We waited a little bit for a table at 5:30pm, but it was worth it! The kids played in the sand and we had a lovely drink. Jake was our server and he was awesome! He made great menu suggestions and had funny banter with our kids. We had great service, great food, and a great time. read more

We were a party of three. My son and I split the tuna appetizer. It was okay. He ordered the Mahi Mahi sandwich and reported that it was good. My youngest, 8, and I split the seafood boil. The shrimp was overcooked, the crab cluster (one) was slightly overcooked, the clams were fine, and there really wasn't much old Bay seasoning to be seen nor tasted. It was a very busy Friday night and I think that they were overwhelmed. Would I eat there again? No. read more

We had been trying to come here for over a year but the other one was frequently closed when we were in the area. We we drove past this location we pulled in to give it a try and see if it lived up to the hype. But for the most part we were disapointed. I often say this about touristy businesses, sometimes they start out great, locals become fans and and they build a reputation. Then they get greedy, lazy, and stop improving. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Things wear out, the dining room gets old and worn down, the food becomes just ok, but the prices shoot ay up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think some places come to think their tourist customers will never be back so they can over charge and under serve. And they rely on that plus locals who come out of habit and go on for years that way. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Yes the trees outside are cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the food was just mediocre and I left feeling sick to my stomach. We like to take home leftovers but nothing was good enough to bother with. I'm a fan of red snapper and have had it prepared many ways and rarely been disappointed. With Snapperz in the name you'd think they'd get it right. But this was a complete fail. My expensive piece of fish was hard, over cooked and tasteless. I also ordered the clam chowder, the flavor was good enough and the clams seemed to be fresh. However it was thin and watery like they were trying to stretch their dollars. It was not creamy it was simply watery and warm, not even hot. Come on Snapperz, you must have been great once, I'm sure you can get back to that if you put in the effort and reignite your passion for seeing great food to people who want to love you. read more

Here is the bad: -They had to remake a drink because there was bugs in it. -They served us hush puppies with an already used butter. -(subjective) but coleslaw wasn't good. -Prices were high. It was steep. 4 people, one app, 4 meals, and 4 drinks plus a good tip was $200. Here is the good: -Seared tuna wow'd us. It was seasoned great and had awesome flavor. -hushpuppies were great and super fresh! -drinks were good. -Servers were responsive to fixing issues. -[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ultimately, we probably won't be back, because it's just not worth that steep of prices. read more

We were on vacation in Morehead City, NC this week. We had 2 meals with the folks at Snapperz and the food and service was over the top!! Katie was our server and she was absolutely awesome. We came to Snapperz very close to their closing time because we had waited at The Full Moon Oyster Bar Restaurant for a long time and never got seated .. the manager welcomed us in and told us not to worry about the time and the meal was great!! read more

Went to Snapperz specifically looking for seafood boil. It was delicious! They thoughtfully bring all the things to the table for you to enjoy the boil without having to ask: crab crackers, small fork, butter, cocktail sauce, wet wipe, and bucket for shells. The original seafood boil came with clams, cluster of crab legs, ear of corn, potatoes, shrimp, and sausage. Each steam pot is market price, which at the time of our visit was around $47. There was no wait when we went around 7pm on a Wednesday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is thoughtfully decorated and there is some outdoor seating as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Each steamp read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was really cool outside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and our waiter Jacob couldn't have been nicer. That being said, my favorite thing was the fries, which isn't great considering how much money we spent. Snapper was overcooked to the point where 2 of the 3 of us didn't want to finish. Calamari was decent but I didn't expect to have much better in the blue ridge mountains. We would never go back read more

Our experience was subpar at best. I live in the area and had never eaten here before because it looks like a tourist spot. We decided to give it a try and were definitely disappointed; the prices were outrageous for the low quality of the meal. Four adults, three meals, one appetizer, and four drinks came to $200 with tip. None of the meals reflected the price or quality we expected. One of our drinks had three fruit flies in it, so we requested a replacement. The wait staff was nice and accommodating, but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant itself seemed like it could use a good cleaning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have no problem paying for quality food, but this wasn't it. We won't be back. read more

Great service, came in with 8 on a Monday afternoon and was eating within 20 min. Owner was great and we will be back!

Had a party of six, food was fresh, hot and delicious! Great experience! Britney was our server and she was as a jewel!

Seafood dip & sunset drink, I like the toasted, seasoned pita bread, it's a nice touch! I got the snow crab, shrimp & clam steam pot with corn on the cob, red potatoes, with old bay seasoning. Very knowledgeable waitress. read more

Good was amazing, Service was great!! Tina was our waitress and was Outstanding!!! Will come back again!

