“We had a wonderful evening at Circa 81 today! The food and staff are fabulous! Peter and Jared the reservation host were a pleasure! Thanks for everything! Loved the steak, pork Wellington, and sea food Mac & Cheese Tapas. We even had room for delicious desserts! 😉 The Fox family!”

“The Promise Land Market in Morehead City is a wonderful local gem! It offers a fantastic selection of fresh produce, specialty foods, and unique local products. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help you find exactly what you need. The market has a warm, community-focused atmosphere that makes shopping enjoyable and personal. Whether you’re stocking up on groceries, picking up a treat, or exploring local flavors, every visit feels special. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone who loves quality, local goods in a friendly setting!”

“Some of the best pizza we’ve had in the area! We ordered the Luigi’s special and a Stromboli. Both were very good and came out piping hot. Would go back again.”

“Went here for the second time last weekend and it was amazing as always. The staff are incredible and can make you almost any drink and are friendly as well. Even though they were busy the service was impressively fast. Highly recommended for an upscale cocktail experience.”

“I've been dining at both restaurants for years and enjoyed myself ,the food , and the staff! The food and sides at Morehead have a better flavor, taste better ,and the portions are much bigger. I ve notice that recently on my last couple times that the sides are much better at both restaurants. The mash potatoes in Morehead are so delicious. I wish that was the same case at the emerald isle restaurant. The Cole slaw is the best that I have taste recently. I swear if the food was as good as the sides have been lately I wouldn't eat anywhere else. SNAPPPERZ KEEP IT UP!”

“Wow! Excellent food! I loved the chips and salsa served for start. My birra tacos were so delicious! The house magraherta was not too sweet and so good! A nice place with really nice people! It was nice to see a place being well maintained and clean and offer fantastic foods!”

“First time and by far the best seafood in the area. Will be back next year. Definitely make reservations we did not but was earlier enough and they seated us. Staff was so friendly and exceptional. Our server was a college student and he gave us some great food choices that did not disappoint. He was extremely a fantastic server. Food was beyond expectations. 10/10”

“Hands down the best BBQ around! Staff here is great & always friendly. Restaurant is always nice & neat also. One of my favorite places. Five stars, highly recommend!”

“Always a great experience. The few times they put lettuce on my food after asking for no lettuce, they made it right on my check! The servers are always awesome, especially the ones that have been there for years. Always friendly and great food! There is a reason they are always packed!!!”

“Great burgers-juicy and cooked to perfection. The onion rings were amazing!! Thinly sliced with a great batter!!”

“Kayla is the most kind hearted and professional business owner I have ever met! She sets a great example of hospitality and creates a welcoming environment for every customer that walks through the door! Can’t say enough kind thinks about this place and the person who runs it. She has my full support and I 10/10 recommend!”

“Food was amazing. The service was outstanding. The only complaint that I had and they couldn't help. It was those people from Raleigh that wanted to continue to b**** about everything, and thanks to my second martini, I didn't give them a little bit of local redneck, and tell them to go back to Raleigh Like I wanted to, but Yep, Yep, it was an amazing meal. Great atmosphere.Great, everything we'll definitely be coming back”

“FIVE STARS! FIVE WORDS! AWESOME!”

“We had the best afternoon tea experience here. So many different varieties of tea, offered hot or iced. Highly recommend booking a reserved tea experience with delicious food and desserts. Perfect for a couple or a big party. Or just dine in for lunch with no reservations needed. You won’t be disappointed!”

“Cinnamon rolls were to die for. Pepperoni & cheese croissant and ham & cheese croissants were delicious.”

“Picked up some cupcakes and a cookie from Happy Cakes in Morehead, NC, and they nailed it. The cupcakes were soft, flavorful, and topped with frosting that was smooth and perfectly sweet. The cookie was just as good, with that fresh-baked taste that’s hard to find anywhere else. Staff was friendly and clearly take pride in what they do. Everything tasted homemade in the best way. Definitely a must-visit spot for anyone with a sweet tooth.”

