Banks Grill is my go to for brunch with the kiddos! This place really is a local gem. The menu is more sophisticated and varied than your average breakfast/brunch place. The beignets are our favorite - hot sweet little powdered sugar pillows. Trista is the best!! She always makes us feel so welcome, like we're family. Great job, Banks! Highly recommended ?Kid-friendliness: Trista makes my boys, ages 14 and 9, feel so special. She knows them by name and always asks them about school. The food is fabulous, but we would honestly come just to see Trista! My 9 year old loves to color the light house on the kids menu. The portions of the kids' meals are very generous.

We were blown away at the friendly staff and delicious food! Daphne was a wonderful waitress and our baby girl was obsessed with her the whole time we were there. I ordered the breakfast chimichanga and my husband ordered the fried steak breakfast. Hands down the best grits I have ever had! The famous cinnamon roll topped with pecan praline sauce was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience here.

Went for Breakfast and was not that great for the expensive prices. Bacon was dry and way over cooked. Biscuits are dry and bland. Paid $40.00 for 2 people. Server was very pleasant!
Been visiting this place for years! Great food and service!

I like a standard breakfast and for me, I went with the special All American breakfast platter with two pancakes eggs to my liking, I did scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage (or bacon or ham), and their famous grits.The pancakes were light and fluffy and soaked up the whipped butter and syrup. My eggs were scrambled to perfection. The sausage was a standard sausage patty pretty good. The home fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with out being overdone well seasoned with a seasoning salt that brings us to the grits. They were creamy with a touch of salt, in short really delicious. It was nearly the perfect breakfast and I felt at home and well taken care of. This place has quite a wait sometimes which we know only means it’s really good. I’ll be back next time I’m in Morehead City for sure.Parking: In a strip mall so plenty of parking
