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.

Being that it was a weeknight it wasn't too crowded and the ambiance was nice and quiet, tables were clean and presentable, we were a set up short but the staff were quick to get the place setting to us. Drinks were great too no complaints there either. This place is certainly a great option if you are looking for something not too touristy and want to have a nice night out in Morehead City I would definitely suggest giving this place a try.

It is true that you can't see the menu while in line, but you can go inside and look. Which is not a big deal because while in there, grab a beer from their beer cooler, put one of the koozies on it to keep it cool, and go back and stand in line. You'll pay for it when you order. They also have a server who asks for drink orders from the line (it's much quicker to grab a beer than wait for a mixed drink). We ended up sitting at the bar because two spots opened up. Their mixed drink options are impressive and they are delicious!!! The food is simple while being tasty, filling, and affordable. Onion rings were fried perfectly and not greasy. It is honestly worth the wait. You're on vacation!

They were so pleasant and welcoming. We entered the restaurant and took a seat at the end of the bar. The bartenders were dressed to impress. They didn't have uniforms, but instead nice pants, a pressed collared shirt and a fitted vest. The way that they presented themselves before even speaking said to me that we are going to take care of you and you are going to enjoy a wonderful evening. We love to start with bar bites or small plates to sample the menu. This allowed us to try the crabcake, calamari and the scallops & bacon. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We shared a bottle of red wine and split the asparagus and steak cooked medium-rare. The steak was cooked to perfection! There is a standard fee of $3.00 to split a meal. I love, love that the bartender waived the fee and allowed us to share a meal. Because we start each meal with small plates a dinner each just isn't possible. This evening out was worth each dollar spent. We will definitely come back each time that we visit the coast.