“The food is delicious!! We had the oysters for an appetizer. I had the shrimp and crab pasta with white wine sauce and it was out of this world good!! My boyfriend had the grouper and shrimp and it was delicious as well!! If you are looking for great food in Morehead try Floyds 1921!!”

“Thanksgiving meal perfectly prepared with great attention to detail. This is exactly how takeout is supposed to look. 5⭐️”

“This is the neatest little place. They have family board games, international snacks and the entire process is mostly self serve. We will be back!”

“Absolutely delicious and wonderful service. Very accommodating to gluten s sensitive diets. And… the rice. Nom! Get you any cheesecake offered. You won’t be disappointed. We go quite often and try something new every time! Rose petal cheesecake is my fave cheesecake to date!”

“These are by far the best bagels, cream cheese, and bagel breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had! Even the plain bagel can’t not be compared! The store vibe is welcoming, quaint and so perfectly paired with a waterfront downtown area. You can sit inside to eat or sit outside on their Picnic tables to enjoy the water views! Customer service was top notch. Highly recommend!! You won’t be disappointed!”

“Beautiful atmosphere & you can sit and look at the water! Friendly and fast customer service. I really enjoyed my hot chai latte & breakfast sandwich.”

“We love you down at Nick’s Guns and Gear and Lyon Creek Firearms! This is the best brisket in the whole county.”

“I knew of this place by reputation, and it's well deserved. My only criticism is that my mahi tacos had a bunch of salsa that could have been better-drained, or perhaps double up the tortillas on those.”

“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!!”

“Cashier(young lady) was working but seem like she had clocked out for the day in her mine. Ordered combo...received the chicken but every order did NOT have the chopped BBQ. Complain to General Manager and she made sure we were comp ensated. Visit there each time we get to that area...and will continue to do so...”

“Amazing food and atmosphere ❤️❤️”

“My friend and I just went there this evening. The atmosphere is pleasant and the beer is delicious. What made the evening even better was the owner was friendly and helpful as we didn't know that the kitchen closed early. He made our order and the food was delicious. Highly recommend you all try it out. I will find myself going back again because of this evenings experience.”

“great beer and fun bartenders. way better than the coastal place. This is your place for good beer and food in MC”

“The waffle cone was the best part of the sweet treat. The ice cream didn’t taste that fresh to me and the key lime pie ice cream taste like it has a ton of sand in it that’s scratchy. Nice and clean establishment but ice cream itself didn’t taste better than Hershey’s or Blue Bell.”

“My favorite place since I was a kid. It hasn’t changed and it’s just gotten better. We love the staff.”

“Great place and great staff. Kelly worked the bar and our table; she was awesome. The food was really good, and the service was timely (fast). -Cookie”

“I’m partial to Moxie for personal reasons but even before both my daughters started working there, I frequented the shop. I love the teas and the atmosphere here. It’s refreshing to walk in and more times than not, see kids sitting on the couch studying and doing homework. Places like this are what our kids need. A safe environment where they can go to have a healthy drink, snack and spend time with like minded people.”

“Amazing food! Mike is such a generous host and all around nice guy! Staff is superb! Veal Marsala is off the hook delicious!!! 5 Stars... Highly recommend �”

“Pleasantly surprised. My last experience with Longhorn wasn't so good. This one was exponentially better. Got a ribeye, medium rare. It was actually medium rare and was melt in the mouth delicious. Cooked with butter, tons of flavor. Ceasar salad was great. Got the honey brussels, just so so. Should have gotten mashed or baked potato instead. Service was great! On point and very attentive. Total bill was $75 for three people, bit of a (good) shock for the quality of the steak. Glad I gave it another chance!”

“Got the huge pupusa with four toppings (I chose jalapeño, zucchini, spinach, and loroco) to go. OMG! , soo stinkin good and worth every penny of the $16.00(with tax) price tag! Plus all the little baggies of salsa and slightly spicy picked veggies. Again I will say, OMG! , YUMM!!!”

