Good specials. Friendly staff. Eggs and bacon good, pancakes are not very good too thin and tasteless. Coffee was bitter which is usually a cheaper blend. People will pay more to get a great cup of morning coffee. read more

Great service but the food was not seasoned one bit and I'm pretty sure my biscuit was microwaved. Typically diner feel.

Great little diner. This was recommended to us by a local at the Aquarium. We enjoyed the breakfast. The portions are hefty and food delicious. The sausage gravy is the real deal. My kids loved the French toast and indulged in a milk shake as a special treat. These milk shakes are wonderful and flavorful. read more

4 Corners Diner - Eggs, home fries and sausage patties - Diners Near Me - Atlantic Beach, North Carolina

See all

4 Corners is a local favorite. This diner was packed on Saturday morning, so expect a bit of a wait if you come during prime breakfast hours. It was about 25 minutes for a group of 4 at 10:30am. You can expect your standard eggs, sausage, home fries, waffles, pancakes, grits, etc here. Breakfast and lunch is served all day. We can only speak on the breakfast (and chicken tenders), not sure if we would order the other entrees like spaghetti and chicken parm though. read more

I have Celiac Disease and have to avoid gluten. I asked if my eggs could be cooked in a pan and not on the grill because the waitress told me they cook pancakes on the same grill (which is typical at places like this) and makes the chances for cross contamination with gluten very high. The waitress was very sweet and said she see would go ask. I watched her ask this woman at the register that clearly didn't care nor liked many people I saw her interact with. She gave a snotty look and said "No, we can't accommodate that" like she was being asked to cut her right arm off! So the sweet waitress seemed disappointed and came back and told me no. I could tell she wasn't too thrilled about the response either. After thinking about what I should do, she came back and I asked if there was anyway she could please just ask them to clean off the spot where they would cook my eggs. (I really didn't want to have to leave or sit there and watch my daughter eat). She said, "your order will go to the small kitchen(due to where we were seated) so it should be fine. ". I didn't bother asking about the grits or potatoes because it was a lost cause at the point. When she came back with my 2 eggs and bacon (a pile full of bacon) she said, "If it makes you feel any better, the grill where your eggs were cooked..only eggs are cooked there!" So I did feel better...kinda. And she was so genuine. The eggs and bacon were good. And the waitress was sweet. If I could give the place a -10 for the "woman" that hated life working there I would. I won't go back again just because I don't feel like it's safe for celiac and some of the staff could care less. Note- We mainly went there because there was a positive Google review that someone posted about a shellfish allergy and the business responded back with something positive about helping out people with allergies. WRONG!!!! read more

Y'all may know of this as an amazing breakfast place but WOW were we blown away by the delicious dinner we had here. The plates and ambiance is modest and kid friendly but the food is really amazing. Shrimp burger is one of my favorite in town, crab cake burger largest I've ever seen, and priced so well that you can just order what individual things you want. You don't have to think about what sides this or that comes with. We got shrimp basket, crab cake burger, shrimp burger, grits, clam chowder and collared greens finished with a strawberry milkshake. It was great being able to just order anything and it all worked out for my husband and 3 year old daughter, good portions and variety. Great service and super kid friendly. I love how this place has those random trinkets hidden that only kids see and it just gives them something special. read more

This bustling eatery is a great place for traditional American breakfast or lunch. Literally built around a train car it is a local favorite. We were lucky and were seated quickly, but by the time we left there was a long line. Ample parking, btw. Staff were friendly and very efficient. Despite our taking a bit too long making up our mind (three were foreigners, less familiar with the choices) there was no pressure. The food came quickly and was really good. Nothing exotic, if that's what you seek, but many choices of different omelets, flap jacks and so on. read more

Our group of 11 stopped in for dinner around 8 pm and were seated pretty quickly. It's a diner more or less-food and service was good and they also had live music. Our meals consisted of oyster poboy, Mahi and bang bang shrimp tacos, steak, and more. Everyone went home happy and full! read more

My wife and daughter and I used to go there on a regular basis a few years ago but it has been more infrequent in the past few years but have always been very impressed with the Four Corners Diner because the owner would specifically come to our table and greet my daughter who has Down syndrome by name! He would remember it from year to year and my daughter Delights greatly in people talking to her! The food be at breakfast also is awesome would highly recommend it to anyone who is in the area to eat there. Plain Ambience but awesome! read more

