Ioanni's Grill is one of those places that may feel like a casual neighborhood bar when you walk in, but the food consistently punches way above expectations. The prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and honestly, most everything we've tried has been really good. Their Greek salad is one of my favorites -- fresh, flavorful, and big enough to make a meal, especially when you add blackened shrimp, buffalo shrimp, chicken, or whatever protein you're in the mood for. They also make great pizzas, wings, and subs. My husband and I will sometimes split a sub because they're so generous with portions. What really keeps us coming back, though, is the atmosphere and the people. It's relaxed, unpretentious, and the staff are always friendly and easy to interact with. Just a solid local spot with consistently great food. read more

My friends raved about this place so we came. As soon as I saw it, I said, oh I was here back in 2012. I don't live up here so it was only the one time. We came on a Tuesday night around 5 and were seated. The place was not full, not yet, but by 6 pm packed. I ordered the chicken Gyro and a salad. The salad was crisp and tasty. The Gyro was filled with tons of lettuce but not much chicken and the chicken was dry. I guess if there had been more tzatziki sauce it would not have been that bad. I ate the few pieces of chicken and left the rest of it. My friend had the special which was some kind of a teriyaki chicken with onion rings and sweet potato fries. I had a bite of each. Again, the chicken was dry and the onions rings were good but the sweet potato fries were excellent! I guess they put a brown sugar on them and they are tasty. Our waitress was great. Friendly and always with a smile. The price was good. Would I go back, probably not... but my friends love the place and go weekly. read more

Bestie and I swung by on a long holiday weekend and although the parking lot was packed we were pleasantly surprised how quickly we were sat. The decor inside is sports bar fun, and we felt as soon as we walked in that this must be where the locals go and we both totally saw why! Our waitress was a little slack but I'm not docking the review because of it. My ham and cheese sub was superb, with melty cheese on my ham, the perfect amount of mayo, fresh lettuce and tomato, and the house dressing I drizzled on top added to the perfection. The steak fries were hot and soft on the inside with their house ranch as a dipping sauce made for the perfect lunch, with enough leftover that I had for dinner that night! I can't wait to come back! read more

We traveled to Atlantic Beach and were there for about five days. We always try to sample new restaurants each time that we visit. Ioanni's Grill is definitely a hangout for the locals. Just about everyone that came through the door knew at least one other person at the bar. They had several specials the evening that we went and I opted for Jeff's homemade turkey and rice soup and the grilled cheese. It was delicious! I don't know Jeff, but I swear my grandmother was the one making the soup in that kitchen...yummy!!! you can tell by the picture that I had already finished half of the grilled cheese before I remembered to take a pic. The soup was very filling and they definitely didn't skimp on any of the ingredients. We will be back the next time we visit Atlantic Beach! read more

On a Sunday night there are not many options for food after 8 pm in Morehead City. Friendly staff welcomed us and we were treated to all screens tuned to NFLSunday ticket featuring The KC Chiefs and the Colts. A Greek salad, Gyro, and Spaghetti with Meatballs-were all tasty and fresh. The Bloody Mary special and Miller High Life weren't bad either. Great, friendly atmosphere, cool staff, and a nice local group of people always make this place a winner! read more

Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza is amazing!!! Local bar atmosphere. Call in and pick is speedy.

Friendly efficient service. Even a small issue was solved easily with care and concern. Would go back again.

Great service and informative bartender. Gator bites were awesome!! the large Italian sub was decent. Lots of locals and plenty of seating. Very good place for sports viewing and friendly people.. highly recommended for an afternoon bite and beer. read more

Ioanni's Grill - Gator bites - Pizza Near Me - Morehead City, North Carolina

Ahi Tuna, calamari, crab dip and wings were all delicious. The service left a little bit to be desired. Our waitress was not the most personable. read more

