All the wait staff were very polite and friendly. The fish tacos were very good. We ate them 2 different nights during our stay.

Tip: Just get the burger. It's the only good thing there.The staff here are great, I loved them. But the food is just awful and it shows that it isn't necessarily their fault, its the fault of their ingredients and their menu, which they may not have any control over. Breakfast buffet was not good. Dry everything. Pricey for what you get. I think they need to sit down and reassess the menu to make it easier on the staff and simplify their ingredients. Perhaps running the buffet is too much for the small staff to handle, even in the off-season. Lunch, Dinner options are terrible aside from the burger.

Was there for Thanksgiving dinner and all the food was prepared exceptionally. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. Selection was ample and diverse.

I can kinda understand $84 for two people and a Thanksgiving buffet that was quite descent. I do tip, even if it's only for someone to bring me water. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth when you get a check that already has a 20% tip already figured in and totalled out which was the case here. Point for the restaurant, "always leave that up to the customer". It's rude and down right greasy because you don't want to pay your workers.

Very good hotel food. Menu was limited, but it's a hotel and I would expect that. The staff is very nice.

Convenient location within the hotel, but that was about the only positive! Ordered the only steak on the menu, a 12 oz. Ribeye- served with asparagus & roasted potatoes. Also ordered a side salad. The salad was the only thing that was worth eating! The potatoes, asparagus and steak was SO salty I couldn't force it down! It was nothing short of horrible food. We were one of maybe 10 people in the entire restaurant, the one and only cocktail I ordered took 10+ minutes and water refills were difficult to come by. Waitress was nice, but very slow and a bit clueless. Didn't complain, she never asked about the meal or if we needed anything else after she brought the food. Figured complaining to her was pointless! Will NEVER return, nor recommend!

Ordered the flounder sandwich for 16$, the bun was the exact same as the buns you would receive for your school lunches, the “fish”? HA, quite literally laughed when I pulled the bun off of the top, there was a larger slice of tomato than there was fish on the “sandwich” not over exaggerating when I say there was less than 2 oz of “fish” on this sandwich. The bun weighed about 2-3x what the fish weighed. The waitress was very sweet although she was busy due to being the only one waitressing. We also ordered the shrimp and flounder basket, which was 20$ and it was ok, however we didn’t even get the coleslaw that came with the order. however when you spend 43$ (after tip) and you still have to go spend another 10-15$ at a fast food restaurant just so you do not go to bed hungry, you would just be better off ignoring the existence of this so called restaurant all together. DO BETTER HILTON!!!(400$ for “2 days” of stay even though the all together time that you are allowed to be checked in for, for 400$ is 20 hours) the staff all were wonderful as well as the manager(very polite man)
Worst meal I have ever had in the 15 years coming to Emerald Isle. Fish was burnt, took upon themselves to give potatoes instead of rice & tomatoes that was supposed to come with it. Waitress told us you just take what you get. Don't waste your time or money here.

We ate here because we were staying in the hotel and it was storming out and then had the breakfast buffet one morning. If you can, save your money and go somewhere else. Everything was meh. I had the fried shrimp basket and my child had bbq wings. The breakfast buffet wasn't good. There are a few options but the food didn't taste great. Save your pennies and try Bite at the Box for an awesome breakfast with a beach view. Try dinner at Island Grille. One saving grace for this hotel is Molly's Beach Club outside by the pool. They have a large menu and the food was great!

Ordered takeout ... shrimp dinner and a fish sandwich. When I opened my sandwich, I actually laughed out loud. The piece of fish was about 3 inches long, thin, and didn't even cover half of the bun. I mean, someone sent this out of the kitchen and thought it was OK.

Great service . Food - didn’t happen . When we sat down. The table next to us got their food and it was bad looking . So we ordered some wings and 2 drinks. And then we’re informed no wings . Waitress was very pleasant . Restaurant was like the hotel connecting . Very sub par for Hilton .

Horrible experience. Service was bad. Waited 10 minutes for a hostess then they seated people that got there after me first ... Food was terrible. Catch of the day was overcooked and tough. Portions were small for $35 meal. Won't go back even with hotel meal credit....