We've eaten at the Snapperz in Emerald Isle, so we gave Snapperz a whirl in Morehead City since we are vacationing nearby. Great experience on a busy Mother's Day. Our server, Cameron was outstanding. She was even able to get my wife a margarita that wasn't on the drinks menu. I had the Bob Marley fish sandwich with those amazing Snapperz fries! Cooked to perfection. My wife got fish tacos and she gobbled them down quickly. My daughter also got some fish and it was enough to feed two. We all left full and happy. Again, thanks to our server, Cameron, and the whole staff. They even held the door open for us as we departed. Great dining experience. read more

Omg. This meal was all I wanted for a winter beach trip. Steaming crab pot!! Clam chowder! My crab pot was delicious, and perfect for one person- a little pricy for lunch- but I left full and happy. The clam chowder was legit!! I'm from New England, and this bowl passed the test!! That cornbread!! Friendly and welcoming- extra touch of opening the door as you leave and saying thank you!! I'm gonna bet the vibe at night is super fun and high energy. read more

Excessive over dependence on old bay seasonings. Old bay is fine in moderation but it was used in excess on the homemade chips which otherwise would have been wonderful. The hush puppies were ok. The service was good and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the decor was very seaside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great food, service, and fun place to eat! Daily drink specials are yummy! Love their Shrimp and grits.

We were spending a day in Morehead checking out the various holiday events. After a quick search we landed on Snapperz for lunch. We started with the fresh, raw oysters--incredible. Then we got the bang bang shrimp wrap (lunch special) and the shrimp burger. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the sides (fries, homemade potato chips) were delicious as well. The staff were great--they opened the door to welcome us and opened the door when we left. Everyone was so nice! Our server was sure to note our dietary restrictions, and the manager checked on how we were enjoying the meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is a quirky coastal vibe and was decorated for the holidays.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff kept everything clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms are gendered with a couple of stalls each.

Always a great go to spot when in Morehead City. I typically get the fish tacos with blackened fish and all of the sauces. This time we ordered three different desserts and asked for a knife or if the could just cut the pieces in three pieces. They went above and beyond and slivered the pieces in thirds and put one of each on a plate. All three were amazing. That peanut butter chocolate pie is to die for along with the Key Lime Pie. The second time we went back just to celebrate a birthday because birthday boy's favorite is their Key Lime Pie and they were out. GASP! Such a disappointment but it happens. Just shows how good it is! You have to try any of the locations out. Pretty tas read more

Highly recommend this place! Fresh, well seasoned and cooked, and wonderful staff. We went for lunch on a whim! read more

Snapperz is an outstanding restaurant to enjoy a delicious, full culinary experience!!! Service is very attentive without being overbearing-the owner was even involved with the customers , oysters were fresh, large and yummy, and the shrimp and grits was a mouth watering experience.

This is the only place that warranted two visits on our vacation due to the combination of reasonable prices, cute ambiance, good service and variety and quality of food. It hit all the marks that it was where I chose to go for dinner on my birthday. I am from Alaska, and they have snow crab cheaper than in Alaska. No comprendo, but woo! The second time I ordered it, it wasn't fully cooked and I sent it back without any fuss from the server. Very cool. As a tree hugger, the thing I loved the most about this place is how it is built AROUND beautiful oak trees that have been there forever. This place is really cool. The only reason i took a star is sending out frozen food should never happen- that's a safety issue- the kitchen staff should be using a thermometer to validate food is safe to serve. But the prior time we were there everything was perfect. I think it was just a mistake. read more

Best shrimp & grits I've ever had. It is loaded with heavy cream and possibly butter, so you may need to rush home afterwards depending on how you digest things. (That's a serious note for those w/ dairy / fat sensitivities) The shrimp & grits is so good I've never tried anything else. If this were my restaurant I think I'd just serve shrimp & grits and scrap the whole menu. lol This is the original. There's a 2nd Snappers in Emerald Isle. The Shrimp & Grits are much different there. I forget the relationship between these two restaurants but I believe they're owned by people of the same family. You get a big portion, so either go hungry or be prepared to take some home with you. They have a neat salad bar, drinks & other menu items - I just don't know what they are. read more

Quick service, friendly waitress. Fresh brewed unsweetened iced tea was delish. Seafood dip, a bit salty. Supposedly lobster, crab, shrimp. Mostly fake crab and small pieces of shrimp. Topped with shredded parmesan, nice touch. Served with pita, toasted and also sprinkled with parmesan. Seafood bisque, too thick, not very hot. Fried green beans were tasty. Shrimp and grits very tasty. Ample shrimp and gravy served over grit cake. Surf and turf was 4 oz filet and grilled shrimp. Fried shrimp calabash style was delish. Kids meal with apple sauce side shrimp no tails. Shrimp in other dishes fried,, tails on, calabash (very light breading). Great place for lunch on way to ferry. read more

The wait time wasn't that bad. Seated immediately. Keep in mind k was there around 6pm. Our waitress was super nice. Very patient with me as I asked several questions about the menu. I ordered the house seafood dip and it was by far one of the best dips I've had. I cannot explain the level of flavor. The chips or pita they come with is great. Just wish there was more. I ordered the shrimp steamer and it was very good. I had to take most of it back with me as I was full. I had no complaints about this spot. Clearly a Well run establishment. I'll be back for sure. The crowd was a low bustling noise. read more
