“I have been several times when it first opened . Returned back last night and was disappointed . Server was sweet but food took way too long. The boneless wings were cold and tough, chicken sandwich was dry. Chicken wraps were good . Spent $110 on 4 plates & 2 beers. Wasn’t our best experience. 🥴”

“Stopped by Angie’s Lighthouse Cafe and had a great experience. We were greeted right away and able to order quickly. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive throughout the meal, which made the visit even better. The food was solid—classic diner fare done well—but prices were a little on the high side for what you get. That said, the overall vibe is exactly what you want from a local spot: cozy, welcoming, and clearly a favorite among regulars (a lot of familiar faces came through while we were there). Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and want a relaxed, homey meal.”

“My husband and I decided to check this place out for breakfast during our visit in Morehead City. So glad we did!! . The breakfast was delicious! Prices were very reasonable. It was fairly busy and wait staff kept the place hopping!!. Busboy was on top of every vacant table and immediately cleaned it. Upon people entering the restaurant, there was always someone looking to provide seating. While we were there a party of eleven came in and within 10 min they were accommodated. Will definitely be back!!”

“Amazing Service and food. Walked in everything was very clean and standards were high for a lunch. Ordered the BBQ wings, at first thought the smell was a little different, took another sniff test and was suprised it was a very pleasant smell. Wings tasted amazing and Pizza was nice. For $35 for a lunch here was worth it, as the quality and quantity of food is a worthwhile deal for this. Service was nice, they dont have waiters constantly pester you but are aware and quick to know when you need something. 10/10 please go here if visiting.”
