I was back in town to see someone I met here over a decade ago when it was a seafood restaurant, and since I was back in town, I wanted to see what the new place was like. The layout is very similar and mainly it's just been re-themed with some new paint schemes, but it had a good ambience and vibe. Margaritas were tasty and the food we had was good with excellent flavor. The service was friendly and efficient, and if I lived locally, this would be one of my hangouts. read more

I was in town for a short stay and noticed Tower 7 was in Morehead city. Being very familiar and love the Wrightsville location! In short the Morehead location was not up to same standards. - decor is more of a contemporary beach theme verses a Baja beach tiki hut surfer feel - diners were having to wait for tables when PLENTY were available - only one bartender servicing the whole restaurant. She was doing the best she could but set tone of over worked and sub par quality in drinks - food came out visually good and taste was good as well. Could be a little more hotter in food temp - loved the on the water vibe - just miss the overhead music, surf videos on tvs and tikki hut vibe Management hire an extra bartender, the bar seemed to be a hot seating location read more

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

Taco Tuesday's are great at this place! Cheap tacos and house margy's. Definitely where the locals go.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

On point with well, everything!! Seriously I don't say this about very many places but.. in house chips, salsa was just the right amount of heat and consistency. Guacamole had a nice bite on the end and wicked fresh. Food was on the smaller side portion wise but understandable considering the price. Server was friendly and no pressure implied. Two margaritas, app and three mains under $70 is a win in my book. Right on the inter- coastal waterway so the view is fantastic!! Zero complaints.. read more

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. read more

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!) read more

Tacos, the best fries, and great beers on tap - what more could you want after a day out on the water?! A recommendation from some local friends and now my recommendation to you! Tower 7 was the best place for some killer tacos and burritos and had incredible service! This place has the coastal vibe you're looking for without sacrificing on quality. We ordered the tower 7 burrito and their carnitas with a side of fries. I'm a big critic of fries but these were absolutely amazing! A pitcher of Pacifico to tie it all together and we were ready to hop back on the boat! If you're sailing through Morehead city you've gotta stop here! read more

Food was very good and service was excellent. Nice outside deck on the water. Will definitely go back when in the area.

Was okay... beautiful waterfront views but the food was subpar. I feel I could make better At home . If I went again I would get something else read more

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. read more

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. read more

Sat outside, had the chips and salsa, shrimp fajitas, and top shelf margarita. Delicious and incredible view. Nice twist and something different from shrimp burger and fries. Great service too. read more

Nice place, I like it. The service was excellent. Very pleasant and very prompt. Ample seats and seating options. The is the bar with an inside and outside seating. Inside seating, or outside seating. Outside you have the option of in the shade or in the sun. We opted for outside in the shade under the overhang. It was 86 out but with the shade and nice breeze it was perfect. Excellent views of the sound and passing boats. The food was good. We all had leftovers. read more

Awesome meal last night. Perfect end to our day on the beach. Wanted a casual waterfront meal and wandered into Tower7. Manager seated us (2) at a high top with a breeze and a view. My bride was craving frozen drinks and they had a great house margarita. They checked all the boxes for us. Food was great, Trinity our server was super friendly and made us feel at home. Excellent experience and we will be back!! THANK YOU !!! read more

The Poor Surfer tacos are a great bang-for-your buck at a place that has terrific waterfront views. Black beans, pickled red onions, jalapeños, cilantro, avocado, rice, and pico all served up in a make-your-own style taco with 3 corn tortillas. The tacos and and a PBR were less than $14 which is a great deal! If Charlie or Christina are behind the bar, do yourself a favor and order a spicy Mojito. You won't regret it. read more

Had the Triple B Quesadilla! Fantastic! Outside on the deck provided a great view of the water! Very happy with my visit to Tower 7 MHC!

Unbelievably slow to bring out drinks and food. The beans and rice were obviously pre-prepped and sitting under a heat lamp. I had a wrap that had a chewy tortilla and the shrimp was rubbery. Drinks were good but took forever. From the time we sat down, it took 45 mins for drinks and 55 mins for food. And this was a "normal" Saturday afternoon. I gave it two stars for the drinks only. As a local, this is NOT a place I will be revisiting. read more

Husband and I stopped in here for a margarita and light bite on a warm October night. I hadn't been here since the place was Ruddy Duck. We sat at the outside section of the bar and were quickly greeted by one of the bartenders who introduced himself and the other bartender. He brought us menus and chips and salsa. The chips were not overly salty and salsa was fresh and flavorful. I ordered the skinny margarita and husband the house. Both were not too sweet and you could taste the tequila. Just how I like them. We split the yellowfin tuna with black beans and corn tortillas. I ordered the tuna rare knowing it would continue to cook on the fajita pan. It was all good and nicely presented. Not a huge portion -- I could have eaten the whole thing myself. Overall great service with bartenders keeping our waters refilled and checking on us. Great atmosphere to sit outside right on the water. Would definitely be back. read more

