    Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Lucas D.

    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.

    Great breakfast spot. Small menu which I think is great so they can focus on doing things well. Counter service so be prepared for that. I recommend the breakfast bowl and do get a side of grits. You will not be disappointed! Place was clean and friendly!

    chicken caesar wrap and onion rings

    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.

    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!

    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!

    breakfast with a view

    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

    A burnt chicken tender.

    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.

    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?

    Reuben with onion rings

    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.

    Kind of a "hole in the wall" place, but with great food & generous portion sizes. You order & pick up at the counter.

The moment we arrived, I felt like I had accidentally entered a time machine and landed somewhere in the 1990s. Numbers for wait management? Being called by your number? Classic diner-style seating and service? Even the checkout experience had strong "please rewind the VHS" energy. And honestly, I loved it. The food was fantastic. The shrimp and grits were amazing, especially with the buttery toast. The chicken sandwich was absolutely on point, and the waffles were perfectly crunchy and delicious. Now, the 3% credit card fee did try to bring me back to 2026 for a moment. But after that food, I think I can emotionally recover. If you're anywhere around Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, or Indian Beach, do yourself a favor and stop here. Come hungry, be prepared to wait a little, embrace the 90s experience, and enjoy some seriously good food. Would definitely come back. Just don't ask me to explain what a VHS tape is.

The bartender was busy working and singing in between taking orders as she prepared drinks for customers. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and offered the specials before we placed our order. We love to sample the menu when we travel and the vast menu of tapas gave us the perfect opportunity to try just about everything. They had a smaller wine selection, but there was something for just about everyone. Our waiter was very attentive and offered suggestions on what to try if we were torn between several menu options. The Spanish lamb meatballs, truffle honey pork belly and rosemary beef were the tapas that stood out as the most flavorful and making us each want just one more bite. The Spanish meatballs were glazed with sriracha which caused me to pause before ordering. However, I'm so happy that we gave them a try. They had a bold flavor, but the whipped feta and cilantro were enough to balance the heat. The truffle honey pork belly was sliced differently. We have only had this cut into cubes at other restaurants in the past. The way that they slice the pork belly is so much better. The pork belly was served with cheese grits. We don't even like cheese grits, but could not get enough of these smoked Gouda grits. The rosemary beef with asparagus and mashed potatoes was perfect. The beef was tender, the asparagus cooked to perfection and who doesn't love mashed potatoes. We visit the crystal coast about twice a year and always try a couple of new places. We look forward to coming back to Circa 81 each time that we visit!
