we had lunch here because i like to eat seafood when i'm near the ocean. unfortunately, you could get fresher at the likes of long john silver's for a lot less (our bill came to almost $30 for two adults and a child). my husband had a fish sandwich that made the fillet o' fish look gourmet. that, the clam strips i had and the fries all seemed to clearly come out of the frozen food section of the nearest warehouse food store. our 3 year old had a cheeseburger, which actually looked homemade, but it wasn't anything to write home about, either. seems like this joint is better known for its breakfasts, tho i will say i didn't get the impression much from any part of the menu was made from scratch. the only reason for the two stars is our waitress was awesome, the staff was generally friendly and my husband got a carafe of coffee along with his first cup, which he always finds impressive. as a side note, we paid $10 to park in their lot all day while going to the beach and the young man monitoring the lot was blasting gangster rap out of the back of his open SUV. i like rap, but don't necessarily want my 3 year old hearing all the colorful language it generally entails. read more

Food was a little salty (roast beef with gravy) but great service and great price. I would recommend it to anyone looking for dinner food.

Low quality food, seafood is all frozen not fresh like you would expect at the beach, everything else seemed to come out of a can. Bleh.

We were disappointed. We were told to try this place for breakfast. The line out the door made it look promising. However, we were disappointed. We ordered french toast, Belgian waffles and sausage links. The sausage was still fairly pink. It looked homemade or local but the taste just wasn't great for us. The french toast was okay but lacked a little taste. The Belgian waffle was good with strawberries and cream. Also, we didn't find one item for the advertised breakfast starting at $3.95. read more

4 Corners Diner has never disappointed. I have been a customer for more than 15 years. While on a Saturday or Sunday morning there can be a bit of a crowd and wait, it is always worth it. The diner has a really old fashion charm and feel. Very well priced and extensive menu options. Fanastic find! read more

Excellent food. Outstanding service. Very reasonable prices. One of our "must eat there" on our frequent trips to Atlantic Beach.

Best meal we had while on vacation. Service was good. Staff was very friendly. Our family group went in for lunch. We all ordered different meals. Some off the breakfast menu some from the lunch menu it was all good. It will be my go to while on vacation from now on. read more

When I think diner I think home cooking, which this was not. Mum sister and brother-in-law had omelets, which were thin, undercooked, and clearly made with egg beaters. My scrambled eggs had no flavor but when it's not real egg what do you expect? My mother's French toast was made on thin bread and appeared not to have been coated before cooked. The service was alright but my drink stood empty many times. The only thing I can't complain about was my sausage gravy biscuit. I know food is more expensive near the beach but when your eggs aren't even real it's definitely excessive. read more

This is such a great place to grab breakfast on the beach! Simply wonderful, home-cooked meals with fast and friendly service! They even remembered us and our orders the next day! read more

Typical truck stop type diner . I liked that they brought a small pot of coffee so I could refill my cup myself . Breakfasts were a reasonable price and size . read more

We have been going 4 corners for 10+ years and we are willing to wait for a table when busy with summer vacationers. Most of the staff have been there for all of these years. We are on a first name basis with most staff who seem happy to be slinging hash there! We catch up on kids, grandkids even battles with cancer! The staff, cooks included are amazing at what they do. Now about the food..., We are mostly breakfast diners but I had a delicious Gyro plate once ( and I am picky when it comes to gyros!) I am blown away by how fast our food is served-like faster than it would take for most cooks to read an order, this is so even when they are packed! The food is CONSISTENTLY great, I mean every time I dine there my eggs are cooked perfectly, over easy. again no matter how busy. Fresh and delicious! They even add more grilled onions to the homefried potatoes I order! If you are visiting or driving near Atlantic Beach, NC stop in for an authentic, delicious Diner meal. This has made me hungry so I'm off to $ corners..., read more

I've been here many of many of times and it is always amazing! Home style true diner food. Very quick and great service. Very tasty food. Definitely will be back read more

Classic diner, quick service and great food. Loved the country ham! It can get pretty crowded here, so get there early, but it is definitely worth the wait! read more

We stopped or breakfast. The parking lot was packed so we thought we'd give it a try. Ordered corned beef hash, eggs and homefries after asking the waitress what she recommended. "The corned beef hash is out of a can, but they cook it on the grill." LOL... OK... still game (The place was packed and we thought "all these people can't be wrong"). The eggs ordered over medium were not done at all, the whites were still runny. The "homefries" are obviously frozen and tasted of freezer burn. The corned beef hash... was exactly what we expected from the waitresses description. The atmospher: has potential and charm based on the diner car counter just inside the front door; however we were ushered to the back of the resturant where the booths are so crowded together, the person behind me had their elbows hanging over into our booth. The service: these ladies were busy! The food came out quickly, but it appeared some more staffing was needed. Our bill was not totaled (that's done at the register)... I'm sure this practice cheats the hard working waitresses out of some tips. Overall: I do not recommend the 4 Corner Diner for breakfast. Based on the undercooked eggs and non-fresh food items; I have a feeling lunch and/or dinner would not be much better. read more

I am only going to comment on my dish. Avoid the Clam Chowder (Laughable) Canned chicken soup with 1 can of clams thrown in to five gallons. Takes 15 minutes to figure out if its clam chowder or cream of chicken from Cambells,. Shame on you. WORST CLAM CHOWDER EVER, BY FAR.... read more

The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly. We had waffles. French toast, and omelet and all of it was delicious.

