The coleslaw tasted fresh, the Brunswick stew was a hit with my family, and their hushpuppies were very tasty. I would definitely go there again.“

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.

“Grits were the best I’ve ever had, so creamy! I would highly recommend!! Overall a great experience the only thing I would change is there was one lady working at the front register and we waited 15 minutes in line to pay while she answered the phone and checked people out but there were 3 girls at the host stand who probably could have answered the phone to get the check out line through quicker.“

“Best fried oysters I've ever had!!“

“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!“

“Enjoyed an excellent breakfast, we ordered off the menu vs the buffet, it was 2 good plates, well presented and prices were reasonable compared to other hotel restaurants I’ve been too.
