    The chimichanga.
    Erik B.

    Been in Morehead City four nights and tonight we had the best meal of the trip at Tower 7. Our server, Grace, was friendly and welcoming. The bar service was a bit slow as there was only one bartender but the cocktails were on point. The painkiller was perfectly prepared and delicious. The house salsa was perfect and brought some heat and good flavor. All four people in the party cleaned their plates and there was no room for desert. If we lived here we'd be regulars. Give it a try.

    The waitress was great! The atmosphere was relaxed. We dined outside. The food was delicious!

    Looking for somewhere to enjoy the beautiful weather & have lunch in Morehead City & came across Tower 7. We were seated on nice outside patio w/umbrellas & were served chips & salsa. We ordered some guacamole which was quite good. We decided it was a taco day so we tried the Mahi tacos & Birria tacos, both served w/choice of rice or beans on the side. Service was fast, tacos were delicious. We would come back.

    The table behind us sat dirty the entire time we ate and was empty even before we arrive so was not bussed for at least 45 minutes, which is ridiculous seeing how we had a wait for table. Drinks did not arrive until after the food was already eaten, waitress did not have knowledge of menu. I left my phone and went back to get it a few minutes after leaving- our table and the one behind still not cleaned, plus another one where people had left sitting dirty. Really poor experience to want to eat lunch on the water but end up staring at half eaten food the entire time.

    Cantinarita!

    First off the Cantinarita is the best Margarita in Carteret County. That was a great sipper but be careful! You might want several. I had the Tacos In A Beach Towel,and my dining companions got a Fajita Burrito and an ACP. The Salsa and Queso were on point. They have done a great job at this location, right on the waterfront.

    The service and food was amazing, extremely fast service and seemed like a confident staff.

    You can't beat the waterfront outdoor dining location of Tower 7! A great place to enjoy a beautiful day and their excellent Mexican fare. The Tower 7 Burrito is a sizable sucker so either be hungry, plan to share, or get a box. The Pineapple Enchiladas were a big hit with our group as was the Taco Salad. Service is very friendly and prompt. Overall, I can't imagine a better place to enjoy the waterfront and a great Mexican meal.

    Dinner and an appetizer.

    We found these guys on the internet and were looking for a good place for dinner. Menu sounded great and wow, we were very pleased with our choice. Salsa was great. Chips were fresh and just the way we like the. The food was amazing. Maybe the best I have had since I left Texas and moved back to NC. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Morehead City, NC.

    My experience here was nothing short of exemplary. I will add that I got there only a little while after opening, around 11:15. But I left before noon with a full belly of incredible shrimp tacos and a margarita. They were fast, nice, and checked in me several times even as they got full. I will definitely be returning! (Photo is a bit blurry so my tacos kinda look mushy but I assure you they were perfect!)

    My lunch, exactly as I received the plate. They're kidding, right?
    Felice B.

    One star because the chips were warm and the app won't let me give zero or negative numbers. Every other one star review here? Believe every word of them. I did believe but to my regret I had no input in choosing the restaurant. The burrito seemed one of the less objectionable choices. It took 3 tries for the server to hear me say "pulled chicken." I might as well have said "soggy shredded cardboard" as that likely would have had more flavor. No seasoning whatsoever, not even salt. Same with the black beans - completely unseasoned in any form. According to the menu, this burrito should have included tomatoes and shredded cheese. It didn't. So what I got was the unappetizing mess you see below. I knew it was going to be bad when the server said the food would be out "very quickly." Sure. How long does it take to open a few cans, grab huge handfuls of pre-shredded lettuce, forget some of the ingredients, and fling them on an empty plate? I left most of it and nobody noticed or cared. In general, the service was stunningly indifferent. Also rather telling was the server's response when asked for a recommendation between 2 fish dishes. "I've never had them. We're not allowed to order those." Good job, management. The decor is identical to its previous incarnation as the Ruddy Duck. I'm thinking that was a good call on the owner's part. Less investment to lose when the place closes.

