“This restaurant is way above almost any other restaurant regardless of the price and type of food and location. I’ve lived all over. They move quick, make consistently tasty food in a clean and comfortable environment. If I owned a restaurant, these are the types of people I would hire.”

“Friendly and welcoming upon entering. Impressively clean, especially the restrooms- extra extra points. Bartenders are always attentive, talkative, they know their stuff and their products so they can always help customers like myself who don't drink often but want to try something new. The owner is present, heavily involved in community events and fundraisers, and is always donating to those in need. She jumps in when needed without hesistation- the definition of a devoted, kind, involved business owner.”

“I want to give a huge shoutout for your service on Super Bowl Sunday . During a busy crazy rush you rocked it”

“Loved it! The lady at the drive thru was so nice the first time. I went inside the second time and the manager was rocking it. The assistant manager (i think) was also doing an amazing job. You could tell they were training new people and were so patient but efficient!”

“Updated review: Well they seem to have gotten themselves together. Orders have become timely once again, haven't had an 'out of stock' issue for some time, and new batch of staff are much more pleasant.

Previous review: Consistently I have been having problems here since the new crew. Pre ordering is pointless as they take walk ins before online orders regardless of how early you send it in. They do not read special instructions sent to them. And if there is some issue with your order, they will not contact you about it, nor make any attempt to make as much of the order as they can to speed up the process. This place used to be good.”

“If this is the BJ in Newport NC, My husband wanted a BBQ sandwich . It was delicious. My tenders were tender. The only thing is drive through is Sooooo is so slow! Y'all need to work on that badly”

“Staff is fantastic, food is terrific and great prices! So much for your money!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🌴🍽️✨”

“My wife and I were here last night for our anniversary dinner, second time dining here to celebrate. I cannot say enough how impressed we were. From the warm greeting we received the second we walked in to the speedy seating, to the cozy atmosphere . The wait staff was wonderful, informative, and friendly. The food? Incredible! Lobster and crab dip very tasty ....the Scallops were truly amazing and fresh cooked to absolutel PERFECTION. Tuna, amazing . Veggies, perfect. Everything was hot and served very quickly. To top it off the owner took the time to speak with us at the end of our dinner. He was incredibly nice and educated us on seafood. One of the things that really speaks volumes about this restaurant was him and the fact that the waitress told us later it's a wonderful place to work and the staff is treated well! That's rare to hear. Great job by all and we will be back”
