    We had a fantastic evening at Chef Cam's wine dinner featuring selections from Jon Besch & Tim Becker of Tryon Distributing. From the fantastic course pacing, impeccable table service by the entire FOH team, to the perfect wine pairings - the entire experience was simply over the top. Well done, everyone!

    A nearly full dining room at 7 pm; a constantly churning ticket printer; a calm staff across front and back. These are the aspects of a restaurant that knows that they're doing. Full Circle cafe is that and more. Their menu of both beverages and food is varied and thoughtful, while their pizzas are unique and deliciously prepared. The assortment of local and locally inspired art on the walls reinforces the proximity to the beach, while the bars playful figurines let you know it's okay to smile and an otherwise serious dining institution. I can't speak highly enough of the kitchen; I've never heard a ticket read with such levity or calm demeanor - everyone BOH knows what they're doing and it reflects in the exquisitely prepared food. The drinks aren't shabby either - the assortment is fantastic and Chelsea was slinging drinks like she was born doing it. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Pictures speak for themselves (except the picture I didn't get of the romaine-based Caesar - a great sample of the staple)

    The food was amazing. We loved our meals and the options that were at this restaurant. The ambiance was so nice - we brought our 2 year old with us and it was perfect for a nice family night out on vacation. Our server was so kind and helpful with menu recommendations and possible changes. LOVED the chocolate torte cake and raspberry sorbet! Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back on our next vacation.

    Went here for a girls dinner and were blown away with how great the food was. We got the Arancini as an appetizer it was sooo good we had to order another one. I got the duck and my sister got the special grouper and we couldn't pick a favorite we loved them both so much. The vibes were immaculate. Our server Janie was so sweet and attentive. We 10000% will be back when we're in town.

    Lasagna the size of your head.

    I'd like to kick myself for how long it took me to follow my friends recommendation and come here. For some reason it just didn't impress me from the outside. As soon as you're seated the atmosphere perfectly backs up a menu that spans all the way from pizza to nightly specials that will rock your food world. We were in town for two nights and ate there the first night-steak with beautifully whipped potato's and lobster ravioli topped with a huge piece of salmon. Fish and steak cooked exactly as we asked. The next night we sat down in a different restaurant, ordered our drinks and after looking at the menu, we literally walked right back to Full Circle for round two- mammoth lasagna, a scratch made gourmet pizza and fried oysters that can only be described as the definition of perfection. This review is coming from someone with this opinion about food "I don't like food. I love it. If I don't love it, I don't swallow". Seriously... you will not be di

    There are few restaurants in Morehead that have the level of quaint and cozy ambiance *and* delicious food that Full Circle has. It's one of our favorite restaurants in the area, and the competition has heated up in recent years. They serve a great mix of approachable yet upscale dishes. American, some Thai mixed in (dumplings, pho, pad thai), and killer wood fired pizzas. My wife and I tried the beet version of their caprese salad, which had a beautiful presentation. It was almost like a layer cake but with beets and mozzarella, surrounded by arugula, mandarin oranges, etc. We also had the dumplings, which were solid, and a cup of the vidalia onion soup. The star of the show was the pizza, though. Since we were at the bar, we got to see the wood fired oven, and the pizza came to us piping hot. Ordering a pizza without marinara can be risky, but the duxelle base on the mushroom pizza was absolutely fantastic. Since that pizza doesn't have meat by default, we added bacon, and it was so dang good. This is probably the best date night spot in the area. Cozy interior, friendly staff, cool decor. Can't wait to come back.

    Yo, the internet homies steered me wrong! Shame on y'all!…read more I got the shrimp burger with smoked gouda mac and cheese. The shrimp were criminally overcooked, and the mac needed salt in the worst way. They didn't salt the pasta water (or salt it enough), and the mac was really sad, as a result. My friend got the soup of the day combo, which were were told was a "white bean and basil soup", but I'll be danged if it didn't come out with the most garbanzo-y looking white beans I've ever seen in my life. She said it tasted like they dumped rotel, chickpeas, and pesto into a pot and called it soup, and not in a good way. My wife got the smoked wings. She said the flavor was good, but they were brought out lukewarm and very lightly sauced (she's an extra saucy kind of lady). We got two cocktails, a cherry limeade slushie and a Kill Devil Hills Pain Killer. We were told the cherry limeade was made with just cherry mixer, lime, and vodka, but it definitely tasted like it had coconut in it, and my wife hates coconut. The Pain Killer I got was acceptable, but we ordered it with our food, and it didn't come out until I'd almost finished my dinner. The vibes in the place were meh, but fine (especially if the food/drinks were good), but the tables were extremely sticky across their entire surface, so either someone sucks at cleaning, or the finish on the tables was failing and needed to be sanded down/refinished. We did get a side of sweet potato fries that were pretty dope, but they didn't make up for the disappointment of everything else. 1 out of 5 stars; do not recommend.

