Good pizza

The owner of the restaurant and the waiting staff are very nice. If you have a complaint they do take it seriously.

Thoroughly un-impressed

I guess I should start this review by saying I'm probably very difficult to please. I tend to be biased by getting decent service and "doing the right thing" by their customers when I review someplace. Even if...

My husband and I were on the last day of a weeklong trek through the Carolinas when we spotted Babymoon Cafe from the road. Attracted by the outdoor seating, we were immediately approached by a friendly young...

Don't go waste your money!

So disappointed! Waited for an hour for the worst steak I have ever eaten. Cold, raw, just too many things going with it and the potatoes were just strange. Do yourself a favor and anywhere else, I am not...

Excellent food, receives about a 90 out of a 100... only because I've been to other countries where you can find better food than anwhere in America.

Just wait until it gets really hot out this Summer and you will see the sidewalk tables full at lunch time. That is a testament to how good the food is. I have been eating there for years and the folks are...

Terrible food, terrible service, terrible new owner, terrible experience

Nothing about my experience at Baby Moon was enjoyable. I brought my family there for a fun evening away from the house, and it was more stressful than worth the time or money. We were treated poorly (when we...

Ate at Babymoon for the first time just last night. We were looking for a casual place because we didn't want to get dressed up and Babymoon did fit that bill. It is more like a pizza place, everyone is in...
