    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

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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. So good.

    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.

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

    This was a great place -first night in Atlantic Beach and this was a first rate choice!…read more We were not ready for a full meal so settled on the pork dumplings (excellent!) and salads with added protein. I had the Asian Crunch with grilled shrimp and my hubby had the house salad with grilled tuna! We both loved the choices and almost licked our plates clean. We will rerun here for sure and try some of the regular entrees! Fun casual place and the staff were all friendly and helpful.

    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.
