    We were told to check on the menus (whiteboard) that would be the specials of the day ! We were asked how many in the party! Told to sit where we pleased ! It took about 20 minutes before we received our silver wear and told the servicer would be with us shortly 20 minutes later poof a server appeared ! Took another 15 minutes before we got our drinks ! Then another 30 minutes before food was served! I had a salad my hubby had fish and chips ! Salad was alright he said his fish was good ! This was our second time there same experience the first time so we thought we give it another chance ! Living in oriental there is limited restaurants ! So choices are limited! Will we be back to M&M probably not ! Management need to be aware of the situation of the staff and possibly retraining is required to be aware of the staff lack of communication!

    There is a large selection of apps and specials. Haven't had anything on the menu that's bad. They have special apps and entrees that are not on the menu. We prefer to sit at the bar. The main seating area is not for us. Kinda bland. Karen is great at the bar. The wings, buffalo shrimp, steak and salads are all great

    a plate of quesadillas and salsa

    A good experience here has about the same lifespan as two scoops of ice cream on a hot summer day! They were one of the few dining options in town that was close enough to walk to and offered a menu of decent variety, unfortunately what appeared to be a great dining experience quickly went straight south as the dinner rush picked up and any organization went right out the window. We were fortunate enough to enjoy our entrees within a reasonable amount of time, entrees that were large enough to not warrant any need for sides, especially when you're thinking of pairing a side of potatoes to one of their quesadillas. The quesadilla's were just that, ordinary quesadilla's and a bit overly cooked. Unfortunately, it took well over 45 minutes to pay the check and collect the dessert to go. The servers are also bussing tables and working in the kitchen, while the hostess / server is the only person who can process a check. Unfortunately, the servers seem to forget to drop off the bills to the hostess while she is at the register. I wouldn't even call it controlled chaos, just chaos, and I would not return. Cheers!

    This is a sweet little restaurant in the village of Oriental, NC. The staff members are always friendly. I've tried much of the menu over the past 3 years, and my favorite go-to item is this fried scallop salad. It's a winner.

    Great local eatery with huge portions, I had the shrimp and grits, the shrimp were local and the grits excellent. David had the short ribs, he liked but didn't love them. The red velvet cake was out of this world. Great service and a nice clean eatery!

Didn't happen to us, but when we arrived, there was indeed a train sitting there, and some cars in front, well, they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. Inside is all vibes, kind of set up like an old pharmacy, but slinging cocktails instead, and I have to say, the cocktails were very tasty and well priced. All the tables were full of friend and family groups playing board games and enjoying various flatbreads and libations. Seems like the kind of place the local neighborhoods enjoy and spend quite a bit of time at. At the moment, can't remember the names of the cocktails we got, its been a few months. But I do remember the toasts. This place doesnt have a kitchen in a traditional sense, more like a prep area where they bring ingredients together (that I imagine are made off site) and toast it up to present you with some pretty unique combos and flavors. Honestly, a great way around some of the health code restrictions that start to apply to more in-depth operations while still having a robust menu. We ordered a variety for the 4 of us, as this was dinner that evening. Gettin Figgy with it was a favorite, as were the Pig and the Goat, and the Reuben. Their version of a Cubano was alright, but as could be the case you'd imagine, the pork was a little dry. The caprese was the only one we got that seemed to be a universal thumbs down, the avocado spread wasn't working with the other ingredients. Definitely would come back for some of these toasts, and drinks!

It has a large and interesting drink menu and enjoyed several cocktails while we were there! I tried the Spiced Whiskey Mule, which was decent--more of a lemon taste than I expected--but then tried the Minty Cherry Mojito which I really enjoyed. We were intrigued by all the fun toasts, so we ordered several to share. My favorites were: Gettin' Figgy With It (cute names, for sure); The Pig and the Goat; and the Reuban. We did not enjoy the Caprese toast. Something about the avocado spread did not jive with the other ingredients. This is a great space for a small group friends. It's been intentionally set up with sitting areas and a wall of games you can choose from. You may struggle to find a seat and it's a place where people will park and sit for a while. Wouldn't mind going back to try out more cocktails with fun toast the next time I'm in the area!

    Our party called ahead the day before visiting the restaurant for Wednesday reservations. We were…read moretold to arrive around 9am the next morning. After arriving a few minutes early we were told it would be "a bit" before they could seat us. "A bit" turned out to be more than an hour and even then they sat us at multiple tables throughout the restaurant. After being seated, we were promptly ignored. Fifteen more minutes went by before our sullen, unpleasant server took our drink orders and eventually our breakfast orders. She was not only extremely slow and inattentive, but blatantly disrespectful to one member of our party by rolling her eyes and making gestures when she thought we couldn't see her. Once our order was placed, we waited then waited more. We had decided to leave if our food had not arrived by 12pm and go to Bojangles in Vanceboro, but at 11:50, over three hours after arriving, our food finally showed up. My omelet was enormous and overflowing with ground sausage. It was OK, but would have been better with less sausage. My shredded hash browns were cold. The biscuit that accompanied the omelet was cold and hard. My dining companion liked her french toast, but noted her eggs, though properly prepared over medium, were cold. Same goes for her home fries. However, the buttery syrup, served with her french toast, was served warm and was absolutely amazing. Wow! It made my biscuit edible and was the best part of our meals. The restaurant is attached to a hardware store in a rural part of Craven County. It definitely has a country vibe and was spotless. Incredibly slow and disrespectful service combined with OK-at-best food make it difficult to recommend Voder's Dutch Pantry in any capacity to anyone.

The bartender was busy working and singing in between taking orders as she prepared drinks for customers. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and offered the specials before we placed our order. We love to sample the menu when we travel and the vast menu of tapas gave us the perfect opportunity to try just about everything. They had a smaller wine selection, but there was something for just about everyone. Our waiter was very attentive and offered suggestions on what to try if we were torn between several menu options. The Spanish lamb meatballs, truffle honey pork belly and rosemary beef were the tapas that stood out as the most flavorful and making us each want just one more bite. The Spanish meatballs were glazed with sriracha which caused me to pause before ordering. However, I'm so happy that we gave them a try. They had a bold flavor, but the whipped feta and cilantro were enough to balance the heat. The truffle honey pork belly was sliced differently. We have only had this cut into cubes at other restaurants in the past. The way that they slice the pork belly is so much better. The pork belly was served with cheese grits. We don't even like cheese grits, but could not get enough of these smoked Gouda grits. The rosemary beef with asparagus and mashed potatoes was perfect. The beef was tender, the asparagus cooked to perfection and who doesn't love mashed potatoes. We visit the crystal coast about twice a year and always try a couple of new places. We look forward to coming back to Circa 81 each time that we visit!

We ordered the Half Chef's Tour, which is their charcuterie, and it was honestly one of my favorite parts of the night. Great variety, really well balanced, and perfect for sharing. It set the tone for the whole meal. The scallop nightly special was perfectly cooked with that golden sear and super tender inside. The rosemary steak had so much flavor and was cooked exactly right. The Brussels were crispy and savory, and even the potstickers were a standout. Nothing felt like an afterthought. Service was perfect for the tapas setting too. Not rushed, we didn't feel over bothered, but not neglected either. Overall, it felt elevated but still comfortable. A great experience without feeling over the top. We'll definitely be back.
