hot (temperature, not spice). So coupled with friendly, prompt service, the 5th star. My partner had something that I think was called a Kentucky Brown? I'd never heard of it. He was familiar with it, and said he was surprised to see it here. And he said they did a good job. So we had indications that the kitchen had mastered a pretty wide variety of dishes. The restaurant is in a mall, which is sometimes a warning sign. Not this time. It's not the food court, and the entrance is on the malls exterior. We went at about 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, and the place was surprisingly busy. There was no wait, but most tables were full. One caution that has nothing to do with the restaurant. I was staying in a hotel on the other side of US 17 and across the street from the restaurant, about a 15-minute walk, according to Google maps. The time was correct, but there were no sidewalks, and the 6 lane wide street was very busy. There is a grass shoulder that doesn't seem to get a lot of foot traffic. It had been raining heavily all day (boo for the bike event), so the grass was wet. Once I got across from the mall, there were no crosswalks, and no pedestrian crossing lights. We had to time our crossing based on the automobile traffic lights, with turn arrows both directions. We survived, twice, but I don't recommend walking. Drive over, and if you want to get some walking in, do it in the mall. UPDATE: I discovered an underpass near the hotel that connected to another mall across the street from Annebelle's. That works have saved us from the uncomfortable walk along the highway, but not the 'no crosswalk' street crossing. I'll still drive next time.

Disgusting! It was the worst crabcake every tasted but at least the salad was good but that was all that was good I wasted my money. I will continue to get my crab cakes from Morgan’s (downtown New Bern). This is my second time being disappointed in the food first time I got steak dinner (the steak was really dry, over cooked) I was so disappointed We gave our steak to the dog “now the dog had a good meal to bad we did NOT”! I decided to try them out again for dinner and I wish I haven’t it’s in the trash where it belongs yes it was that bad! It WILL NOT be a third dinner WILL NOT! Know the saying third time is the charm “Third time will not be a charm, twice was enough for me”. First time I bought four steak dinners with four fried cheese cakes and the second time I got one crab cake dinner (2crab cakes, broccoli and a salad). I can say they do have good customer service the servers/cashier are very polite (thank you for that).
