First time customer. Called in at 2 for a 5:30 pick up. Hubby was caught in traffic and 30 mins late. (Our fault we take ownership). They said they had to remake our food. Gave us THE COMPLETE wrong order. Everything was seafood, which I medically can not eat. We were also on a strict timeline tonight due to leaving tomorrow to get me to a specialist. We We told by a very sweet boy, thT the manager said it didn't matter if we couldn't make it bake there, no credit would be issued without returning the other plates..knowing we were first time customers. We had to do a quick reshuffle of our plans, but made it back. My FIL, the reason we even got plates anyway (part of his Father's day), had to eat alone. I have spent a lot of my life in restaurants, if you can't give credit..most of the time you can ..then a manager usually personally apologizes. This one never stepped to the front, answered my call, nor called me. The sweet kid that took the order was so embarrassed and apologized so many times. His MANAGER should have done that. Also, NO we weren't ugly, Hubby even talked the sweet kid down when he was upset. When you have a first time customer and a mess up, as a Manager YOU step up. An I'm sorry goes a long way. As for the food, once we got it, it was great. I mean not the fries though, they were soggy, who likes soggy fries?​ read more

We stopped in for a quick bite while on a weekend trip and had such a pleasant experience. Food and drinks came out super fast & our server was not shy about making craft beer recommendations. The Hawaiian burger - though made more medium well than "medium" - was juicy. Shrimp burger was flavorful all around with perfect seasoning blend! The fries were a strange shape and deliciously crispy. The space inside is expansive - more expansive than it appears since the facade makes the place look like it's a smaller venue. The décor is well done with a perfect mix of rustic charm and comfort. From the bear statues to the wall hangings, there is so much attention to detail everywhere. Though we didn't bring a fur baby. The back of the menu makes it clear pups - and horses - are welcome! read more

Morgan's is typically closed on Mondays, but a few weeks ago they decided to remain open for the convention. Morgan's had some issues, but was for the most part a fair experience. Our server was nice to us when she was directly interacting with us, but you could tell she didn't want to serve us once she walked away. I saw her do this to multiple tables, which is not good customer service. I can see why because she normally gets the Monday off and today she had to work, but that is no excuse to have an attitude towards your customers. We started off with the crab dip; which was cheesy, lightly crabby, and hot. They bring it out with pita bread. No disappointment there! We ordered our ribeye's medium, because apparently their medium is like a medium rare. When they came out they were well done (as you can by how they cook their steaks), or medium well. Our server knew that they were overcooked, and told us to cut into our steaks to see how they were. We ensured her that it was fine because we were hungry, but sure did wish that they got it right the first time. Their Mac and cheese is VERY sharp (strong cheese flavor), but fries are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Due to the inconvenience, the manager offered us free dessert. Even though we were very full, we said sure because who can decline something that is free?? Most of their dessert was not made in house but they did have two that were, which was the bread pudding and a chocolate dessert. I had the chocolate dessert, while my grandmother had the bread pudding. Both are good. They give you a lot! Morgan's gets three stars because of the customer service and the overcooked steak. I am sure our experience would have been better if we didn't go on a Monday. But, they should still be "on it" every day of the week despite if they are normally closed. Because of this, 3/5 for Morgan's. read more

This is the second time I've tried Morgan's but it's probably been 10 years. I would definitely say that it has maintained its excellence and charm! The decor is always so fun, with the adorable bear in the middle of the restaurant. Our server was very attentive and we didn't go without, EVER. The honey covered croissant was not quite as fresh is the last time we were here, maybe the prior day's baked good? Not sure but it was still tasty. The crab dip was so cheesy and packed full of chunks of fresh crab, it was so delicious that I just wanted to keep eating! Instead I saved room for my Bacon and Bleu burger with Mac and cheese. The burger was juicy and cooked perfectly with a generous amount of blue cheese and thick bacon. The menu says they use ground steak to make the burger and I can definitely see it as it was high quality meat. The Mac and cheese was filled with so much ooey gooey cheese sauce and corkscrew noodles, OMG was it GOOD!! Seasoned perfectly, and the leftovers that came home with me tasted just as good that evening as a snack. I can't wait to go back to try something else! read more

This is one of the best dog friendly restaurants we have ever been to. The service is OUTSTANDING!!! The food is amazing too. They even have a doggie menu. The outdoor seating is very pleasant and the atmosphere is perfect for a laid back lunch or dinner. This is absolutely our go to whenever we are in town!!! read more

What a pleasant surprise to hear Morgan's was open on a Monday for the convention in town. Even nicer was the setup they had outside with free snacks and water. We ate outside for tonight. The weather was perfect. Food was delicious! Our server was fantastic. What seemed odd to us though, is when the bartender brought my wife's glass of wine, he reached over the table to hand her the glass instead of walking around the table to her side. Same thing happened when the runner brought my wife's meal. Hello bartenders and servers. Learn some basic etiquette and customer service skills on "how to serve". Otherwise, besides that weird anomaly, food was great. read more

Great service and atmosphere, but would definitely not recommend for my fellow vegans or vegetarians. Went here for a birthday party and all my boyfriend and I could order was the fries side and salad with basically no toppings. Probably best to just find somewhere else if you're plant based. Still a good place, just not for me read more

