The best biscuit I've had in a very, very long time! We had breakfast here twice during our 4 day trip to Atlantic Beach. Both times I order the hoop biscuit with sausage. The biscuit is huge (it looks like a muffin) but very soft and very flavorful. I am a big fan of overly cheesy things so this was perfect for me. The staff was always super helpful and the rooftop looks like a great place to have some drinks and appetizers on a nice day.

We were looking for a last minute place to have dinner after coming out from Raleigh for a family vacation -- this place was open and looked like a fast and easy dine in! The first and second floor views were both gorgeous as it's a small seafront fast casual diner; there was even a cute little bar on the second floor. The tater tots were crispy and tasted great! My bacon chicken ranch wrap was also very good (boyfriend approved). The shrimp wrap was also great -- shrimps were big and not breaded too much. The burgers were good but we're just your typical burger, nothing crazy. One of our orders was wrong -- chips came out with a burger instead of tater tots, but staff was especially kind enough to give us tater tots for free plus some ranch cups when asked. My only qualm about the place was that you have to pay almost $2 for a side of either fries, tots, or one other option instead of just a small bag of chips with your entree. Granted, the prices weren't bad for the seafood, especially by the seafront. Overall, this place was really nice to spend time with family, enjoy the sea breeze, and have a yummy bite on the go!

I had hoped that the flounder sandwich would have been made with local fish, but unfortunately it wasn't. Instead it came out of a bag, loaded with other identical fish pieces. The generic white bread hamburger bun was dressed with a tablespoon of tartar sauce, and a couple of pieces of iceberg lettuce. The service was good.

It's a nice breakfast spot. I would return. They have specials and short menu that makes choosing easy. The lady taking our order was kind and very honest. I appreciated her honesty, and it helped me make my choice, which was the bowl. It could have fed three people!

Perfectly fried treats, from the onion rings to the shoestring french fries. Loved the Reuben and my "bright red" North Carolina hotdog!

Jamie M.

Simply awesome food with a killer view from the rooftop bar. Hat tip to the fry cook who knows how to expertly fry everything from the onion rings to the Honey Shrimp - there's nothing more disappointing than over-fried food and this place has their team dialed in! The Reuben on the daily special was not to be missed and I really enjoyed my classic North Carolina "bright red" hot dog!

I cannot say enough good things about the service and the food!!! Just simply amazing!!! 10 out of 10, and let me not forget to mention the amazing view

I ordered ahead. It was done by the time I got there.. it took me maybe 12 minutes to get there. I ordered a cheese biscuit and added a sausage patty. It was absolutely delicious. My French toast was pretty good. The staff was friendly and I got a view of the ocean. What more could you ask for?

Food was mediocre-nothing was seasoned. We had to wait over 30 minutes for our food. Coffee was constantly empty. Out of some items-frustrating as their menu is already small. Chicken tenders were burnt. The space is very small which makes it loud and crowded. Would not come back.

Service was excellent- My Reuben was delicious! My husbands Crabcake sandwich was also spot on! Onion rings were fresh out of the fryer perfectly done. Fries were batter coated and perfect. Highly recommend.

Great location, right in the heart of Atlantic Beach. To order, there's a walk up counter and the staff were very warm and friendly. The service was very fast and the food was delicious. The inside seating area is small but there's also a larger outdoor area upstairs. If you get there before 9, or park alongside the sidewalk, you won't have to pay for parking otherwise you will because it's literally steps from the beach so beach parking rates apply. I'd highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area. We will definitely be back!

Get the hoop cheese biscuit. It's so good. The staff was really nice. We are upstairs on the roof which was empty in the morning.

A handful of tables and bar seating if you want to dine in.

Burgers, fries, tots, shrimp wrap, and onion rings were all the things we ordered. Everything was pretty good! We appreciated the warm welcome when we came in. The cashier was cheerful and friendly. With one other employee working the grill, we patiently waited about 10-15 minutes for our food to be cooked fresh. The restaurant was clean and bright. They have one high chair in the place, but for the size of the restaurant that wasn't surprising. We have no complaints and would go back.

Chefs kiss. Genuinely the best chicken sandwich my tastebuds have ever touched. the boom boom sauce really made it go boom. 10/10 would definitely try again. I will say the wait was a pretty long time but worth it for the quality and taste of the food. read more

Went to the bite yesterday, and have always loved their food. however, yesterday I ordered a chicken caesar wrap (which i used to love) with onion rings, and it was actually the worst meal i have ever had. The wrap was absolutely disgusting. It looked and tasted like dog food and the lettuce wash mush. The chicken in it was also mush. The onion rings looked like they would be delicious, but the onion in every single onion ring was shriveled up and dry to the point you can barely chew it. I had to throw it away it literally wasn't edible. I don't know if staffing or ownership change happened, but that was the biggest waste of $20 i have ever spent in my life. read more

Great location next to Atlantic Beach. Upstairs rooftop bar has a nice view was relaxing but on the verge of getting crowded and louder. Food was very good - though be warned almost everything on menu was deep fried. Restaurant staff downstairs were fantastic - friendly and personable, bar staff were not memorable. Would return for beach front eats and the upstairs view. read more

