    We were finishing up the last leg of a 10-day vacation by spending a few days in Atlantic Beach. We'd eaten in a lot of restaurants. We'd had both good and bad food. We'd spent a lot of money. Yelp reviews led us to the Captain's Table. The servers were sweet, outgoing, and friendly. The prices were reasonable. And we were starved. My family basically ordered an assortment of fried foods. And here's the truth: you could bread and deep fry the grass in my yard, and we'd probably give it a try. Our orders included: a fried chicken sandwich, fried oysters, fried catfish, fried trout, fried flounder, fried clams, french fries, fried pickles, and fried okra. Big Daddy did branch out of the fryer and had some seared scallops on his plate. A basket of hush puppies also came with our meal. Everything came out hot and crisp. My catfish was wonderfully fishy, just as catfish should be. And Kid #1's flounder was mild, just as flounder should be. The hush puppies were yummy though not quite as delicious as the restaurant next door. The fish sandwich was enormous. Overall, the portions were large but not excessive. I would have liked a couple of more fried clams, but that's probably because I was feeling greedy. I didn't love the mashed potatoes & gravy, which was typical diner style, but I am pretty picky about my taters. Our meals included free pudding, but we ordered some specialty desserts instead. They were also very good. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Captain's Table. We even considered going back the next day, but then Yelp led us elsewhere.

    Food: 5 Customer Service: 5 Ambience: 4 Location: 5 Parking: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Reservations: Not required This restaurant is situated in Morehead, NC and was a very pleasant dinner choice just a few weeks ago. It was very easy to navigate to with the use of a Google maps. This restaurant has a small private parking lot, and we decided to call in an take out order. The staff was very friendly and helpful during my ordering process. Everything we ate was served hot and was well seasoned. My spouse and I truly enjoyed everything we ordered. I probably will return for another visit and tried them again the next time I'm in town. I would highly recommend it to friends and family members as well.

    Oh. My. God. What an AMAZING family meal! First of all, Selby took FANTASTIC care of us and it made the experience 10 s. Hush puppies INCLUDED with meals, and delicious. We ordered combo platters for the table. Definitely had plenty to take come. Clam chowder was authentic and delicious. Sweet tea was on point, so was the ranch. Little details make it too! We will NOT miss this restaurant ever again on visits to the area!

    We went to Morehead City for the first time so we could check it out a little. As we were exploring the city, we got hungry, so we looked for a place to eat. Since it was only about 3pm, we noticed that a lot of the restaurants didn't open until 4 or 5 pm. Fortunately, The Captain's Table was open , so we stopped in for dinner. It's a small and cozy restaurant and the staff were friendly and helpful. So, after getting the free hush puppies, my wife Kathey chose the seafood combo of crab cakes and fried shrimp with a baked potato and some fried okra. My pick was the seafood combo of fried shrimp and scallops with mac & cheese along with some green beans. The food was great! It came out hot and was very flavorful. The servings were quite plentiful too. So glad we stopped in to try it out.

    Blackened Mahi was great and juicy.

    Best dining so far on our OBX/South East tour. Probably beause it's away from the tousist areas. Super awesome and engaging staff. All locals eating there. Must try. Menu has much more that seafood and breakfast 24hrs.

    Clam chowder, shimp plate with green beans and sweet potatoes

    Small local spot that's very relaxed but delicious at the same time. All the food tastes very fresh and works well together. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

    Excellent banana pudding today!!
    Steven C.

    This place does not disappoint. I love every thing about it. Today I had blackened mahi, sautéed spinach, cabbage and okra. I started off with some tasty clam chowder and finished with the delicious banana pudding below.

    I absolutely love finding places like this when traveling. Definitely a locals haunt and now I know why. Great good, LOTS of it, unbeatable prices, and terrific service. I had the clam strips which were breaded just enough and fried perfectly - not overcooked at all, so excellent texture. Plenty of awesome sides to choose from, but it was my birthday so I double-starched lol I was stuffed full after eating half the meal! You definitely get your money's worth. Best seafood prices around. May have to come back and try their breakfast!

We ordered a shrimp burger and a super hamburger(special toppings) with an order of fries and one of the hush puppies. Order was quick and the food was hot and delicious! The hush puppies were not like others you normally get - they were long and plump! Almost like rolled tubes! They were delicious. Both sandwiches were very good and cooked just right. My burger came with slaw but it was not like any slaw I've had. Somewhat sweet but no mayonnaise! I'll be looking online for this recipe. Overall great drive in food at a good price. We will be back again this week!

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.

    Ioanni's Grill is one of those places that may feel like a casual neighborhood bar when you walk…read morein, but the food consistently punches way above expectations. The prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and honestly, most everything we've tried has been really good. Their Greek salad is one of my favorites -- fresh, flavorful, and big enough to make a meal, especially when you add blackened shrimp, buffalo shrimp, chicken, or whatever protein you're in the mood for. They also make great pizzas, wings, and subs. My husband and I will sometimes split a sub because they're so generous with portions. What really keeps us coming back, though, is the atmosphere and the people. It's relaxed, unpretentious, and the staff are always friendly and easy to interact with. Just a solid local spot with consistently great food.

We came on a Tuesday night around 5 and were seated. The place was not full, not yet, but by 6 pm packed. I ordered the chicken Gyro and a salad. The salad was crisp and tasty. The Gyro was filled with tons of lettuce but not much chicken and the chicken was dry. I guess if there had been more tzatziki sauce it would not have been that bad. I ate the few pieces of chicken and left the rest of it. My friend had the special which was some kind of a teriyaki chicken with onion rings and sweet potato fries. I had a bite of each. Again, the chicken was dry and the onions rings were good but the sweet potato fries were excellent! I guess they put a brown sugar on them and they are tasty. Our waitress was great. Friendly and always with a smile. The price was good. Would I go back, probably not... but my friends love the place and go weekly.
