Fried Chicken Livers
Pat T.

The food was delicious, especially fried chicken platter. Crispy skin but the meat was juicy. A corn bread was delicious. We wanted to try dessert too but the waitress gave us the bill while we were half way into our dinner. Maybe the desserts were sold out? We wouldn't never know.

We came here for lunch. It's a cute little restaurant. I like the decor of the place. I ordered Fried chicken 3 pieces with hushpuppies and collard green. I like that they lightly sprinkle salt on the hushpuppies to enhance the sweetness. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly and still juicy. Blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream was perfect to end the meal. The warm blueberry filling and the cold vanilla ice cream complimented each other. The staff are friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place.

We stopped by for a quick lunch on our road trip. Location is just off the highway. Service was excellent. Food was what I call "white bread." My tacos were filled with unseasoned chicken breast, dried out cheddar cheese, iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes. Where's the cilantro or salsa? The tacos were accompanied by a cup of wonderfully flavorful black beans and a cup of over cooked Spanish white rice. My Hubbie had the meatloaf melt sandwich with mashed potatoes which was hearty and wonderful. Side of green beans was lackluster.

Grilled Shrimp plate. Gluten Free.

Excellent service and atmosphere! The people are so nice and they are very accommodating to travelers with special request.

As a southerner and someone with basic cooking skills I'm insulted. The best part of my meal was the hush puppies. The tea was bitter and watered down. The chicken wasn't seasoned. Also all the sides were canned or pre-made. Don't say southern if your mac and cheese is stoffers, and the collards are canned. Excuse me but as someone who makes both from scratch run like forest Gump away from this sad excuse for Southern. Cracker Barel is better than this place.

Shrimp and Grits

What a great place. It is bright and airy. They do have outdoor seating and even though it was 55…read moredegrees with a 25 mph wind, there were people eating on the deck. Our waiter, Carlos, is great. Smiling, friendly and polite and makes great recommendations. My husband had the fish and chips (salt and vinegar). I had the gumbo and a side of sweet potato fries. So really good. My husband also had the Screwball expresso martini. Wowza!

NC coast has a great view of the sound. We were seated quickly upon arrival and discussed dietary…read morerestrictions (pork) with the waiter. He was initially warm and as we ordered, asked that he let us know if we inadvertently selected a dish containing pork. The dishes arrived with astonishing speed. The Caesar salad had some unidentified fried object on it and when I asked the waiter, he let me know it was pork rinds. He did not acknowledge that it was an error and flippantly suggested I remove them. I asked for a plate to put them on. The waiter's demeanor turned cold after this (what I considered innocuous) exchange. Regarding the dishes, everything was beautifully presented and arrived hot and fresh at our table. I would not recommend the fried cauliflower as it was very bland with some chili sauce splashed over top. The scallops were very well prepared however. NC Coast is a nice spot for a special meal, especially with the view. Just hope the service is more consistent with other guests.
