Some of the best Pizza that can be found outside of Brooklyn can be had at Mario's Pizza. It is in a strip mall as you are headed into Havelock. There is a Chart House restraunt (not related to the chain I'm told) in Morehead. Most of the locals when I was living there went to a restraunt on the causeway headed into Atlantic Beach. It was on the left (my memory is slipping) before the steak restraunt. From personal experience, the restraunts on the left hand side of the causeway going into Atlantic beach were all fair to good, and the ones on the right hand side were all poor to fair.

Anyway, I second the suggestion for the White Oak River Cafe, especially for lunch after a morning of antique shopping in Swansboro. We really like the Purple Pelican at the Beaufort Yacht Club, Jason's at the waterfront in Morehead City, the Beaufort Grocery in downtown Beaufort, Rapscallions for a casual sandwich type meal in Morehead City, the Gourmet Galley in Morehead City (on Rte 70 towards Havelock). Make sure you stop at Fort Macon in Atlantic Beach, the NC aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores (where my folks live :), the antique shops in Beaufort. Tracy
Make sure that you go to the Sanitary Fish Market. If you're from NC,you always go to the Sanitary when you go to the beaches near there. Excellent fresh seafood.

I agree with the poster that said it had terrible food. If you plan to drive up to Morehead, go to the restaurant across the street from the Sanitary - Jason's. Tracy
The Sanitary is inMorehead City, on the Wataerfront. It specializes mostly in fried seafood. The food isn't bad/ isn't good. I don't like their cocktail sauce. It's mosly ketchup with pickle relish mixed in. (I prefer very hot horseradish cocktail sauces). Near Morehead is the little town of Swansboro (20 miles south). I have two favorite places there...The White Oak River Cafe (Italian food) and the Crab House (on the River). They both have better food than the Sanitary.