Been several times. Food and service great. Margaritas are awesome. The view is to die for.Certainly easier to get seated during off season. Menu offers food selections for everyone. read more

We were seated immediately and server was right there and was friendly. As usual the chips were great and the salsa this evening was spicy and hot but for me hot isn't pleasant. I ordered Taco salad with beef and yes it was delicious but the flour shell was stale and tasted old. I've ordered many times and the shell has been fresh tasting. Hopefully this was a one time thing. Overall the food and drinks are great. read more

We've eaten @ Tower 7 four times; we're done. We only chose it for convenience because we were @ Big Rock Fishing tournament Weigh-In (on the same street). The food is awful, and the drinks are not much better. I had a chicken quesadilla; Taco Bell serves better. Their guacamole was tasteless and their margarita was 1/4 the size of those served @ Mezcalito in Beaufort. The one thing T7 has going for it is the view. Sooo, if tasty food/drinks are not high on your list, it's OK. The service was good, but if the food is low caliber, it doesn't really matter. The entire back of the restaurant is open to the water so it is hot, sticky with humidity and flies buzzing around your food. If you want outstanding Mexican food, Mezcalito in Beaufort is hands down 100% the best as well as their margaritas! It's also air-conditioned and free of bugs flying around your food! read more

Enjoyed some solid food and views while dining at the outside patio bar. Great location and scenic waterfront views. A happening and busy spot to enjoy some food and drinks. I had the "Tacos in a Beach Towel" with a "Pain Killer" cocktail to wash it all down. Had a nice lunch with a friend while the bartender chatted with us on a beautiful weekend day. Appreciate you having us! read more

Below average food. Tastes like a bland white person made it and didn't use any seasoning. The shredded chicken was very dry too. The only thing that makes it worth going to is the view on the patio. I personally wouldn't waste my time here. read more

Came in on a Sunday. Restaurant was not busy at all. We sat at bar and after10 minutes had to ask bartender for a drink of water. Food was small portions and blah. Wife got the ACP which is just shrimp and rice. I got breakfast burrito that tasted like it came from McDonald's. Overpriced, underwhelming, and poor service. read more

Went today, 7/19/25. Our server was great. The restaurant was disgusting. There was food all over the floor from prior customers, the wait staff was using dirty rags to clean tables and a women in a blue t-shirt was yelling at wait staff in front on customers, and I caught her eye as she walked by. She knows who she is. She never came out of the kitchen again. Food was not worth talking about. How long will they stay open other than beach drinking??? read more

Amazing food and excellent customer service - just what my hubby and I were looking for! Highly recommend this place for delicious food, strong drinks (yummo), beautifully decorated atmosphere, and spectacular waterfront views....we delightfully enjoyed the Tres Amigos app, Chimichanga pulled chicken, chicken and ground beef enchiladas! Oh and don't forget to try the Cantanrita margarita - and ask for a side of Mike's Hot Honey for a a little bit of spice in ur life! Oh and a special kudos to our fantastic waitress - u rock Christina! read more

The atmosphere, food and service is Great. I don't think the ratings are right. The food was the best and quick service to be so good.

$24 for the tower 7 burrito which was mainly beans and rice is just criminal. The food had zero flavor and incredibly over priced for what you get. Also, I think our server smiled twice the entire time she helped us. 10/10 wouldn't recommend. read more

My wife and I stopped in last night to try the newest Mexican restaurant in town. Place was empty. We sat at the bar. Chips and Salsa were promptly served, along with cold beers. Thin chips. So thin that the bottom of the basket was all crumbled up. Like eating the last remnants in a potato chip bag. Salsa was very good, nice spice. Server asked if I wanted cheese sauce. Said, "sure". It came out with a thick layer on top. You know how it get's when it's been sitting for awhile? It tasted fine when you dug to the bottom. We started looking over the menu. It was a one page menu, front and back. When the server came back, I commented that is the smallest Menu I had ever seen in a Mexican restaurant. She informed me that this was not a Mexican restaurant, it was a California Baja Mexican grill. A little on the lighter side. What?????? They bring chips and salsa, don't they. Don't California my Mexican! Looked through the menu and was having a hard time figuring out what to try. Found the fish tacos. OK maybe,, until I see the phrase , "Dos Equis Beer Battered Cod". Noticed it on several other menu items. They are proud of their cod. That did it. We are on the Crystal Coast at a restaurant at a famous location (Ruddy Duck) sitting over the water. and you mean to tell me that you're serving "Dos Equis Beer Battered Cod. Ain't no way! You have to do lot better than frozen cod off the USSyscoFood truck. This is not going to cut it when we are surrounded by an abundance of fresh local seafood. "Dos Equis Beer Battered Cod", Come on! So we kindly told the server, thank you very much, we'll pass on the entrees,paid our tab and headed to another restaurant. ......To a place known for fresh local seafood. It was GREAT. read more
