Just about everyone that came through the door knew at least one other person at the bar. They had several specials the evening that we went and I opted for Jeff's homemade turkey and rice soup and the grilled cheese. It was delicious! I don't know Jeff, but I swear my grandmother was the one making the soup in that kitchen...yummy!!! you can tell by the picture that I had already finished half of the grilled cheese before I remembered to take a pic. The soup was very filling and they definitely didn't skimp on any of the ingredients. We will be back the next time we visit Atlantic Beach!

Ioanni's Grill is one of those places that may feel like a casual neighborhood bar when you walk…read morein, but the food consistently punches way above expectations. The prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and honestly, most everything we've tried has been really good. Their Greek salad is one of my favorites -- fresh, flavorful, and big enough to make a meal, especially when you add blackened shrimp, buffalo shrimp, chicken, or whatever protein you're in the mood for. They also make great pizzas, wings, and subs. My husband and I will sometimes split a sub because they're so generous with portions. What really keeps us coming back, though, is the atmosphere and the people. It's relaxed, unpretentious, and the staff are always friendly and easy to interact with. Just a solid local spot with consistently great food.

I've been to QAR several times, for dinner, lunch and drinks. The food never disappoints and the…read moreservers are all friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. Two notable things: no fried foods, including fries, and all their beers on tap are from a local Morehead City brewery called Tight Lines Brewery. They have 8 taps. So there are IPA's, lagers and even a sour if that's your jam. Back to food, the one criticism I have is their potato salad. That doesn't live up to the rest of the place. Try the mahi, Rueben tuna, or Shrimp Mac and cheese. You won't be disappointed.

The food was plentiful and good. Maybe it was the time of day, but the ambience is fairly lackluster and it reminded me of a peppier room at a VFW. I don't live locally, so possibly at night time it's got a different vibe with more people, so I looked towards the other reviews for a more well-rounded opinion:

Not to mention the nosy Caucasian lady constantly staring while I'm eating. if I could give negative stars, I absolutely without a shadow of a doubt would. please consider before wasting your footsteps walking in this place. P.S change the scenery, the fighting horses on the wall has nothing to do with pizza.

I ended up mixing my pizza and burrata together and it was delicious lol Our server got a bit of a mix up on our order so it took us a while to get our food. She was still very nice and apologetic about it. Overall chill vibes here.

We get a cheese and pep to eat there and a whole pie to go to eat the next day on the long drive home. It doesn't look like anything super special, but don't let that fool you. The crust is perfectly crunchy on the bottom with a few bubbles on the top. I'd say we fight over the bubble pieces but everyone knows Mom gets first dibs. The sauce isn't sweet but it is wonderfully seasoned. Don't get me started on the cheese and pepperoni. It's so good. We also enjoy the antipasto salad as a side to the pie. If you are looking for a great pizza place, don't take our word-check it out.