Prompt and competent service, the expected menu for a diner and a friendly but not too talkative owner. Very clean and nice decor. Our visit was a pleasant experience and I'd happily return. read more

None of their fish is caught local. I had the cod... It was pretty much frozen fish sticks. The first time they brought the food out the center of the fish was cold, so I sent it back, and they brought it back burnt. Maybe their other food is better, but I definitely don't recommend the fish. read more

Frozen generic products prepared in an uninspired manner. Save some cash, go to the freezer section of Food Lion

I got 2 eggs with cheese, sausage, toast, and grits. $ 9.02. Nothing to drink. I guess they charge more for a take out. Wow, kinda pricey. I have eat there for years. Glad I didn't have the family. The food is good, but my last visit there. read more

Maybe we are just picky, but I've had better pancakes and French toast. We ate here Mother's Day weekend and had about a five minute wait at 9:30 in the morning, which wasn't bad at all, but I can't imagine what the wait would be like during the peak summer season. Staff was WONDERFUL! Food came out quickly and waitress was spot on with refills and checking on us. The only negative: the breakfast was mediocre and my husband's sausage link was not fully cooked (but waitress did not hesitate to take it off the bill)! read more

This is a great place for breakfast. The length sausage is really good. The hot cakes are good too. The coffee is better at MCDONALD's.

On the corner of Fort Macon Road and Atlantic Beach Causeway sits an unassuming diner aptly named 4 Corners. Part of my family crew met up here for Sunday breakfast/brunch before parting ways later that day. One of our crew had spent time in the area but had not eaten there - yet. My fiance and I split the veggie omelet and the French toast with 2 eggs, both amazingly and surprisingly good! The side order of biscuit was also super good. The diner was hopping, jumping lively on a Sunday morning - very popular spot. Customer service was pretty good as well. Can't speak to the prices of the dishes since I'm so used to Hawaii prices! If I'm ever in the area again, would definitely stop by! read more

The 4 corners diner is great. Great food, great service. It is a tradition to eat breakfast any time we are in Atlantic Beach!

Great little place to grab some fresh, hot food. The staff are friendly and fast. The portions are very large and you can't beat the prices. The next time we are in the area we will definitely stop by and grab a bite. read more

Very great service. I have been coming here for the past three years when I visit Atlantic Beach. Sometimes we have to wait a bit for a table which is completely understandable especially at busy breakfast hours. Today we were seated instantly. The servers are always quick and very attentive. My friend and I both ordered breakfast items and they were prepared quickly. Food was delicious as always. Definitely a staple to come grab a quick breakfast while at the beach. read more

This place was adorable. Old beach-y diner. Went here after the Crystal Coast 5k. I got the special of 2 pancakes (added chocolate chips), 2 eggs scrambled (added cheese), and link sausage. The pancakes were really good and light and fluffy. The sausages were bigger than I was picturing and kind of flavorless but the pancakes made up for it. Service was great and the food came out wicked fast for how busy they were. read more

gigantic menu French toast was phenomenal. staf was really cool. great little diner. those who said get there early are spot on, plan on a wait. definitely on my go back to list read more

I can't believe this is my first check in here! It's a regular stop when we're in AB. It's in walking distance of the house we stay at. It's a diner, so just expect a diner kind of place. Noisy, bustling, a little crowded. But the staff is the best. Welcoming, friendly, great with kids. And they can usually give you the scoop on what's going on in the area. I get the impression they hire all the moms in AB! read more

Liver and onions are exceptional. The tables are very clean which is unusual for a restaurant that serves a lot of pancakes and waffles with syrup. Service is prompt and friendly. Another review stated this restaurant is better than normal greasy spoons. That is a gross mischaracterization as this is a very clean DINER. Wide variety menu with breakfast served all day. read more

If you love diners, go to 4 Corners Diner in Atlantic Beach. Such a quintessential diner! We had cheeseburgers and club sandwiches-both great! Solid diner food, good fries, good service-cool diner vibe. Great place to go! read more

The food here was alright but they overcharged my family and when we tried to tell the manager about it she was very rude and did not handle it in a professional way at all. read more

Food is great here. Awesome customer service. Fairly priced. Usually have a little bit of a wait, but it's worth it. Definitely a must check out spot if visiting Atlantic Beach. read more

Typical diner. Breakfast all day. Kids love it. Food is a bit salty. Service is great. I haven't tried lunch or dinner there.

Great place for breakfast, coffee is a little weak but good food and old fashion style. Super friendly staff with outstanding service.

It's a dive. So with that expectation I suppose it's fine. It's hard to screw up bacon and eggs. But I got a slightly runny omelette, undercooked bacon, and chopped up french fries masquerading as home fries. My son's pancakes were done right, but nothing available to spread on them but hydrogenated soybean oil spread and artificial "maple" syrup. Yum! It gives the appearance of a place everyone's dying to get into as it's in a perfect location, but I think the real draw is it's the only place to get breakfast without crossing back to the mainland. Waitress was nice. Food came out quickly. It's not haute cuisine is all I'm sayin. read more

Good place to eat when in the area. Quick service. Food is always tasty. My family always comesherw at least once every summer when we are on vacation. Wr have never had a bad experience. read more

Staff was friendly, we were seated quickly and our food arrived a lot faster then what I expected. The restaurant and the restrooms were clean and orderly. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was the price. Seemed like we should have received more food for what was paid. Our orders were correct, and the food was very tasty. read more

Great food at great prices. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and awesome. The decor is blah and the location can make parking difficult, but its a must eat by far for anyone in the Atlantic Beach area. read more

Great breakfast place on the beach. Nice "diner" atmosphere. Can get crowded and may have a short wait during prime time. Best place for breakfast on the beach. read more
