Marmalade is located in Morehead City, NC (my new fav city). It is a busy cafe shop but luckily…read morethere was open seating available. The decor was so nice and although busy, they made sure to clear out tables and ensure everything was clean & tidy. This place is more of you order your food and find your own table. They will call out your name and you raise your hand, they will bring it to you. I ordered regular coffee and a bacon egg and cheese on a plain bagel. It was delicious! Staff were great and attentive. My food did take more than 20 minutes to make but once arrived, it was worth it. Found parking right up front. The bathroom was my fav. I know odd thing to note but it was something I HAD to note it lol will def return back to try out other things on their menu!

Disappointing first experience. We walked into The Bite at the Box specifically hoping to get…read morebreakfast, only to be told the breakfast menu was already closed. What made it worse was that the woman directly in front of us was still served breakfast, and we were told we were the cutoff. If breakfast is only available for a short window, that should be clearly communicated and handled consistently. Cutting off customers immediately after serving the person in front of them is a frustrating way to welcome first-time visitors. We left without eating, so I can't even say whether the food is good. Poor customer service, inconsistent policy, and a bad first impression. I won't be back.

As she was seating us, she explained that the special for the evening was half price appetizers. While we waited to order, we browsed the wine selection. There truly is something here for everyone. We ordered the duck fat fries, blistered shishitos, pork belly burnt ends, tuna Takati, and dry ranch, smoked wings, fried green tomatoes and the fungus among us flatbread. Every single appetizer that we sampled was prepared to perfection. The ones that stood out were the fried green tomatoes and the blistered shishitos. This is definitely my favorite restaurant that we had an opportunity to visit in Morehead city.

It was too loud to have a normal conversation. Ambiance = 2. i ordered flounder and my wife got the shrimp burger. She was satisfied with her meal, but it was just OK. Mine was not. The flounder (fried) was soggy and mushy with dark skin underneath. Still, there was little flavor and because for some reason the cook plated the fish on top of the included fries, they were soggy as well. Overall, I got the impression they aren't trying to be anything but a an overpriced mediocre joint in a captive market.

Floyd's Restaurant Review - (4/5) Floyd's delivers exactly…read morewhat great Southern comfort food should: generous portions, rich flavors, and dishes that are clearly made with care. Unfortunately, several sanitation observations during my visit kept an otherwise excellent meal from earning a higher rating. The dining room was noticeably warm throughout the evening, making it somewhat uncomfortable during the meal. On the positive side, every member of the staff we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. We also had the opportunity to meet the pastry chef, who was personable and clearly passionate about his work. The meal began with the house rolls, which were outstanding. They were warm, incredibly soft, buttery, and practically melted in your mouth. The Shrimp Napoleon was an excellent appetizer and easily one of the highlights of the evening. The shrimp were well prepared, the flavors were balanced, and the dish had wonderful depth. I'd rate it an 8/10. The deviled eggs had good flavor overall, although the filling leaned heavily toward mustard. The egg whites were somewhat firm and gave the impression they had been prepared well in advance and refrigerated. While enjoyable, they weren't nearly as memorable as the other dishes. The meatloaf was exceptional--without question one of the best I've ever had. It was tender, flavorful, and complemented perfectly by a rich, savory gravy. The green beans tasted remarkably fresh and were cooked beautifully. I added a side of cheese grits, which were creamy, cheesy, and absolutely outstanding. Portion sizes throughout the meal were generous and represented excellent value. Dessert finished the evening on a high note. The Key lime pie was outstanding, with a perfectly balanced tartness, smooth filling, and excellent crust. It was one of the best restaurant desserts I've had in quite some time. Where the experience suffered was in several sanitation and food-handling observations. During service, I observed an employee visibly sweating, wiping away perspiration, and then continuing food service. A fly was also discovered in an iced tea, and from my seat I was able to observe that the tea had been poured from a communal pitcher that was being used to refill multiple guests' glasses. One observation was particularly concerning. While seated near the service area, I watched an employee package a guest's leftover meal. During the process, the container slipped, partially opened, and the food fell onto the kitchen floor. Rather than discarding it or replacing the portion, the food was simply picked up, placed back into the container, and boxed as though nothing had happened. As someone who pays close attention to restaurant operations, moments like these raise legitimate concerns about food handling standards and overall sanitation practices. Floyd's has all the ingredients of a destination restaurant. The food is genuinely excellent, the staff is welcoming, and several dishes are worth returning for. However, consistent execution extends beyond the plate. Food safety and sanitation are just as important as flavor, and the observations from this visit make it difficult to award a higher score.
