Stopped in for breakfast while staying in Indian Beach. Greeted with a handshake from a gentleman I'm assuming would be the owner. Promptly seated and were brought drinks right away. I had just eggs and corned beef hash and my companions had omelettes. All the food was tasty and ,being a Christian, them having Christian music was a plus for me. The place seemed impeccably clean and newly remodeled. Definitely worth stopping! read more

Stopped by for lunch ordered their shrimp platter and it was amazing. Shrimp were lightly baddered and normal in size however there were more than two dozen on the plate along with hush puppies, fries and cold slaw almost impossible to finish. The diner is spacious, spotlessly clean, staff hustling and helpful. Definately family oriented. The menu is extended and varied, serving just about anything you wish to order. This spot is a no frills just a place to enjoy good down home cooking. read more

This place was surprisingly good. Needed to eat in a rush and came here. I ordered the shrimp burger. It was awesome. Added tartar sauce and a dash of spice. Perfection. Burger was loaded with with shrimp. Perfectly cooked, nice crunch and springy middle and also well seasoned. Really fantastic. read more

Amazing breakfast!! This was our first time here and we will definitely be back soon.

Great breakfast place! There were a lot of people waiting when we got there but we were seated quickly!

My husband and I go to the 4 Corners at least once every other week, even during the height of tourist season. The staff are always friendly and the food is ALWAYS delicious!!! You can't beat their shrimp basket or their breakfast specials!!! If you haven't been in the past year, you are in for a nice surprise, the owner's son redesigned the interior and it is bright and welcoming, quite nautical! Take my advice and treat yourself to good food at very reasonable prices!!! read more

Great service great food great price very clean and efficient open till 2 pm Easy parking

After looking at some condos in the Atlantic Beach and Morehead City areas, we decided to do lunch before heading home. Yelp gave us several options, but this one caught our eye when it mentioned the 100 yr old dining car. Now it's pretty obvious when you pull in, that they've built the restaurant around the dining car, but I imagine you could sit at the original dining car bar if you asked. In any event, the rest of the diner is pretty basic, but seemed clean and comfortable to us. My wife ordered grilled cheese and hush puppies, and I had the shrimp burger and fries. We both came away happy with our meals. First time I have ever ordered a shrimp "burger". It was loaded with shrimp, to the point they were constantly falling off. It's quite difficult to eat, but very good and worth the effort. Service was also very good. Should we end up finding a condo in this area, we will be back for sure. read more

When in town I always go there for breakfast. Even with the wait we got in pretty fast. Staff is outstanding and food is great. Will be back. read more

The food we had on two visits was excellent! Try the meatball sub! Breakfast was great and served all day! Our server was friendly and helpful in orienting us to the area. Friendly, local ambiance. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Overall, the food was okay, but the service was terrible. As soon as we asked to be put on the list, the hostess--who I believe was also the owner--was very rude. She even went so far as to curse in her native language, presumably so we wouldn't understand, while throwing her hands in the air as if we were the problem. To make matters worse, she seated other parties who arrived after us--either because of our race or because their party was white and larger than ours. This experience has really turned me off from mom-and-pop-owned restaurants, and I hope no one ever has to go through what we went through just to get a table. read more

As always, hard working wait staff, busting their butts to serve generous servings of consistently hot and yummy breakfast favorites. Coffee is hot and good iced tea. The place is worn and comfortable with lots of windows, booths offer some personal space with feeling overcrowded. Decent prices. If you're at Atlantic Beach it's worth stopping here for breakfast! We do as frequently as possible. read more

Very friendly service, but typical breakfast fare. Found meat in vegetarian omelet. Food isn't seasoned (probably perfect for older customers). read more

Skip and go somewhere else! French toast was horrible. Not even real French Toast, the cook dipped it in pancake batter, which takes away the whole purpose of French toast. I did show the server the issue, and she didn't even try to correct it or offer a different item. Eggs were also fake, liquid eggs. read more

Came in to try it out. Cousin has raved about it and stops in to eat breakfast there religiously. Had a chicken with egg biscuit. Would recommend. Not a coffee drinker so I went with a Coke. After finding off breakfast has an opportunity too sit with the owner at the counter and we talked about his life journey and how he landed up buying this restaurant. Great story. Would I come back? Definitely. Would I recommend to family and friends? Yes read more

The food and atmosphere were AMAZING! Our server was friendly and did an awesome job. The best part of our trip here was the owner. He was amazing, kind and helpful. Wish I had gotten his name but he is a big part we will be making 4 corners a regular stop when visiting Atlantic beach! read more

An AB institution. It is what it is and that is a diner, plain and simple. It's not fancy, trendy, or gourmet. The food is basic, ample, and more or less reasonably priced. The service is friendly and attentive. My coffee cup and water glass were refilled so many times I had to refuse more. Note about the clam chowder. It is Bogue Banks/Hatteras style. That means no dairy and no tomato. The only thickener is potatoes and that means it may be thinner than you think expect. You may or may not care for this particular regional style. I do. Oh, and there's an upcharge for credit card usage but there's a bank catty corner from the diner. read more

Cute place. Looks like they literally build up a building around an old diner. Lots of seating and great locals serving. Good honest food and the prices are perfect. Typical southern menu with 5 pages of advertisements, lol. A great place to stop by yourself checking out the sunrise or with a group. read more

Such good diner food! Great price, service was awesome. I will for sure come back when in town!

