    I frequent this place often. My go to place to enjoy the beers in the morning or evening. Good selection of beer, nice staff. Cash only, there is an ATM inside. Touch tunes to listen to music and food place next door connected by a catwalk. Definitely recommend!

    Good time and solid spot. Came here on Christmas as it was the only bar open and playing the football games. Bartender was chill and efficient. Solid crowd of locals that made for good conversation. Drinks were fair priced and I had a good time far way from home. Thanks for having me!

    Cold cold beer! Interesting decor, light coming n lots of windows, no longer the dice bar of Atlantic Beach Circle of the past. Very modernized. T-shirts for sale along with draft, canned, bottled beers, wine and a full bar. Music piping in, playing great songs that are reminiscent of the days when Molly Hatchet played the circle. The space is clean and welcoming, even to dogs. A wide assortment of ages and even a party van--not Stevie Levy, but a rowdy birthday crew.

    Atlantic Beach, North Carolina - The "Tackle Box Tavern" is a hand-off bar from "Tina" in Virginia Beach. Bar stools are back to work in NC, but the only bar stool happened to be next to the co-owner "Rich" (my pARTy Gods always gave a plan). "Rich" gave me an interesting insights into the design & construction of the "Tackle Box". The "Tackle Box" is a very nautical-themed ocean view bar with an emphasis on mermaids. It appears to be a friendly interactive bar with the usual beach characters. The bar is a CASH ONLY beer & liquor bar with option to order in food. Freedom has returned to NC, as all the bar stools are operational & the customers are maskless & walkin' about. "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! 05.11.21

    Great location. Fair prices. Good vibes. Cold drinks. Lots of locals. Great views. The bartender had the personality of a turnip. My drink was good so I'm not complaining. Both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Cash only.

    It's a bar that serves cans of beer. It is also a cash only establishment. They have corn hole outside, which is cool.

    The staff and service here are top notch. Our family of 6 did a day trip to the Morehead City area…read morefor the NC Shell Show and stayed for play time so our kids could play and run around at Shevans Park nearby. We stopped by El's after our kids worked up an appetite. We liked the old school drive-in feel and the kids eating in their car seats strapped in with the DVD player and AC on was a really nice touch after all the running. We got a bunch of things off the menu: grilled cheese and nuggets for my 2 younger boys, hamburger and double cheeseburger for my 2 older boys, onion rings, hush puppies and the ever so famous shrimp burgers for my husband and I (hubby got the super shrimp burger). I wouldn't have considered trying the shrimp burger but after reading about how amazing it is, I knew I had to try it. There were a lot of shrimp in the regular burger, and I'm not a coleslaw girly but the coleslaw really worked in the burger. It really did not disappoint and now I am salivating just thinking about it.

    There's nothing like El's…read more El's Drive-In in Morehead City has been a beloved tradition in my family for decades. So while visiting family in Jacksonville, NC, I couldn't resist making the drive to Morehead just to savor the iconic Shrimp Burger -- often duplicated, but never, ever matched. Fresh, delicious, and full of memories. Now I'm back in Atlanta, and let's just say... lunch is feeling a little too ordinary today. I'd do just about anything for another El's Shrimp Burger right now! The best part? I brought a new friends along, and guess what? They loved it. Sharing is caring -- and when it comes to good food and great memories, it's the best kind of love.
