Having dined at M&M's over the years, I was a little worried about the "new" ownership, but the food is still good, after all these years. The fresh tuna piece was huge on my sandwich and they blackened it for me (could have been a little spicier). My husband's crab cakes were excellent and the other couple's mahi and shrimp... More

If you spend any time in Oriental, you'll probably eat here within the first day or two. There aren't many restaurants in Oriental. If I was ranking it against all the places to eat in Oriental, I'd probably have given 4 stars, but I'll give it 3. Don't get me wrong--It's good food, but it doesn't set itself apart from... More

I'm always the youngest person in the joint whenever I walk in, and I'm over 50! The menu reflects the clientele -- old standards with minimal seasoning and big portions for the doggie bags.

My husband and I had the weekend breakfast buffet which includes made to order waffles or omelets. Plenty to eat. Friends who were with us ordered lunch off the menu. One like his grilled tuna sandwich, forget what the other one had. This was the second time I've eaten here and we will definitely go back.

Thirteen of us went out for dinner. Restaurant was very crowded (hurricane party) We got great service and fantastic food. Seafood was very fresh and spot on.

We asked several people in town where to go for lunch and this was it. The food was good, the servicing staff was friendly and the price was reasonable. I feel a place is a good find if it is full of locals. If you are in Oriental...check them out.

Fresh tuna salad sandwich and grilled shrimp sandwich...our choice for lunch...compliments to the chef. Also indulged in Kendall Jackson at $5.50 per glass was a steal. Definitely a good choice when in Oriental.

We ate burgers and quesadillas on the porch and had a wonderful time. They have a decent wine list and everyone there was friendly and wanting to help. I would have given it five stars but they allow smoking at the inside bar that you have to walk through to get to the bathrooms. Otherwise, it was a great experience.
