Restaurants near Indian Beach

“Good food, fast service every time.”

“Food was excellent! Service was fantastic! We had the bang bang shrimp and lobster dip for appetizers and they were amazing! Out of our party of 5, everyone was extremely pleased with their meal. We’ll definitely be back!”

“I've been dining at both restaurants for years and enjoyed myself ,the food , and the staff! The food and sides at Morehead have a better flavor, taste better ,and the portions are much bigger. I ve notice that recently on my last couple times that the sides are much better at both restaurants. The mash potatoes in Morehead are so delicious. I wish that was the same case at the emerald isle restaurant. The Cole slaw is the best that I have taste recently. I swear if the food was as good as the sides have been lately I wouldn't eat anywhere else. SNAPPPERZ KEEP IT UP!”

“We had a wonderful evening at Circa 81 today! The food and staff are fabulous! Peter and Jared the reservation host were a pleasure! Thanks for everything! Loved the steak, pork Wellington, and sea food Mac & Cheese Tapas. We even had room for delicious desserts! 😉 The Fox family!”

“Great local spot, a true institution. Pizza is real NY style and run by the nicest guys. Far and away the best cheesesteak in the area. I feel bad for the people leaving a bad review since they wouldn’t know good pizza if it hit them in the face.”

“Had lunch here with my daughter on Saturday, 5/18/24. So glad we tried it! We shared two sandwiches -one w/ "dilly mayo" & cucumber & turkey & muenster (so good!), the other with ham, swiss & horseradish (also a fave!), pasta salad, and an amazing bacon, cheddar, & jalapeno scone! Can't wait to go back!”

“Damn, reading these petty one star reviews make me so mad. I live 3 mins from HappyCake. They are AMAZING. If anything I would say these are a tiny tad too sweet for me personally but that is what Americans like. But i dont think these are too sweet for 99.9% of you all out there! So order away with no worries.”

“First time here. The service was great. The food was awesome and so was the margaritas!

This was our “go to” Mexican restaurant. After today, no more. They’ve added a $3 charge to use your debit card. Also, the waiter failed to put in my husband’s order and blamed it on the kitchen. I think he was new but he should have stepped up and told us. We were over charged on our margaritas also. I think we’ll take a break and find another Mexican “go to”. Too bad”

“Excellent food and even better service!”

“Best fried oysters I've ever had!!”

“Highly recommended. Albert's just created a beautiful Thanksgiving table centerpiece for our dear friends. It was a work of art and beautiful. We all admired it at dinner. Thanks so much, Albert.”

“Vibrant, Authentic, Flavorful

Food so good I forgot to take pictures!!!!

If you’re looking for a spot that serves up a fiesta for your taste buds, look no further! This Mexican restaurant is a vibrant celebration of culture, complete with colorful decor and lively Hispanic music that transports you straight to a sun-soaked plaza in Mexico.

From classic quesadillas to sizzling fajitas and the show-stopping Molcajete, there’s a little something for everyone. Pro tip: kick things off with their fantastic chips and salsa, then take your experience to the next level at their salsa/ceviche bar—trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Now, if you’re like me and have a soft spot for Birria Tacos with Consume broth, you’re in for a treat, but let’s be real—everything on the menu is a winner!
