“We had a wonderful evening at Circa 81 today! The food and staff are fabulous! Peter and Jared the reservation host were a pleasure! Thanks for everything! Loved the steak, pork Wellington, and sea food Mac & Cheese Tapas. We even had room for delicious desserts! 😉 The Fox family!”

“This place hands down had the best fish tacos in the area. It was such a chill spot and an absolutely gem of a spot if you have kiddos. The Buffalo shrimp were to die for and no joke … the ranch really was life changing! Thanks for serving such amazing food with a family friendly atmosphere.”

“We had a delightful lunch on the way back from Pine Knoll Shores. So glad I drove a little extra to give it a try. I will be back.”

“Great local spot, a true institution. Pizza is real NY style and run by the nicest guys. Far and away the best cheesesteak in the area. I feel bad for the people leaving a bad review since they wouldn’t know good pizza if it hit them in the face.”

“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!”

“Damn, reading these petty one star reviews make me so mad. I live 3 mins from HappyCake. They are AMAZING. If anything I would say these are a tiny tad too sweet for me personally but that is what Americans like. But i dont think these are too sweet for 99.9% of you all out there! So order away with no worries.”

“First time here. The service was great. The food was awesome and so was the margaritas!

This was our “go to” Mexican restaurant. After today, no more. They’ve added a $3 charge to use your debit card. Also, the waiter failed to put in my husband’s order and blamed it on the kitchen. I think he was new but he should have stepped up and told us. We were over charged on our margaritas also. I think we’ll take a break and find another Mexican “go to”. Too bad”

“Most amazing, affordable, delicious, and hands down, the best hidden gem on the island. If you haven't eaten here, you are missing out. You will luck out if they have the smoked chicken salad special. All in all, everything I have tasted from Beach Burgers is out of this world excellent. It's my new favorite place to eat. There is something for everyone. I would give it ten stars if I could. ?”

“My favorite place since I was a kid. It hasn’t changed and it’s just gotten better. We love the staff.”

“My husband and I decided to check this place out for breakfast during our visit in Morehead City. So glad we did!! . The breakfast was delicious! Prices were very reasonable. 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. Will definitely be back!!”

“This is the neatest little place. They have family board games, international snacks and the entire process is mostly self serve. We will be back!”

“Great burgers-juicy and cooked to perfection. The onion rings were amazing!! Thinly sliced with a great batter!!”

“We always enjoy coming to get ice cream, the candy, and the smoothies are so delicious! This visit we tried the fudge also… do yourself a favor and get some! It was the best fudge EVER!!!”

“I knew of this place by reputation, and it's well deserved. My only criticism is that my mahi tacos had a bunch of salsa that could have been better-drained, or perhaps double up the tortillas on those.”

“Super great food and great people! From catering to dining in, always delicious and highly recommended.”