Food was subpar. The waitress was very nice and accommodating but the owner was apparently super rude to my father in law. He went up to pay the check and she ripped the receipt out of his hands and just seemed to have a bad attitude. No smile on her face. He ended up taking the tip personally to the waitress so she wouldn't get ripped off. read more

Great breakfast menu and delicious specials. We have visited twice this week already. The waitstaff are friendly and welcoming. Our waitresses were very attentive. We will be having more breakfasts at 4 Corners before we head out. read more

Dismissively sat in empty dining room, server points to WR code for menu and walks away, stands in doorway vaping. We left.

My son went there last week for a diving vacation. After eating an omelette, he came down with the "stomach flu" for four days. Said it cleaned him out. So be warned. read more

Food was good, the waitress was great, and the female owner.? I am assuming, was downright Mean and NASTY! You would think that people here could be kinder to customers who come into their establishment to spend their hard-earned money, especially during these times when money is generally tight!! Please try harder to NOT be SO Rude and Hateful. I know it is probably very difficult since you have been this way your entire life, but keep this in mind... my children were watching you and saw how you behaved and treated us! We are here for two weeks and we're planning to return each morning for breakfast as it was pretty good, but NOT NOW and NEVER Again!! YOU lost your restaurant a five star review that our waitress so kindly deserves and worked for. read more

Great home style food, with great service. The ambiance is welcoming. The place to go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner

Came here because of all the great reviews this place received and it was the closest to us. The parking lot is spacious, but the layout is a bit... odd. Upon entering, I immediately went to wash my hands. The bathrooms were very clean, well stocked, and smelled nice. I joined my group and met our waiter. I have got to say that the service here is amazing (or I got lucky). David, our waiter, was the best part of my group's experience. He was very engaging, extremely helpful, and pretty funny. He managed to CALM a fussy 3yr old. Yes, that deserved its own paragraph. The parents reading this will know how wonderful that is while out dining. The menu is what you would expect of most diners, but with a little more seafoods, as we are on the coast. Our food was served quickly and accurately, which is important as we had a group of 7. Although my people didn't fully enjoy their meal itself, mine was pretty good. I had some of the juiciest chicken fingers, a default side of mashed potatoes wit gravy, and some very unseasoned collard greens. I had to add a lot of salt and hot sauce just to put some flavor to it. Two in my party ordered the fish and chips said that the fish taste like it was the fishsticks you get from the supermarket. We also share a basket of hushpuppies. Although cooked a little hard, they were pretty good. We later learned that they also served bellinis, mimosas, and milkshakes. We would have indulged, but had a long ride ahead of us. I'm stuck between giving it 3 or 4 stars because the food, overall, is mediocre, but the services was phenomenal. read more

Whether you were in Atlantic beach, Morehead City, etc. you should definitely stop at this place for a really good & reasonably priced Breakfast or Lunch. I prefer to go there for breakfast and they have a wide array of varieties to choose from as your breakfast meal. They are not open for dinner. Try the biscuits & gravy, pancakes, various omelettes & grits. This is especially the place to stop if you are headed to the beach to fill your tummy until you leave the beach to go to dinner. Breakfast: Lunch: read more

4 Corners Diner - Specials - Diners Near Me - Atlantic Beach, North Carolina

When you hear diner you expect to know a few things. A menu that is impossibly large, breakfast at all hours, good wholesome environment. Check. Check. Check. Four corners is a regular slice of Americana that met all of our expectations. The meals were all quite filling and tasty. Nothing stood out but everything was fresh. The waitress also went above and beyond offering the best way to get the best price for my vegan friend, who did not have a plethora of items to choose from. read more

The food was good and the service was excellent. We really appreciated the smaller portions section on the menu. My husband and I don't have big appetites so it was perfect for us. read more

My hubby and I wanted a good breakfast and came to 4 Corners...breakfast was delivered very fast and was delicious!! Our server, Carol, was excellent and took such great care of us!! We came back for dinner and asked for Carol!! She is the best!! read more

Our waitress, and especially the bus person, we're on top of their game plan. The food was delivered quickly but very mediocre. My chef's salad was ok. Very little accoutrements and I had to ask for extra tomatoes and onions (weren't any on the salad). My boyfriend's breakfast was a little bit better. read more

Great service, clean and hot yummy food! Loved how the server was so willing to chat up the great spots around town!!

