Dairy Queen (Treat) Ice Cream Shop • $
1 Roosevelt Blvd NC Aquarium, Pine Knoll Shores

“There is nothing better than grabbing a Blizzard right after finishing the aquarium tour. It’s conveniently located right at the exit, making it an impossible stop to resist. The staff is always friendly and quick, even when it gets busy. It’s a 'Treat Center' (so mostly ice cream and drinks), which is exactly what we needed to cool off. A sweet bonus to a great day at Pine Knoll Shores!“

“My husband loves DQ, we make frequent stops while traveling especially while at Atlantic Beach at this location. They have the best cones. I don’t know what is different about their ice cream here but it is creamy and more tasty.
Little girl that waited on us this week , we went every evening, was great. They were lined out the door and she was efficient and quick all with a smile. She needs a raise!“

“Wow, what a great meal! The pepperoni pizza was just like I remembered from years ago when Pizza Hut, in Raleigh area, was the place to go. So glad we’ve found this jewel in Morehead City. The wings were tasty as well. Our waitress, Leslie was busting her behind keeping our sweet tea glasses filled, along with bringing the food out quickly. The restaurant was getting more busy while we were eating in, and Leslie never missed a beat. She was friendly, pleasant and very personable. We’ll be back soon and we’ll look for Leslie 😊“

“On a beach trip from Raleigh, my friends and I will never miss a YUMMY trip to SUB TROPICS. And there are many! It is conveniently located at the beach on the main road, Ford Macon Road en route to the Circle and other Atlantic Beach public shorelines. Beachgoers can shop local and stop in for something refreshing and will love colorful Sub Tropics - a sandwich, wrap and smoothie spot that's located in the heart of Atlantic Beach, just off the Atlantic Beach Causeway. I love what one review on google said, "cheerful customization from the chief, Charles." I also added a pic of some dolphins we saw. Be kind to the animals tho and be sure pick up all of your trash while at the beach. Stop in to SUB TROPICS for a treat on your next beach vacay.“

“We were rushed through our order. They were not busy but kept rushing. Even though husband restated order with only items his smashburger still had sauce on it. When brought it to the attention employee stated it comes with it but she would have them remake it. My smashburger didn't have the sauce and I had a specialty also.“

“I don't usually review a McDonald's, but this one is an exception. I went to this location for a little breakfast while waiting for my dog to be done at the groomer. There was a part of me that said just order through the app and eat it in my truck. But I'm glad I didn't! The staff here was probably the friendliest I've seen at a McDonald's. They knew a lot of the customers by name, greeted everyone that came in and it seemed like a local mom and pop restaurant the way they moved around and treated everyone. It was clean and will definitely return. Keep up the good work.“

“This place is absolutely awesome. The cheddar style burgers are phenomenal. We had, onion rings, cheese bites, cheese and cheeseburger quesadillas and all were so good. Our food was served incredibly fast and piping hot. We also got an Oreo and a peach cobbler shake that were both super thick so you definitely need a spoon and they were excellent. Can employees wear really friendly and patient with a customer who was there for the very first time and was having a hard time navigating the menu lol.“

We went back to try the Arch burger, and I have to say that it was really tasty. Now it is sloppy, but tasty, so I would recommend giving it a try.“