As far as diners go, this is in my opinion a quintessential diner. EXACTLY what I am looking for when I want diner food. We got here at peak brunch time and still only had to wait 5-10 minutes. We got the ham and cheese omelette and the two eggs breakfast. Diner coffee? Great. Diner OJ? Great. Would highly recommend this stop for anyone on the island read more

It's a diner. Quick service. Food good but nothing spectacular. We went twice for breakfast

For the past ten years, our family has come here once or twice a year while on vacation, but let me just say that we only come here because our favorite breakfast places in the area are closed. Simply put, this place is a solid 3-star-review in every way, but they are charging 4 and 5-star-review prices for basic things that are simply ok. This place has an identity crisis of sorts; on one hand the environment and decor and simple, down-home fare with no frills would suggest one thing, but on the other hand, the prices, while not terribly exorbitant, are still out of line with local breakfast places that are simply way better overall quality. The service is always fine, and the entire staff does their job. Food comes out lightning-fast, and the wait staff doesn't hover and hound customers, yet they also don't disappear either. All in all, temper your expectations when you come here. The food is ok and pretty much commensurate with what you'd expect from a throwback to the 80's, but the fact that they're charging nearly $3 for a watery cup of coffee and nearly $12 for a basic cheese omelet doesn't jive with the no-frills dining experience they're using as their business model. Save yourself the sticker shock at the end and go up the road to the Banks Grill or to Giovanni's Bagels about five miles away. read more

I'm lowering my 5 star review. This morning I order 3 eggs over easy with country sausage and home fries. The home fries were cold and this is why the lower rating. Everything else was delicious as usual. Service is always outstanding here. read more

4 Corners Diner - Eggs over easy with country sausage and home fries. - Diners Near Me - Atlantic Beach, North Carolina

Average diner, but open 7 days a week and long hours for those hungry beach souls. The breakfast sandwich was okay, the meat felt very dry. The potatoes are the frozen ones fried and not flavorful. Location is right by the Circle, some parking available on site. read more

If you come down to Emerald Isle, you need to find this gem! Breakfast was good but the lunch menu especially platters were filled with nicely fried fish, okra, oyster, clam, French fries!!! Our server was very attentive and friendly! We all enjoyed our food and cleaned up our plates really well! When I come down Emerald isle again, this will be our go-to place! read more

An Atlantic Beach landmark for years is open following pandemic protocols. They have spaced out seating and table to meet current requirements. I've had both breakfast and lunch here. Both had good food, service, and reasonably priced. It's a place where you hear locals in conversation, which is usually a good sign of good hospitality of the staff. During the tourist season, expect a challenge to get a parking space and a wait to be seated. Even with that, I think you'll enjoy the foos and the overall experience. read more

The owner is absolutely the rudest person I have ever met. A restaurants appearance and food might be great, but when the owner is rude for no apparent reason it doesn't matter how good the food is.... It's a shame! May God have mercy. read more

I always try to stop here when I go to the beach. The food is always amazing and the staff is friendly, helpful and very nice!! I usually get breakfast. I have recently had their scrambled eggs-YUM!! Not too dry and always delicious! I also tried their French toast this past week. It's sour dough bread... so tender and easy to cut with a fork!! It's usually crowded but the wait staff still take great care of you!! I will be back!! read more

4 Corners Diner - Eggs with bacon, and French toast - Diners Near Me - Atlantic Beach, North Carolina

Great service but the food was not seasoned one bit and I'm pretty sure my biscuit was microwaved. Typically diner feel.

Great little diner. This was recommended to us by a local at the Aquarium. We enjoyed the breakfast. The portions are hefty and food delicious. The sausage gravy is the real deal. My kids loved the French toast and indulged in a milk shake as a special treat. These milk shakes are wonderful and flavorful. read more

4 Corners is a local favorite. This diner was packed on Saturday morning, so expect a bit of a wait if you come during prime breakfast hours. It was about 25 minutes for a group of 4 at 10:30am. You can expect your standard eggs, sausage, home fries, waffles, pancakes, grits, etc here. Breakfast and lunch is served all day. We can only speak on the breakfast (and chicken tenders), not sure if we would order the other entrees like spaghetti and chicken parm though. read more

I have Celiac Disease and have to avoid gluten. I asked if my eggs could be cooked in a pan and not on the grill because the waitress told me they cook pancakes on the same grill (which is typical at places like this) and makes the chances for cross contamination with gluten very high. The waitress was very sweet and said she see would go ask. I watched her ask this woman at the register that clearly didn't care nor liked many people I saw her interact with. She gave a snotty look and said "No, we can't accommodate that" like she was being asked to cut her right arm off! So the sweet waitress seemed disappointed and came back and told me no. I could tell she wasn't too thrilled about the response either. After thinking about what I should do, she came back and I asked if there was anyway she could please just ask them to clean off the spot where they would cook my eggs. (I really didn't want to have to leave or sit there and watch my daughter eat). She said, "your order will go to the small kitchen(due to where we were seated) so it should be fine. ". I didn't bother asking about the grits or potatoes because it was a lost cause at the point. When she came back with my 2 eggs and bacon (a pile full of bacon) she said, "If it makes you feel any better, the grill where your eggs were cooked..only eggs are cooked there!" So I did feel better...kinda. And she was so genuine. The eggs and bacon were good. And the waitress was sweet. If I could give the place a -10 for the "woman" that hated life working there I would. I won't go back again just because I don't feel like it's safe for celiac and some of the staff could care less. Note- We mainly went there because there was a positive Google review that someone posted about a shellfish allergy and the business responded back with something positive about helping out people with allergies. WRONG!!!! read more
