    “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”

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!”

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.”

It is winter-time yet the food is still top notch and the service outstanding. My mother loves the Three-C chowder which is chunky, creamy, and chock full of seafood (I had to get in my 3-Cs!). The shrimp dinner has an ample portion of shrimp and the sides are a nice addition. Burgers are cooked as you ask, and tater tots make it an awesome meal. The wait staff in here are incredibly friendly, efficient, and personable. I still highly recommend On the Rocks as the food is delicious and reasonably priced, and the service is impecable. These ladies are awesome! For a great place to eat during the winter as well as the busy season, I will continue to go to On the Rocks.”

Whether it’s Kelsey or Tracey at the bar, you’re going to get really good drinks and very prompt service. My wife and I have enjoyed the shrimp tacos, shrimp, burger, chopped salad with grilled chicken, and flounder BLT. All with plenty of painkillers to drink! Room service is great if you’re staying at the DoubleTree. Bar service and takeout are equally good. The portions are more than ample.

I recommend you eat elsewhere, stay at the hotel and find you a different restaurant to eat. four corners is a wonderful restaurant for breakfast and lunch. rising tide is awful for breakfast and lunch or dinner and it's extremely expensive”