Really unique place with indoor and outdoor seating. Had the bisque for appetizer- very tasty. They serve croissants with honey drizzle for bread. Had to try the meat loaf since its limited availability- really good with a great sauce and mashed potatoes. Service was exceptional read more

Morgan's was our first stop when we arrived in New Bern from Charlotte super hungry after our 4 hour drive. The menu consists of a lot of delicious seafood options. We started with their crab dip served with pita points and homemade chips. It was delicious! I went with the shrimp tacos and twisty fries. Both were fantastic! The tacos did have a lot of pico on them for my preference, but it wasn't something that impacted my ability to enjoy my lunch. The complimentary honey croissants were so good! Would definitely recommend for the ambience and service too. A fantastic experience all around. read more

Wonderful service! We stopped in on a weeknight and saw several people waiting. But the hostess told us the high tops were first come, first serve, so we were able to sit down right away. The ambiance is very historical and fun- they even have one of the New Bern bears inside! The croissants were delicious, as we'd read from other reviewers! The side salads were very generously sized! It was also nice that the server could bring us oil and vinegar to dress the salads, when someone in our party didn't want one of their premade dressings. I got the portobello mushroom burger, which was decedent and delicious with pimento cheese on it. A very delicious meal! read more

The perfect date night. We loved the decor and the quirky menu. The food was delicious. Would highly recommend.

The beast pork chop with peaches I've ever had. Plus a great martini! Service was perfect as well. Maybe a little noisy but still a very interesting restaurant. I would love to return whenever I'm in New Bern again! read more

Where to start! There's delicious, fresh food; a large, covered, pet-friendly patio; a dog menu; a beautiful, historic interior; friendly staff; quick service; and excellent desserts. You can't and won't go wrong by coming here! I love that they have a whole menu dedicated to just salads! You can even build your own. Yum yum!! read more

We came in for a late lunch, the place was packed on Wednesday afternoon. Ate upstairs for the first time...those stairs are steep! Atmosphere is really nice with views of New Bern and lots of sunlight. Sin dip appetizer was nice with pita bread. Service was very nice and attentive. We got burgers and fish tacos, the Cuban, chicken tenders. All really well made. Drinks stayed full. read more

Great food nice interior not too noisy good wait staff would recommend for families. Is pricey however

I go to Morgan's at least once a month and find consistently above average service, friendly and accommodating hosts, food that is reasonably priced, above average taste and oversized portions. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Alright, well now we know that waiting 2.5 hours is def worth it! Hahaha. We expecting maybe an hour wait, when we asked the hostess at about 6pm on Saturday evening. But it was worth it!! For sure coming back (with reservations) when we come visit New Bern again!! read more

The restaurant was beautiful, decorated wonderfully for Christmas. We were sat promptly. Waitress was very informative about the menu. Unfortunately we were sat right beside the bar where all of the servers would stand and wait around so it was a little awkward to eat with them all there. I ate half of my burger which was okay until I noticed a big black hair underneath the other half of the burger. I brought this to the waitress attention and she promptly took it and offered to replace it. As it turns out when my spouse picked up his blt there was ANOTHER black hair underneath his. We both have brown hair so at this point it was kind of ridiculous that it happened to us both. Didn't try the Mac and cheese but we did try the beer cheese dip and that was pretty good with the pita bread. So as always just double check your plates! Hopefully the chef now has a hairnet on! read more

We've been to Morgans numerous times over the years. The food is always consistent and the menu has many good options. Prices are in line with others in the area. The service has always been excellent and one of the best things is that all the servers help each other bringing the food and clearing the table. We have always enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant but if you want a special occasion type of ambience this is probably not the place. Lastly, it's has been the same ownership as long as I can remember. read more

The place is pretty cool and a lot bigger than you think! We had Jacob, not sure if he was newer, but the kid did pretty good. The food was pretty good! I had the half club and lobster/crab bisque (if I could have that every day, I would!) my dad had the yellowtail tacos and he said I was delicious and complimented well with the coleslaw, my mom had the burger with the pineapple on it, she said it was way better than Red Robin's burger with the pineapple on it, all of the deserts were delicious! We had the banana pudding, the lemon raspberry stack and the carrot cake. Great place to go, casual, beat the heat and tons of options! read more

Stopped in for lunch today (a busy Saturday)and surprised them with a party of sixteen. They quickly accommodated us and got us seated. I'm a salad person and had their Mediterranean Salad of mixed greens, grilled pineapple and mandarin topped with grilled shrimp. This was by far the best salad I ever had. Maria, our server was most accommodating with the group and quickly got us served. What a great place. read more

