Summer Dominican Restaurant — Restaurant in Goldsboro

My daughter and I stopped in for lunch today at this restaurant, and I’m still thinking about the food hours later. I ordered the steak dish while my daughter had the chicken stew, and of course, I had to try both! The flavor was unlike anything I’ve ever had before. Each bite had the perfect balance of spice with just a hint of sweetness.

The portions were generous. We both ended up with leftovers to take home, which is always a bonus. I wish I had thought to snap a few pictures, but honestly, I didn’t think about it.

We also grabbed a dessert to try later, which we’re really looking forward to. Elvis, the owner, was fantastic. He took the time to explain each dish and what it came with, and his friendly attitude made the experience even better. Great service is rare these days, and he definitely made us feel welcome.

I’m already planning my next visit. I can’t wait to try the oxtails and pork shoulder next time....

Let me tell y’all ! I stumbled upon Summer Nights while searching for Dominican food in the area. BOOM !

I ordered a side of tostones, steak with rice and peas, brown chicken stew with red beans and rice, and a mango smoothie. A childhood core memory was unlocked when I took a bite of the rice. I had an Aunt Miriam who would throw down in the summertime while we enjoy the pool. The side salad was also bomb & I got to sample sweet plantains. Listen ! Game changer! All of the flavors complimented each other and I love how the smoothie maintains its base flavor. It’s not too sweet and it’s not overpowering. It’s very refreshing. I also admire the presentation of the food as well! click the photos tab to see the items I ordered

This location has very authentic vibes, and the food review almost didn’t make it because the aromas were too enticing and I was ready to EAT! Make sure y’all show love...

This place is Redonkulous!!! Atmosphere is the only thing lacking here…but be aware that the owner just opened back up and is getting his kitchen in order to add more. Goldsboro, you better get your Dominican food here before he blows up! Elvis (owner) is in...
