“By far the best fried shrimp we've had in the area. Got a combo with flounder and shrimp and it was enough food to feed 4 people. it was hot, fresh, and delicious. Also the best fries anywhere in the area.”

“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!”

“Romantic atmosphere. Absolutely delicious food!!! They have an amazing staff that is always a step above. We highly recommend this restaurant. This is our go to for our special times together. ❤️”

“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.”

“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!”

“Best fried oysters I've ever had!!”

“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.”

“Vibrant, Authentic, Flavorful

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

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!”

“This place is absolutely stellar. Not only is the food on the menu great, the STAFF here is excellent. Family run business and they take care of you like one of their own. Walked in a stranger and walked out with new close friends. Dennis really puts his whole heart into serving others and the love for what he does shows in the meals he prepares. Troy is so very personable and is loyalty driven, he cares as much as his dad Dennis - they are building a lasting legacy here. Renee was beyond helpful in choosing the perfect lunch and she had so much of a personal touch talking about her own family and all of the best places to check around the area. Highly recommend them and we WILL be back before we leave vacation. Very impressed with this little spot!!!”

“My husband and I decided to check this place out for breakfast during our visit in Morehead City. So glad we did!! . The breakfast was delicious! Prices were very reasonable. It was fairly busy and wait staff kept the place hopping!!. Busboy was on top of every vacant table and immediately cleaned it. Upon people entering the restaurant, there was always someone looking to provide seating. While we were there a party of eleven came in and within 10 min they were accommodated. Will definitely be back!!”

“Super great food and great people! From catering to dining in, always delicious and highly recommended.”

“Always great service when I grab food here. I love their pork belly with the Kim chi. The chips and different salsas are also delectable. ?. I typically order the pork belly without the Thai chili sauce as I don't like much sweet flavors on meats and I really want the seasoning on the pork belly and Kim chi to shine thru”

“This is the neatest little place. They have family board games, international snacks and the entire process is mostly self serve. We will be back!”

“Straight up latte. They have good breakfast burritos as well.”

Don’t know what you’d like? They help you chose based on your taste buds and goals!!”
