“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!“

“Best shrimp burger ever!! Going tomorrow for another one“

“We celebrated New Years Eve with reservations at The Prime, and had a wonderful experience. The shrimp cocktail,served with melted butter and housemade cocktail sauce is now a new fav! 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.“

“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.“

“TOT has always been the spot for my friends and I to enjoy food, fun and laughter. They have been so good to us! We have never been discriminated against ever! Best food around! Best bartenders around. We love TOT !!!!“

“Absolutely amazing! Food was fresh and hot, and the workers were very concerned and courteous about people with food allergies. I recommend this place whether you're in town or ourselves vacationers! Thank you so much Moore's staff!!!“

“Beautiful view of the water. Great food. Friendly staff.“

“Been going here for while now little after they moved to the nice new location love the sushi n hibachi every time I can get chance wouldn't pass it up“

“This is an addition to a previous review from a year or so ago. I now live in the area, and have found that the service and food is just as good as when I was in AB as a visitor. 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.“

“Great food and service never been disappointed“

“We really liked Molly's! I had shrimp tacos and they were delicious. Our server was the sweetest. Molly is dog friendly and she immediately brought them water and a little pup cup. My husband had a flounder filet sandwich with bacon and my friend and husband had a painkiller cocktail and Molly's I right off the beach!
Our friend recommended it and now we do too!“

“The staff is extremely friendly. the rooms are a bit outdated, but the service that you receive makes it well worth it. the views are unbelievable because you face the ocean and it is wonderful. you also have the balconies with the microwave and a refrigerator and a safe if you need it. so overall the hotel is wonderful. however, the restaurant rising tide the service is awful. their rejection of people just because they're not buying anything to sit on their property is unreal. 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“