“Highly recommend!! Food is delicious!!”

“They are on summer hours now! 11am - 2am. First time eating at King Mac’s, and boy it didn’t let us down!!! Under new management now and the staff is awesome, food was even better! Can’t wait for a better weather day to sit on the rooftop patio. Already reserved a rooftop table for the Big Rock Tournament?? I wish…”

“We traveled from Creedmoor and stumbled upon this amazing place. The pizza was better than our normal pizza place and the cheese bread was amazing. Definitely recommend this place.”

“We are here from PA and took our NC grandsons out to breakfast! Great!”

“This is a favorite go to for us when we visit the area. Always great food and service. The fire roasted oysters are delicious. We look forward to the next time.”

“We’ve been here a number of times and each visit has been wonderful. Food and service are excellent. The ONLY negative I have would be that it is not handicap friendly. No low top tables available. Love the atmosphere and the dining experience overall.”

“Delicious burgers, wings, pizza and sides. Pool leagues and tournaments weekly. Best dive bar in Carteret County.”

“First time dining here. It was pretty good. Not on the level of Longhorn Steakhouse, but still good. Macaroni and cheese was not made in house. Tasted like Stouffer’s but still okay. We will come back again and try other things.”

“Love everyone that works at jacks but when Mike and Rudy are working in the kitchen we know our food will be delicious.”

“We’ve visited many times- delicious, quick, affordable. We love this place! So many flavors, and gluten and dairy free.

Lots of parking and outdoor seating, plus you can walk across the street and see the water.”

“Best shrimp burger ever!! Going tomorrow for another one”

“Best bar in town! Jo is amazing, and the food is fabulous!”

“It’s the best!! Super fresh food- always friendly staff...well done!!”

“Absolutely delicious! The toppings are superior to other places in the area. I appreciate the diced ham and the real mushrooms. I'm not a fan of the dried ones. The guys working were super nice and the service was fast, especially for how busy they were.”

“First visit back in some time for whatever reason. I was impressed with the food quality and the service. Kirk was an excellent helper. I will be back sooner now.”

“Excellent service and wonderful pimento burger!”

“We came here for a group dinner. The staff was able to accommodate us and service was faster than I expected. The food came out together and was clearly freshly made. They also have gluten free options for their pizza crust, which is a big plus.”

“Being married to an executive chef, I’ve come to be spoiled, especially in terms of Italian food. This place was amazing. Everyone’s meal was perfection, awesome flavor, perfect texture and the portions were very generous. The service was superlative. And best thing, yet, the owner, Master Chef Carlo, was out and about and was extremely gracious and friendly. I would more than highly recommend this place.”

“I love JM's. Best subs anywhere. Done.”

“Barista was very friendly !! She also made my drink perfect 👌🏼”

“where the Burger King in Morehead I can't wait till the new Burger King open”

“We ate at Southern Salt last night with a group of over 30 people. My wife made reservations a few weeks ago . GREAT FOOD ! GREAT SERVICE ! I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you for making this meal one to remember.”

“This is the best Dunkin’ Donuts in Carteret County! Clean location, accurate, and very friendly staff! My husband and I miss our coffee dates, since they’ve been closed from Florence. We hope you reopen soon!”

“They have an amazing hibachi bar where you pick all the food you want and then they cook it in front of you. Also they have a good amount of sushi options, fruits, salads, and a ton of other food. They also have ice cream cups and give you a fortune cookie at the end.”

“We love going to this IHop for breakfast! We’ve been fortunate to have Iyonia as our server the last two times we visited IHOP, and she is truly exceptional! From the moment she greeted us, she set the tone with her warm personality, professionalism, and genuine attentiveness. She anticipates needs before you even realize them, always with a smile and the kind of energy that makes dining out a real treat.

She is a consummate professional who clearly takes pride in her work, and it shows in every interaction. We will absolutely be asking for her again and again. IHOP is lucky to have her!”
