I absolutely loved dining here! I really wish we had a place like this back home. The food was very good while being reasonably priced. But my favorite part was the environment. The decor is very eclectic and homey which i enjoyed a lot. They have paintings from local artists that you can buy. They have varied seating options. If you have a big party you can dine in the back which is an open space with multiple tables. There are also separate rooms that are more closed off if you want a more private dining experience. I definitely recommend stopping in to eat here.

Stopped in for lunch on our way traveling through town. So glad we found this place. It was nice to have a delicious meal while we were on the road. Wonderful hospitality and they even came to sing happy birthday to our little guy. If we ever find ourselves in the area again we’ll be back. Thank you for a great experience!

Great hidden gem! We were traveling through and looking for something other than fast food. This place was great! The lasagna and chicken marsala were delicious and the beer and wine selection was impressive. The staff was incredibly friendly and informative. The outside patio was charming. I highly recommend trying this place. Also, the owner ran after us after my wife left a sweater at the table, which was a very appreciated kind gesture.

We held the celebration of my mom’s life at Happenings on Elm earlier this month. My mother was an artist, and the owners worked closely alongside us to put together a tasteful, intimate, and artistic event in her honor. The food is great and they offer a good selection of local craft beers and wine. My husband and I look forward to returning to Happenings on Elm whenever we are visiting Lumberton. This place is a unique local treasure!

Very nice place. Art and wine for sale to take home. My dog and I come often to enjoy some food and craft beer (for me, not him). Dogs are welcome to visit in their patio area. Love this place.

We wanted to stop for a quick bite on a road trip, but we were tired of fast food. We read the reviews & decided to venture off 95. So glad we did. Adorable eclectic place; friendly staff & owner. Great concept: delicious food and wine bar, and showcases very talented local artists with art & craftwork available for sale. The blue cheese on the burger was outstanding. The shrimp po boy (a special) was one of the best I ever had. Wish we could have stayed longer for dessert but we had an event to go to. We hope to go again on our way back home. Go. You’ll be glad you did!