The bartender Tiana was the rudest waitstaff I've ever encountered, and when we asked for a different server (which we've never done before) she said good luck getting any food. Later my wife lost her wedding ring, and upon panicking the bar tender shouted "karma is a b****", the wildest experience I've ever had with a restaurant. Will not only not return, but will go out of my way to make sure this is known in the community. Terrible look. read more

Now this is what I'm talking about! Awesome menu of Greek/Italian and bar food items ranging from gyros to pizzas to huge burgers. The crab bread was to die for and the wings were some of the best I've ever had- a Wednesday special no Less ...75 cents. Steady stream of what seemed like locals for our entire visit. Service was A plus. Cold beer and drink specials/ delicious food. A must stop- we will return- hands down one of the best places we've eaten at down here. read more

We always like the food. Guy who greets is very rude and unhelpful. First he snapped at us for standing inside to wait. Gave us a pager and Said he would let us know if two seats at the bar came available. We saw two couples walk in and realized they got bar seats that we couldn't see from outside. When I inquired a second time why he didn't call us he said it's not his problem, it's first come first served. When I said I'll just go somewhere else he replied "great." We surely didn't come for an attitude. We won't be back. read more

The staff here are amazing, and always super friendly and attentive. The food is top notch, whether it's subs, sandwiches, pizza, pasta or even hot wings. Generally a little crowded but service is still quick. Love the atmosphere and the interior design. read more

Great atmosphere & staff, food is very good. Next time when I'm in the area, I will definitely go back. Good variety of different fruits on the menu to try. read more

Always good food and good service. Our favorite local bar and eatery! We have ordered several items off the menu and special. Have not had a bad meal yet. read more

If you're going to be staying by Atlantic Beach or in Morehead City ya need to stop buy Ioanni's. I called my order in and the woman on the phone was very polite and answered the one or two questions I had. My boyfriend and I got the cheese pizza and the wings! We walked in and we're quickly helped by a very nice server. I also appreciated that the bartender made sure we had been helped too. Super cute inside, lots of football flags, definitely the spot to watch the game! Now to the food...let's just say I now have a fave spot to go to when we visit because the pizza AND the wings were 10/10!!! Absolutely delicious, I was upset when I finished. Do yourself a favor and visit this great spot! read more

This was our first trip to Atlantic Beach and we arrived later than we planned. This grill was one of the few still open with decent ratings so we decided to give it a try. I placed our order as I was driving otw to pick up our food. The gentleman who answered the phone was extremely helpful in recommending items. We got a large pepperoni pizza and 10 wings, took his recommendation for the grilled hot wings. They have lots of flavors to choose from! Upon arrival, I had to wait for my food a bit which was expected since the drive was only about 10 minutes from our hotel. The waitress who brought me my good even carried it out to my car without me asking or expecting her to. Very thoughtful and helpful service! Since I was carrying out, I didn't see a lot of the inside but from what I did see from the front it appeared clean. read more

Im a pretty nice guy, very easy going. if you have kids don't bring them here. I was considering just leaving and taking them to Mcdonalds Play Place. First impression, the place reminded me of a strip club minus the good looking women. Our waitress smelled like cigarettes and b.o. More than im used to. Honestly, if you're looking for a good place to eat, get a restraining order on this place to make sure you stay far away from here. read more

Sat at the bar instead of a table. Had the fish sandwich and Buffalo chicken wrap which were the sandwiches of the day. Both delicious and nice portions. read more

This is the best bar/restaurant in Morehead city. The Philly cheesesteak is my favorite but everything on the large menu is good. Definitely gets rowdy on weekends at night but this is a must visit if in town. I've been coming back for 20+ years read more

Great wait staff! Had the pleasure of meeting the owners who were down to earth the whole time while serving us some best "bar" food we've ever had. (Even though it was far beyond bar food)! read more

The food was nothing special. Seemed like most was probably frozen and just fried to serve. Very loud in there with TVs running. Service was not seen hardly at all. I should have known better when I parked in the back and saw staff smoking and talking on their phone. Only go there if you are unable to find anything else or just in a rush. read more

