''My family has vacationed in EI, NC for 10+ years. We will NEVER forget 2003. Our ''farewell dinner'' was at the Clamdigger. My sister-in-law had the Chicken Parm. Took 1.5 hours to bring out the food, service was horrible, bill was $120.00 for 4 adults, 1 child (no drinks- we're driving home.) By the time we returned to our rental, my SIL was puking. We called the restaurant, and they said, ''You can't prove it was us.'' Classy! We moan at the memory each year as we drive past this horrible plac...''

''My husband and I are residents of Carteret County, and it is actually difficult to get good seafood on the coast these days. We were thrilled when we tried Cool Fish. The restaurant is reminescent of the oyster bars of yesterday, but the menu (and the food) is definitely modern fare. The seafood is fresh (Cool Fish is owned by Roses Seafood next door), the wait staff (mostly family) are well-mannered and upbeat. Weekends boast karaoke and bands. Please don't come to the Crystal Coast without try...''

''Definitely no gourmet restaurant but CHEAP! We were happy with our meals for the price and the service was good too. Coleslaw is phenomenal!...''

''Best place on the beach!...''

''I had the pleasure of having the pizza on a recent trip to Morehead City. It was just like the best pizza places in NY. Great sauce, cheese and crust! Well done folks!...''

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

''I've been to the one in Morehead City, and the food is not bad, but the prices are too high for what you get. The French fries are not even included in your meal - you have to pay for everything separately. The portion sizes are very small....''
