“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for great food served with salty air vibes and a whole lot of coastal charm, this spot in Morehead City, NC is an absolute gem. 🌊🐚 From the moment you walk in, it feels like vacation—laid-back, welcoming, and full of good energy. The food? Always on point. We make it a rule to try something new every visit, and somehow it never disappoints. Fresh flavors, generous portions, and that kind of cooking that makes you want to sit back, relax, and stay awhile. What really sets this place apart is the family-friendly atmosphere mixed with unbeatable beach-town vibes. Whether you’re local or just passing through, it’s the kind of place that makes you say, “Yep… this is why I love the coast.” Great service, amazing food, good vibes, and a true Morehead City coastal feel. We’ll be back again and again—highly recommend! 🌴🍽️✨“

“We celebrated New Years Eve with reservations at The Prime, and had a wonderful experience. The shrimp cocktail,served with melted butter and housemade cocktail sauce is now a new fav! The sides are served "family style" and easily enough for 2 people. Our server suggested we order a couple and share since it was so hard to choose from the variety of sides. Everything we ordered was delicious. My steak was a little too rare when it came out but the chef had no problem putting it back on and it came back out cooked perfectly. The entire wait staff was friendly and everyone made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back.“

“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 atmosphere! Our waitress was so sweet (Monica) and the host at the front (Ronald) was the highlight of our night! He was dressed up for the holiday and just a delight. The food was outstanding as always!“

“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.“

“Relaxed and clean atmosphere with friendly employees.

BBQ sandwhich all the way (with coleslaw) was good, they have bottles of different sauces so you can make it your own! So I did.
Friend with me had the BBQ and chicken plate. The chicken was huge! Being me, I tasted it, the skin was crisp and light and the meat was tender and juicy.
There are many options to eat on the menu that anyone should be able to find something good to eat!“

“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…“

“I took my son here for his birthday last September and we were not disappointed! We went early on a Sunday afternoon and were seated immediately. Our waitress was amazing and because it was our first (but definitely not our last) visit, we asked her for recommendations. She recommended the Brussels sprouts appetizer, which was delicious. My son got the Hawaiian Special and it disappeared in record time. I definitely recommend the homemade blue cheese dressing if you like it ordinarily, because it puts the stuff in a bottle to shame. At the front of the restaurant (by the restrooms) are walls filled with photos and the history of the establishment, which I found fascinating. We marked the occasion by grabbing a couple of tee shirts on our way out.“

“Been going here for while now little after they moved to the nice new location love the sushi n hibachi every time I can get chance wouldn't pass it up“

“Yummy! Always great service“