We were down there on overcast chilly Sunday about 11 AM and there wasn't much going on, when we entered and went upstairs, it was quiet and that's what I was thinking the place was going to be dead, but as soon as we opened the door upstairs, you could tell it was a fairly busy place that has some good music and a fun ambience that seemed to attract a variety of people types and ages. It was a little different than I expected since it turned out to be more of a pizza place than a bar, but I had a great time and the food we had was very well prepared, flavorful, filling, and I was blown away by all the different types of breakfast pizza options they had as well as some sandwiches and some quality sides. The staff was very pleasant and super efficient and on a warm day in the summer they would have all of their windows open so you could get a natural breeze and airflow, and I'm sure it would be quite the fun time. Once we were finished, we went downstairs to the lower section and while there was nobody in there and it was dead, you could tell this was the party place during the summer or evenings and weekends, so I will give it another shot when I'm in town next time.

    I visited Southern Salt after a local friend insisted I give it a try. Sometimes local…read morerecommendations are hit or miss. This one was definitely a hit. To my surprise, there was no wait and plenty of available seating. The restaurant is much larger than it appears from the outside, with a spacious dining area and a beautiful covered outdoor section overlooking the water. Watching boats cruise in while eating fresh seafood is a pretty tough way to have a bad meal. Atmosphere - 5/5 Southern Salt absolutely nails the casual coastal vibe. This isn't a place where anyone is judging your wardrobe choices. Think shorts, a polo, and a healthy appetite. The waterfront views and incoming boats create the perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal. Cleanliness - 4/5 The only minor issue was that our outdoor table was still slightly wet from an earlier rain despite being under cover. Not a big deal, and I almost feel guilty mentioning it. The restrooms, however, could use a little TLC. They're overdue for a remodel and a deeper cleaning. Nothing alarming, but enough to notice. (Urinal looked like it has been out of order for years.) Parking 5/5 Parking is free for patrons, which is always appreciated. The lot across the street was partially full when we arrived, so I could see it becoming a bit of a scavenger hunt during peak hours. On a Monday, though, it wasn't an issue. Service - 5/5 Our waitress, Isabel, was exactly what you hope for when dining out: friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant. She kept our drinks topped off without us having to ask and even brought a refill of the hush puppies. Any server who delivers additional hush puppies is operating at an elite level in my book. Food Quality - 4/5 The seafood was excellent. The flounder tasted fresh, the shrimp was grilled perfectly and seasoned well, and both were exactly what you'd hope for from a waterfront seafood restaurant. The hush puppies deserve their own paragraph. They were phenomenal. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dangerously easy to keep eating. If they sold them by the bucket, I'd have questions for myself later. The cocktail sauce and tartar sauce were also noticeably better than average. My one small complaint was the fries. They weren't quite fresh-from-the-fryer hot. A touch more salt wouldn't have hurt either. Still perfectly edible, just not operating on the same level as the seafood. Value - 3/5 Our total for two meals (with waters) came to $65.06+ tip paying cash. Given the quality of the food, portion sizes, service, and atmosphere, I thought the price was reasonable. It's certainly not cheap, but compared to nearby seafood options, it feels like a solid value. One useful tip: Southern Salt charges extra for credit card payments, so bring cash if you'd rather keep a few extra dollars in your pocket. Final Thoughts Southern Salt delivers exactly what most people are looking for in a waterfront seafood restaurant: great views, friendly service, fresh seafood, and a laid-back atmosphere where nobody is trying too hard. Aside from fries that didn't quite reach their full potential, this was an excellent experience from start to finish. Overall Score: 5/5 I'd gladly return for the seafood, the waterfront views, and, most importantly, the hush puppies that somehow managed to become the star of the meal.

    The food and service were okay. The menu is not extensive and it took awhile for the entrees to…read morearrive. The complementary hush puppies as an appetizer were fresh and flavorful.