    I visited Southern Salt after a local friend insisted I give it a try. Sometimes local…read morerecommendations are hit or miss. This one was definitely a hit. To my surprise, there was no wait and plenty of available seating. The restaurant is much larger than it appears from the outside, with a spacious dining area and a beautiful covered outdoor section overlooking the water. Watching boats cruise in while eating fresh seafood is a pretty tough way to have a bad meal. Atmosphere - 5/5 Southern Salt absolutely nails the casual coastal vibe. This isn't a place where anyone is judging your wardrobe choices. Think shorts, a polo, and a healthy appetite. The waterfront views and incoming boats create the perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal. Cleanliness - 4/5 The only minor issue was that our outdoor table was still slightly wet from an earlier rain despite being under cover. Not a big deal, and I almost feel guilty mentioning it. The restrooms, however, could use a little TLC. They're overdue for a remodel and a deeper cleaning. Nothing alarming, but enough to notice. (Urinal looked like it has been out of order for years.) Parking 5/5 Parking is free for patrons, which is always appreciated. The lot across the street was partially full when we arrived, so I could see it becoming a bit of a scavenger hunt during peak hours. On a Monday, though, it wasn't an issue. Service - 5/5 Our waitress, Isabel, was exactly what you hope for when dining out: friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant. She kept our drinks topped off without us having to ask and even brought a refill of the hush puppies. Any server who delivers additional hush puppies is operating at an elite level in my book. Food Quality - 4/5 The seafood was excellent. The flounder tasted fresh, the shrimp was grilled perfectly and seasoned well, and both were exactly what you'd hope for from a waterfront seafood restaurant. The hush puppies deserve their own paragraph. They were phenomenal. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dangerously easy to keep eating. If they sold them by the bucket, I'd have questions for myself later. The cocktail sauce and tartar sauce were also noticeably better than average. My one small complaint was the fries. They weren't quite fresh-from-the-fryer hot. A touch more salt wouldn't have hurt either. Still perfectly edible, just not operating on the same level as the seafood. Value - 3/5 Our total for two meals (with waters) came to $65.06+ tip paying cash. Given the quality of the food, portion sizes, service, and atmosphere, I thought the price was reasonable. It's certainly not cheap, but compared to nearby seafood options, it feels like a solid value. One useful tip: Southern Salt charges extra for credit card payments, so bring cash if you'd rather keep a few extra dollars in your pocket. Final Thoughts Southern Salt delivers exactly what most people are looking for in a waterfront seafood restaurant: great views, friendly service, fresh seafood, and a laid-back atmosphere where nobody is trying too hard. Aside from fries that didn't quite reach their full potential, this was an excellent experience from start to finish. Overall Score: 5/5 I'd gladly return for the seafood, the waterfront views, and, most importantly, the hush puppies that somehow managed to become the star of the meal.

    The food and service were okay. The menu is not extensive and it took awhile for the entrees to…read morearrive. The complementary hush puppies as an appetizer were fresh and flavorful.

    In my many trips to the AB area, I've driven by the old Mosquito often but it's always, always,…read morealways packed no matter the time of year. New plan for this trip. Step one should be the same for everyone. Get there when they open at 4:45 because damn does this place get busy quick even on weekdays. When I rolled into the parking lot at 4:40, I had probably 15-20 already at the door. Step two, if you get there at open, consider bar seating. Clam Chowder - Scalloped Scallops - Key Lime Pie I'll just keep it at this. Is anything I ordered going to reinvent the culinary wheel? No, and one could argue that the only negative here is that most everything is on the pricey side. But with that said, everything was extremely consistent, everything was brought out perfectly timed, my cup never runnethed (sure, it's a word) empty and the bar staff are all excellent conversationalists. Also one big upside, the ambiance. The bar area is kept dark as it should be in any bar type situation and the music selection was mostly a fantastic mix of classic R&B and Blues. Can't tell you the last time I enjoyed seafood while listening to John Lee Hooker (well, I can and it would be never which is why my mind was sort of blown). Groaney, groan, groan on some of the pricing but the overall situation here is worth the five stars. I get the hype and I get why it's always busy. Also, kudos to the owner who was up front and making sure to thank every single person that walked by/out the door. Very classy.

The menu is creative both for food and drinks, and you're definitely going to need a reservation to get seated. While you're there expect top notch service, and food that is really good, but at least in my experience, falling a bit short of the excellence the prices are aiming for. We were all kind of hungry and thirsty when we came in, having spent the day on Shackleford island, and being shut down at every turn by the restaurant we stopped into first hoping to have some appetizers (they were out of everything we asked about). This boded well for Parrott's, we got several apps and cocktails in addition to our mains. Unfortunately, it was really those apps that I felt fell short. Our waiter talked up the lamb meatballs to the point where we were really expecting to be blown away, and ultimately, they were pretty ordinary, and just two of them, making it hard to split amongst 6 people. Same could be said for the pork belly bbq skewers, they were small and didn't thrill any of us. The main courses made up for those shortcomings, a couple of us got the grouper, there was a scallops and grits order, a delicious pesto chicken pasta, and some crab cakes that I ended up being pretty jealous of because they stole the show. These mains were a good size helping, and each robust in their own ways, showcasing creativity and excellence in the kitchen. In the end, for the amount of the bill, you expect everything to be top notch up and down, and it fell short of that to me... but not so drastically so that I wouldn't recommend the place to others, with the caveat to have appetizers somewhere else first.
