''Moved to the Crystal Coast about 3 years ago and for whatever reason never checked our Rucker John's. I did however hear that the food was great. So I thought it would be a great place to take my brother and his wife when they came to town. Our party of four all ordered different meals and nothing about it was special, more the same old prepackaged stuff you can get anywhere. I wouldn't waste your time on a ''special'' night out but might be a good place for a quick lunch....''

''This will mark the 11th year my family and I have vacationed in EI, NC. Flipperz is the most kid-friendly restaurant we've found (and with 3 under the age of 10, we've done our research.) The fun decor reminds us that we're vacationing at the beach (check out the restrooms!), the service is fast and fantastic, and the food is just fine. Price is so reasonable you don't notice you're dining out. Seating is limited so go early- it's worth it!...''

''I have been to Bushwackers a few times, happy each time...''

''We, a group of 8, ate there on 8-10-07 about 7:00 pm. We waited about 15 mins to be seated which was great. The waiter Larry came and took out drink order, and brought us hush puppies. It then took 25 mins to bring drinks. We all ordered, from flounder to oysters. The food arrived and was luke warm as if it had been under a warmer for hours. All in all we agree that the sea food was more like Mrs. Paul's. Especially the flounder. When you are paying about $20 per plate you expect a little mo...''

''This is the best Pizza between Swansboro and Atlantic Beach. Provides 2 meals a week to our houseful annually. It's BIG NY style. Not for the health conscious but that's what makes it great!...''

''My husband is a Marine stationed at Cherry Point, NC. We frequently eat here, and love it! The prices are reasonable for the beach, and the food is delicious!...''

''First timt in my life I loved or hated a place enouh to go online and write a review and I hated it. Don't know what the others found at this house with rotting floors but I found a horible crab claw pasta special and my husband got a $30 petite filet with white sauce and canned crab meat. I won't go back. If you chose this place expect around $100 tab for two at a place no better than Chili's. I undersand the area doesn't have much selection but this is no better and carries a big price. The de...''

''my husband and i used to go to this rest.40 years ago it would be the hilight of the month.being he was a marine at cherry pt. back then.and it would take us that long to save the money to go but the food was the best. they used to have a guest book to sign i am going back with my family this summer to revisit ole memeries and good sea food...''

''Love the hometown atmosphere. Friendly local folks. Waitresses very helpful....''

''Best seafood now on the coast, reminds me of Captain Bills in their glory days back in the 60-70's. The clear Down East chowder is authenic. lightly battered seafood is great and deserts are outstanding. Only complaint is they close on sunday and monday whn i usually visit morehead....''

''My husband is a Marine stationed at Cherry Point, NC. We eat here occasionally. Our favorite is the Crap Dip. The prices are a bit steep for the food that is served, and on occasion I have had slow service. However, comparing to other restaurants nearby, it is decent. (Psstt.. if you like Mexican, eat at El Zarape instead...unless seafood is really what you desire.)...''

''We've been coming to Atlantic Beach for 4 years. Amos's is one of our favorite activities. The ''Mosquito'' atmosphere is unique and fun. The food is exceptional!! I rarely order an entree off the menu because the specials sound so good...and they taste wonderful! My husband has ordered off the menu and loves that too. Thursday night is Sushi. This is one of our favorite nights.Sandy is the manager. His wife is the chef. She is always coming up with new recipes. Desserts are good too.They hav...''

''I love this place for breakfast and lunch, the best BLT's and fries around and the service is good too! Very nice waitresses.

It is worth the wait and it is a place where the locals go. I enjoy going there....''

''A few years ago, my family stayed here, we were driving around, and found it. The rooms really need fixed up and modernized badly. But, it was clean, and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly, and made the entire stay so enjoyable. The restaraunt is awesome. We didn't leave the whole week we were there. We are definetly coming back soon. This motel is very difficult to find on the web though....''

''I live 6 hours away and have made it a tradition every year. If I could only drive down, eat, head back home I'd be happy....''

''My wife and I have enjoyed Kathryn's since it first opened. We vacation every year in Emerald Isle and have always had an outstanding dining experience -- from the appetizers, entrees, deserts, and of course the martinis! As a resort restaurant, it offers the same quality and dining experience as some of the finer restaurants in the Philadelphia area. It is a ''must do'' on our list while vacationing. Ken, the owner, always makes us feel welcome and though busy, takes time to say ''hi''. Th...''

''We used to dine at the Gourmet Cafe regularly until they changed their menu. Most of the pasta dishes were removed. I was so disappointed at how many of the dishes were changed that I actually didn't find anything I wanted to order. I ended up getting something I normally wouldn't have ordered. The dish was very good; however, I probably won't be back because I miss the seafood pasta dishes. Best of luck to the restaurant....''

''My husband had just returned from deployment, and we were so excited to go out to a nice place. The atmosphere was wonderful, but our service was subpar. We were charged extra for our salads, when it was plainly stated on the menu that salads were included in the price of the meal. We brought this up to our server and she did nothing to rectify the situation. We also overheard the couple next to our table as they discussed the dirty glass and ''floaties'' in the woman's drink. Also, the table-se...''

''My husband is a Marine and we are stationed in the area. We enjoy Kabuto's very much. It is a very tasty place to eat, plus you can't beat the entertainment of the chef cooking in front of you. Just a tip, to avoid a long wait, especially on the weekends, call ahead and place a reservation. Also, the establishment offers an early-bird discount, call for details. To all of you who don't eat sushi...neither do I...however you MUST try the Morehead Double Dip... it is COMPLETELY cooked and oh so de...''

''The food is fresh and everything is homemade with alot of wonderful flavors in each choice of the menu. I also love the atmosphere, each table inside was made by the talented Kandy Williams who owns the deli and makes all the delicious food. I hope to go back this summer....''

''My husband and I and our two small children ate here on 1/18/08. We waited 15 minutes for a table since the place is small but figured it must be good since it was full. WRONG. The waitress was nice and attentive but the seafood was awful. My husband's fried shrimp tasted like chlorine and my catfish was along the lines of something bagged in the frozen section of the supermarket. The kids enjoyed their burgers/chicken fingers and fries but we paid adult prices(no kid's meals) and got huge po...''

''nice view, bad food, slow service, and the manager is dressed very sloppy. Did not like the menu selections and the food was cold. Steaks were not cooked right and were cold so they heated them in the microwave, BAD!!...''

''I have to say that I really loved this place and they were excellent all around. Food, service, atmosphere. I am very picky when it comes to my meal and the service and I will go back. Some of these negative comments I find to be untrue that others have wrote. I have been back several times and I love it and they are my first choice if I can get in for dinner. Waitresses are professional and prompt....''

''Superb Place with nice atmosphere, very clean with tasty food. Job well done by owners who daily show how hard they are trying to please each and every customer. My steak was delicious and the desserts are amazing. I'm not a drinker, so can not comment at all about the wine list....''
