"After doing a ton of research on seafood places in New Bern, we decided that MJ's sounded the best. Eric was our waiter and was very nice and genuine. We ordered the MJ's crab pretzel as an appetizer and it was delicious, it had a lot of flavor and a lot of crab meat. My Fiancee and I shared the admirals platter for an entree. Overall we give it a 8.5/10. The shrimp were amazing! Had so much flavor and were boiled perfectly! Being from Louisiana, we were skeptical of the crawfish. The crawfish were lacking in flavor and were a little tough, but we are comparing it to Louisiana crawfish. So for someone who doesn't eat it all the time, they would be pretty good. The oysters were good and so were the crab legs. The Jamaican tarter sauce is very good, you can dip anything in it! The clams were okay, I just don't think we are big fans of clams. We probably wouldn't order the admirals platter again, but it is a good sampler for someone wanting to try everything MJ's has to offer. The restaurant was super clean, and all the staff were nice and quick to serve you. I would recommend MJ's for someone looking for good seafood in New Bern!"

"We recently had our first experience with Morgan 's. There was a wait for the restaurant, but not for the patio so we chose to take a chance on that. It was a chilly/rainy night, but the patio is covered and they have heaters to keep you cozy. There were times the heaters felt a little hot as it wasn 't too cold yet, but overall we really enjoyed the patio experience and would definitely choose that again. While I wouldn 't say this is our new favorite place, we definitely enjoyed everything we ordered. Peach Chop was a special and it was delicious, I would absolutely order this again! We also had a very good ribeye, (cooked as we asked), pasta, a burger and Mac and cheese for the little one. If you have a kid like ours that wants the orange Mac and cheese, fyi they serve white, but after some convincing he tried it and enjoyed what he ate. Our server was Caylee, she was very attentive and such a delight."

"The entire staff is amazing. It's truly a great place to have a meal with a wide variety on the menu. Prices cant be beat with the quality of the food. Its prepared perfectly on the plate, and whoever runs the kitchen does a remarkable job. These guys are GOOD! Its tough to stay seated and not walk into the bakery to see, smell, and want it all. Don't pass this place up. Service: Dine in"

"1. The meat tacos were underwhelming; they weren't anything special for over two dollars. The quality of the meat was decent at best—definitely not bad, but it was dry and lacked flavor. 2. The burritos were enormous—truly massive! It's clear that the local crowd prefers larger portions over quality, which is common in the South. Unfortunately, I found a significant lack of quality in the ingredients. The Beef Burrito Supreme was similar in size to what you’d find at Chipotle, but the quality of the ingredients was noticeably lower. As someone who enjoys cooking, I would suggest reducing the portion size by about 30% and focusing more on enhancing the flavor and quality. 3. The Vegetarian Burrito came with less than five spoonfuls of rice and beans, which seemed pretty sparse. Considering we were charged the same price as a regular burrito and ordered it without cheese, it seemed unreasonable that they didn’t add extra beans or rice to compensate for the small portion. Meanwhile, the beef and chicken burritos had so much rice and beans that it was overwhelming. 4. On a positive note, the Birria tacos were delicious. I regretted not choosing them instead of the meat tacos; I only tried one this time as it was my first visit. I plan to come back to explore the more authentic dishes that are available only on weekends to see how they compare. Lastly, I enjoyed the Mexican Coca-Cola served in a glass bottle—it was fantastic! I wish this restaurant the best of luck and hope to see it succeed, but I truly believe some improvements are needed. For someone local who hasn’t had authentic Mexican food, this might still be a 4/5 star experience."