Right next to Atlantic beach access, perfect if you are out on the beach. Easy grab and go meals. We happened to be headed out of town and decided to stop by. The pancakes are huge and fluffy. The chicken and waffles were good. Downside to them is that there are clumps of sugar throughout the waffle and make it way too sweet. I feel like these are not made in house like the pancakes are. There is a bar upstairs with more seating which is nice. read more

This is where you want to go for breakfast in Atlantic Beach! It's a cute little spot in a neighborhood off the causeway and not a greasy spoon but still has all the comfort breakfast food you want... WITH A BEACH VIEW! We got the pancakes with bacon and an omelet with toast. 10/10 all the way around. The pancakes are enormous and about 3/4" thick. Way more than we could eat! The omelet with bacon and sausage was delicious! Beyond the great food, the service is incredibly friendly, and the view upstairs on the roof is peaceful and beautiful and overlooks the beach. Such a great way to start our day! This is the breakfast spot! read more

It looks like a small diner when you walk into the bite.... BUT it's worth a small diner (trust me). When I saw the food *heaven music* THIS LOOKED SO GOOD. I was literally speechless. My mom got the pancakes and bacon (Ashly c.). And I got the omelette with bacon, sausage and toast on the side. The cheese was perfect the sausage tasted so good, the bacon was crispy and flavorful. The toast was perfectly toasted their orange juice you can really taste the orange. I tasted my moms pancakes they were SUPER SUPER fluffy and big, and tasted soooo good. Too bad I don't live in North Carolina or I would be coming here atleast every week. If you are looking for a good omelette/pancake place, the bite has got you!!! read more

This was the best!! Meals served quickly & We shared a homemade key lime pie w/oreo crust & raspberry drizzle which was very nice. This is a small place & only downside is lack of space & tables being so close together. Otherwise it's a great meal w/friendly staff.

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.

They were perfectly smoked with a sweet KC style sauce.

In my many trips to the AB area, I've driven by the old Mosquito often but it's always, always,…read morealways packed no matter the time of year. New plan for this trip. Step one should be the same for everyone. Get there when they open at 4:45 because damn does this place get busy quick even on weekdays. When I rolled into the parking lot at 4:40, I had probably 15-20 already at the door. Step two, if you get there at open, consider bar seating. Clam Chowder - Scalloped Scallops - Key Lime Pie I'll just keep it at this. Is anything I ordered going to reinvent the culinary wheel? No, and one could argue that the only negative here is that most everything is on the pricey side. But with that said, everything was extremely consistent, everything was brought out perfectly timed, my cup never runnethed (sure, it's a word) empty and the bar staff are all excellent conversationalists. Also one big upside, the ambiance. The bar area is kept dark as it should be in any bar type situation and the music selection was mostly a fantastic mix of classic R&B and Blues. Can't tell you the last time I enjoyed seafood while listening to John Lee Hooker (well, I can and it would be never which is why my mind was sort of blown). Groaney, groan, groan on some of the pricing but the overall situation here is worth the five stars. I get the hype and I get why it's always busy. Also, kudos to the owner who was up front and making sure to thank every single person that walked by/out the door. Very classy.

Being able to try different brews without having to buy a pint is a real hit for me. I always do 8 oz glasses so I can try the different IPAs, lagers and other brews. I normally sit at the bar or outside, the waitstaff are pros and take care of me. Not too light and not too heavy. All in a great experience. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

Coming from California I had a bit of a pretentious snob attitude toward local food here on small island, but I'm glad I was met with dishes humbling myself and showing me what this island has to offer. Everything was delicious and deserves praise. I was with my family of seven and they easily were able to accommodate us with all the dishes coming out at the same time and getting checked on frequently. Cocktails were well balanced and the seafood you could tell was caught the same day. Inside the decor feels beach themed but not overdone and the entire point. Instead you're met with comfort and cozy feels. Can't wait to return in the future to enjoy the different selections.

I will not be eating anywhere else but here for dinner, since that's the only time they are open. So onto the review. Tuesday April. 7, 2026 is 94 cent oyster night. I had 2 dozen raw at that price. They were good, but I'm an oyster snob so they were not exceptional. Not the restaurants fault at all. I've had amazing and it's hard to find that especially at that price point. Onto dinner. My wife got the seafood risotto. Dear lord it was good!! I got in addition to my 24 raw oysters the oyster stuffed with lava filled crab. Hot to the touch but worth the scalding tongue. For the entree I had the fillet mignon. Yes as a Kentuckian I realized that teeth were not needed for this at all . The steak was medium rare with perfection throughout. Asparagus and mashed taters were good but didn't compare. As a bonus we got the slaw and special potatoes (red russets cut thinly ) as a thanks for ordering. Terrific potatoes and ehhh on the slaw. We finished with the banana pudding cake for dessert and oh my goodness was that a nice closer. Yes we did have two pitchers of yuengling beer which were a nice touch. We will go back tomorrow and again Thursday before departure. If you read a negative review it MUST be a local who wants a place that isn't full of people because this is a gem!
