Boom Boom shrimp tacos
Laura M.

The waitress was great! The atmosphere was relaxed. We dined outside. The food was delicious!

Birria tacos
Diane W.

Looking for somewhere to enjoy the beautiful weather & have lunch in Morehead City & came across Tower 7. We were seated on nice outside patio w/umbrellas & were served chips & salsa. We ordered some guacamole which was quite good. We decided it was a taco day so we tried the Mahi tacos & Birria tacos, both served w/choice of rice or beans on the side. Service was fast, tacos were delicious. We would come back.

Cantinarita!
Paul J.

First off the Cantinarita is the best Margarita in Carteret County. That was a great sipper but be careful! You might want several. I had the Tacos In A Beach Towel,and my dining companions got a Fajita Burrito and an ACP. The Salsa and Queso were on point. They have done a great job at this location, right on the waterfront.

The table behind us sat dirty the entire time we ate and was empty even before we arrive so was not bussed for at least 45 minutes, which is ridiculous seeing how we had a wait for table. Drinks did not arrive until after the food was already eaten, waitress did not have knowledge of menu. I left my phone and went back to get it a few minutes after leaving- our table and the one behind still not cleaned, plus another one where people had left sitting dirty. Really poor experience to want to eat lunch on the water but end up staring at half eaten food the entire time.

The service and food was amazing, extremely fast service and seemed like a confident staff.

Tower 7 Chicken Burrito.
Jim K.

You can't beat the waterfront outdoor dining location of Tower 7! A great place to enjoy a beautiful day and their excellent Mexican fare. The Tower 7 Burrito is a sizable sucker so either be hungry, plan to share, or get a box. The Pineapple Enchiladas were a big hit with our group as was the Taco Salad. Service is very friendly and prompt. Overall, I can't imagine a better place to enjoy the waterfront and a great Mexican meal.

Dinner and an appetizer.
Mack C.

We found these guys on the internet and were looking for a good place for dinner. Menu sounded great and wow, we were very pleased with our choice. Salsa was great. Chips were fresh and just the way we like the. The food was amazing. Maybe the best I have had since I left Texas and moved back to NC. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Morehead City, NC.

My lunch, exactly as I received the plate. They're kidding, right?
Felice B.

One star because the chips were warm and the app won't let me give zero or negative numbers. Every other one star review here? Believe every word of them. I did believe but to my regret I had no input in choosing the restaurant. The burrito seemed one of the less objectionable choices. It took 3 tries for the server to hear me say "pulled chicken." I might as well have said "soggy shredded cardboard" as that likely would have had more flavor. No seasoning whatsoever, not even salt. Same with the black beans - completely unseasoned in any form. According to the menu, this burrito should have included tomatoes and shredded cheese. It didn't. So what I got was the unappetizing mess you see below. I knew it was going to be bad when the server said the food would be out "very quickly." Sure. How long does it take to open a few cans, grab huge handfuls of pre-shredded lettuce, forget some of the ingredients, and fling them on an empty plate? I left most of it and nobody noticed or cared. In general, the service was stunningly indifferent. Also rather telling was the server's response when asked for a recommendation between 2 fish dishes. "I've never had them. We're not allowed to order those." Good job, management. The decor is identical to its previous incarnation as the Ruddy Duck. I'm thinking that was a good call on the owner's part. Less investment to lose when the place closes.

Baja flounder tacos
Laura S.

Food was amazing as always! Our server was absolutely wonderful super friendly. Guac was on point. Got there right as they opened and glad we did! By the time we left at 11:50 there was an hour wait. We sat outside and the view was great just super hot, It didn't help that there wasn't much of a breeze. Maybe install fans to help keep hair moving. Mostly definitely will be back.

My experience here was nothing short of exemplary. I will add that I got there only a little while after opening, around 11:15. But I left before noon with a full belly of incredible shrimp tacos and a margarita. They were fast, nice, and checked in me several times even as they got full. I will definitely be returning! (Photo is a bit blurry so my tacos kinda look mushy but I assure you they were perfect!)

Dare I say this is the BEST breakfast I've ever had? The Banks Grill absolutely blew me away!…read more Let's start with their "famous cinnamon rolls." They weren't lying about that title! This has to be one of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever tasted. You can choose between cream cheese frosting or pecan praline, and I HIGHLY recommend the praline. Here's a little tip: if you have any of that delicious sauce left over, dip your biscuit in it. Trust me, you can thank me later! Speaking of biscuits, they come with housemade apple or seasonal pumpkin butter, jams, and real butter. Talk about starting your morning off right! Now, let's talk about what I ordered: the Land and Sea Benedict. A large, fluffy, housemade biscuit topped with perfectly seasoned and cooked shrimp, fried green tomatoes, and Creole gravy, served with two eggs cooked to order and finished with bacon bits. Y'all, this breakfast CHANGED MY LIFE. Every bite was incredible, and I was genuinely sad that I couldn't eat more because I was so full. That's how good it was! If you're looking for a small, local cafe serving up absolutely incredible food, look no further. The Banks Grill is the kind of place that reminds you why supporting local businesses is so important. Put this spot on your breakfast bucket list! I promise you won't want to miss it. I'm already dreaming about my next visit!

