Amazing breakfast and lunch! The meat lovers omelet was perfect for breakfast and the Mahi sandwich for lunch was outstanding! The winner through it all was the fried okra. You won't find any better! Our server April was the best!!! read more

Greasy food. service wasn't the best. I know about being a waitress. If your restaurant isn't busy and you can't refill my tea especially when you are no where to be found that is not good service. If you are not a local you may not get the best service at this place. There are plenty of restaurants in Morehead to eat. Greasy food and scallops were just okay. Hush puppies were very greasy. read more

We decided to try because of a recommendation from a good friend. Small place, but easy to find. I like small oysters and when I asked the server said they were medium to large, so I decided to get the crab cake. Homemade crab, very little filling, just enough spice, very good. Scallops, lightly battered, fried to perfection. Onion rings, crispy. Lightly battered medium size shrimp and flakey flounder, crispy french fries. The seafood tasted fresh. Seated very quickly, very friendly staff and servers. Attentive to our drinks, never ran dry. We will return. read more

The Captain's Table - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Morehead City, North Carolina

I hope you don't miss eating at The Captain's Table when visiting the Morehead City area. It is a small, locally owned, family friendly restaurant. Wanna know why? The food is deliciousness from breakfast to burger to seafood. I live here. I know good seafood. Puhleeze believe me!! You want to eat your seafood at The Captain's Table. The flounder I had this week was lightly breaded and fried so delicately that the breading crackled when I bit into it. I rarely eat seafood at other places. Fried okra? Almost as good as my granny's fried okra. Collards? Don't get me started!! Yummy! The service is southern style. Friendly excellence! As a matter of fact, friendly excellence describes everything about this place. The owners are on site and mixing it up with employees and patrons alike. Parking?

Breakfast served all day! Disclaimer: I am not getting paid for this review! Dang it! read more

I can see why locals eat here. Great fried seafood plates. Seafood was cooked well, fresh, filled us up and was affordable.

We were finishing up the last leg of a 10-day vacation by spending a few days in Atlantic Beach. We'd eaten in a lot of restaurants. We'd had both good and bad food. We'd spent a lot of money. Yelp reviews led us to the Captain's Table. The servers were sweet, outgoing, and friendly. The prices were reasonable. And we were starved. My family basically ordered an assortment of fried foods. And here's the truth: you could bread and deep fry the grass in my yard, and we'd probably give it a try. Our orders included: a fried chicken sandwich, fried oysters, fried catfish, fried trout, fried flounder, fried clams, french fries, fried pickles, and fried okra. Big Daddy did branch out of the fryer and had some seared scallops on his plate. A basket of hush puppies also came with our meal. Everything came out hot and crisp. My catfish was wonderfully fishy, just as catfish should be. And Kid #1's flounder was mild, just as flounder should be. The hush puppies were yummy though not quite as delicious as the restaurant next door. The fish sandwich was enormous. Overall, the portions were large but not excessive. I would have liked a couple of more fried clams, but that's probably because I was feeling greedy. I didn't love the mashed potatoes & gravy, which was typical diner style, but I am pretty picky about my taters. Our meals included free pudding, but we ordered some specialty desserts instead. They were also very good. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Captain's Table. We even considered going back the next day, but then Yelp led us elsewhere. read more

Food: 5 Customer Service: 5 Ambience: 4 Location: 5 Parking: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Reservations: Not required This restaurant is situated in Morehead, NC and was a very pleasant dinner choice just a few weeks ago. It was very easy to navigate to with the use of a Google maps. This restaurant has a small private parking lot, and we decided to call in an take out order. The staff was very friendly and helpful during my ordering process. Everything we ate was served hot and was well seasoned. My spouse and I truly enjoyed everything we ordered. I probably will return for another visit and tried them again the next time I'm in town. I would highly recommend it to friends and family members as well. read more

We went to Morehead City for the first time so we could check it out a little. As we were exploring the city, we got hungry, so we looked for a place to eat. Since it was only about 3pm, we noticed that a lot of the restaurants didn't open until 4 or 5 pm. Fortunately, The Captain's Table was open , so we stopped in for dinner. It's a small and cozy restaurant and the staff were friendly and helpful. So, after getting the free hush puppies, my wife Kathey chose the seafood combo of crab cakes and fried shrimp with a baked potato and some fried okra. My pick was the seafood combo of fried shrimp and scallops with mac & cheese along with some green beans. The food was great! It came out hot and was very flavorful. The servings were quite plentiful too. So glad we stopped in to try it out. read more

The food and staff are great! Highly recommend as a local favorite restaurant. Reasonable prices and all around just good food!

