It was too loud to have a normal conversation. Ambiance = 2. i ordered flounder and my wife got the shrimp burger. She was satisfied with her meal, but it was just OK. Mine was not. The flounder (fried) was soggy and mushy with dark skin underneath. Still, there was little flavor and because for some reason the cook plated the fish on top of the included fries, they were soggy as well. Overall, I got the impression they aren't trying to be anything but a an overpriced mediocre joint in a captive market.

The wait around 6 on a Sunday night really wasn't too bad, I think about 30 minutes, for 3 pizzas and 2 orders of wings. We got (3) large (18") pizzas, one cheese, one meat lovers and one peperoni, and then (2) orders of their buffalo wings. The food was ready when we got there, and overall, was pretty good. The crust was a bit doughy, and and real flavorful on it's own, but as far as toppings, they loaded it up, and with the sauce, toppings and cheese, it was decent pizza for the price. The wings were also decent, a fair split of drums and flats, and a good flavor to the buffalo sauce. There was more than enough food for 7 adults, and even some left over to snack on for the remaining days. Pricing was fair, staff friendly on the phone and when we picked up. I'd go back.

This is an unexpectedly great restaurant right at the center of activity in Atlantic Beach. In my…read moreexperience, finding good seafood restaurants in and around Atlantic Beach (even including Morehead City - where there are a dwindling few) can be surprisingly difficult, especially compared to the pelagic bounty of most coastal Carolina towns. Bahia has probably the best food I've had from any of the current crop of Atlantic Beach places. Every dish I've tried so far has been excellent. One in particular needs to be highlighted. The crab dip is possibly the best I've ever eaten, anywhere. You need to try it. Pro tip: Be prepared for the generous amount of butter and oil in and on the food -- it adds to the richness and is definitely a good thing, but you'll want to be careful if you're planning on performing microsurgery or wiping your eyeglasses. There is unobtrusive but good quality live music, which is always a plus (and seems more well-considered than the solo guitar dudes repeatedly playing "Free Fallin" at the neighboring restaurants and bars). The air conditioning indoors does a heroic job of keeping the restaurant a relatively nice temperature, as well.

Although Bahia seem casual, they do have a pretty good service and set…read more We tried 3 dishes and enjoyed most of them. - Crab dip was very very good. - hamburger was cooked medium rare (really) unlike many other restaurants. - meat balls we're not as satisfactory as the sauce was quite sweet.

We were here around 9:30 on a Saturday and waited about 40 minutes, but that flew by because we were able to go sit in their coffee/mimosa bar area and wait to be paged. The vibes in both spaces are pretty classic beach diner. It's a relaxed but busy atmosphere. Our waiter was super attentive and kind and we didn't feel rushed despite how busy they were. I had the Land and Sea Benedict, which comes on a giant biscuit and has fried green tomatoes, eggs done your way, shrimp, Cajun gravy, and bacon crumbles. I am particular about biscuits and this one was excellent (soft without being doughy, appropriately crumbly without falling apart). The tomatoes were super crispy without being overly greasy. My over-easy eggs were perfect, as were the shrimp, and the gravy was excellent. The grits I had with it really lived up to their reputation of being smooth and creamy, with no need for butter. My mom had the "Kitchen Sink" omelet, and very much enjoyed it. The ingredients were fresh and nothing was over or under done, which can be hard with such a variety of ingredients. The home fries that came with it were terrifically crispy. I also appreciate that they make their own hot sauce, as well as the mix for their Bloody Mary (which my mom also loved) I enjoyed my peach mimosa and got a kick out of all of the different flavor options. I'd love to explore their lunch menu too. I'll definitely frequent again next time I'm out this way!

AVOID THIS PLACE IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!!!!!!! This place is a JOKE!!! This place is OVERPRICED and OVERRATE!!! Banks Grill is just across the bridge and the service is exceptional! Cox's is also another alternative that is soooo much better! Better food and both places offer EXCEPTIONAL service and better prices! No owners yelling across the restaurant in a foreign language about how annoying you are for wanting a table in their joke of an establishment! You don't have to wait for a table or deal with a RUDE OWNER yat either of these other restaurants! The owner of 4 Corners Diner is an EVIL OLD HAG! Who looks like Jafar from Aladdin. This EVIL OLD HAG is unbelievably RUDE to paying customers!!!! Her husband and son deserve WAY better! The staff are just as unkind and unfriendly. Especially the server with no eyebrows and all the piercings and no lips. She has one piercing on her bottom "lip"(or lack there of) that looks like a bedazzled herpes outbreak. She's fat too but bc she probably eats her feelings. Mad that her life has amounted to being nothing more than a crappy sever in a crappy restaurant and can't afford the lipo, eyebrows, and lip injections she needs in order to be considered the least bit attractive. She's got big back disease too but nothing like the morbidity obese server. You'll see her fat freckle faceyyy a** coming from a mile away bc she's about the size of a Mac truck. She has Big Back disease. She definitely can't afford all the lipo it would take to make her a "normal" sized human being. Don't worry about cleaning your plate I'm sure she goes in the back and eats your scraps off of them anyway. She definitely eats her feelings, and yours too for that matter. Then the last awful server has thin stringy black hair and outdated glasses frames from like 2006. She looks like she used to use meth. She thinks she's a good server but my companion ordered home fries and not grits and she brought her grits instead, she also never brought us our toast. I also had to wait an incredibly long time for my refill. THIS PLACE IS A JOKE!!!! The owner is a miserable old hag who also suffers from big back disease. Meaning her back is so big you could post a billboard add on it and still have room for more advertising. They could've saved themselves five pages of useless ads in their menu by putting all the advertisements on a 5XL shirt for "Mama" to wear. I'm pretty sure "Mama" is stealing from the staff. Seeing as how that old hag processes all credit card transactions and then gives them a check at the end of the week. I'd bet a million dollars that old hag is taking her "cut" of all those transactions. The servers have no way to prove what they've made bc she keeps all the credit card receipts. Hmmmm seems suspicious to me. If only they were bright enough to question what was being done with their credit card transactions. I guess they're not smart enough to see what's happening in front of them with their own eyes, with THIER own credit card transactions. I guess not I guess they're happy and their lil $400 a week checks are fine with them. Meanwhile "Mama" is taking home ALL their tips!!! Probably using their money on Botox and bad makeup to cover up the fact that she looks like Jafar and is old af!!! Serves them right. Dumb F**** read more