We sat at the bar side which was very casual and busy. We ordered charbroiled oysters, oysters Rockefeller, truffle steak fries and a spinach bacon salad with grilled shrimp. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful in spacing out our food so that we'd have enough room at our small 2 top table. My cosmo was good and strong! The charbroiled oysters were amazing & the chargrilled bread to sop up the buttery garlic sauce made it even better. Highly recommend! The truffle steak fries were beautifully presented and a generous portion. They were perfectly fried and well seasoned with Parmesan, garlic aioli and truffle oil. Oysters Rockefeller were also very good as was the spinach salad with shrimp. If you're in Morehead, this is definitely worth a stop!

I visited Southern Salt after a local friend insisted I give it a try. Sometimes local…read morerecommendations are hit or miss. This one was definitely a hit. To my surprise, there was no wait and plenty of available seating. The restaurant is much larger than it appears from the outside, with a spacious dining area and a beautiful covered outdoor section overlooking the water. Watching boats cruise in while eating fresh seafood is a pretty tough way to have a bad meal. Atmosphere - 5/5 Southern Salt absolutely nails the casual coastal vibe. This isn't a place where anyone is judging your wardrobe choices. Think shorts, a polo, and a healthy appetite. The waterfront views and incoming boats create the perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal. Cleanliness - 4/5 The only minor issue was that our outdoor table was still slightly wet from an earlier rain despite being under cover. Not a big deal, and I almost feel guilty mentioning it. The restrooms, however, could use a little TLC. They're overdue for a remodel and a deeper cleaning. Nothing alarming, but enough to notice. (Urinal looked like it has been out of order for years.) Parking 5/5 Parking is free for patrons, which is always appreciated. The lot across the street was partially full when we arrived, so I could see it becoming a bit of a scavenger hunt during peak hours. On a Monday, though, it wasn't an issue. Service - 5/5 Our waitress, Isabel, was exactly what you hope for when dining out: friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant. She kept our drinks topped off without us having to ask and even brought a refill of the hush puppies. Any server who delivers additional hush puppies is operating at an elite level in my book. Food Quality - 4/5 The seafood was excellent. The flounder tasted fresh, the shrimp was grilled perfectly and seasoned well, and both were exactly what you'd hope for from a waterfront seafood restaurant. The hush puppies deserve their own paragraph. They were phenomenal. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dangerously easy to keep eating. If they sold them by the bucket, I'd have questions for myself later. The cocktail sauce and tartar sauce were also noticeably better than average. My one small complaint was the fries. They weren't quite fresh-from-the-fryer hot. A touch more salt wouldn't have hurt either. Still perfectly edible, just not operating on the same level as the seafood. Value - 3/5 Our total for two meals (with waters) came to $65.06+ tip paying cash. Given the quality of the food, portion sizes, service, and atmosphere, I thought the price was reasonable. It's certainly not cheap, but compared to nearby seafood options, it feels like a solid value. One useful tip: Southern Salt charges extra for credit card payments, so bring cash if you'd rather keep a few extra dollars in your pocket. Final Thoughts Southern Salt delivers exactly what most people are looking for in a waterfront seafood restaurant: great views, friendly service, fresh seafood, and a laid-back atmosphere where nobody is trying too hard. Aside from fries that didn't quite reach their full potential, this was an excellent experience from start to finish. Overall Score: 5/5 I'd gladly return for the seafood, the waterfront views, and, most importantly, the hush puppies that somehow managed to become the star of the meal.

Oysters were full and fresh. Love the steam shrimp. Friendly service and attentive. We sat outside…read moreduring a windy day.. a few menus from other tables flew into the water, but it was very nice at sunset. Lots of seating inside and on the dock

We we drove past this location we pulled in to give it a try and see if it lived up to the hype. But for the most part we were disapointed. I often say this about touristy businesses, sometimes they start out great, locals become fans and and they build a reputation. Then they get greedy, lazy, and stop improving. Things wear out, the dining room gets old and worn down, the food becomes just ok, but the prices shoot ay up. I think some places come to think their tourist customers will never be back so they can over charge and under serve. And they rely on that plus locals who come out of habit and go on for years that way. Yes the trees outside are cool. But the food was just mediocre and I left feeling sick to my stomach. We like to take home leftovers but nothing was good enough to bother with. I'm a fan of red snapper and have had it prepared many ways and rarely been disappointed. With Snapperz in the name you'd think they'd get it right. But this was a complete fail. My expensive piece of fish was hard, over cooked and tasteless. I also ordered the clam chowder, the flavor was good enough and the clams seemed to be fresh. However it was thin and watery like they were trying to stretch their dollars. It was not creamy it was simply watery and warm, not even hot. Come on Snapperz, you must have been great once, I'm sure you can get back to that if you put in the effort and reignite your passion for seeing great food to people who want to love you.
