“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“

“Great beach bar with affordable drinks and excellent service! Be sure to bring your ID—and even your pup can hang out with you until 9 PM. The only drawback is that there didn’t seem to be any air conditioning, so I can imagine it gets pretty warm in the summer. Still, the atmosphere was awesome, and I’ll definitely be back!“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at 30 Degrees North in Beaufort, North Carolina. Our waitress, Molly, was amazing — incredibly efficient, knowledgeable, and truly a professional through and through. She took such great care of us.

The food was very good, and we were pleasantly surprised by how reasonably priced the meals were. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and one of the best parts was that it wasn’t too noisy — we could actually enjoy real conversation.

Overall, this is a great spot and truly a little hidden gem that many people may not know about. Highly recommend visiting 30 Degrees North if you’re in the area!“
