Hi: A couple of our favorite restaurants in that area are in Swansboro.
The White Oak River Cafe, great Italian food/nice blends of seafood with
fresh pasta and accross the street, the Crab House (also on the riverfront)
They tend to be priced the same as most coastal places. We get to
Emerald Isle several times a year and hit those two places all the time.

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.

I disagree! Some of the WORST food I have ever eaten has come from the
Sanitary.
Some of the most expensive in the area as well.

The Sanitary is in Morhead City, but in the Wilmington area, make sure that
you stop by the waterfront district. A nice area to have dinner and stroll
around the historic district.

The Sanitary Restaurant is not in the Wilmington area,
it's about two hours north in Morehead City. And
believe me, it's NOT worth the drive. 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.