Decided to try this diner for breakfast. Friend of mine lives in the area now and strongly recommended it. There was a short wait (due to COVID social distancing guidelines and 50% capacity). However, the staff was really friendly and helpful. Looking at the menu, I decided to try the Meatlovers omelet. It was quite large and DELICIOUS! The amount of food that was given was very filling. The waitress was awesome and very attentive. I saw food on other tables. Their waffles were HUGE and appeared to be delicious also. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

My husband & I have been coming to this AB landmark diner for over 30 yrs!! In 2024, Tony (original owner) & David are back! They run an excellent restaurant. The staff are friendly and all work together as a team. You'll find that many "locals" also dine here. Definitely give it a try especially at breakfast! read more

Having breakfast here this morning. Service is awesome. Food as always is excellent. We will come back here everytime we are out this way

The service was slow and food over cooked. I have dined there often and always very good, seems like a lot of new employees, I'm hoping it gets better ! read more

Okay spot for breakfast. Was very clean and friendly servers. Just regular run of the mill food though. I didn't care much for my sausage gravy and country ham but my daughter loved her friend her toast. Could use some specialty breakfast items to make it more unique. Clam chowder was mediocre at best. read more

Vacationing here for the week and had eaten at 4 Corners on a previous visit so tried it again. Employees were friendly and service was good but food was disappointing. I got the vegetable omelet with home fries and biscuit. The omelet was paper thin, the vegetables were totally raw (mushrooms were out of a can) and some of the cheese wasn't even completely melted. The "home fries" were small frozen potato cubes that had been fried and were not worth eating. The biscuit had a weird texture and was hard to cut in half and pull apart to spread butter on -- oh wait, there was no butter, only margarine. My husband got pancakes and they were ok, but kind of spongy. I don't think we'll be going back. read more

This place is an institution. Diner food at its best. You can get waffles, eggs or fried shrimp. Only open in the morning and always crowded. read more

Arrived for breakfast on early Sunday morning. I had the biscuits and gravy, 2 eggs and sausage patties. Everything was excellent. The gravy has diced sausage and ham in it. The biscuit was light and fluffy. The gravy is the best I've ever tasted. Can't say enough about it. The service was excellent. The food was delivered quickly and it was hot. Thank you! read more

Great breakfast. Nothing fancy, exactly what you would expect in the best way. Sign said they were short staffed but our food came out quickly and the service was great. read more

Don't waste your time with this place. Service was horrible the food was bland and decent at best. I got the 4 corners special and waited 45 minutes for 2 burnt sausage Patty's bland and dry scrambled eggs and some decent pancakes. The waitresses acted as if everything you needed was an inconvenience. Will not be returning. read more

We came here for breakfast recently and it's a pretty solid option on the island. The place was busy and I think they were a bit understaffed, but our server was great and apologized about anything that took slightly longer. My husband and I each had an omelette. I got the vegetable omelette and potatoes as a side. I thought the omelette was decent but a little underdone. The potatoes were very good. My husband got a cheese omelette and grits and toast as a side. The cheese options are limited - it seemed like cheddar was the only option. We both had that in our omelettes which was fine but would be nice to have other options. His grits were great. The menu was pretty expansive and it seems like people come here for other meals as well. There's a lot of lunch options and dinner options as well. I don't think I personally would try it for anything besides breakfast, but I'll be back to try something else for breakfast soon! read more

A long standard for locals and tourists. The wait was minimal the food good but, it was so loud you can't carry a conversation.

Ruined my order twice Overcooked a hamburger two times and spent 45 minutes waiting for food. After the second burger failure the owner told the waitress to take $2 off the price of my meal...lol! Unexpected and inexcusable cheap move. A once repeat customer will not return. Waitress offered to pay for my meal out of her own earnings which thought was a wonderful gesture, but not something I would accept from a hard working person read more

We stopped here while in Atlantic Beach as it looked like it was a happening place. We waited for about 20 minutes to get seated, which was not bad. I will say the food was below average with all of it arriving to our table cold. For two people we ended up paying $30 for really poor quality food. read more