Started our meal with the portobello chips which a refreshing take on an appetizer. Perfectly seasoned tempura batter then lightly fried. Served as a crispy chip with jalapeño ranch dressing. If you're not into spicy food, then their ranch is a perfect alternative. Their jalapeño cream cheese burger is a nice follow up. The cream cheese turns into melty gooeyness with just a hint of jalapeño and sweet BBQ sauce truly elevates the burger. Sweet potato fries with their cinnamon dip truly completes the meal. Whenever they serve their pot roast, get it! It will instantly transport you back to your childhood and the pot roast Momma used to make! Just don't tell her it's that good! You can always count on the attentiveness and professionalism of their staff. You can really tell the love their job and the management team. Morgan's is a win-win for everyone at your table. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great food my favs are the crab dip and mahi tacos, usually full though and they dont do reservations since last ive asked so beware

So disappointed in Morgan's today. As a New Bern resident I frequent Morgan's often. Our waitress was simply awful. She could have cared less about our meal and service wasn't a word in her vocabulary. At one point I asked another waitress if she had quit! We were left at the table waiting and waiting and waiting some more for our food. I asked her was there a problem in the kitchen and all I got was attitude. I asked to see the manager and got the pat answer of " I'm sorry you feel that way "  I asked the manager why I wasn't given any coins with my change. I was told they round up the bill and rarely give change! This is the last time Morgan's will have any of my money. Small town stuff indeed. read more

Very popular place in downtown New Bern. We had to get on a wait list for lunch, which was about 30 minutes long. The process was painless. They text you when your table is ready. Quick Highlights - Very popular, expect a wait - Lots of items on the menu - Good selection of draft beer and wine - Indoor and outdoor seating - Dogs welcomed outside - Complimentary Croissants with honey - Food is good and the service is great Lunch menu consists of several burger and sandwich options, along with salads and other entrees (flounder and chips, shrimp and fries, meatloaf, and seafood tacos). I got the Spicy Bella burger. The burger was a solid choice. Very juicy and cooked to your requested temperature. I was expecting the Spicy Bella to be, well, spicy with the tiger sauce and jalapeños. It really wasn't spicy at all. The homage chips as a side were very good. The tavern can handle large groups. Outside seating is covered and heated. Overall it s great place to eat. Glad we discovered it on our trip. read more

My 7th visit and everything is great. 6 hours ribs, pork chop, chicken cordon bleu and my favorite salad entree, tropical chicken salad served in half of a sweet pineapple. Today I just came for a hot bowl of French onion soup, so amazing right down to the broth. Wait there Is more, pet friendly on a heated patio. Everyone is friendly and the honey croissants are a great blend of sweet and savory. read more

This was our first time at Morgan's and it won't be our last! The atmosphere is fantastic, with lots of alcoves and rooms without feeling small or tight. The food was delicious, we tried the Turkey, Bacon and Raspberry sandwich and Sweet Hawaiian BBQ Sandwich, both of which we'd recommend and order again. When you go, be sure to ask for Sarah A, her service was top notch! read more

I love this place. Great crab dip, atmosphere, and service. 10/10. Ballsack by the way. Just to fill up characters

Great dinner at Morgan's Tavern. Initially was told there was a 90-minute wait, but then asked about bar seating. Bar and high tops are first come, first serve and one had just opened right up for us. Server was phenomenal. Very attentive, large knowledge of the menu and specials. Dinner was delicious. Drunken haddock was very tasty, heavily battered which was to be expected given its beer battered. Mac and cheese was as good as advertised. Burger and fries were classic, but seasoned well. Highly recommend both dishes! read more

So we came here on the fly not knowing anywhere in town to eat I was so glad I went t with my gut (no pun intended) and chose Morgan's tavern & grill. I usually make my decisions on where to eat not only off of reviews but the pictures of the food!!! The pork chops and Mac and cheese is what sealed the deal for me so we tried that, we tried the salmon, the ribeye, and some cheese sticks and crab dip to start. I'm gonna be completely honest with you I don't have a single complaint not even one, right down to the croissants they give you before the food comes out. Absolutely AWESOME!!! Definitely would come back and try the haddock coming from New England I was shocked to see it on the menu and didn't until after we had ordered. GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICE GREAT ATMOSPHERE!!!! read more

Food was amazing! Portions are huge! Restroom and restaurant is clea! Staff is amazing! Shout out to Rose!

As me and my wife visit the cozy town of New Bern we find ourselves at a delightful restaurant. I got the turkey bacon raspberry sandwich and my wife got the Cajun chicken pasta. The sandwich was a wonderful mix of savory and sweet but I was eating off my wife plate more than my own! So if you come here I highly recommend the Cajun chicken pasta. The service was nice but a bit distant. For the atmosphere, it was great beautiful warm light mixed with natural sunlight and Christmas decor. Would recommend! read more

Morgan's Tavern & Grill is definitely the place to be on a Friday night. The place was hopping with over a 45 minute wait, but we got very lucky and snagged a private high top table in the bar. Our waitress was very friendly. Prior to our meal we were served complimentary croissants with honey. I didn't know that was a thing, but I'm here to tell you it is a good thing! We ordered the Tuna and Shrimp entree and The "Greek" salad for dinner. The Tuna and shrimp was served over a scrumptious combination of black beans, corn, feta with some seasoning and sauces. I could have eaten that alone as a meal sans the seafood. So Good! The salad was your average Greek Salad, but good. The restaurant is housed within a building dating back to 1912. I loved the interior and the way different dining areas were created. read more
