About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
From chef, cookbook author and PBS star, Vivian Howard, LENOIR reminds people that the South is a nuanced place with a storied history and disparate terrain that shapes us as well as our food traditions. Here we cook to perpetuate, honor and evolve the cuisine of the rural, agricultural South, and we back it up with hospitality that buys into the idea that food with a story tastes better. Named for Vivian’s home county in eastern North Carolina, LENOIR exalts the pillars of Southern hospitality and leaves people feeling like they are guests in our home rather than patrons in our restaurant.

    Excellent service! The food was incredible. They were so kind and accommodating to our two kids (ages 7 and 9). Love this place!!! My daughter had the smash burger and I enjoyed the tomato pie. The grits - holy smokes. So good!!! Love this place! Highly recommend!

    Blueberry chicken wings were well presented but a little “ ho hum” in terms of the wonderful sauce Together with very fair tasting chicken Entrees were above average and fried collards were delicious. Pretty bar and warm atmosphere… not a Must stop but very adequate eating experience.

    Service good. Combination bar and restaurant. Expected better restaurant. Item ordered was not what menu listed. Disappointing. Had been better in prior years.

    Bland over priced food. And the chef is supposed to have won an award?