I would say the service was fine. Not fast but we were not in a hurry. We went for breakfast and were able to sit right a way. I had the western inlet with a side of sausage patties (2). Omelet was ok the cheese was Velveeta or Whiz which I thought was strange. Home fry's were very salty. Toast was soggy and cold. Nothing memorable. Partner had French toast and a side of sausage. Her's was fine. She thought the sausage had been sitting in grease for a while. Food was all in all just ok. There are better choices in Morehead City. read more

While the service was good! We were confused by the menu on the web. It is definitely a diner of fried foods, which I think the locals love and enjoy! On the other hand I ordered shrimp and grits and I did not understand the dish at all - there were to many ingredients in the bowl to my liking, and very salty! It could have been because of the sausage that was in the dish and also added too much salt! I ordered shrimp and grits because I do not enjoy fried fish. I don't think we will be coming back! The waitress was very nice and helpful! read more

The Captain's Table - Shrimp burger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Morehead City, North Carolina

I absolutely love finding places like this when traveling. Definitely a locals haunt and now I know why. Great good, LOTS of it, unbeatable prices, and terrific service. I had the clam strips which were breaded just enough and fried perfectly - not overcooked at all, so excellent texture. Plenty of awesome sides to choose from, but it was my birthday so I double-starched lol I was stuffed full after eating half the meal! You definitely get your money's worth. Best seafood prices around. May have to come back and try their breakfast! read more

This place was SO GOOD!! Recommended by our Airbnb host, she said that all the locals eat here and they really do. The service was fast and friendly. I would definitely visit again. My husband and I shared a $20 plate with four choices of fish and two sides. We ate for around $28. We are considering coming back for breakfast! read more

This was a super fun spot to stop at following a long day at the beach. It was pretty busy inside, but the staff was very friendly and helpful. We ordered to go. I got the Western omelet with a side of grits. Portions were fair and the taste was good. Nothing too fancy, but that seemed to be the point. Definitely enjoyed and would consider coming back the next time we're in the area. Seems to be a popular spot amongst the locals! read more

The Captain's Table - Western Omelet with a side of Grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Morehead City, North Carolina

I had the crab cake sandwich with coleslaw and fries. The sandwich didn't come with any toppings and was oddly sweet, perhaps due to the brioche bun, and the crab cake was flat and oily. The bun was nice and warm, but the sweetness threw me off. The tartar sauce that I requested was brought in a squeeze bottle, but it wouldn't come out. Either the tip of the bottle was too small or it hadn't been used in too long. Someone at another table noticed this and kindly offered their bottle of tarter sauce, which worked fine. The hush puppies that came before the meal were also sweet and oddly shaped. The faucet in the very pink bathroom looked quite neglected... I noticed while paying at the front counter that the staff in the kitchen weren't wearing hair-coverings and some had large grease stains on their clothing. This is understandable, of course, but perhaps wearing an apron one can easily swap out would help with this. read more

This place is uhh.. okay. I got the crab cake sandwich with fries which was decent. They served me a tomato that had the hard green part still on it.. that's just carelessness from whoever is doing food prep. The crab cake sandwich was also a "special" and came with fries for about $8... why was I charged for fries separately? Get it together smh. My sisters both got sides of mac n cheese... i'm not even kidding when I say it was WATERY! Y'all have some nerve to be serving that shit. When I told the server the mac n cheese was inedible, she made no comment lmao just looked like a deer in the headlights! OH I almost forgot to add that not a single worker had on a mask. The woman serving me actually stood beside me and coughed...... she was very lucky I had an example to set that day. But anyway, I need the whole kitchen staff to go taste that mac n cheese.. SHITTY. read more

Shrimp was good. But the place was very dirty. The carpets were disgusting, dirty, and riddled with food. And unless you want to lose your appetite, don't use the bathroom. Beyond gross. We sat near the kitchen and had an unappetizing view of the sink and trash. The dirty rags and food littering the floor was unpleasant too. The sanitation score of 93.0 was low enough, and I'm not sure how they even achieved that. To top it all off, my son threw up all of his food that night, all night. Won't be visiting this place again. read more

I love the menu, the homey ambience and I haven't even tasted the food, yet. Bridget, our waitress, is a bouncing blend of spunk and good cheer. Great service means more to me than the food. My chowder is here, and it's wonderful. I will be eating all you can eat scallops, tonight, and this place smells TERRIFIC. I recommend. read more

Tell you what, this Oklahoma boy got a full dose of North Carolina hospitality here. To be honest, I'm not sure who our server was because it seemed like everyone came by to see if we needed anything. The hushpuppies were delicious and the Catfish nuggets tasted like he was swimming less than an hour ago. No gimmicks, just sweet tea and great food. ENJOY YOUR DINNER HERE. read more
