You’d Never Guess Some Of The Best Home Cookin’ In North Carolina Is Hiding In This VFW Building

When we seek out great cuisine, it is unlikely that the contenders may include a Veterans of Foreign Wars' kitchen. But hear us out when say the U.S. VFW 6060 William Clarence Jackson Post offers some of the best home cookin' in Elizabeth City, North Carolina every Wednesday. With a long-time and a tried and true reputation, there is a reason why this food runs out each week.

Editor's Note: This facility is no longer serving Wednesday meals, but you can still become a member. 

VFW Post 6060 was founded in 1946.

Since then, in addition to cooking, volunteers have been busy aiding veterans and their families, awarding scholarships, and raising money for cancer aid and research.

When you're in the mood for a rich, Italian meal, the baked ziti with parmesan and basil hits the spot.

It comes with salad and crunchy garlic bread.

The savory roast beef promises nothing but comfort-food goodness, adding potatoes and carrots to complete the meal.

Sometimes the sides are different which adds to the excitement.

One consistent factor and an important note: Beautiful volunteers donate their time to serve you these scrumptious dinners, and scrub up afterward.

You are in good hands here.

We love the meatloaf and a generous dose of gravy with creamy mashed, and buttery sweet peas.

Be warned on Fish & Chips night as it tends to sell out pretty quickly with the tender flaky fish wrapped in a battered golden glory.

The post also honors our local heroes, such as policemen and women, firemen and women, and teachers.

This distinguished veteran from the post reverently participated in an Honor Guard ceremony.

Call 252-338-2828 to be added to the Wednesday dinner list, when you can reserve meals and delivery is available. And remember to reserve your meals early, as the best home cookin' in Elizabeth City North Carolina goes fast.