Total locals bar! Get your ass in here. Legit wings. Drink prices so reasonable and if you can find a spot (pick ups in the lot)... good gals running the bar! @drinkslowandlow read more

Ioanni's has some of the best wings. They were great! Ambiance is always fun and casual

As advertised-locals, active, great atmosphere AND food! Host was immediately engaged and my server Bella was spot on in attentive table service. Calamari wasn't fresh (rings), but the Ioanni's Single is fantastic! Cooked to perfection and highlighted by the onions and yes..BACON! Asked a local about this location and was immediately convinced it was the place to try - not disappointed! Sports sports and more sports memorabilia and the music was perfect - Hair Nation....nuff said. * Stay local, eat local...Ioanni's on the short list! read more

Food and service have always been great! Alligator bites are a must try! No complaints read more

Unacceptable service, waited over an hour for our food just for them to take off drinks as compensation for the wait... Olive Garden serves food faster than this. Would not recommend, Ioanni's is also overpriced and food quality was just as bad as their service. read more

Good food and amazing staff! We brought 3 yr old twins and our waitress was so helpful! Great drinks as well!

A glowing review is the least they deserve! The way Sam says "under water farts" that tugs at my heartstrings! Don't miss out on this great place! #fromtheirish read more

I have been coming here for years, granted I had a ten year gap when I lived in Chapel Hill, but even on my visits here to see family, I have never had a bad thing at Ioannis! It's one of my go-tos during the week and on the weekends. All of the staff here is incredible; quick service, with a smile, and a really fun time. All of the salads are top hits (the greek is out of this world). Every wrap I've tried from here has pretty much always been my favorite thing. The shrimp are always cooked to perfection. The subs and and nachos are on point. And of course, the best wings in town! Truly, the whole menu is great! They make great drinks and have an awesome selection of beers, alcoholic and n/a. If you're wondering if this is where you should eat, do it. You won't be disappointed! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here otw back to Greensboro. "Best wings in town" is what the sign read. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was through the roof! Our server, Kelly, was quick, sweet, knowledgeable, AND here on her day off. Did I mention they were having $1 wings? Everything was so delicious and I will def be looking forward to stopping here again and Im back ! :) Happy New Year! read more

Everything I have ever tried is absolutely delicious. Service is always great and atmosphere is fun read more

My meal here was delicious. Turkey sub and fries. Everything was tasty. Good prices too

Excellent pizza! We had wings too. It was all delicious. Had it delivered!!! Would definitely recommend!!!

Treated the staff to a chicken bacon ranch pizza and a sub yesterday. It is amazing and the pizza was probably one of the best I've ever had. Tons of flavor, great toppings, cooked to perfection and the dough was out of this world. I also LOVE the fact that they deliver without using DoorDash/UberEats. Another all time favorite here is the crab bread... do yourself a favor and make sure your order the crab bread to start your meal. Keep up the awesome work, Ioanni's!! read more

The best!!!! Love this family owned restaurant and bar. Food is delicious - regardless what you order. Buffalo chips. Amazing. Crab bread. Amazing. Cheese steak amazing. read more

Where to start here ‍.. tried to call in a take out order but as usual the line is always busy so I went up to put my take out order in when I arrived I asked the hostess if I could place a take out order she informed me that it had ti be done at the bar. The dining area had several empty booths the bar was full and the two bartenders seemed very over whelmed as people were standing waiting for drinks and food. As I waited to place my order a couple beside me that had been there for who knows how long had their food come out .. well I should say the ladies came out the gentleman's came out 15 mins after hers .. the so called manger finally got behind the bar and took my order afterwards he came from around the bar and was talking and I told him that they need to have their phone lines fixed so call in orders could be placed and what the hostess told me about having g to place my order at the bar as I noticed 4 waitress standing in the back not doing anything he said that they should and could have taken it instead of going to correct the issue he walked back to their "huddle" place and began to play and joke with them. The food was just ok .. definitely not worth the hour I spent getting it read more
