What an outstanding food find!!! This place is in Oriental, NC and is a must visit. I found a delicious new beer to drink. The calamari was excellent my crab roll was to die for. Mom had the Cubano that was different but amazing. The chocolate cake was fabulous. Service was outstanding and friendly. Thanks Taylor!!! She pointed out that she learned how to be a good server from her boss Dave. (Got your back T!)
This delightful place in this tiny town, the sailing capital of North Carolina, is nestled on "Water" street, just next to the harbor. Good food at reasonable prices, and excellent service. Quite a pleasant surprising find, and oh, so very much better than any of the fast food places.
Food was great, we tried the shrimp and scallop penne and the crab meat sandwich. Service was good but kinda slow since it looked busy for a Monday night and may have been understaffed. Either way, it took a long while for the food and check to come but server was sweet.
They have dinner specials so it would help to take a picture since it's a long list. They also have a small bar area and outdoor seating.
We went for lunch. Food was good, but I really wanted something bigger with more fish. The Mahi bites were delicious, crispy and not greasy. The soft shell crab sandwich was more bread than crab. Same goes for the fried oyster sandwich. We really need to go back and try a dinner. Staff was very friendly.
Best mozzarella sticks I've ever had with a very generous portion of marinara - delicious!
Fish filet was utterly unparalleled! Best my fiance has had (which is saying quite a lot), although he didn't enjoy the vinegar "drizzle" on the slaw and actually didn't eat it.
The blackened chicken sandwich didn't have any condiment on it, but it was so moist and tasty I didn't miss it. Absolutely perfectly crisp sweet potato fries as well.
We had the M&M brownie sundae with icecream (forgot to take a pic), and it was big enough to share and very good.
Desserts and appetizers are on the board if they are serving them so don't go strictly by the menu provided online.
A family member from Raleigh suggested we try M&Ms and it was GREAT!!! We had the crab rolls and they were delicious! The rolls were full of crab!!! We would definitely return when we are in the area. Service was excellent also. Mya and Shelby were so nice to us. I definitely recommend the crab rolls for sure. This was our first experience, since we live in Florida, but we will be back! 😊
LOVE THIS PLACE! I try to go on every visit to Oriental. They have an extensive menu to please everyone that walks thru their doors. I've thoroughly enjoying everything I've chosen. Don't miss the specials boards near the front door. Outdoor seating is protected so even if the weather isn't perfect, your visit and meal will be! Don't wait to try for yourself!
I had the ribeye with fries and onion rings, everything was mouth watering and delicious, honestly it was the best steak I've had in years and the onion were perfection. The staff was above friendly. The environment was homey, warm, and welcoming. Eat here, you won't regret it.
Food and service were outstanding! A few of us college buds met here bc one of our buds was sailing down the coast and opted to dock overnight in Oriental, NC. This was one of only two nearby options. We’re were pleasantly surprised and it made our mini reunion all the more enjoyable.

Everything was delicious. Our table had hamburger vegetable soup, fried shrimp, shrimp sandwich and a side salad.
