Amy Jo's Country Restaurant — Restaurant in Wilson

I loved everything about Amy Jo's. I love to support homegrown local businesses. The parking lot was full but we found a parking place quickly. The decor was simple, yet wonderful! You can tell the owner is a Christian and not ashamed to show it. The messages on the wall are proof of that. The food was exactly what I had hoped for. A delicious Southern country breakfast! My Dad and I had the same breakfast, except my eggs were scrambled, and his were over medium. They served real country link sausage! Not the "want to be sausage." We had cooked perfectly grits with a side of red eye gravy! If you know what red eye gravy is, you are probably smiling right now. If you do not know, then all I can say is bless your heart! We also had toast to complete the meal. Our server was delightful, attentive, and sweet. The breakfast and lunch menus are exactly what I like. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I live about 40 minutes away, but I will go back. To me, it is well...

Coming all the way from Baltimore, Maryland to Wilson, NC for a family reunion. Ask around to several locals to find out what the top breakfast/brunch spot was in the area and Amy Jo’s name came up several times, so you know we had to drop in. First, I’ll start by saying the hospitality was on point. Everyone was so kind and made us feel like we were regulars when we dined in. This restaurant is self seating so finding a table for our group wasn’t hard at all. Immediately upon sitting, we were greeted by our waitress who was very friendly and had a bubbly personality. The food was just OK in my opinion. The spicy sausages were very delicious and one of my favorites for the meal. The sausage gravy over what I would say was a homemade biscuit was crazy delicious 🔥. The biscuits are huge and very hefty and tasty. The fried pork chop didn’t taste seasoned and was very tough to chew (overcooked). The entire meal in my opinion was a bit above subpar, but the hospitality made up for the 5...

I’ve been coming here regularly by myself around 6:30–7:00 a.m., always ordering the same thing—milk, scrambled eggs, bacon, grits, and a biscuit. Lately, the food has been cold, but I try to look past it and give them the benefit of the doubt because I enjoy the atmosphere and don’t like confrontation due to anxiety.

I sat for 15 minutes, unnoticed, not even by my usual server. They were about 25% busy, and I still wasn’t acknowledged. Finally, I was approached by a different server, who asked if my drink order had been taken yet. I said no and asked for milk. She left, and I waited another eight minutes while a table of three who arrived after me had their order taken first. I just sat there, waiting, until I finally got up and left.

I’m not looking to get anyone in trouble, but I hope this is seen and things improve moving forward. I think I’ll try finding a different breakfast spot, one that’s a little more welcoming and where the...
