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

''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...''

''Pros: Awesome taste, and varity of breads, good price
Cons: come early as with many bakeries
Best taste in Breads in the Eastern Carolinas I tried Bakeries from Raleigh, Wilmington, Myrtle beach and surrounding areas and travel an hour for their breads and buns especially for special occasions, just good tasting breads, not that Wal-mart, food Lion Taste...''

''This McDonald's has the WORST service of any McDonald's I have ever been to. It doesn't matter when you go, you can be sure you'll be waiting a long time for your ''fast food.'' I avoid this McDonald's like the plague. It takes less time to go inside the McDonald's in Wal-mart than it does to wait at this place....''

''We live in the vicinity, very good food. They have free delivery! My favorite is the Crab Cheese Bread. It is wonderful! Highly reccommended, and the price is good too!...''

''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....''

''Key west provided excellent scenery with the dockside seating but wasn't in conflict with outside sources such as nagging sea gulls or loud birds. The food is the catch. It is by far the best food that I have ever eaten. Everything is simple but is made with delicacy and to perfection. Steak is to die for....''

''We've been going to NYDeli for four years, and it's time fo the owners to redo the interior, and update the menu. The existing menu is good, but needs to be ''kicked up a notch''. Maybe some panini sandwiches. The redskin potato salad is excellent.
Jerry, the owner who takes the orders and mans the cash register has plenty of attitude--we call him the ''sandwich Nazi''....''

''Near top of the list for worst dining experience ever!

Food was lukewarm, not seasoned. (We were advised after meal was delivered, that seasoning must be requested).Soup was served after meal delivered. Complained about meal; sent back and ordered different item. Was charged full price for both entres.

After complaining, owner reduced price by a dollar.

The next trip to the area, the only way I would return to this restaurant, would be if I were hog tied and unconscious....''

''This is a very cool, little coffee shop located in Emerald Isle. It's quaint but with plenty of room to hang out for a great cup of coffee & a muffin or bagel, either with friends or just you & a good book....''

''A down-home bar/eatery with the best location (waterfront) and people-watching in Beaufort, it is always on our list of places to go while visiting Eastern NC.
Staff are very pleasant, and the kitchen puts out some yummy but not fancyschmancy meals and snacks. Usually a good band on the dockside deck in the evenings. We saw local favs Infectious Blues Blues and the whole waterfront was jumping. The Dockhouse IS Beaufort....''

''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....''

''The wraps are great! Glad to see Harkers Island now has more options for dining. Service was good and I liked the bright atmosphere. I also liked that I could stop by and pick-up a lunch to take with me to Lookout. I was told that if I called in I could dock my boat at Barbours Marina and they would deliver the box lunch to me. Sounds like something I will do the next time I am out boating....''

''New owners have reopened this restaurant with substantial changes, including the name being changed to the Broad Creek Cafe.

The traditional country flavor menu, such as fried chicken, meatloaf, and Brunswick stew, has been maintained, but expanded with fresh cold salads, appetizers such as quesadillas and buffalo shrimp, and hot and cold sandwiches, as well as ribeye and NY strip steaks, and the typical seafood dishes.

Portions are generous and well cooked, and prices are very reasonabl...''
